OHH WISH I WAS GOING BACK TO SCHOOL SO I CAN TRY IT!!! HAHA JUST KIDDING IM GOING TO TRY IT ANYWAY, ITS SO PRETTY!!!!!!
Hi,I cannot see your video… it says that its a private video…. why is that??? I really would like to see it!
It should be up now
I make it private for a bit so it has time to finish processing- the quality is better that way…
hi merlan
i have a thik eyebrow does ur tutorials is fine for how have thike eyebrow ?
Marlena, I think you may have made it private.
Hi Marlena,
I cant see your video. Wish I could see it.. It saids private.
Hi Marlena!
Welcome back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I missed your videos! It does say that it is private. Can’t wait to see it!!!!! Love the look already.
Thanks Marlena for fixing the video…I did miss you..Hope you had a wonder vaction!! We all need one.
Marlena,
What brand of brush was the angled one you used to contour (in this video)? It is black with a black handle.
Pls let me know!
Thanks!
this video had too much lighting and it was kinda blurry, but it is a exelent video thanx!
..great look..can’t wait to try it..also wanted to check back with you about the Coastal Scents 88 matt palette review..I e-mailed you a few weeks ago; it’s still saying that the video has been removed..I would really love to see it as I want to know your thoughts on it before I order it, which I am just itching to do..lol..please advise on the review, and keep those tutorials comin’..lol..
I took the video down as after I used it for awhile, I wasn’t as impressed
It started to feel chalky- the 120 palette from ebay is much better imo…
can you do a more natural look for going back to school with just mascara and eyeliner? because in my school your not allowed wear eyeshadow .
The video isn’t working

Just wanted to compliment you. Your website is very professional as well as user friendly and more importantly you clearly know what you are talking about.
I just watched some of your tutorials and I’m looking forward to seeing more (especially on how to apply lip liner/lipstick)
Thanks,
(make-up deficient mom of two)
..Hi Marlena! I’m a junior in high school and today was my first day of school! I found your website through youtube over the summer and I have been practicing what looks look best on me. Sophomore year I just wore liquid eyeliner and it was a somewhat boring look. When I returned to school today wearing this look everyone was stunned I was receiving compliments left and right and I just wanted to thank you for sharing your gift with me..
Hey thanks for making a back to school tutorial! And just in time too!! I looove this look. It is perfect. I love using bright colors, but this way it is sort of more subtle, yet very cute! I was also wondering…..can you use any color with this look? And how do you know if the eyeliner is waterproof? Mine always seems to migrate around my eye! Thanks for your help!!
heyy just to say if you dont want to use an expensive eyeshadow base just use a foundation that is applied slightly thicker than normal, this will do the same thing and i have been using this method for ages. It definitely saves money!!!
you have the longest lashesh but mine are short and thick and stick striaght out how can i make them look longer?
I have only recently discovered your channel on Youtube and I am hooked! I never really had anyone to teach me the basics. Your tutorials have been really helpful. I never understood why people wore powder-thank you for explaining it! I love every one of your looks so far and can’t wait to try this one. Thanks so much for doing all of this!
I love your work, they way you teach .. you are so engaging i could watch your videos for hours. Thank you for inspiring me to try these looks and get back into wearing makeup! love your work.
love your tutorials.

Wow!! I really admire your work, it has really changed the way that I do my make up and hair too. Thanks so much for all the tutorials, and I really like the highlites.
This is a great back to school look!! xoxo
Hi Marlena,
Firstly, I wanna say how helpful your tutorials have been. Although I’m from Singapore, the alternatives you provide for certain products whose brands are not carried here is superbly helpful. Thank you sooooooooo much! You’re a doll! *mwah*
However, I do need to verify something with you. Regarding the primer for the eyes before eyeshadow. If I recall correctly, you have mentioned before that MAC’s fluidline or paint pot or any “wet” eye shadow (colored or otherwise) can be used as a shadow base before the actual eyeshadow application. Does this mean that I have to still use an eyeshadow base (eg “two-faced” Shadow Insurance, “Benefit” Lemon Aid. etc) before the fluidline/paintpot/etc and shadow application thereafter??
So sorry, I’m a li’l confused here..
hi marlene..umm i have a really small eylid..and i was wondering…if that really makes a difference because i can hardly apply make-up and every time i see a video i try it and it does not work!!!!
great video by the way!!! 
Wish you were around when I was in high school, but so happy to have you now that I’m 30. LOL
I love how much you help me every day! xox
