Hi Marlena,
Beautiful as always. These colors are to die for. Awesome job!
thank you so much!
rock Marlena.can u tell me which primer is best except urban decay bcoz i searched but here in dubai i cant get.thanis.also which foundation is best Revlon or Nars
Oooooh your shirt looks so silky! Any idea where it’s from?
Hi Marlena,
Gorgeous as usual!! I love this but I have to ask, I’ve just turned 40 (shh don’t tell anyone!) is this look too young for me?
ps I think you are so ACE!!
I don’t think it’s too young, but it is dramatic (no matter the age
) If you want to tone down, just don’t go as high with the pink and you could skip the glitter…
Hi Marlena,
I see you have been using Benefit Porefessional Primer a lot.
Are you liking this better than MAC mattifying gel?
I have been avoiding the MAC gel lately as I’ve been breaking out some and thinking it may have been that? I’m still trying to see if I’m allergic to silicone
Wow! You are so amazing! And your eyes look here like real orchids, soooo pretty
! I’m so jealous, you’re beautiful girl and so talented! I love your blog, you should write to the end of world and one day longer 
! Greetings from Poland (I hope I wrote everything correctly ;p)
Greeting from Germany, lol were pretty close
Well, Marlena, I must say, I am absolutely loving this look, And your hair looks fabulouso! hehe. I’m a cosmetologist, And i must say, I’m always picking up new things on makeup from your site, You are gift to those people who want to learn makeup! And you are such a beautiful person, inside and out! & I use to watch you’re work since 08′ and its so nice to see how you grew as a makeup artist, and also as a person.
Oh, By the way, I was wondering, Are you living in CA? Or MI?
Ive lived in MI for almost 15 years, And now Living GE…
I’m wondering because i know you moved.. but i don’t know if it was from MI to CA? or Vice Versa? Let me know Darling!
Take Care And Much Love

Thanks so much for the incredibly sweet comment! I’m living in California right now, but travel to Michigan every other month to check on the MUG store and staff plus visit my parents
Love this look so beutifull……X
LOVE this look Marlena, thanks for your continued effort on the tutorials…I love it when a new one comes out! Keep up the great work.
Hi Marlena! I agree with Laura above, I get soooo happy when you give us a new tutorial :p You look fabulous and this makeup really says Spring! I was excited to hear you say you are in Sacramento ~ that’s where I live too!! Maybe I’ll see you at Sephora in the Arden Fair Mall sometime
)))))))
love this look!
I love this look! its my favorite so far!!
Forgot to say….LOVE your tutorials and website!!! I’m so excited when you post a new one!!!
This is gorgeous!!
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Soooo gorgeous! i like the touch of dark grey & reflects pearl, it gives it a little kick(: how are you feeling? i hope all is well! one more question, have you tried the maybelline superstay foundation? i heard that it is a very good drug store foundation and comparable to the revlon colorstay
Love it girl its amazing
Oh lovely!! I have to try that!
I love it!!!!
Hi Marlena, I just want to say I love your tutorials. My friends and I would love to see you do a look with Sugarpill products. They have really amazing colors. Thank you!
beautiful as always.. u already have so many videos posted, but we keep wishing for more, I guess most MUGs wud agree with me…
great going girl.. but can we have more looks inspired by bollywood actresses? I am sure u have a huge fan base here in India, so can we have more such looks??? Pls??????
Do you have some pictures in mind? I’m actually planning on doing some Bollywood looks in the near future, and could use some authentic looks that I can’t find here for some reason
yea some bollywood inspired looks would be great!!:)
marlena u are a great MUA!
You look amazing as always… Love it!!
Its so beautiful Marlena:) can you please do a tutorial with some green,or blue colors
Hi Marlena,
It’s gorgeous, I love this colours for the spring!!!!!!!!!!!
So beautiful and perfict for spring!
As usual Marlena you’ve outdone yourself. This look is Gorgeous!!!! What I like the most is that the tutorial was super detailed. Just like in the past. Amazing!!!! Keep’em coming! One question, was this the 1st Edition 120 palette from BH Cosmetics?
One more thing Marlena, will u be able to post a picture of the palette with the colors you used circled like you’ve done in the past? It will help tons to get the right colors.
It defintely looks inspired, and theatrical, but educate me… this is not meant to be a wearable look is it? No sarcasm or snarkiness (just made that word up) intended, it is beautiful and creative. I guess Im used to the beauty side of makeup art and not the “art” side when watching your tutorials. Plus I need more inspiration for some of the louder colors that I own but havent found use for. Thank you and you could wear a paper sack inspired look and I’d be watching, learning, and loving. XO.
Marlena,
Love the look!!! Any chance you would do a new hair tutorial since your hair is so long now? Thanks!!!
OMG!!! I truly inspire this look its jus perfect to wear to a custom party
Wow Marlena, you look more beautiful each day, everytime I see your videos you inspire me.
Wow how beautiful!!! I don’t use any pinks or brights but this inspired me 2 try something new
i really want to know where to get that white flower ring!
this is amazing ! i love it and your look amazing as well
Gorgeous! No way I could pull that off
You are so creative, very pretty but dramatic. I’d like to try some of your looks but toned down, where I live the look would never be appreciated. Beautiful as always. I look forward to new video’s all the time.
Thanks for showing Noah and his run, I keep up with it everyday.
Marlena, could you please do some looks for the older crowd that follows you?
and I have tried about everything you posted…. however I need some ideas for the professional , ” older ” version.
40 and up? I am not afraid of color
~ Think authority figure . Law enforcement. Women in uniform that serve our country and are NOT in the military. Hmmh, that could be a new series …. (like the soda pop series)
Hi Marlena! I love the makeup as always… But I love your hair too! So cute! I’ve seen u have it this way before… Can u maybe do a quick video on the hair? Also, what volume is the 120 palette u used in this video?
Thank you so much for taking the time to do these tuts. I really really look forward to them. We have the same makeup taste and eye shape. Thanks so much!!!
i love this look !!awesome..
WOW, this is an unbelievable look! Marlena you look great!
I usually love all your looks; this one is not for me unfortunately. I don’t think I’d ever be able to wear such bright colours. You’re lovely though and it suits you really well!
Marlena this look is amazing!!!
I’ve seen many looks inspired by flowers or other colorful objects and I have to say this is one of the best. You really captured all the colors of that beautiful orchid, and how you placed the shades…brilliant! Gorgeous as always. Thanks for the video. <3 =)
LOL, I also mix foundations.
i noticed you are using the nyx eye primer how do you like it comared to the other ones you tried i started using primer postion and love it (its kinda spenddy) was wondering how the nyx compared to it thanks for your time love all your video and thanks for making it easy for us who are not pros love ya
sorry disregard my question i only looked at the bottle thought it way nyx
I love this look. I am going on a cruise in June and I will be doing this look.
Thanks
Hi Marlena…..
You are such a darling…. you are super genius…. I simply loved this look
Hi Marlena!! Love this look, it’s so perfect for spring time! I was wondering what level of Spray Tan do you do??? Your skin always looks so radiant….with just a touch of color…
Hi Marlena!!!! I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE your work! I refer everyone to this site. Do you know of any good makeup artists in NY/NJ that do work like you? I’m getting married in Nov. and am looking for an awesome artist.
I am so rocking this one tomorrow. Wait till the customers get a hold of their new beauty consultant, lol. Thanks for this one, and the last one, and the one before that, and so on, lol.

Hey Marlena,
I really like your tutorials! But I think that in your recent videos you are skiping too much of the blending and stuff… I think that is sooo important! Can you just keep doing it the same way it was before?
You are so nice and lovely we never get tired of your videos!
Love from brazil
i’m arabic women
i like all your make up
really Beautiful
OMG!!! YOUR look was inspired by a flower (pink orchid) so that inspired ME to do the following:
http://www.shoesofprey.com/shoe/yuUk (It is very pricey but please buy it! I designed it myself!)
BTW I love the third photo!
i went on ebay to try to get 120 eyeshadow palette but im confused theres lots to choose from like (Manly 120 eyeshadow palette) (Pro 120 eyeshadow palette) and others ones that say (120 eyeshadow palette) how do i know what to get or are they all just the same thing just different names??????????
this site is brilliant love,love it….xxx
Great site LOVE it!! Wondering if/when you get ur hands on the new NYX HD Foundation could you please do a review?? XO
Marlena!! This is beautiful!!! And I love that you give us alternatives on make up choices! I love that I can do each and every look you show us with my organic make up and it works!!! Thank you!! This is a beautiful look, and I might use it at my wedding this summer for my bridesmaids! It would go perfect with the color of the dresses!!
I love this look!! You are gorgeous
Wow!! i would have to say that this is one of my all time favorites… I need your help though, do you think you could possibly do one to make blue eyes pop or just give me colors to use.
I just want you to know that I was just watching this video and I think your voice made my baby kick for the first time lol… So depending on what I’m having, I say either my son likes the sound of pretty girls or my daughter likes the sound of make up tutorials either way thanks
