Absolutely gorgeous! Love love love!
Love this look – I especially adore the blue and how colorful this look is! So very inspiring. Can’t wait to try it out. Thanks for the step by step.
Love this look!!!! it is beautiful and fun.. I love love all your videos. You such an inspiration to me. I have been trying new products and ways to put on my make up.
Thank you so much for your videos..
Crystal
I noticed the shirt and eye color matching a bit ;] I think you did the “matchy-matchy” perfectly where it doesn’t look like too much. it just works
and You’re beautiful Marlena
hahaha! You caught me
I tried not to get too matchy matchy but still have it coordinate
so so beautiful <3
This Look is amazing I love the purples with the blues. You look so amazing now, How did you do your hair it looks awsome!
Thanks everyone for the sweet comments!
Jesica actually did my hair for this- she curled it then pulled to a low side ponytail
I am loving the summer drink series! My favorites so far are tequilla sunrise and berry mojito. I can’t wait for more to come out!
Love the colors so pretty
OMG I love this! It’s super gorgeous!! I’m definitely going to try this soon!
I love all the colours you used!! Such a great look… I can’t wait to try it out!!
Absolutely gorgeous Marlena! How you are well.. (Happy and Heathly
) xx
ooppss meant to type *Hope
Thank you Helen!!
I love this look! You totally nailed it. Do you think you could use the inexpensive alternatives in one of your videos? I definitely can not afford higher end eye shadows, but I’m also weary of buying the alternates because I’m not sure how they look. Thanks!
Yep! The Electric Lemonade Look that’s coming next is done with cheaper products for the most part
I just did this look for work tonight and I duped the MAC colours using my 88 palette and 88 shimmer palette… I was kind of worried it wouldn’t turn out right, but I actually loved it! Super fun and different!
Hi Marlena, please mirrow this one because the german ones can´t watch it on youtube – and we´re craving to do so
Absolutely loved it!!! I just bought beautiful turquoise earring and will definitely try a look inspired by this one
x
Ooh! Turquoise jewelry is really in right now- I need to find me some
hi Marlena i have a friend who make the most gorgeous neckless..earing , you can check her out she is on facebook… under the name Creation Celine Remillard…. all of her work are unique and not expensive at all !!

This look is BEAUTIFUL!!! Can’t wait to try it out! I love colorful eyes and since I have become a “MUG” I have had SO much fun with trying these looks and exploring with different colors.

:)

Beautiful! One of my favorites out of all the looks you’ve done. Love all the vibrant colors.
I love this look. Keep them coming, and thanks for making the world a prettier place. <3
Hi Marlena and MUG Team
What a brilliant series of looks! I am really enjoying the tutorials. I just wanted to ask about getting eyeliner to STAY! I get so frustrated when I look at myself in the middle of the day, and my eyeliner has smudged itself below my lower lash line… it just looks sloppy… I’ve tried packing it with a similar-coloured eyeshadow, but to no avail. Any thoughts? Have a wonderful weekend!
:):)
Hi Maura! This is really tricky- especially during the warmer months. Is your eyeliner in the waterline? This is harder to get it to stay put as this area naturally gets wet from the eyes, but for under the eyes I found the Stila waterproof eyeliners to stay put better than my Urban Decay ones. For the waterline, I can’t really say a perfect method… Liquid liners definitely work, but they come across harsh sometimes
I will definitely have to pick up a Stila eyeliner. Thank you ever so much for your tip! And thank you so much for your tutorials and website. I am such a fan! Hugs to you and everyone on the MUG Team
Have you tried applying just a little bit of primer & a very light layer of your regular powder below your eyeliner? I have the same problem and frustration with my liners. When I apply my primer I use whatever is left on my finger under my eye where I will apply my liner (but not in the waterline). Next I apply my eyeliner and top it with a similar colored eyeshadow (as you do). Finally I put a light layer of regular face powder or matte eye shadow (one that matches my skin color) just below my eyeliner. I make sure it’s a light amount so it doesn’t look cakey. I have oily skin, and by the end of the day my liner still looks good. Good luck!
Beautiful Marlena!!!! I believe that there are some Wet and Wild palettes that I could use….
Yes! Using colors the coloricon palettes “pride” and “Lust” would make for a great look!!
Gah I love it!! I don’t think I could pull it off though, i have such a different eye shape \=
love love love this look been trying to create a bright but not to showy look for the summer would love to see more. one question i know you have cheaper alternative product but have you ever thought a few times alot cheaper lol my friend like to say i have mastered beauty on a budget i have found great shadows primers blushe foundation ant much more from drugstore to dollar stores because i cant shop online and i cant afford mac and all the other really great makeup thers just one thing i have a problem with a concealer ive tried soo many and my dark circle jus keep shinin through do you no of any i would love to pay $5 or less but on a good week i can do $10. keep the beautiful looks comming god bless
I really like the Revlon Colorstay Under Eye Concealer. It is $9.99 at most drugstores but I found it 75% off at CVS
Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!! Bellísima Marlena
Hey marlena , oh my you inspire me so much!
This is such a beautiful mix of colors & i love it so much!
With this look your eyes pop even more
Well just wanted you to know you’ve inspired me so much ive started doing many makeup tutorials but still need to upload soon ? .
Well take care & blessings to you .
Keep doing what you do best.
Love , Lexa <3
my favorite look on you! ^__^ I will be trying this look sometime this week..:)
LOVE IT!!!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!!!
LOVE IT!!!! Your bubbly awesomeness makes my day:)
One of the most beautiful looks you’ve done lately, Marlena! I actually don’t have as many eyeshadows as you used (not even inexpensive alternatives), but I have so much to learn simply from the techniques that you use and from your talent of picking so many colours that end up creating a perfectly unitary look. And I also appreciate that you didn’t hide the fact that it took you quite a little bit of effort and several trials to get that effect. It just shows how much soul you put into your work and how much you respect your viewers. Thank you, Marlena!
That was such a sweet comment- thank you Anatta!
Hi! LOVE THIS! but I wouldn’t wear it… D: OH well
I tried to look up Red Violet on the MAC site, because I don’t have it and I think it’s an awesome color, but it wasn’t there! Dx
Do you know if it was limited or not?
I think its a pro color… But maybe try Satellite Dreams?
Red Violet is PRO… And also discontinued
I found this at my CCO.
Love this look! For me, it’s not too dramatic! It’s PERFECT!
speechless!!! totally amazin and beautiful!! i wish to have your skills to put on makeup!!
absolutely beautiful makeup. congratulations you for all your videos, they are quality and very educational
very nice))) I just tried on my sister got a soup! Thanks for the very best ideas
I love this look. You are right on target with this one. It is beautiful. Thank you for bringing so many lovely looks to us out here in internet land. i love all of your videos. Please don’t ever stop doing what you do. Thank you Marlena and team.
Thanks so much! We try
This is such a pretty look. I will have to search my eyeshadow stash to see if I have enough colours to try this out myself.
Absolutely GORGEOUS!!! Love it!
i love this i did a look just like this in during the winter. these colors a beautiful year round:)
you know what Beautiful lady… this look is more than inspiring to me… it’s fresh reminds me of Cuba…. for their drinks…for the water… for the sunset aswell…. well….. it’s amazing!!! i am so trying this look tomorrow thanks again!!!
LOVE the look. GREAT tutorial. You look great!!!
omg!!! so beautifal i think it look’s better on me. yea it totaly is pretty.i really will go on this website everyday. i love this!!!
Thanks for including showing how to put the little lashes on. I just bought some of those and I am terrified to try them out. Finall the other night I managed to put them on right, but looking at how you did it helped alot. I don’t want to end up looking like a clown. LoL!
Also, great series.
oh yay! Eyelashes are tricky, but once you figure it out, its like riding a bike
This look is amazing!!!! I love how you use all the different purples, and its such a summer look.
I was wondering, for those of us down south (new zealand) you could do a winter look???? I can’t find any cool winter looks, and what I want was warm browns, ambers and auburns, like autumn.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO A WINTER LOOK!!!!!!!!
There are some really pretty looks in the Idea Gallery… Jangsara actually made a really nice one… I believe it is using the Urban Decay ammo palette.
Yayyyyy I can watch it, thank you so much for caring
Aweeeesome marlena.. Couldn’t get better.. Love ur work.. You inspire me..
Love this look so much! You look beautiful.
Hi Marlena,
I love this look! I’m 14 and a huge fan of your website. Is there any inexpensive foundation you could suggest? (not exactly for everyday wear but something to wear often enough) I have pale skin and freckles, I don’t want something to heavy but something that still offers kinda good coverage
thanks x
Hi Anne
My favorite inexpensive foundations are the Revlon Colorstay (this is full coverage so is a little thicker) and Neutrogena Healthy Skin
I went with Marlena’s suggestion of Revlon Colorstay and I am very satisfied. I have rosasea on my cheeks and Tzone and oily skin. I am also very sensitive and this one actually didn’t break me out! It is very waterproof though, so be sure and have a really good cleanser to remove it.
(and anyone still using SOAP on their face (which I was doing until 39 yrs old) do yourself a favor and get a real cleanser. You will finally stop drying out your skin and breaking out. It may take off the makeup, but you aren’t doing yourself any favors.)
Gorgeous…I love it!
Hi Marlena!
I just wanted to let you know that when I go to a tutorial the page sort of “reloads” after a few seconds-the page goes blank then goes right back. I’m not sure if it’s just my computer and it’s not a big deal but I just wanted to let you know
Hope you’re doing well!
Pi?knie, jeden z najpi?kniejszych makija?y jakie tutaj widzia?am
this is one of my favorite tutorials that you’ve created…aquadisiac is amazing in particular with your skin- and eye-tone!
Which brushes do you mostly recommend to have handy?
I actually have a Top 10 Brush post- its under the articles section
I think that will help you get started
Also, how could I leave my eyelids a couple hours later all color are lowered?
Love ALL the tutorials! Would you do a tutorial on how to do your make up when you are having your portrait taken?
Things to think about…
What products to use …
What products to avoid …
Thanks
I agree! Some photo ready makeup would be nice
Love it! Absolutely beautiful! Have some of these Mac colors been discontinued? Could not find all of them on Mac’s website.
Atlantic blue : still available





(similar to fig 1)
Solar white: discontinued
Red violet : discontinued
Pen n pink : discontinued
Aquadisiac: still available
Shockaholoc: discontinued
Indian ink : discontinued
I love your style! Your tops always look so cute and sophisticated! Please tell me where do you shop?
This top I actually got from Macys
This is one of my favorite videos of yours! I am actually quite pleased to see all MAC again. The only thing is, some of those colors do not seem to be permanent! Are there any other MAC shadows you might recommend for this look? Thanks so much for all your hard work, you are so beautiful
I think Satellite Dreams may be still around- not sure about a dupe for Atlantic Blue though
Good thing I have Atlantic Blue already–it’s one of my very favorite shadows, in fact. I think I have Satellite Dreams, too… I’ll give that a try, thanks!
Also wanted to thank you for introducing me to Aquadisiac. I went out and bought it the next day and I’m totally in love with it!
Awesome look! Very cheerful and summery and I LOVE purples and blues. Any chance of giving us some possible dupes from say, Urban Decay since the MAC colors are either LE or d/c’d? I have trouble finding NYX around me but I have access to UD nearby. Thanks!
NYX I have found in Ulta and in small quantities in CVS Pharmacies (they are hidden on an endcap in all the stores) Hope that helps!
hi there you look amaz as always, can you tell me when you will be posting one about eyebrows, would love some tips, love karen xx
This is absolutely beautiful!!!
Hello Marlena!!! this is so far my favorite video!!! I love it! but the only problema is I went on M.A.C web site to buy those eyeshadow and they dont have the colors, only the Atlantic Blue and the Aquadisiac.. wich color you will recommend for to replace those other colors!!! please I am desperate for this look!!
Love you!!
Love this look it is really hot just for summer =-)

Marlena: you’ve out done yourself once again!! I think this look is sooo gorgeous!! I have to say that my favorite is between this and “The Wearable Rainbow”. I’ve worn that one so much & am so excited to try this one out!! Yay! I’ve looked at many other sites/tutorials in the past, but your sweet personality, knowledge/skills & fab sense of humor has definitely exceeded all others, by FAR! I’m for sure a Makeup Geek!

~Jolene~
Waooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! This is absolutly beautiful!!! This is my favorite of this cocktails serie! Waoo I’m gonna try this one tonight!
Hi marlena….I love this look…Can u suggest an inexpensive solar While eyeshadow???….thanx
hi! love the look…wondering where u got your earrings from? theyre lovely!
Amazing! More looks like this please! I love that you used Mac because that is mostly what I have too and is such a popular artistry line. I also love that you used matte shades. I forget about my poor old matte shades some times and this has inspired me big time! My cocktail request-Midori Sour please!
Marlena , I LOVE THIS LOOK SO MUCH.
love it!
wow i love this look! so tropical!!!!
Absolutely gorgeous! Maybe you could do a weekly challenge inspired by cocktails
Hello Marlena, I just wanted to let you kn ow that ‘Indian Ink’ it’s taking me to the ‘Fresh water from MAC’ can you please tell me where I can get the blue gel ink you used on the your bottom eye. Thank you.
This has to be my favourite look
seriously! the blending between the blues and the purples give it a sort of materialistic look.
i am a HUUGE fan btw!
Marlena your skin looks flawless. I have to purchase the Dior loose powder. I have been wanting this product every since you did the review. Also, I have been watching your videos for the last three years now and I feel like I know you. I have learned so much from watching your videos. Keep doing what you are doing and I will certainly keep watching. I like the way you include women of color into your tutorials by making suggestions for us if there is a product that does not work for us. Thank you.
You have such beautiful eyes!
Wore this to work with dark plum shirt and my co-workers LOVED it! They are loving the dramatic eyes, they say.
Thanks Marlena!
p.s. I’m having a hard time finding a primer that works good on oily eyelids, any recommendation? I’ve tried Laura Geller, Spackle (which so far is working better than most), NYX eyelid primer, PrimeTime, Dermalogica…. so far, I’m still creasing by the end of the day, or with spackle, I’m fading even if not creasing. HELP?!
drives me crazy!!!!
fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Marlena,
I do have one problem though. I am VERY allergic to NYC makeup products. I did search out Mac to see if I could still get the products in store but they only had 2 colors that you had listed. On line wasn’t much better, so I was wondering if you could recomend any other alternatives for me please.
I really love this look, well done
Thanks so much,
Tam
I’m obssed with this look! I actually tried it n it was close to it. But the colors are just so beautiful!!!!
Boa Tarde!!!
Olha achei seu site por acaso, mais foi um dos melhores acasos!! rsrsr
Adoro makeup, estou aprendendo novas técnicas. Ontem fiz esta make, ficou MARAVILHOSA!!!! Já adicionei o seu site na minha barra de favoritos.
PARABÉNS pelo dom e CRIATIVIDADE!!!!!
Que Deus a preserve sempre assim!!!!
I love this look it’s so pretty, I love all ur looks you are very creative and well I want to be a makeup artist and I heard that u need to go to just a makeup school and I live in Minnesota and there are just cosmetology schools. Can I be a makeup artist if I go to a cosmetology school?
One of my absolute favorite looks you’ve done. This is so unbelievably gorgeous, Marlena! I totally wore this look for a party tonight and although my shadows weren’t the perfect match to yours I still loved the way it looked! So thank you and I hope all is well, lovely lady! :]
Hi Marlena,
First I want to say how much I love love love your work, your videos are amazing. I think your persona on your videos is very real and for all those that don’t believe so, I feel sorry for them. When someone is doing what they love for a living that comes through when their eyes light up every time they get to talk about what they do. A positive attitude is something to be cheered for not questioned.
The drink inspired looks are my all time favorites. They are so pretty and when people are often afraid of using color in their wardrobe, they can put a little color in their makeup selections.
I would love to see you do a video where first you do half of your face with expensive products and then the other half with the inexpensive products as alternatives. I think this would really show us how you really don’t have to spend a fortune on products while also demonstrating the true difference between drugstore and designer line cosmetics.
Thanks,
Michael in Chicago
Hi Marlena,
I just love this look. I went to try in buy it this weekend, but “Red Violet” and “Pen N Pink” were both limited edition shades. I don’t suppose you have any alternatives you would suggest? Maybe in NYX?
OMG! I just got around to watching the video, though I saw the pictures before hand. I LOVE THIS LOOK SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!! The colors are amazing, and I can’t wait to try this! I am going to have to make a trip to my MAC store to get some of those colors. I think I have dupes somewhere, but I am in love with the colors you used, especially since I have green eyes… I love purple!! AND, I’ll have to say, that I love the fact that you added the part where you apply the lashes… very helpful! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!
i absolutely LOVE this look. probably will never wear it or do it but i’m definitely looking into buying aquadisiac. i just love that shadow.
I love this look! Can’t wait to go buy the eyeshadows to try it. Thanks for continuing to inspire me!f
hi marlena,i would like to ask is this make up good also for my 6 yo daugther because she will be a flower girl.or any suggestion.thanks

I love this one.. you have the most beautiful face Marlena…no matter what kind of makeup you wear, you still look soooo pretty! love you so much. from Florida.
Oh my God, you have the MOST BEAUTIFUL teeth! The makeup is gorgeous, but I cannot stop looking at your teeth!
Hello
i love your makeup
i was going to ask you if you can do a makeup look using Bellapierre products or what do you think of them?
