Normally, I would not make a comment on this guy's looks, but since he's such a blatant misogynist claiming that the only reason a woman might take umbrage at his LARPing is coz she's jealous of how pretty he is, I am going to make an exception and say this:

The different coloration of Lux's face compared to his neck and exposed chest stands out to me as very noticeable and jarring. With all the time and energy Lux and guys like him devote to altering their appearance via makeup, false eyelashes, painted-on brows, lip plumping and lining, advanced contouring techniques, weaves, wigs, costly and extensive surgeries, etc it's surprising that Lux never learned this basic rule of Modern-day Makeup 101 that used to be stressed to girls and women: if you're gonna slather foundation on your face, you better apply it to any part of your neck and chest that will be exposed as well - otherwise you end up with a glaring and distracting mismatch in skin tone that only draws more attention to the fact that your pretty is just a bunch of store-bought phony that's been painted on.

For some reason, I imagined metal band KISS: https://i.imgur.com/vPn6OF7.png

They were very popular in USSR. And on their live I was present, they had faces very pale, necks mildly pale, and open chests of normal skin colors. Just like this guy (but reversed, for some reason his face is darker - especially visible when he puts hands near face).

The difference is, KISS was going for artifice and their face paint was inspired by other theatrical traditions - such as makeup worn by mimes, and the imagery of sock & buskin (the ancient symbols of comedy/tragedy, usually depicted in black & white) - as well as by the warpaint traditionally worn by males in battle in many cultures in past historical eras, and the pale face powder and dark black accents worn by aristocratic, fashionable men in France in the 17th and 18th centuries. The men in KISS weren't female impersonators, and their makeup in no way resembled the kind of makeup worn by real-life girls and women in their own era or past eras.

Also, none of the male rockers of the 1960s, 70s, 80s and 90s who did sport makeup that more closely resembed the kinds of makeup often worn by girls and women in everyday life as well as in movies, TV and advertising did so with the intent of being seen as female. They had no desire to pretend to be the opposite sex. They were not female impersonators, but were simply guys who had fun wearing makeup. Even Marilyn Peter Robinson - who in some of his getups could "pass" as a woman especially in still photos - never expected that when he was dressed and made-up in "feminine" mode that anyone would mistake him for a woman.

Whereas today Lux and men like him want the rest of the world to believe that by changing superficial aspects of their appearance, they have somehow magically changed sex. Guys like Lux are simply the latest in a long line of female impersonators, but unlike the female impersonators of the past, they seem to really believe their own PR and BS. They have deluded themselves into thinking that by extensively making use of today's advanced cosmetic surgeries and makeup techniques they've somehow managed to achieve verisimilitude - "the appearance of being true or real."

Oh boy do I have something for you. Lux's face looks very off because he's filming himself with a smartphone app. I'm not sure if it's FaceTune or Snow but they both do the same thing AND you're able to film yourself with them. You just have to make sure you don't move around too much and you have to use a background with not many objects in it because if you do, it'll blur the objects and make it look more obvious that you're using a filter.

Even more, I did some digging and I found an unfiltered pic of this person. This is what Samantha Lux really looks like without the filter he uses in his videos and pictures It's pretty much Blaire White all over again Just another trans-identified man who discovered that they can alter their appearance for videos by taking advantage of face-altering apps.
