hi marlena ur new look is awsum i just love ur videos….
Really gorgeous Marlena!!!
Hy Marlena! this is a gorgeous look! How can i do it for green eyes? which color (pigment) wold be great? an not too dark? Thanx!
I have Loreal HIP pigment in intrepid and it is an EXACT match for the blue brown pigment
….an exact match!
That´s correct Michel, the L´OREAL pigment is named INTREPID (#914) I have it and it is the exact same color!!!
Hi! I have green eyes and the icy green pigment would be beautiful, a shimmery rose-gold or rosy brown or a iced lilac or a dark purple. lighter colors would be rosy colors, golds, lilacs:)
Any plum colored pigment would be pretty
Bronze colors even look good too
Marlena I love how u do do ur makeup I love playing around with makeup too but even tho u have videos for how u do ur makeup it still doesn’t come out the way u have it on me. Could it be due to maybe diff eye shapes cuz I even use the same products?
This is the best makeup autunum proposition I have seen for this season XD
Thanks for the inspiration! It really looks cool! I will try to do copy this make up on the Breaking Dawn premiere XD Wuhuuu!
Gorgeous as always !!!
I love this!! I got some really cool mica pigments from TKB trading http://www.tkbtrading.com They have some like Blue Brown plus more! Also, I got one very similar from L’Oreal, it’s the HiP High Intensity Pigment in #914 Intrepid. It is .05oz(1.5g) & it’s about $12.
I really enjoy your videos, Marlena!
Happy early Thanksgiving, everyone!
Leora
I love the look very nice
hope you have a very good holiday together with all your love ones and mostly be safe
Thank you so much! Happy holidays to you too sweetie

Great video! Any update on the mug eyeshadows? When are they released, I can’t wait to start buying!! : )
They’ll be totally ready in 2 weeks
I love it ima use it for the movida thanks girl
Love it!!!! Would the look be good for a dance recital too? I ask because of the lights. Continue the good work. I admire you a lot.
I think this would be really nice for a recital! It would reflect in the light very nicely
Beautiful look, I will be trying it for Thanksgiving. Can you tell us where you get your jewelry?
I usually get my jewelry from Express, Forever 21, or Charlotte Russe
Hi Marlena! This look is STUNNING! I wanted to buy that pigment from the MUG store but it looks like a bunch of other people had the same idea and it’s out of stock. Are there any others in stock that you think would be a good substitute for this look? Thanks! xo
WOW! There’s so many things on your face but it still looks so natural on you and sooo amazing!
I’m really impressed by this metallic glow, looks great on you!
Gorgeous look. I dont know if it’s just me but the sound of this video is badly out of sync.

gorgeos look and great video!! I just want to say that Mary Kay has a creamy eyeshadow in silver that would be good for this look!
Marlena, where do you shop for your clothes and accessories. It looks like I am the same size as you. I love your look!
This top is from Target and the earring I believe are from Express
Beautiful as always! I have learned so much from you. I’m a huge fan <3
Blah Blah Blah Angelina…
yujrt6
Great look, very sultry!!! Marlena, if you ever have time, would you make a “High school girl with pigtails” tutorial? My husband goes nuts for that look, but at the same time I dont want to look funny/crazy. Pleaseeeeee!!!
Love this. I recreated with wedge in the crease, era to blend naked lunch to highlight espresso in outer v. Tons of compliments! Thanks marlena! Xoxo
You can always use the MAC mixing medium with pigments too. It goes on pretty good unless you have super dry eyelids.
I loved it Marlena!! L´OREAL has a dupe for the Mac pigment is the exact same color… And you can buy it anywhere, and the L´OREAL HIP High intensity pigment color is INTREPID (#914)
Good to know- thanks for sharing!
You are Welcome!! THANKS to you!!
I think i found my Thanksgiving look thaz Marlena!
Thanks for the tip with using the 217 brush for paintpots. Never tried it before but it’s awesome.
hi, marlena,
Im from Malaysia. i love your video and also your makeup.
its so easy to learn. me myself as a makeup geek got inspired by what you do.
thank you for everything.
Linda!
My second favorit look now. The first one its tour b-day look! That one is my number one!!!!!!
You look awsome!!!!
Love the look. Quick question I went to the MAC store and they no longer have ground brown. I know that e bay wed site they have some it there but I don’t like ordering off of e-bay (bad experience) I was wondering if there is another color that is similar to ground brown that they have in the MAC store that you would suggest???
Brown Down or Espresso would work
Muy bonita! Me gusta este look……gracias!
pretty pretty pretty as ever !!!!!!!!…
You inspired me to try this with my MAC duochrome eyeshadow (it’s like Club). This is interesting and pretty, so thank you for showing this to us!
I have a tutorial request for you; if you ever have time, would you consider recreating Selena Gomez’s first makeup look from the Love You Like A Love Song video? It features intense purple eyeshadow and orange lipstick. I’ll try to give you a link to the look. I think it’d look great on you.
http://cdn03.cdnwp.celebuzz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/23/selena-gomez-love-you-like-a-love-song-400×300.jpg
I just looked at the picture you linked and I second that request! The intense purple smokey eyes are hot!
Thanks! Yeah, they are definitely sexy! I found a few better links (I know I’m crazy) for the look.

I agree Marlena – would love for you to do an updated purple smokey eye for us green eyed girls! LOVE your videos
I’ve been a fan of yours since 3 years ago and it’s just this recently I visited your website. You look even more gorgeous than I last saw you. And the metallic smokey eye you did is so sexy!
Hi Marlena, I love this look! I have a bunch of MAC pigments, but I have never used them wet before — I’m going to try that pronto
I use the Revlon colorstay foundation and I love the coverage, but I have a really hard time blending anything on top of it (i.e. cream blush). Is there a technique that will allow me to blend or would you suggest switching to the Nuetrogena foundation you listed in this video? Thanks!
I love this look! I have an eyeshadow that is extremely close to the color of this pigment. It is a Too Faced shadow called “Label Whore” and it’s one of my favorites. I wear it all the time but usually in the crease, with a light shimmery color on the lids. I’ve always wanted to try wearing it on my lids but I wasn’t sure how it would look and what I would put in the crease. Thanks so much for the idea!
Beautiful! Gotta try it. Got any looks with NYX on the go glitter in Champagne Bubble??
Completely OBSESSED with this look!! I’ve been waiting for one like this!
I am a huge fan of yours!I have seen all your videos and I have learned so much from you.I, have bought also MUG brushes.They are very good quality ,as you promise.All your comments about the various makeup products are just right!You are a precious consultant.I have deep set eyes.PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE,make a tutorial about that type of eyes.Thank you for all!
Superbe comme d’habitude !!!

Hi Marlena.
I just want to let you know, that I tried this look last weekend and it was just so fun and easy to do, I really had fun while I was doing the tutorial, and I got many compliments for my looks.
Thank you for sharing your great tutorials and your techniques, I have learned so much from you already, you are the best.
Greetings from Denmark.

Hello Marlena! Beautiful look as always, I enjoy all of your fresh new ideas. I was wondering if you had any clue as to what make-up should look like for a boudoir photo shoot? A friend of mine is asking for help, and I thought.. HEY! I bet Marlena has a few ideas! Just thought I would ask, lol like you do not have enough on your plate. Have a great day!
Marlena, you´re awsome!!! Very beutiful look. Thanks!
Thank you , Marlena !!!!!!!!!!
Dear Marlena,
So if it not to much trouble I would love for you to help!!!!:):):):)<3
I love this makeup look and can’t wait to try it out!!!!!!!:) I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on a lace masquerade mask. My school is having a masquerade themed party and I wanted to go with something I had created( and I’m cheap!lol)
Love, Hope
Dear Marlena,
I LOVE THIS LOOK!! I was looking for something fun like this to try for my work Christmas party, since it will take place at a night club!! Can’t wait to try out this look!! The colors are just fantastic!!
This is a great look Marlena! It’s so pretty and festive. You showed us how to “foil” pigment in this video, and I was wondering if you can only do this with pigment. Could we also try regular highly pigmented shadows in pallettes for example?
What is a dupe for tete a tint? Thanks
Is there a kit for this look?
I suggest the wet n wild comfort zone palette you won’t regret it. It has all the colors
omg I tried the look and it’s amazing marlena, but I do have a suggestion, I have the palette that has all the colors you used on this tutorial. It’s the wet n wild comfort zone palette I swear the colors are great and a cheaper alternative. I promise you and your muggies won’t regret trying it out. Much luv.
I’ve had the MAC Blue Brown pigment for a few years now and never could quite figure out how to wear it without looking trashy! lol I LOVE this look and will definitely be trying it!!!! Thanks!
Metallic is a huge trend this season, and Marlena, you have created totally fabulous smokey eyes look ! Love it ! Great inspiration for this weekend look .
Regards

Hi Marlena!
You definitely are awesome in your tutorials!
By the way thanks for this fantastic tutorial…
I watch your tutorials on Fridays when work is slow, and this look really stood out to me! I’ll definitely give it a try. Would Wedge be a suitable alternative to Tete a tint? And Cork instead of Ground Brown? I’m a little fairer than you…
Thanks!
