Marlena, you are perfect!!! I love yours looks!!!
kiss
Marlena, i was wondering if the stila prime pot was good? i have macs painterly paint pot, but i wanted to try something new. do you reccomend it?
I like the stila prime pot a lot
Sometimes more than my beloved painterly paint pot
I really like mine
It doesn’t seem as dry as the MAC paintpots
thanks!!! XD
Marlena I love all of these cocktail tutorials! They are so fun and you are so beautiful! I would love to see an updated face routine video! Your skin is always flawless!
- Jasmine
I second that !! Marlena’s skin has looked sooo good lately;)
I already taped one for you- I’m hoping to post in 2 weeks
Yay!
Thanks Marlena! Would you please show how to modify your face routine when you have a tan. I feel that I don’t need the same coverage as in the fall and winter. Keep doin what your doin!!! So helpful. I finally can put on my false lashes and no one can tell. My friend was shocked when I told her.
I think this might be my favorite look out of your cocktail series!
So pretty!
I appreciate that you explain which brushes to us and how to use them. For me is one of the things that encourage me the most to try the looks. Makes me feel that, even though I don’t have the expertise, I can do it. Thanks so much. *v*
That’s good to know! Thank you
I”ll try to do that for all the vids
I love it! You are such an insiration! Haha, did anyone notice that the Electric Lemonade Kit was in the store before the tutorial?!?
we plan ahead- hehe
You are surely an inspiration Marlena. It’s been a year I regularly visit your website and watch your tutorials, old & new ones, and some of them I must have watched infinite number of times.
As always, this tutorial also was great and you were superb and look gorgeous in all the pictures above!
Thanks so much Eesha!!
I love this look! For those of us with seasonal allergies that give us the dreaded red eyelids would you recommend putting the same skin-toned eyeshadow on the lid area before applying the glitter? Or a base, like NYX jumbo pencils?
I don’t think it’s such a big deal If you use the glitter glue. Eyeshadow wouldn’t help, so maybe a skin toned cream eyeshadow or an eyelid neutralizer? I really like the Mac paint pots
they come in a lot of shades for every skin tone.
Good answer
Thanks! I will definitely try that.
love love love it. Thanks M
hi Marlena!! OMG I also loooove this one!! more more more!! HAHA! can’t wait to try it, YOU inspire me..<3
OMGGG thatss hottt absolutely love it!
Hi Marlena, this is another beautiful look. Lets face it, I’m going to end up getting all of these looks because each of them are so beautiful. Thank you for the .99 cent NYX sale! I got one of the colors that is actually in this look. It was really funny because every time I went to click the check out button something I ordered would sale out. You had to be quick to get what you wanted. But what a great sale, thanks again. Love ya!
hi marlena i love ur vids so much. i really need help with picking out the right foundation for my skin tone. im 16 and just started on putting makeup, have any suggestions for me?
I know that marlena likes revlon color stay for a matte finish, and neutrogena healthy skin for a dewy finish. I personally like revlon photo ready and cover girl nature luxe
both of them are semi matte/medium~buildable coverage. Happy hunting
thank u so much i will try them ASAP!
I looooovvvee this series!!! its such a cool idea!! i love all your tutorials but this one is especially fun
) <3
Love the look! Are you still doing your diet? You look thinner than your other videos
I’m trying to maintain at this point- haven’t lost anything in about 6 months but I have toned up a bit
Awesome!
I LOVE IT!!! YOU’RE A INSPIRATION FOR ME!
Heyho, your cocktail series is so much fun, thanks for sharing.
Please mirror this one, the pictures make me go crazy already
You did it. Could cuddle you right now
Hello sweet Marlena!
You look gorgeous like always!
The foudation brush/pencil from YSL your are using under the eyes in this wonderful video is called Touche Eclat
The picture before you start the video, it almost seems as if you have blue mascara on, really nice.
what do you think!
I have a simple question. When you apply false eyelashes is it easiest to apply mascara before or after the lashes is put on? (I’ve seen your video about inflicting false eyelashes), but it teases me when I put them on and I ruin my makeup every time………
Have a nice day!
I like to apply mascara after because it kinda bonds the false lashes to the normal lashes. Its Aldo easier
Thank you so much, I will try that
Hello Marlena !
Of course, it’s a perfect make up again !
Could you tell me where you bought you earings please ?
Thank’s for your amazing perfection ^^
I don’t know where she bought them, but forever21 has a ton of earrings for really good prices
so go check out their site
Http://www.forever21.com/
Jessiana, do you work/have a featured writing position with makeupgeek.com? You seem to be answering all of the questions that Marlena’s readers are asking her before she has the opportunity to do so.
I LOVE your background. It’s perfect and doesn’t compete with you or tutorial.
MARLENA wow girl you’ve been doing such awesome tutorials I’m loving the bold, colorful looks!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Marlena that is gorgeous. I was wandering if you could do a pink lemonade one that should be beautiful to. Thanks
hi i was wondering if u could give me advice i have just enroled on to home study course with the ics for btec in makeartist level 2 course. Do u think this is a right way to go i am so confused i see make up as art but sometimes feel scard to weather i can do it please help xxx
She has a video on how to become a MUA….. Just search I at the top of the site
I love the new background! I really really liked the professional look of the solid white background but I know that a bunch of people didn’t. This is a great compromise between the two and really looks great!
Hmm…I think I’ll try this with my Nars Rated-R eyeshadow duo.
Great look! Beautiful as ever, I have loved this series of cocktail looks! It inspires me to be more daring. And best of all it will help me get some use out of two very neglected eyeshadows in my collection.
I hope you’ll upload it in vidler soon … Not working for me
NYX!! great job! gorgeous
Hi Marlena, first i have to say that i love these coctail looks they so fun. I also have to ask u, what colors r in your hair it is so pretty, but i can’t tell if u have some reds or coppers or if it is a mix, and also r they just highlights. Please let me know cause i would love to do something like that to my hair. Also i just have to say, bug eyes what bug eyes, u r beautiful what r u talking about. Keep up with these videos love them thanks Mariah
I wish I had eyes like yours!!!
I love the idea of selling the makeup kits !<3
Can we have a purple drink look (violet fiz cocktail) ? Pleease!!! God Bless.
I absolutely love blue on brown eyes!
Marlena, these cocktail looks are really fun and I can’t wait to try them. Just wanted to say that I love love your nails in this video as well
Girl, you look really good – sometimes I’m amazed because you look better than the celebrity example. Plus you have such a naturally beautiful face.
Keep rocking!
I LOVE this look! It is very beautiful and creative! You are so beautiful, Marlena, and so helpful.
Have any of you ever had an issue with Duo glue? I was wearing false lashes using Duo glue everyday a year ago, and my eye lashes stopped growing. They were extremely short and getting holes where lashes weren’t growing in. I stopped putting on false lashes, used Lilash, and they eventually grew back. Have any of you makeup geeks ever had a similar issue? Do you know what I might have been doing wrong?
Thanks!
I know that ever since I’ve been watching her videos (since 2008) she’s bee using it… I’ve heard no complaints from her
plus, she sells It in the the MUG store, and she wouldn’t steer us in the wrong direction
You think maybe I got a couple of bad tubes? I should try it again and see if my lashes stop growing again. Not trying to be a Duo glue hater. I just thought maybe someone else had encountered the same thing and had an answer.
Hi Becky!
As we know there are people they have more sensitive skin then the others and you seem to be one of them. After I read your comment I actually did some research about Duo Glue and have found out the reason why you could experienced such a radical situation with your eyelashes. I found a web site (link below) where some guys are reading labels of cosmetic products and marking them according the amount of chemicals which the products contain. Duo Glue has got a very high score 7, which means it contains some chemicals and according the web site cause the ‘high hazard’ for health. Marlena and some other people are just less sensitive on these chemicals. So try to find something what works better for you. I would recommend to discontinue using this one.

Take care, Karolina
Thanks for doing the research Karolina. It was helpful.
Marlena, I totally love this look! I love it so much that I am wearing it today…and I am wearing it to the office
I have fun with my eyeshadows and all thanks to you. There is really no special occasion for me I don’t go out much so everyday is a special day for me. Thanks for your hard work.
Hi Marlena! I’ve been watching you for a while now and am loving all the looks you come up with. I have a passion for makeup but lack the creativity to come up with such bold looks. I usually take yours and tweak them a bit to work for me and am having a blast! I wanted to say with this look, although I wouldn’t wear this normally, I love it and will be sporting it this football season. I’m in San Diego, a Chargers fan, and these are our colors, blue and yellow/gold, so this look will be perfect and really stand out from all the women who just pack a shade of blue on their eyes. Thanks so much for all you do for us makeup geeks lacking the imagination to come up with these kinds of looks!
not my favorite look but still nice
OMG u should totally do a tutorial for a “meet the parents look” u can help girls who are struggling with their makeup, hair and how they should act when around them. its just a thought
Your beautiful <3

Exquisite beauty!
I love your videos so much! Super glad I found this website. Keep them coming.
I was wondering what is your skin regime? What cleansers, moisturizers, or treatments do you use on your face. I love your flawless skin.
HI MARLENA! I love the tutorials,I couldnt help but to notice your Hair..loooove the color!!! WHAT IS IT?
When are we going to see another vlog? I loved the one about men, sex, and dating! It was hilarious!
Marlena, I love your work. You are so talented! But lately, with the Cocktail Series makeup tutorials, your hair has been getting in the way of your beautiful makeup application, and it is extremely distracting. Will you please pull it back so we can see your amazing work & enjoy the full picture without you having to play with your hair every time you bring a makeup brush to your eye? You’re the best! Thanks for everything you create!! You are truly amazing and inspiring.

Ps – I love your hair colour what shade is it?
