Hi Marlena!
This look is amazing! I was wondering, is there a MAC alternative (other than the solar bits) to Urban Decay’s Gridlock?
Thanks!!

Marlena, this is gorgeous. You look incredible in bright lip colors.
love the idea about candy inspired makeup
this look is great as usual!
second photo is so cute
Found your site through youtube and I am obsessed!! My almost 17 yr old daughter had always been a tom-boy but now has started to dress a little more girly and even fixing her hair. Could you suggest some things for her to try with her eyes that don’t take much time and look kind of natural? I’m sure she doesn’t want her makeup to be the first thing people notice when they see her but I think she is ready to look more put together. Thanks for any suggestions you might have.
hey, it’s great everything you know and teach
thanks for this one i was looking for something that can be used daily!!!!!
thx!!!
I love it! Are you wearing extensions?
Marlena- I just love your looks. This is soooo dang pretty! As are you! Please keep them coming. The candy inspired looks are just so artistic.

Love the casual style yet keeping it super sexy. Looks beautiful on you. I’m loving the series!
hey marlena- you are so creative.
i was wondering if you could please do a Prom makeup tutorial?
i am doing my sisters makeup and i would like some ideas.
her dress is teal, but anything will work. thanks
Marlena you look so beautiful with long hair!!
Marlena, you never fail to impress! I have become so inspired and my application and blending techniques have improved because of watching your tutorials!
thank you sooooo much!
Marlena-you are a gem. This look is very pretty! You teach so well. I admire all you do. I’m so hooked on your site. Keep of the fanastic work! I have bee doing my makeup every day when you look good you also feel good. Thanks a million!
Yay! For the first time, I actually have all the products you used so now I really can’t wait to try out this look. I love that it is such a daytime wearable look but still packs some punch. Gorgeous! I hope i’m looking as good when i’m done. Thanks again for the tut!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this look! I am addicted to your site! And I went on a shopping spree through Sephora and MAC. (husband may leave me when he finds out what I spent….lol) My daughter and I have used a ton of your tips\techniques and looks. Keep em comin’. WE LOVE YOU!!!!
I’m a guy who couldn’t care less about make-up, but I haven’t missed an ep since I discovered this. I love how Marlena turns an already gorgeous face into a work of art! Just beautiful
(I LOVE that Superchick song!)
Marlena, this might be one of my favorite looks you’ve done. Very everyday – but still somehow dramatic. Gloriously pretty!! I am getting into Urban Decay’s products more and more.
I am a 40+ woman and I am learning with you how to apply makeup different than what I have been doing for ages. Thanks to you I am inspired to try new looks, new makeup lines and most of all I am feel great doing so. The results are I feel younger, look great and it gives me that extra much needed boost. So keep up doing what you do. You are a great at teaching, creative and giving. I am your fan. THANKS.
My Favorite look
OHHHH Marlena what are you doing to me? You keep doing these candy inspired looks as I am trying to lose some weight for my vacation. This look really reminds me of Turkish Delight choc bar we have here in UK and also Raspberry Ruffles.
Will definitely give this a try at some point. Seems like forever since I played with my makeup.
Okay, so I tried the look today to wear to work & it was sooo easy & looks so pretty. I was thrilled when my co-worker commented on it as it made me feel like it wasn’t just me thinking it looked nice. You put together a great combination that worked amazingly with my brown eyes. Thank you, thank you, thank you! A look I will definitely be wearing again & again
I love all of your looks but this one is my favorite. Gorgeous!!! it’s an everyday look and it’s sexy! GREAT JOB AS USUAL!!

This is my most favorite look so far!! Love it! Super fun, punchy colors, totally summery and ultra feminine!! Thanks!!
hi! Everything is I like one so so beautiful candy good job! thanks for the videos
Marlena,
This look is awesome and I decided to try it. As we do not have Urband Decay, I chose the following MAC e/s: Jest, Tempting, Bark and Next to Nothing. I hope, that this comes similar to the e/s you had been taken. I loved the final result, very good for daytime and with a black eyeliner nice for evenings, too.
Thanks a lot!
Love this look, specially for the day. It is simple, not too many steps. I think I can pull it off really easy.
I must admit that although I have used lipliners all my adult life, I have kept them aside for a while. The way this NYX pencil looked on you, w/o the beige gloss was amazing…with the blush, ASTONISHING!!!
I meant that the lips with the lipgloss, ‘not the blush’…ha ha
I love this look soooo much!!!
i love this look!!!
