Hey Marlena,
I am from India and this is such a kwel video you got there inspired by the bollywood look ……
I am definitely gonna give it a try .
Thanks .
Marlena you look so beautiful!!!! I love this look its gorgeous!!!!
everything looks fabulous!
by the way, im curious as to whether or not you still use the Bobbi Brown shimmerbricks?
I really do love the shimmerbricks and still have my gold one and apricot
They’re great highlighters! That reminds me to pull them out and use them again…. 
Hi Marlena, I LOVE this color of lipstick on you!!! It is the perfect color for you!
XXXOOOO
Debbie
marlena you look stunning and this look is beautiful
Cannot be viewed from Germany
Hey, Marlena! Hope you’re well!
What video editing programme do you use on these videos?
love DivaGirlyGirl
I use Corel Video Studio 12
hey i love d look and u look stunning but can u also post some makeup tips of bollywood actresses like aishwarya rai or priyanka chopra???
Do you have some good pictures of their makeup that I could look at?
sure i can send u some selected pics…can i have some id on which i can send them?? thanx a lot marlena….ur greattttttttttttttttt
Hi Marlena,
Hey marlena, whenever i wash my brushes they smell like goat’s tail and they also leave a yellow stain on the towel whenever i let them to dry on it……is that ok??? m confused. coz i use normal brushes not the branded ones…and does the lip plumper glosses let your lips to swell for about an hour to make them look gorgeous? what is the actual effect of lip plumpers???? please do answer my questions. thanks a lot! love u girl. as i always say OH Girl! you are so inspiring.
wooh hoooo! another marvellous look. I loved it. I can never have the sleek cheeks like you. I tried to practice the contouring technique a lot but always failed
I’m not sure that the yellow stain is normal…. It almost sounds like a dye is coming out of the brushes?
The lip plumpers are supposed to plump your lips- they’ll tingle some
I’m not sure how long the plumping action lasts, but I know the tingling for me lasts almost an hour
Love this look Marlena – its very timely for me as i am a henna artist and have a festival comming up. will try this look for then!
who did the designs on your hand? are they hand painted or transfers. i really like it, would love a clearer picture
They’re transfers from a kit I got at Borders Books
I want to learn the real thing, but have such little time now day s:(
wow you looks sooo beautiful on you, this arabic make up
very nice pictures, but i cant see it again, please put it an another site and link it to this/your website, thank you
Awww Thank U so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You look Gorgeous!
Can´t see the video again
((((((
what a great look!
You are gorgeous.
I like the stuff (henna tatoos?) on your hands too
Smoooooookin hot!!!! Wow. The pictures are striking! this is my new favorite look on you which I will be trying soon! Thank you soso much for taking the time for this look. I’ll have to do the cheek sculpting technique to get close but girl, you should be on magazine covers! Cant wait for the next one.
Okay, so not an everyday look for me, LoL, but I did like the eyeliner pencil dipped into the gel-liner trick! The total look was very dramatic and beautiful.
Marlena I LOVE THIS LOOK! Do you think I can some colors from the Urban Decay Naked pallette? Also can you list the NYX colors that will be comparable to the MAC eyeshadows?
I am working on the NYX vs MAC list
I love this look
Sooo.. I just showed my mum these pics and she went crazy. She thinks that you are absolutely beautiful with flawless skin!!.. She wants to know how your cheek looks so perfect and unblemished!!!.. Hehe.. And my brother wanted to know who you were too.. And if you were from the same country as we are..
You are sooo beautiful and inspiring.. And you are always so upbeat and positive in your videos!!
There actually are a few blemishes on my cheeks- they’re a bit smaller, but it’s all in using the correct foundation and technique
Hey Marlena…I have the blemish problem too, but I”m curious…what technique are you referring too? Can you explain please
marlena ….i love this look and you look gorgeous .i am from india.i have dark skin.i am looking forward to buy few items from mug store.can you please recommend a highlighter from mug store that will look good on my dark skin tone?
I think you’ll like the Golden Bronze one- golds as highlights on darker skin is beautiful!
loved this look, you look gorgeous, love love love love it!!!!
looks great! i was wondering if you are still continuing in your series of ‘how to become a makeup artist’? i know you are crazy busy, but just wondering if its still on the agenda.
thanks!
yep- it’s still on the agenda as well as the soda series
thanks for the reply! i’m in makeup school right now, and it’s so great! can’t wait to be done and start my new career. thanks so much for your website. it has seriously changed my life!
LOVE IT
)
I love the idea you had of putting the “makeup package” together for purchase in your store! What a great idea…hope there are more sets to come. Since these colors probably aren’t an everyday look, it’s nice to have the option of just buying the samples for a one time look. Thanks for always making everything easy and attainable.
I LOVE this look! PLEAAASSSEE do a series on this type of makeup and/or arabic makeup. The fine detailed eyeliner work seems challenging- it would be nice to hear a tutorial even on detailed eyeliner… thanks ! and great job – you look wonderful!
I love it I love it I love it!!! This look is absolutely gorgeous.
GODDESS MARLENA … Number 69 (extra hot section) please on the menu xx

GODDESS MARLENA
KNEELING before your DEVINE PRESENCE
P.s Dear Goddess may this devoted muggie please ask you for a special tutorial? ive been following the group Evanescence for many years and meet Amy lee the lead singer who is just gorgeous (second to you of course
please think about doing the look in the video .. call me when your sober as i think this portrays her to the upmost! …. just a little thought for tutorial ..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izYIO9VtjUs
Thank you Goddess
I love Amy Lee’s style! I’d love to do her look
I really wanted to like this, but I found this look really tacky and the colors really garish. Yes I know it’s supposed to be a bollywood look but I’m Indian and watch the movies and the makeup is not like that these days, it’s actually alot more classier. Sorry Marlena, I love your videos but not this interpretation;-(
I agree with Rekha! its a 1970′s Bollywood look! Please do a modern bollywood look Marlena….
yeah i love the look…. but it is definitely reminiscent of the 70′s or such
it would be awesome if we could see Katrina, Bebo or Aish’s recent looks here
I love this.
But i second the request on NYX colors… Plz? 
Omg Marlena ! You are absolutely stunning. This is one of my favorite looks on you. The pictures are beautiful as well !
Love this look.. U look so beautful in this picture.. Miss ya coming to Houston Texas..
GORGEOUS!!!
Hey Marlena,
I love your videos and your fun humor! Your videos are really entertaining and I learnt so much already! It’s like watching your favorite soap after work
Unfortunately I cannot see all of your videos lately. I’m from Germany and it says that the video cannot be watched in my country. Is it possible to upload it in another format again? Sometimes two videos are posted and then it usually works with the second one. That would be so great!!!
I’m looking forward to see more videos!
Good luck with everything!
Niki
Hi, Marlena.
You look AMAZING. I love this look!
Hey, I remember you told us that we should NOT use gel eyeliner on the waterlines in the past. So is it OK to use gel? Please let me know. I am learning alot from you. Thank you.
Love,
I don’t usually do it on my clients, but I know my eyes aren’t too sensitive… I haven’t had any problems with it, but check the label on the one you use to see if it’s safe
AMAZING!!! Ive missed you!
My DEAR, can´t watch this in Germany…omg, would like to see it – you look sooo beautiful !!!!
Simply beautiful!!!!!
Very, very nice!!!! I would like to see a tutorial of Leah Remini
You look great…. the makeup, hair, the snake ring (love love love) Gorgeous. Gorgeous… I will try this one, just for fun…
Jenny from Brazil (Brasil in portuguese)
You look beautiful & amazing Marlena! You deserve the best in life…
This is such a great look! I work at a makeup counter and use your tips daily- thank you so much for all that you do!
Great look as usual. I really love how you edit your videos: the quality is always amazing and the music is great. I like the tip with white pencil, will try that.
I also like your ” henna” tattoos
Hi Marlena…
you are amazing…i am from Czech republic and i love your videos…thank you for that…:)
I seriously ADMIRE You and what You’re doing. You are my absolute idol when it comes to makeup. Every single one of Your tutorials is amazing. All the best from Poland

Absolutely stunning!!! I can’t wait to try this!!!
I love this look so very much! I also liked the idea of putting together packages that we can purchase! I would really like it if you did that more often!!!
hi marlena, do you know when are you going to have mac silver dusk in stock?
I’m working on it now
thanks!!
Absolutely gorgeous, as always. Sorry to ask something slightly unrelated, what’s the song in the beginning? I love this kind of music.
It’s called “Lampur” and I bought it from http://www.friendlymusic (dot) com
Hey Marlina please put sum video as to how you do video .. everythign we wana know how you put ur cam which cam you use .. what kind of lighting .. when do you edit.. it will be a really nice video to watch seeing Marlina spending time on her fvrt thing and which is so improtant for us too .. as we get lot of things to know because of your videos.
I can do that
My camera is a Canon Vixia HD camera (I think- I need to look it up), and I use a 3 way light from Target for most of my light. For editing, I use Corel Video Studio 12
Absolutely love this look!! Im so glad you did it….I Bellydance so Im always looking for new ways to wear my makeup and this is beautiful!!! I cant wait to try it!
this is an amazing look i love it so much great job!
you look so pretty! awsome look def gonna try it
I love it!! and i wanna try that.. But I wish Ur Video have Close caption because since im deaf i M very interesting And study and learn from You.
I’ve actually thought of that- it’s in the works for next year sometime along with vids in Spanish.
Vids in spanish? That should be interesting. Either language, I hope you do many more.
Stay awesome!
Love this pink lipgloss – that colour fits you very well !!! And thanks for uploading for your german viewers!!
Hi Marlena!
Great makeup! You look fantastic, as always!
hey marlena can u plz tell me a dupe for mac swiss chocolate and twinks?? i cannot afford mac eyeshadows
Swiss Chocolate is a very dark brown, so any dark brown should do the trick, and twinks- hmm…. NYX’s Gypsy I think is a little close, but I need to swatch it to be sure. Or Violetta by NYX ….
Marlena,
Lovin the make up. Its really dramatic. I’m a bollywood watcher and ur makeup comes very close to bipasha basu. U can google her. She uses her eye liner exactly like how u have. So good job.
OMG this look is beautiful..I just bought the set !!! It also helps that you are beautiful
I am excited to try this look
How cool! Let me know how you like the goodies
The Brash and Bold pigment is bright, so use a little at a time 
I love this look! You look so pretty on the home page
Well …you’re just look pretty in general
you*
marlena, you look stunning!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS. YOU ARE THE MOST HELPFUL YOUTUBE MAKEUP GURU, SERIOUSLY! AND YOU ARE ALSO GORGEOUS AND FUN TO WATCH! THANKS!!!

i absolutely LOOOVE this look!!!!!!!!! ?
Love the look, it so pretty! I can’t find the package you created in your store, is it sold already?
It is, but I’m busting booty this weekend to restock it- I wasn’t expecting it to sell so fast
oh good, i’ll be waiting patienly for it…thanks so much!!!!
Can’t wait till this comes back into stock….I think the kit idea is genius! you may have to add an “let me know when this item is back in stock” sign up bar
absolutely LOVE your work!! aloha ~
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LUV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Marlena, Do u know when you will have more of the bollywood style makeup kit? Btw I love your website.
Hey Marlena!
I see that you use NARS Sheer Glow foundation. Could you write a review on it?
My favorite bollywood actress is Kareena Kapoor! Could you do a makeup tutorial like hers? There aren’t many tuts on Kareena, but quite a few of Aishwarya Rai and Priyanka Chopra. If you like, I’ll enclose a photo!
Thanks!
I would LOVE to see a photo of her- Middle Eastern (Indian, Arab, and Pakistani) looks are my absolute favorite!! I would wear that style everyday if people here would quit staring at me
Be Brave like Julia from MissCheivous!
I sent links to you of Kareena Kapoor. I’ll email it to you now too!
Indians and Pakistanis aren’t Middle Eastern, not even close. South Asians look nothing like Middle Eastern people.
Middle Eastern (Arab Palestinian woman):

@Marlena: Indians and Pakistanis are NOT Middle Eastern…
Oh, and a review is coming on that foundation- I LOVE it!! I mix it with a little Revlon Colorstay= gorgeous!!
Marlena you are truely an amazing artist and I have loved watching all of your videos! You are the main reason I have decided to go to beauty school and pursue my dream of being a makeup artist as well.
You inspire me to follow my dream and I thank you so much for that! Keep on making these wonderful videos girl! 
How exciting!! I hope school goes great for you! When do you start?
Aw thanks so much! Yeah I’m really lookin forward to it
I start school Sept 7th.
Gorgeous as always
Marlena- Could you please tell me the song that you use at the beginning of the video? I really like it.
Btw, TOTALLY love the look and I’m gonna try it this weekend
It’s called “Lampur” and it’s from friendlymusic (dot) com
Hi!!! I love this look it’s beautiful… Marlena i have 2 quick questions, for contouring my face which is better and easier to use an angle blush brush or mac’s 109 contouring brush? And which is better contouring with powder or cream (concealer) please answer my questions I really want to learn how to contour my face. Thanks
P.S I love all your looks and you’ve been a great help and inspire to me =)
You know- they both work pretty well so I’d say either one… I’ve been liking the 109 lately as it gets up under my cheekbones, but if your cheekbones don’t stand out much, then I think the angled one would work.
Cream looks more natural for contouring, but it can be a little more time consuming to do (at least for me). If you can get down the cream contour, I really think you’ll like the results
HI marlena,
i was wondering if you could do a cut crease tutorial? perfably 70ish makeup? that would so rock.
<3 you! u inspire me..
Ive lost 10 lbs! and doing good
I’m actually doing a series in September for historical makeup, so yep- that will be on there
And you go girl on the 10 pounds lost!!! WOOHOO!! I’ve been on a plateau for a good 3 months now, so I’m hoping to get 10 pounds off by September- gotta keep trying
Omg you are so beautiful Marlena
Hi Marlena! Love, love, love the look! You look amazing! I just had a few questions for you what kind of camera do you use to take your pictures and what is the name of the song you used in the video? Thank you in advance! =)
Really pretty…!~..Any reason why the comments have been disabled for the actual video on YouTube..?…Were there haters..or something..just curious..
Btw…loving the hair!!~
I totally love this look, with my small eyes and that I’m not good at using liquid liner (kind goes everywhere if I’m having a bad luck day) I’m not sure I could pull off this look, but I’d really like to try it someday anyway, Love the photos too great work Marlena and Taryn I wonder if i could do a toned down look as in less liquid liner lol
Luv mel
Hi Marlena!
Great tutorial…very unique.
Question – when using pigments – is it easier to use all pigments on the eye (lid, crease, outer V)…or can you use a pigment on the lid and then an eyeshadow in the crease. I find when I use both that it is hard to blend…
Kristen
Hey!!!!
I love all your looks!!! But i am starting my first year of High school. I was wondering if you could do another Back to School demos???
W/ <3 & Prayers,
Jessee

The only trouble is i cannot find the mac pigment colours on the UK mac website. Are these new colours that will be released in the UK soon? if so then thats ok as my wedding is not until next yr. Please let me know. Thank-you
Hi Marlena,
Thanks for this as i did request a bollywood inspired video. I think you did amazing and i must say you look very beautiful. I feel like you have given me inspiration to pursue my dream in make-up. I also like to thank you for all your efforts by giving us all information in regards with your tuorials. Great work.

Hey, you no longer have the set available online anymore…when are you going to have it stock?
The pics of this look are so pretty!
i absolutely love your looks and that this one comes with a package set are there going to be more sets for the other looks?
hey marlena!!! share some secrets on how to keep hair shiny and healthy looking like yours
This is one of your best looks (and I’ve looked at pretty much all of your videos) , cant wait to do it. Id also say it really really suits you. You have great coloring so it seems you can pull off a lot of different looks. Thanks

hey, i was wondering where you get your music from for the beginning intro of the video, and also the background images. i really like the paisley pink design. please let me know where i can find this image!
Hi Marlena! I love all of your videos! They’re always great! I had a question about eyeliner. I wanted to know if you have any tips for me on how to keep my eyeliner from smudging when I put it in my tear duct. It seems to always smear at some point of the night whenever I do it there. I would really appreciate your advice.
Thank you for all of your help, can’t wait for more videos!
Hi Marlena!
I absolutely love this look….I never tried something like this, but I’m gonna give it a whirl. What color blushes from nyx/mac would be good for tan complexions? Some of the blushes you use don’t show up on me.. 
I just love this look!! Its amazing! I just have one question. What is the name of the song? I tired looking for it but cant seem to find it. Thanks Marlena!
Hi Marlena. I love this tutorial. I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on Nicole Scherzinger’s makeup from her music video Jai Ho. Here is the link to the pitcture. It’s a long link I know haha:
http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://i43.tinypic.com/f5cbyd.jpg&imgrefurl=http://picsdigger.com/domain/allyoulike.com/&usg=__w47pYR8K7dj4J504f7Di0mc07Jw=&h=294&w=500&sz=38&hl=en&start=0&tbnid=nodHWNQVjnqCsM:&tbnh=134&tbnw=166&prev=/images%3Fq%3DNicole%2Bscherzinger%2Bjai%2Bho%2Bmakeup%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dhp%26sa%3DN%26rlz%3D1R2ADFA_enUS375%26biw%3D1345%26bih%3D394%26tbs%3Disch:10%2C96&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=1026&vpy=125&dur=4884&hovh=172&hovw=293&tx=68&ty=197&ei=5mBlTJX1HMX6lwefg5CTDg&oei=5mBlTJX1HMX6lwefg5CTDg&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:14,s:0&biw=1345&bih=394
And here is the music video if this will help any: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc5OyXmHD0w
