Marlena, sad I didn’t win but happy for the other girl!! That’s an awesome palette. Maybe next time.
I have a question pertaining to your make up (specifically your eyes) in this video. Is there a tutorial for that look out already or will there be one in the near future? Like many of your other MUG’s, I have found that I LIKE make up now after so many years of being scared of it. Thank you so much for publishing your tips, techniques, and awesome personality. It’s very encouraging!
I haven’t taped this look yet- I was planning on it, then got rushed for time so didn’t get to tape. But I can do this look if everyone wants it
YES YES, Please Do Marlena!

I had no idea you were doing a contest!

Wow, you’re great with all your tips, they’re a big help for all of us to enjoy. question ???? can you do a makeup tutorial from the New York palette pls, would love to get new color combination
I’ll see what I can do!
Hi Marlena,
You are ADORABLE!!! I was googling a smokey eye “Kardashian” look and I found your website!! Let me just say that I didn’t think I had OCD until now!! lol!! I seriously sat infront of my computer and watched EVERYTHING … from the tutorials to the articles…EVERYTHING!! I’ve always loved, loved, loved makeup, but since I’ve put on some weight I started to loose my desire to make myself look pretty! Well honestly you’ve inspired me to get my “bleep” together and get healthy, happy and beautiful again! I started back at the gym this week and I feel great! Just seeing what you can do with makeup really made me miss the looks I used to do on myself…so thank you!
I’m a MAC addict and I find it hard to stray b/c I love their makeup…BUT…I saw how much you used NYX and that you had a very positive opinion about it so I went out today and bought a few palettes, some singles, a few lipsticks and liners. I live in Canada and they didn’t sell any of the lipglosses or blushes at the stores in my city so I think I’m going to have to order a bunch of them from your store, I already have a few things on my wishlist.
I know that some people seem to be getting on you about the use of models in your videos, I think it’s just b/c you are SO enjoyable to watch, full of energy with a FANTASTIC laugh! But, ya gotta do what ya gotta do and as long as you keep putting up these amazing tutorials, I’m hooked 100%.
Keep rockin’ Baby!! xo
Shauna, I’m SO glad you found the site!!! That’s exciting about you getting healthy again- it IS hard, but I know you can do it! I still have 60 pounds to lose, but I know I’ll do it time
I love MAC makeup too, NARS is another fav of mine
NYX is good also, but my fav products from them are the 10 eyeshadow palettes and the lipglosses! Oh, and their blushes are pretty nice too if you like matte finish.
you look really nice today.. sitting infront of the window gives you a nice glow to your face.. love your makeup like always.. i still havent gotten a response on the smashbox cream liner palete.. just in case you havent read it i purchased it like 5 or 6 months ago.. and i tried using it once but it just didnt grab enough color idk what im suppose to do or spray on it some fix + … help please!
What I would do is take your brush and dip in eye makeup remover first, then dip in the palette- or you could take a clean toothpick and mix a teeny bit of makeup remover with the liner to soften it and make it creamy again. Try just 1 color to see if that works and let me know
Hi Marlena,
I love your nails, I’m in cali where do you get them done?
And I also have another question, do you recommend the sigma
Brushes? Please advise. Thanks.
I get my nails done at Top Coat Nails- they’re a chain here in central California, and I get the gel tips.
I do like the Sigma brushes
When will the makeup brushes in the MUG store that are sold out will be available or back in stock???
They’re supposed to be in next week- my supplier keeps telling me they’re backordered, which I believe is because we’ve sold so many of them. I keep calling them every week to see when they’re in, so hopefully very soon!
Hey you were adorable in this vid,
. I just have an unrelated question, are you going to finish the series on becoming a makeup artist? I do love my career with Mary Kay, but I still want to break out into the makeup art field, cuz it’s what I really really really wanna do when I grow up. LOL. Loves.
Yep- I do plan on finishing the series
It’ll be posted in November
Ha! I chose rain…….but I also live in the desert, where it’s still over 100 degrees!
Ha! I chose rain…….but I also live in the desert where it’s still over 100 degrees out!
Must admit though! … it thought at the 3.00 min mark in the video that Goddess was going to get the Jadam Bombs out for a split second thier! mmmmmmmmmmMM Heaven sent!
On an offbeat question goddess ……. do you have any Italian connections within your family? as this as always bugged me as you have that Italian cheekbone line and face structure, also your outer eye shape are kind of to the Italian way … just been wondering this for a long time thats all.
Yep- I’m half Italian! wow, you’re good
Mom’s Italian, and Dad’s German
CONGRATULATIOS TO THE WINNER.!!!!!!!!!

Thanks so much for your response. Also I purchased the MUG Deluxe Stippling Foundation Brush and I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It really makes a huge difference. Thanks so much for all your videos you are awesome. I have always loved applying eyeshadows and all kinds of colors but now even more with all your helpful videos. I have received so many compliments since watching all your videos when applying my eyeshadow.
Hey Marlena! I have been watching you for such a long time now. You truly help me everyday when I am getting ready and I’m not to sure what makeup look to wear. I speak of you as if I know you, whenever I saw Ohhhh Marlena said to do this or wear that everyone knows who I am talking about. Hahaha Hope all is well enjoy this lovely day!
Great vid Marlena BUT when in the world are you going to come to Denver, Colorado?
Heard you say you love fall colors – we have them! Come fix us plain Janes soon!
Luv ya
Hello Marlena,
I wish you did not act like a african american. It does not suit you! You are better than that and you seem to be a classic lady.
bye.
Exactly how do African American act? Your comment is very ignorant.
I shouldnt react to this, I consider myself to be very nice and easy to get along with, but there is a side of me that is a bully-slayer. I dont like to see nice people be insulted or picked on so I feel compelled to get on my cape and tell mean people a thing or 2 about themselves. SOOO LUPE, I’m assuming you are of some latino background, like myself? Was it that Marlena had the “Tupac” song “CALIFORNIA”in the background? Or her refference to if you are a BIG BOOTY GIRL? What kind of an “American do you suggest she behave like to suit someone like you? Should she be at home with her mom making tortillas before the family recipe is lost? Maybe behave like the little woman that cleans in a hotel? OH, but thats what OUR stereotype is, forgive me. So how do half Italian & German Americans behave? Fistpuming in a club with a swastica expertly applied on her foeread? Sounds pretty ignorant huh? You suggested that she is to good and classy to act like an African American, I say why dont you not comment such horrible, tasteless, classless comments and save your racism for somewhere else, just the idea that your name is LUPE makes me want to apologize to everyone on this site that we Hispanic sisters are not ignorant, dilluted, or influenced by this kind of talk. Sorry Marlena, and thank you for the incredible vid, it was good to see you back.
Wow, Marlena I just wanted to say that I had never love makeup like I do now since I saw your video at You-tube- it’s being more then a year I see your tutorials anytime I want to do something different, you have being an inspiration for me and for many others I’m sure of that, I always being big size well got into using size 18, I started working on loosing some pounds because my boyfriend always make me feel I was big, he always looked at skinny good looking girls at all time even chat with them everyday, that depress me many time, I got up and decided on doing something to change my life and I did it because of me, with cutting off some junk food and walking on my lunch time, I lost a few pounds and came to your page every single day to learn tips on doing my makeup, just wanted to say that I gain lots of courage on making myself look different and I not only loose some pounds, but I also got rid of him, He made me no good at all, now he sees my change and doesn’t wants me to continue, but now better then ever wants to continue learning to motivate myself so I don’t go back to where I was. Makeup have change my everyday life and that”s thanks to you. I just wish I can get to know you in person to thank you for all you done to me :’( thank you so much
congratulations to the winner!!!!
Hi Marlena. I love your spirit. You alway exude happiness! I also love your make up skills. Can you please do another tutorial with the Naked Palette by UD. My local Sephora just got more in stock so I got my hands on it.

I have dark hair and blue eyes so I have just ordered the pallet for blue eyes, I am very excited to try it out.
You are fabulous at what you do.
