SO pretty! I love Posietint, great choice.
im getting married in 2 weeks … im wearing a white dress that has silver in it…please help!!!!!!!!!! i want to wear silver eyeshadow but i dont want it to be so drastic, please help
You make a beautiful bride!
This is the second time I’ve seen that palette used for bridal makeup! This is a stunning look! I’ll be getting married in about a year and a half, so I must pick up this palette! Beautiful look! xoxo
Hmmm I have the naked pigment. I am going to use Mac wedge in crease or maybe era. I have mac rich purple. Any Mac or Nyx recs for that warm brown?
Thanks so much
Michele
I just saw post below. Nevermind
You look stunning Marlena! You make one BEAUTIFUL bride. =)
Great video Marlena!!! You are sooooooooooooo gorgeous!!! I love all your tutorials and always looking forward for the next ones!!! Could you possibly make an eyebrow tutorial???
Yes, I do plan on doing a brow tutorial soon
The brow tut would be very helpful, I seem to never get it right.
please i want that too
my eyebrow hair is to thin that look like i dont have any eyebrows like mona lisa
it’s run in the family and i dont know what to do with them
thanks for all the tutorial marlena
I love u<3<3<3
Great tutorial! Wish I wasn’t already married, now I would’ve rather-ed doing my own make-up now then having the shady job I had on my day!
Ooohhhh, you look so pretty, I love this look, l love all your looks. You really do make a beautiful bride.
you look beautiful. I what can I do for Large pores?
I suggest an astringent that’s a toner and pore refiner. If you have oily or normal to oily, then a little more work is needed. I’d suggest when you wash your makeup off at night, to use a foaming cleanser, a gentle exfoliater(never use an apricot scrub, they do more harm than help), use the astringent, and an oil free, moisturizer just in dry spots. It probably won’t eliminate the largeness but it will tone it down a lot so it’s easier to hide with makeup.
VERY good advice!
I have large pores as well and the best thing I found is Bare Escentuals RareMinerals purifying facial cleanser it has active soil complex in it which is clinically proven to shrink the actual pore size. You can purchase a QVC.com
Did you read my mind? I am getting married in 2 months and I was just wishing that you’d do something for my big day. Thank you a million times!
Can you post some dupes for the eyeshadows you used from the neutral palette? This is a really pretty look.
For MAC, I would say Wedge or Cork (if you’re fair, go with Wedge), Espresso, Beauty Marked
Gorgeous, as ALWAYS! I absolutely love your work!!! I think I’m more addicted to your tutorials than the makeup itself… LOL, j/k. I will definitely be getting this palette. Thank you for all you do Marlena! :0)
I also have a question…. I know you didn’t use them in this tutorial, but I’m new to the falsies; are they a single use product, or can you reuse them? I avoided them in the past because I was told that you shouldn’t wear them; because they pull out your real lashes, and that isn’t a good thing. But you use them and your real lashes look great! So I’m a bit confused?? I would greatly appreciate any advice that you could give, as I know how busy you must be. >:0) Thanks in advance!!! You are simply the best!!!
False lashes work really well, but are hard to apply when you’re first starting out. BUT, I would start with half lashes like Ardell’s #301 or #305 as they’re much easier to put on.
You can reuse them- you need to gentle wash in warm water and a little eye makeup remover, then peel off the glue and lay flat to dry. Don’t worry about pulling off your lashes as long as you use eye makeup remover and warm water, it’ll loosen the glue right up
PERFECT!!! I will try it! Thanks again Marlena!
Where can we find the Model in a Bottle (I can’t seem to find it).
Also, do you prefer Model in a Bottle over Fix Plus as a finishing spray? I want to add a finishing spray to my routine, but now I’m not sure which one. Hmm……. LOL LOVE this video!!! You’re breathtaking!
I’m an idiot. You’ve listed it right there-Amazon/E-bay. So sorry!
MAC Fix plus is perfect for getting rid of the powdery look- it gives you more of that “dewy glow”
Model in a Bottle is a setting spray to make makeup last longer and be almost sweat/water proof
hi marlena. i really loooved all of your tutorial videos. beautiful and stunning as ever. =) i would really appreciate it if u could give me some pointers or put a tutorial video for me. =) I’m attending a wedding next month. (aug.) and i’m one of the bridesmaid. it’s an out of town wedding and i really haven’t been into that place. and i really dont have much time to like go around the area and look for a make up artist just to do my make uo and hair too. it would really mean much if could put a video tutorial. thanks =) AND ygod bless and more power to u! =) ooppss. we’re wearing like a tangerine dress.. =) thanks much
I actually think this look would work really well- since your dress is colorful, it’d be good to do a neutral look so it doesn’t compete with your dress. To make your face pop, wear a peach cheek and coral or peachy pink lip
hi marlena. i really looved all ur videos. beautiful and stunning as ever. i was just wondering if you could put a tutorial videos or some pointers for me. =) i\the thing is i’m attending a wedding next month (aug.) and it’s out of town.i’m one of the briedsmaid i really dont have much time to go around the place just to look for a make up artist. and i know for sure that the bride would be busy and im kinda shame to ask around. it would really mean so much if you could. thanks much. ogd bless and more power to you. (and opps, will be wearing a tangerine dress =)
you’re soooo pretty! I luvvv the picyures!
Marlena has your account been hack? A lot of these lately. Like Michelle phan and Bubz. Quickly put a stop to it. Some freak is just too free.
Mine has been fine so far- hopefully this doesn’t jinx it!
Hey Marlena, i loved this look and i just would like to know something. My mother is getting married soon and i was wondering what colors should i use because my mom has a mocha brown skin tone . Well thank you for reading!!!! La’ShaY
I would do this same idea but make the colors darker- instead of dark brown for the outer V, use black and for the lid go with a shimmery tan or even light gold color. I like mac’s pigment in Tan on the lid
Marlena!
Such a beautiful bridal look! Good work! 2 videos in 2 days! Keep it like that!
By the way, I’m just curious, please don’t mind: Are you getting married?
No, Marlena is not getting Married.
such a pretty look, im suppose to do my friends makeup next weekend i may consider this look.. i also did another of my friends makeup for her wedding about a month ago and i used, MAC vanilla on the lid, MAC hypnotizing on the crease and MAC espresso on the outer v, it looked so pretty.. thanks for the tip!
I love this tutorial, you look so beautiful! The makeup is flawless!
You are so beautiful Marlena! Thanks again for the beautiful tutorial! I love the look, and even though I’m not getting married anytime soon (lol) I’ll still try this look because it is so elegant and pretty! You are the best!
Hey Marlena, have a question? Do you take these pictures yourself or do you have someone else to take them for you? Love it…
These pictures were taken by Taryn- she’s now part of the MUG staff
Thank you so much Marlene for the tutorials…….and you are such an insipiration…….God bless you
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L = YOU
You never cease to amaze me!
marlena…you look awesome!!! good work
Oh My God! .. this is so nice .. well here in the middle east this is probably only the introduction cos they LOVE to put ALOT of make-up on the wedding days :S .. But i love this
Hi Marlena!
Yesterday I wanted to ask you, if can do a bridal look! And today in the morning I saw this video!!! Your perfect girl!!! Have a nice day
Posietint is probably one of a very few products by Benefit that I still don’t have but now I will be sure to get it. But I have benetint and I really like the effect it gives on the eyes and cheeks.
And you look gorgeous, but there is no need to say that
What other Benefit products do you like? I have a few blushes, but haven’t tried much else yet…
I really love creaseless cream shadows (the best cream eye shadows ever) velvet eye shadows, Holla bronzer, lip glosses and lipsticks. I also like Benetint and Highbeam.
Hi Marlena!
I absolutely love it! Makes me wanna get married xD
Kidding!
But I love this look, it’s clean and fresh. It’s beautiful
This is great, and I feel like its christmas time, we get 2 videos in a week? I have a question- I notice that you dont put primer under the lower eye, will the makeup still last? I began using face, eye and lip primer after learning from you as well as the fix plus spray because I really needed that staying power. This is a beautiful look, thank you!!
If your skin is oily, I would say to put primer under the lower lashes also- I just don’t as I have major problems with makeup caking up under my eyes, so I try not to put too much on under there
Beautiful as always.. but since i’m married i will use the look for some special occasions ..lol ??? take care
looks great! would you use false lashes on a bride?
I would if her lashes were sparse or short- I usually use single lashes or Ardell’s Demi Luvies
Marlena,
Your tutorial was fantastic as always!
Please tell me:
Do all these setting face sprays really work?
And if yes, which ones are the best to buy?
The one you used “model in a bottle”, I wasn’t aware of.
I also don’t think that I can find it, as I do not live in the US.
Wait for your reply. Thank you in advance.
Love, Maria
Hi Maria,
If you want your skin to have a dewy glow, then get MAC’s fix plus
If you have oily skin and/or need your makeup to last a really long time, then get Model in a Bottle
All the other setting sprays out there work similarly to these- if you can’t find Model in a Bottle, then get Urban Decay’s All Nighter
i really want to buy products from MUG but the main problem is i’m here in Japan… i wish i could order from here and you can send it to me here….=(
We ship to Japan
wow, the eyes are basically the same look i do every single day. its a beautiful look and you look beautiful marlena! fantastic, i wish you could be the one doing my make up for my wedding day
thanks for the tutorial
)
I have been waiting for this
This is a GORGEOUS look!
Marlena,
Could you recommend other great brands of tints?
Do you mean for the lip color? I like Josie Maran’s lipstains, Palladio’s lipstains, and even a couple of the Tarte ones
Is the palette available in stores? This was very timely as I am doing makeup for a bride in a week but won’t be able to order from you to have it here in time (I am in Canada and stuff gets hung up at customs). If there’s a store I can buy this in, can you email me and let me know? Thanks!!
I wish I knew… maybe post this in the forum to see if any of the other mugs know of a place in Canada that has them?
You’re beautiful, who’s the lucky fella, lol. Love the look very classy and timeless.
Thank you so much sweetie!!
Did she actually get married?! =)
Not yet
Not ready for the 2nd marriage for awhile
Love your videos…..I wish you do this video tutorial a year back when I got married….
you’re soooo pretty! I luvvv the picyures
Marlena,
I loved the tutorial
can you recommend which MAC eye shadows are substitutes for the colors on the 28 palette that you used on the video?
thanks
This is just stunning, Marlena. You look so beautiful!! I think the look would be a great everyday look too (minus the veil and wedding dress, haha). I think I want the Naked pigment now… it’s so pretty! What NYX or MAC eyeshadows do you think would work for this look?
Marlena,
You cease to amaze me! You make a beautiful bride. I love how you simplify such a gorgeous look and make it reproducable to everyone. I’m definitely going to try this look on my sister-in-law- she is getting married in two weeks and I think that she’ll look beautiful in this look.
Btw, love your hairstyle so much. Thanks for the amazing videos- can’t wait to see more of your magic!
Hey Marlena! I noticed the other day in a drugstore that Revlon has a foundation primer. It looks a lot like the MAC Mattifying Gel, and the tester made my skin very smooth. However, I have never tried the MAC gel and I’m wondering how it compares. Have you tried the Revlon? I only ask because it was on sale for $10, which appeals to my budget
Thanks for the fabulous videos!
If I can be any help, I currently use 2 primers from Revlon (not at the same time) one I believe is called Beyond Natural, its clear and has the consistancy of silicone. I like this one when I use mineral foundation. The other is Age Defying which has a white, slightly creamy texture, which I use with liquid foundation. Ive never used a mac primer, but for the price, I cant imagine theres much difference. the clear one is similar to Smashbox. Hope this helps, and I’d also like Marlenas input
Thanks for the reply! The clear one is the one I’m talking about. I guess I’ll give it a try
hello! MARLENA UR LOVELY:) loads of love forrrrrr u,keep it up.
Thank you Marlena for all of your great advice! I wish I would have learned your techniques years ago. Anyway, I’m also wondering if you have any other lip tint suggestions? Been trying to find a good one for years, and no luck yet.
I’m also waiting on an eyebrow tutorial (not that you aren’t busy enough). Someone mentioned razoring? What is that and how is it done?
For other lip stains, I really like the Palladio ones and Josie Maran (from sephora) ones. The Tarte ones are pretty, but I’m not sure how much they actually stain.
And for brows, I REALLY don’t recommend razoring- if it’s what I’m thinking of, some people shave them then draw back on- doesn’t look natural at all….
I’ll do a brow vid in the near future
Love this! Could you offer any drugstore dupes for the products (especially eye products) used for this look? I am doing my sister-in-law’s makeup for her wedding next May and this was very helpful! Thanks so much! Thank you!!
I really like Loreal HIP’s shadows, and you need basically these colors:
-shimmery champagne
-medium brown
-dark brown
-dark plum/purple
It seems that it might be possible to do this look with the Naked palette by Urban Decay…can you list the colors that you would use from that palette for this look?
Thanks!
I would use Buck, Virgin or Sin on the lid, Hustle, and Creep
Great Video, I love the look!! Could you maybe do a eyebrow tutorial!!! Thanks
This one was super super gorgeous bridal look Marlena. Love your work..
Hi!
Please help me, how much difference is there between pigment colors Naked and Provence. I do not have Naked but I do have Provence. So I thought of using Provence instead of Naked for this lovely look.
Provence will work- it’s a pretty color also

And, the divorce makeup is a fantastic idea!!! “Makeup to catch a man”
Marlena!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi again!
I’ve been thinking about this lately and I’m sure it’s ok to suggest something. Sometimes, when you do such complete looks, I read all your product list that you used on the look and…I think it’s important that, sometimes, you do the entire look, I mean, starting with the face. Specially cause, from time to time, you change the products that you’re using.
Now, not a suggestion but a question. I’ve been desperately looking for a portuguese Mary Kay Consultant and I can’t find one. I really want to try some of their product cause I want to find the right product for my face issues (I’m only 22 and I have 2 wrinkles and some black and white spots). And also cause Mary Kay isn’t that popular around here, specially where I live and I wanted to try to be a Consultant.
Do you think you could help me finding one or help me in some other way?
Thanks *
That is a good idea
I do plan on reviewing some of the new face products I’ve been using- am hoping to tape that today actually, so it’ll be up this week or next.
For Mary Kay, I wish I knew of someone to recommend, but your best bet is to go to the Mary Kay site and do a search on there for someone in your area
I’ve already done that and I couldn’t find anyone. I’m about to quit cause I can’t find a portuguese consultant.
I really wanted to try Mary Kay products but i’m afraid i won’t.
Thanks anyway! Can’t wait for those videos

Sara, where’s the number from a mary kay consultant: 00351919302050. her name is dulce.
(by the way, i’m portuguese)
Where do you live? I may know Mary Kay consultants that speak Portuguese. Eu falo Portugues se voce precisar de ajuda.

Hi Marlena
I love all your tutorials and I really like this one for an everyday look..Can you give me any Bare Escentuals eyecolors that are close to the Mac colors used.. Keep up all the great work..
Shawn
Let me come back to this one- I need to pull out my BE shadows and see
Hi,
Great look! Would you be able to post a what colors you used in the 28 Palette; picture of the palette with circles around the colors maybe? Thanks!
FYI, to those asking about an upcoming wedding, I believe Marlena is already married. I remember her mentioning her husband in one of her tutorials, and maybe he was the one in one of her older pics.
Hi Marlena,
thank you so much. I absolutely love your make up ideas.
I was wondering what concealer and foundation you would recomend for a fair skin type, with red areas on the face and a couple of pimples. I am looking for maximum coverage without looking too cakey. either it be a liquid or powder doesnt matter to me, just looking for a great coverage to make my skin look even and beautiful
Sarah
Hi there,
WOW. This is a stunning look. I love it.
Thanks for the great tutorial.
Have an awesome day.

Hi Marlena, I LOOOVE your tutorials. Plus I think your’re beautiful… anyway, I bought the gel liner from costal scents and it began to dry up. Are there any tricks or anything I can do to avoid this?
Thx!
Hi Marlena, You look sooo great. Thanks for all the great tips!! U rock!!!
This is great ! So helpful
I like the idea of adding purple eyeshadow… great touch
What a gorgeous look! Love your work, Marlena
) xx
Hey Marlena! I love your videos and was wondering if you could do something for school pictures. Thanks Lovely!! <3
Absolutely beautiful beautiful. I am trying to purchase many of your products but you have many out of stock. When are you going to restock? Please restock soon I really need them.
I love this! you look great! I’m new to makeup so trying out just the neutrals in the meantime. Speaking of, why are there so many “brands” 28-palette neutrals? who makes these? are they all of the same quality. they certainly look the same as all others. there are several sellers here in the Philippines who put their brand in the palette. and i’m wondering if they’re the same palette you guys have over there (I mean if they are from the same makers).
hey i love d look….stunnig bride i must say
i just sent u pics on facebook…check them out and let me knw if u will do a special on bollywood actor….actually i am anxious whether u will like it or nt so let me knw
Heey there

What brush did you use for the gel liner, i have the bobbi brown black gel liner and that would be the perfect brush for it
thankyoouu xxxx
Shes uses the Sonia Kashuk bent angled eyeliner brush. You can get it at Target.
Since I´m watching your tutorials/trying out new looks, I get much more self-confident !!! You helped and still help me so much!
Great tutorial Marlena, as always…Can’t wait for that eyebrow tutorial though…plz do that one asap…lol
This is a very beautiful look, Marlena. I love your looks and videos. I was wondering if you were going to finish the soda series? I really love the two looks that you did.
Fantastic and so simple make-up!
But…, all photographers I know claim – no sparkles, no pearl, no shimmer on a face of a bride. Satin eyeshadows only. What you think about that rule? You used shiny Mac pigment – and it looks lovely on photos, although I can see tiny, white dots on your eyelids.
Good job, I LOVE the look, but how was the hair done? Was it 1,5inch curling iron??
I love this tutorial I also bought the Naked Palette and it has the greatest colors. I love this palette.
My eyes water a LOT so every time I put on liner or what not, it always ends up running down my face, especially when I’m outside. I’m getting married in a few weeks and I need help with keeping my eyeshadow/liner in place. Do you have any tips so I don’t look like I’ve been crying?
You are an inspiring professional! Keep up the great job, you definitely inspire and motivate us makeup geeks. YOU ROCK!
Hey Marlena,
I love this make up look. It is absolutely stunning. I do have a question though: your ring is GORGEOUS! Where did you get it?
Thanks a bunch!
Rana
Hi! I am engaged & was looking to have a great makeup day when I take engagement pictures
!!! I was wondering what primer you would recommend…..the Mac that you have listed with this tutorial or the Monistat chafing gel???? How much do you use of the Mac & about how long would you say it lasted?? I wouldn’t mind spending the money on the Mac but I want it to really be worth it bc I have large pores & my skin gets pretty oily. PS I love the Revlon colorstay (but you may want to try the Maybelline superstay too…it might be a little better) I really look forward to hearing your opinion & thanks in advance!
What music did you use in the background? It was beautiful!
is the model in the bottle same as mac’s fix +?
I loved the makeup and it certainly will be used on a friend who will marry next week.
You’re my inspiration!
One more thing …. Tell me how you can make the eyes look so perfect? You could make a special tutorial for eyes, telling us how to use some brushes and what they are after all…
Could you help us?
Great tutorial Marlena. The colors are beautiful on a bride in your complexion range.
She has tutorials for brushes and almost everything else for that matter. Just go back and look at older videos. She rocks. Hope this helps
I’m here…again!
I was waiting for some new tutorials just to “distribute” my doubts and don’t bother you with so many questions.
But recently I found an online store that sells NYX’s with such good prices (can’t tell how happy I am) and I just ordered NYX Round Lipstick “Ceto”.
Could you give me your feedback about this specific color?
beautiful.. my sister is getting married next month an i will be doing this look for her wedding.. do u know when you will have the 28 neutral palette back in stock.. I was gonna order but its out??
Hi Marlena,
I recently got married and I used a ton of your tutorials to do my own makeup, I looked and felt so beautiful! I got so many compliments, everyone thought I had my makeup professionally done! Thank you so much, Ive learned so much!
Christina in Seattle
i have a question, is model in a bottle better than urban decays all nighter spray? im thinking about getting one but not sure which one. i would just love to know your opinion.thanks
Hello!!!! My name is Deborah and I would like to know what your website and if you have any on youtube.Thank you
Hi Marlena,
First id like to say that i love all your tutorials you do a great job
I think this particular tutorial is great. Its simple and elegent. I was just wondering, in your pictures it looks like you have a touch of orange on your eyes, but i didnt see you use anything orange in the tutorial. Am i just crazy lol
I really wonder what your skincare routine looks like.. it seems that any kind of foundation works flawless on you!
I want to purchase the neutral Palette I beleive is 28 eyeshadows. When are you planning to bring it back? I want to order what I need for this tutorial. Thanks
I have a Question.. I am looking into getting some kind of Mineral Makeup & Im not sure if there is any difference between Bare Minerals Or bare Essentials?? I am currently using Revlon Foundation to cover up Redness & mild Acne, Im wondering if Mineral makeup has as good of a Coverage for my type of skin?? Im also Very Dry if I dont Moisturize.. HELP I Need Some Advise! ThanX! great Tutorial by the way! Love IT!
Marlena, absolutely loving your site! Only discovered it a month ago and I’m HOOKED!
xxx
Just an extra tip to anybody doing bridal make up would be to use MAC strobe cream on the cheekbone and bridge of the nose, moisturises and gives a lovely shimmer all day!
LOVE FROM IRELAND
wow, you are so much cute there , i like ur all Tutorial its modern and easy,but I have a Question,
its about ur eyeliner what kind are you used there in this show?!!
plzzzzzz
Hey Marlena!
I love your website, I’ve been watching your videos for a little over a year now, and I’m so grateful that you share your expertise with us in such a user-friendly way. In short, You Rock!
I do have a question, however, I looked up the MAC Silver dusk and naked pigment in the store, and both are sold out. Do you know if you’ll be adding more anytime soon? Because I have 2 weddings I’m attending in October, and would LOVE to work this look. If not, are they any good substitutes, or places I can get these colors? Thank you!!
p.s. please don’t ever stop what you’re doing. Lots of love. Xoxo
this is absolutely gorgeous!!!]
:):)
i am going to my cousins wedding soon and would loveee some makeup ideas (colours and such).
my dress is hot pink and i have blueish…grey eyes.

ps-your hair looks really good in this video!
xoxoxoxo

OMG!!! I Love, love, love this look. I am no way getting married, have been for 23 years. This is such a pretty look for everyday. You are such a beautiful young woman. Thanks for all of the tuts. P.S. When are you going to do some more seminars in Texas? South Texas would love to have you.
Hi gorgeous! I was just curious what hair color you have in your hair? Is that the straight Chocolate brown? Love it! Thanks hun, Natalie
MARLENA!!!!!!! You have saved my life!!! LOL I’ve been looking for ideas for brides for months and this is PERFECT!!!! I’m doing my cousin’s wife-to-be’s makeup in October and this is so perfect because it’s really universal. I’m so excited! I just have one question (I know your super busy so whenever you can get back to me I’d appreciate it.) my cousin’s wife-to-be has mono-lid eyes so I wanted to know if I needed to make any adjustments for this look? Your mono-lid video you did a while back is very helpful but since this is for a bride if there’s any extra pointers you could give me I’d really appreciate it. Thanks for making such awesome videos and keep up the good work!! You inspire me!

Hi Marlena,
I have been watching for a tutorial on how to handle freckles. I have lots of freckles on my face and uneven skin tones,, and oily skin. What do you recommend for foundation coverage. I have to have something just not sure if I should be doing things differently. I love your site. You are amazing and I can’t help but keep coming back.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hi Marlena!
OMG! I love this look so much! I tried it out today and it looked great! It was super easy too. Thanks so much x
Hey Marlena-
This makeup look is gorgeous. I’m getting married next fall and I think this look would be perfect! By the way, I love the music you had playing for the intro. Do you happen to know the name? Thanks!
When will you have more of the 28 palette? I noticed it’s out of stock on your site?
She has some in the store now.
Are any of the colors in the 28 pallette comparable to any colors in the 88 color palate? If so, can anyone help me with which ones? TIA
i just bought the 18 palettte, and i love it!!!!! so good and great value!!
O my goodness this is a beautiful look and I am getting married in 3weeks n I am definitely doing this look…is there anyway u can give mac dupes for the palette colors so I can make a quad to take with me for touch ups?
Hi Marlena,
I love your work! Big fan!
I am getting married in late September. My dress is a glamour dark red, I would like to do a makeup similar to this one. What colour for the lip should I wear? Same as the dress? I thinks it might be too dark. I am not a lipstick nor a lipgloss person. I have the benefit tint (the red one).
Thanking you in advance for any help.

What shade do you use in the Urban Decay Primer Potion? Eden or Original?
I love this look! thanks for doing another bridal look, i was hoping you would… i mean, i use your makeup tips for my everyday life, why not for this biggest day of my life too!
i am pleased to say this is the look i will have on Nov. 6, 2010 (the day i marry the love of my life) (:
THANKS !
Hi Marlena,
First let me say you are looking quite beautiful these days. I cannot believe your transformation.
ok..to my question…Since you are using the 28 neutral palette. Could you tell me what are the MAC dupes that are in this palette? Keep up with the great videos.
Thanks!
