very beautiful!
considering I’m persian!
Beautiful as always!! Would the Maybeline Color Tattoo in purple work for the base?
I think that would work fine
It’s a little more purple than plum, so the colors will be cooler but it should be ok
It’s beautiful as usual
Can u show foundation routine vth bright under eye
Yep! Foundation video is coming soon
Very pretty!
Thank u Marlena. I have a bellydance performance next weekend so this will work perfict
how fun is that?! I hope your performance goes great
Do you remember the name of your nail polish in the video?? That is the perfect shade of pink!
I think this one is gel based, so not sure of the color
wowwww. without the sparkle part…i’ll do this for work!!!
Pretty like always
Can u tell me about ur hair
Is it keratin treatment ?
It’s beautiful
Thx
I have a hair care video coming up in a week
No keratin treatment, but I switched shampoo and I use the Phyto hair cream
Beautiful!!! Love Glitter!!!
Hi Marlena!!! I LOVE this look! Can you give an alternative for the eye shadows? I would like to buy MUG eye shadows that will match the MAC colors used. Thank you!
I wish we had a bright pink (I’m working on it), but I would just put cupcake in the crease as it’s not as bright then put Sensuous or just a touch of Corrupt in the outer part to darken it up
this look is amazing…marlena u look gorgeous…..this look is ver y similar to the metallic eye make up look that u done..
Which one is that? I’m trying to remember- haha
I’ve taped so many so its hard to keep track of sometimes 
you are so so beautiful!
thank you so much! What a sweet comment
Hi,Marlena.I need your help, What do you think about Dr. Hauschka and Origins products?Thank you.
You know, I haven’t tried them much… I’ve never heard of Dr Hauschka- where do you buy that brand?
It´s a German brand .www.drhauschka.es
I have found Dr Hauschka moisturizers to be fabulous! Rich and gorgeous, really good quality…
Whole Foods also carries that line.
Hello Marlena! I recently joined this wonderful website and I am subscribed to Your chanels on Youtube. I have no words to express how grateful I am for Your work and the inspiration You are giving Me. And not only make up wise, but also as You are sharing Your personal journeys with us, which are very inspiring and motivating. Thank You very much and I would be over the moon happy if this message would reach You!
And this look is absolutely amazing, always liked how the pinks, purples and golds go together! Just gorgeous!!! =)
What a sweet comment- thank you so much Karina!
Hi Marlena!
I’m from Brazil, I’ve enjoyed watching your videos soooo much! You laways sound so sweet! I wish I could have gone to the IMats to meet you! oh, by the way you were looking great! Thanks for sharing all those wonderful tips!
Great Make up Tutorial, thanks a lot. You can’t beat the East when it comes to stunning make up like this.
Keep up the great work (looking beautiful
Hi Marlena! I was wondering if you are doing something different with your eyebrows?? I noticed you used a Paint Pot… Is this a new technique?? Thanks
Yes, I use the paintpot now as it’s a little lighter in color and more natural looking
I have a brow video taped and should go up in 2 weeks 
Love the video, very beautiful makeup. One thing I have noticed lately is that sometimes you lower head while working on your eye makeup and we can’t see you so maybe the video can be zoom out just a tiny bit more so when you do lower your head, we can still see what you’re doing =) Keep up the good job! Been following you for 4 years and counting!!! <3
I gotta move my mirror up higher- haha! Dang thing is too short
Love the look Marlena!! Do you think the color Sushi Flower by MAC would work? Thanks for another great tutorial. Can’t wait to meet you at IMATS in Jan. I’ve been wanting to try your lipsticks. So far I’ve purchased some of your brushes and I absolutely love them.
Yes, Sushi Flower should work great
Will just be a smidge lighter, but might be better to tone it down 
hi marlena can you give altrenative for your .nail color its auosome just the pink i want love your vidios thank you
I LOVE this look. Sexii!
I’m just wondering how you got your MUG eyeshadows to stick your z-palette?? Because I know that they don’t have a magnet at the back (|I’ve bought a few MUG eyeshadows and love them. I’m even placing my third order next week 
)
Oh, it’s because the pans are magnetic
They aren’t made out of aluminum or tin — that way they stick to magnetic palettes
Hi Marlena!! Beautiful tutorial, thank u for sharing!!! By the way, what spray tan are you doing? You have such a gorgeous color!!!
hey Marlena
After you put on the glitter on your eyes they go everywhere and make mess sometime i can’t just brush tem off can you please show me how to fix a glitter or sparkle mess thankx love all the videos.
Marlena! You are gorgeous! I must know the name and brand of your nail polish it looks great on you!
The most beautiful and creative look that I have seen… Congratulations for all your work with the website and your career as mua, I really admire you..
Regards from Juarez, México!!!
That second last picture is so drool-worthy! Baby Rose looks really pretty!
Do you use the Eve Pearl concealer to cover blemishes? Like acne and discoloration? I’m looking for one that does that.

Thanks for all your videos!!!
