    What MAC colors are similar to the shadows you used in the 88 color palette? Thanks!

    Hi Marlena,
    Where did you get the palette for NYX blush you flashly showed in the video?

  5. Fizzy on September 2nd, 2008 at 2:20 am:

    Hey Marlena,

    I love this back to school look! I’m a teacher and I know that I’ll be using this look for tomorrow’s first day back! One question though- what colours did you use in the 88 palette?

  6. Chiby on September 2nd, 2008 at 2:34 am:

    Wow Marlena, this is the look I have liked the most. You have really inspired me to start using make up more often and let me tell you, everybody is noticing. I am getting very good comments. I really like this look, one because I wear glasses and two, because it’s really simple and it goes really well with the type of job I do where wearing to much makeup is not a good idea (nurse in an extremely busy office). Keep up the good work!

    This is a great look. I wear glasses so I know I am really going to get some great use out of this look. Thanks!

    great !
    I did it this morning using MAC eyeshadows : patina on the lid, kid to blend , orb under the brow. I smudged the brown eyeliner with dark edge.
    It’s natural and lovely ! I love it !!!
    Thank you Marlena :)

    Hi, I just wanted to say I love watching your videos, and to point out that you said “Back to look” at the beginning of the video :)

    Also, I was wondering, what song(s?) is/are playing at the beginning and end of the video?

  10. Reo on September 2nd, 2008 at 10:57 am:

    Hello Marlena ! your palette it is the shimmer or the classic ??

    thanks a lot for your website, i love it so much !!! (i’m french)

    Hey, Marlena, that’s exactly my everyday look. Looove it!! Suits you very well, too. But then again, every look you do suits you very well. ^-^ Thanx again for sharing.

  12. Mariella on September 2nd, 2008 at 4:30 pm:

    SM Gellar is one of my favourite actresses ever, we’re exactly the same age and I have copied her looks a lot because I love her style. And I was/am a big Buffy fan :-)
    Thanks for this Marlena!

    Hey Marlena,

  14. Stephanie on September 3rd, 2008 at 1:38 am:

    Hey Marlena,

    Sorry about the reply before, I pressed submit by mistake. I would like to know if you can use the colors from MAC’s Spiced Chocolate Quad from Cult of Cherry. I think the colors are great and I know you can create an awesome look.

    Thanks,

    Stephanie

    Gorgeous! I am a teacher and wear glasses at school most of the time ;)

  17. Laurette on September 3rd, 2008 at 11:18 am:

    This look is really pretty and I tried to make it tomorrow with what I have : cork, bamboo and espresso (and liner dipdown).
    I don’t have the same result as you because I can’t “blend” the liner and espresso together, do you have an idea ?

  20. eleanna on September 4th, 2008 at 3:55 am:

    i think that your website is really cool and helpful! you really know what you re doing! my sister is 14 and she wants to start wearing makeup. Can you please make a tutorial about makeup at her age? thanks! oh and by the way you look really beautiful!

  21. rosey on September 7th, 2008 at 3:42 pm:

    I love your website and the easy way you demonstrate the techniques. I am using your tips and it’s great to see how polished I look compared to before! Thank you!

  22. Sarah on September 7th, 2008 at 7:12 pm:

    Thanks for doing a tut. for glasses wearers - The tip about lips needing to balance out darker glasses frames was great. I have always felt that my look was great until I got to the lip area of my face. I don’t like dark lips, because I don’t like my lips that much and don’t want to draw attention to them, but if you could recommend some medium tone colors of the MAC tinted lipglasses that would be wonderful. I have dark brown hair with red highlights, and an olive complextion.

  25. Jessica on September 28th, 2008 at 4:02 am:

    Hey! I just found your tutorials on YouTube and LOVE what you do. I’m a die hard MAC gal myself. But I have a quick question about the 88 Color Palette. Is this the same Palette you used for the Britney Spears look?

  26. Dana on October 19th, 2008 at 2:23 pm:

    Thank you for this, it looks great! I’m going to try it out soon, hopefully it will look good on me like it looks on you. :)

  27. Shayla on November 9th, 2008 at 5:06 am:

  28. Shayla on November 9th, 2008 at 5:26 am:

    oh yeah and i forgot to say can i use my liquid eyeliner for this or do i have to have the cream eyeliner??

  29. aneesha on November 13th, 2008 at 1:52 am:
