Gorgeous Marlena!! Hugs from Costa Rica

I love it ! Will work perfect as an every day look.
Wonderful look. I’m really into pink, rust and copper looks right now so this will be a perfect fit!!! Thanks so much!
Soooooooo pretty!!!
Yay! I have been waiting for this video tutorial since the depotting MAC eyeshadows video! woohoo! Thank you – I’ll be trying this look tomorrow
I LOVE THIS LOOK MARLENA YOU ARE THE BEST!!! I’LL TRY THIS TOM FOR SCHOOL TAKE CARE!!!!
Stunning, I love that yuu not only can pull off a gorgeous pink eye, but can link it to a cause. <33 Truely amazing work Marlena. I now have an excuse in case any teachers want to give me grief about wearing bright pink eyeshadow.
Thank you! And you rock that pink eyeshadow
Hello Marlena. I can’t wait for the new line!!!
I have this MAC Pigment BLUE BROWN Eye Shadow TARTAN TALE wish I love but i don’t know how to apply I just wondering if you have that pigment can you do a tutorial with it?
Thanks
Sorry Karin I didn’t mean to get in your conversation, but i was inserting the comment and my kids came to do something ….next thing I new my comment was in your comment.
Hi,Marlena.I need your help. I’m MAC NW 20/22, I like Revlon colorstay and Lancome Teint Idole Foundations.How can I choose the right shade?
Thank you
I think for Revlon you would be around #180 and Lancome, around a 2C
Marlena, I kid you not, I was thinking about asking for this tutorial for several weeks now. Thank you so much for doing this. You rock!!
You are welcome!!
Love it:)
Those colours are so nice:)
so pretty look i love pink!!!!!!!
Is there any look that won’t look good on you marlena! You are gorgeous inside and out…
God bless
Absolutely Stunning and Breast Cancer Awareness is so important.
Your heart is as beautiful as your gorgeous face!
I just love you,
lana
where’s the inspiration picture? i love the look btw, especially the umbrell pic (so cute). thumbs up as always, Marlena!!!
Hi Marlena,
I have a few MAC eye shadows and I wonder if they would work for this look? In particular, Sushi Flower or Free to Be. Would they be similar to the hot pink you used?
Also if I didn’t want so much pink, what would you suggest for cheeks and lips instead?
Thanks
Those MAC eyeshadows aren’t quite bright enough, but they’ll work for blending. Use them for a softer look
A close dupe would be MAC’s Passionate
For cheeks, wear just bronzer. For lips, you could probably do a peach color and be ok…
Thanks Heaps Marlena. I gave it a try with Sushi Flower and you’re right, definitely a softer look which worked well for work. I’m going to grab Passionate to brighten it up a bit for weekends
my Mom now have a breast cancer stage II she’s done with the 6 months chemotherapy but still she needs to be check up every 3 months. I don’t let her see how sad I’am but inside my heart I’m depressed and just praying all the time for her. Thank you Marlena for this tutorial
more power!
I’m SO sorry to hear about your mom! I’m glad that she is done with chemo though as that is so rough
Big hugs to your mom
Thank you so much! and thank you for making videos for us your BIG FANS! stay beautiful, sweet and take care always! God Bless you
Could you do a gray smokey eye for brain cancer? This is beautiful, but it breaks my heart when I know people who have cancers that are more difficult to treat with a higher mortality rate that don’t receive *nearly* the same funding or awareness.
love this look so soft and pretty, very wearable!
Love the pink look on you, I´m a redhead so I´ll have to adept it…but only a little bit
. Thanks for sharing
LOVE it! Thanks for all your tutorials! (^_^)
That’s so gorgeous, I’m going to give it a go this weekend. I’ve done something similar in the past with a metallic silver on the lid and a shocking pink cut crease which was cool. I used a lip liner to draw the cut crease but as you said it can be a bit sticky and I’ll try again with just shadow and a precise brush.
Marlena dis look is absolutely beautiful on you & all of us makeup geeks really appreciate you bringing awareness to breast cancer, you are doing a wonderful thing!
Marlena,
I have recently gone back into doing makeup full time, after a few years of a hiatus…every tutorial is absolutely wonderful. This one is particular because I have several friends that are facing this challenge..I look forward to showing them this look! THANK YOU!
this is an awesome look, as always you can pull the most unusual colors and make me think twice about getting them.. breast cancer is highly genetic on my moms side and i worry all the time about maybe facing it myself someday,this is actually a great look for breast cancer awareness. im soo gonna rock this!! ^_^
im more into dark shadows, im shopping this week for pink ones.
I think this looks PERFECT on you!:3
I simply ADORE pink eyeshadows! Pink anything really.!
So pretty pink is my fave color, BUT PINK ON ME HMM I DON’T KNOW I WILL MOST LIKELY LOOK LIKE A 30 SOMETHING YEAR OLD TRY’N TO HARD TO LOOK 15 OR SOMETHING AGAIN!…WHAT COLOR CAN I COMBINE IT WITH AN STILL GET AWAY WITH THE PINK LOOK?…ANY SUGGESTION’S ?…thanx have a beautiful day.
Hey Marlena, I really want to buy the eve salmon concealed from your store but don’t know what color I should choose. I wear C3 in Mac, any suggestion?
By the way I really love this look!
Eve Pear Salmon Concealer. Sorry! lol
Hi!Marlena thanks for the tutorial it really helps me coz I often use pink eye shadow nd pink blusher it looks like I use th same shadow on my cheeks.bronzer wil help me …..thnks
Hi Marlena,
This is really beautiful. It’s great that you support such a worthy cause. My favourite part was the “I don’t want to look like a pink freak!” part. Ha ha. Laughter is the best medicine after all.

Hello Marlena!
You’re really pretty in pink ^^
Kisses fronm France
Very fresh look and very easy to do. Perfect for spring as well.
you shouldn’t be putting ebay where it says where to get it,
Ebay is the worst place to buy make-up there is lots of fakes.
Absolutely beautiful Marlena! I’ve been trying to find the perfect pink makeup look for the past two weeks or so now and I LOVE this one. Can’t wait to rock this look!
Hi Marlena,
First of all, I would like to thank you for teaching me the ABC’s of makeup. Love the way you do the tutorials(precise and informative),especially the eye makeup. Keep up the good work and keep smiling!!!
BTW, as always loved the pink look.
Your hair looks beautiful!

Marlena I absolutely love your eye make up! you are so talented! I am new to your site and new to make up as well, I was wondering if you offer the steps to applying the make up in this look ( pretty in pink breast cancer)? I would love to try but have no idea where to start. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
I love your videos its safe to say i learned all of my makeup tricks from you =) thanks bunches for being awesome
Hey Marlena,
my eyes are monolids,
and I was wondering if this look will work for me
and also If I should color my lids in the same way that you did yours.
This is my first time surfing you tube for makeup looks and I wanted to say that it’s really wonderful to see someone like you sharing and educating people about makeup. Its truly refreshing! I’m a stylist myself, and everyday I learn something new. You’re amazing! Thank you.
Really pretty! You’re my make-up role model! LOL You’re amazing! A make-up godess!
Gorgeous makeup,
I love all your looks I love coming on the website to see them all.
It takes a wonderful creative mind to come up with these looks and ALL you ladies have it.
Excited to see what you girls will produce in the new year!
Have fun and sparkle!
