Hi Marlena ! This is beautiful ! I am seeking to be a makeup artist and I was wondering if you had any contacts for makeup artist or any tips on how to start my career while I am young?
I think a great place to network when starting out is modelmayhem’s site as you can find other photographers and models to work with to build up your portfolio and can get the practice in. As far as schools go, I had a good experience with Cosmix in Ft Lauderdale. I know Makeup Designory is supposed to be good, but I haven’t been there to find out…
What a fun and creative tutorial! Thanks, Marlena.
Which course did you take at Cosmix?
Hi I just saw a video of you talking about haters and really make me feel sad and angry because i cant believe people are so ungreatful of what you do and all you have done to manny girls, I personally thank you for all your time that you dadicate to teach us to b more beautiful please you dont have to give any explication to anybody, of your divorce, money, or any of your personal bussines you have to many people that loves you including me, and you have the right to become the most succefull woman, you deserve it and you have earn it so forget about those losers and remember we need you and we thank you…. love Ingrid.
I love it, like candy
. Now “Lips Like Sugar” is stuck in my head lol
hahaha! You always crack me up
I love this! Thank you for doing this!!!
hello marlena i have being asking since forever what is the nail polish color that u are using in the last mac haul video? i really will like to get it <3
Is it the light pink one? If so, it is a gel based powder that is light pink in color- I have them done at Top Coat Nail Salons in central california
hi can u do face routine again bec u did that long time ago plsssssssssss……………………………………………………………………..
I did one I think fairly recently- maybe 5 months ago? I’ll see what I can do
Your last 2 videos are fantastic looking! The clean white background and streamlined graphics and editing have been kicked up to a whole new level – very professional quality, nice job!
thanks so much Nichole! I’ll pass that on to Nicola as I know she’ll appreciate you recognizing her hard work too
Can u please explain how you did the white background and the lightinig? The looks will look now much more cleaner, your job will show better.
We just put up a white fabric in the back and put a few lights on it
Hi,Marlena. I need your help. Are Nars Roman Holiday lipstick and Turkish Delight lipgloss for fair skin?How can I choose the right pink for my skin?THANK YOU
YOU ARE THE BEST
I really like these two colors- they look beautiful on fair skin! Turkish Delight though is a very light pink so it will lighten or tone down any lip color you have on
Hi Marlena! I have been a fan of yours for a long time, I LOVE this look and can’t wait to try it out!
On a more personal level, I recently went back and watched some really old videos you had posted, and I just wanted to say that you seem SO much happier and personable now. I love how you are silly and funny and make jokes while you do your tutorials. You were very serious in your older videos. I am glad to see you so happy, keep up the great work! <3
Marlenaaaa, this look is so simple and hott, cant wait to try it! But i need ur opinion, is the concealer for under eye circles suppose to be lighter or darker than ur skin tone??? Im such a fan btw,dunno what i would do without u!!!!
Thanks!
If you watch some of Marlena’s other tutorials, she uses and orange toned concealer to cancel out the purpleness of the dark circles. So, neither lighter no darker is really the way to go. I believe she sells the concealer in the MUG store.
*an not and
O i c, that makes sense. Thanks soo much Megan!!!
Hey Lilly G , it’s better if you use concealer the same color as your skin tone. I had that problem last year, but I found if I got more sleep it helped alot more, because when you get bags under your eyes it tends to make your under-eye look really dark. If just using concealer doesnt help, then after you’ve applyed the concealer appy some face powder, or my personal fave would be to use mineral foundation:) Hope I helped, gud luck
Thanks so much Mina, im def gonna try the mineral foundation!
Great look Marlena. Interesting twist to regular tutorials. You are an inspiration
THANK YOU!!
i like this ,the color is beautiful
i will try within this summer ,
bt ,can you give more infornation for keeping the lip colors more long lasting?
thanks
sadly lip colors don’t last on your lips forever
But i did find one that lasted on your lips even if you drunk water or watever drink you were drinking … Im pretty shaw it was from rimmel or maybelline.
Hi Marlena!
I’m a great fan of yours and I like your video’s and all that stuff. Someday i was looking for a video from the musical Wicked on YouTube and there was your video : Glinda make-up Wicked or something… And i was just…. Omg!!! I have maked some of my own tutorials but they weren’t really good I guess… But anyways, I just wanted to say that you are a very very very very good make-up artist, and I hope you keep doing your tutorials.
Kisses from a Dutch MUG,
Evelyne
Oh and what I forgot to tell is that i like this video a lot, can I finisch with a sparkle lipgloss? Please tell me…
Sorry finish
In the video you mention Summer Stash that you have put on your eyes! Hooray for it, because I have these pigments and I have bought all 8 colors, they are incredible beautiful. Which one of the colors have you used here in this video here, pearl or peachy?
You are truly a great inspiration and I delighted whenever you come up with something new. Incidentally I have just decorated my computer / sewing room. I’ve got inspiration from your studio with pink walls and black cabinets. WAU it is beautiful! Thanks for that;-)
Keep up the good work
plenty of hugs
Marlena what eyebrow gel/powder/liner do you use? Love the colour and your brows always look perfect! I have very dark brown hair and am having trouble finding a colour to ‘go’.
Thanks!
Hi Marlena!
I hope you can get back to me as I wanted to ask if you needed any help with the following:
1. writing articles for the makeupgeek website
2. if you need an asian model, i’d love to be your model!
I wrote an email and your assistants wrote back to me a few months ago and said they’d pass my email onto you but since I haven’t heard anything I thought I’d write something here.
I love your website, I graduated with a BA in English so I have good writing skills, too. And of course, I am a total Makeup Geek!
I know you’re in Northern Cali, but I do live in Southern Cali and I’d love to be your model if you were in need of an asian one.
I’m Japanese-American.
I’d love it if you could email me back! Thanks!
Best Regards,
Kristin
SUPER HOT MARLENA!!!! I love the lips, and as usual you’re looking BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Beautiful look, Marlena, as always
I was wondering what you thought about eyelash primer. I work at a makeup counter, and I always see a vast difference in the eyelash definition before I apply mascara on my clients. Do you think it is necessary, or does it depend on the brand of mascara you use? I ask because I’ve never seen you apply primer before mascara.
Thanks for all the helpful tips in you tutorials!
LOVE IT MARLENA! I will be curious to see how this will look on my “deep” skin tone.
Hey Marlena! I love this look its amazing… i always get scared to wear colors like such but I think you give me the confidence… You are amaziiiing and i love you videos. Also I want to tell u that you look even more gorgeous now with the weight loss and new hair. I’m loving it!
Hi you are looking fab- like always ! Great summer lip look – I LOVE IT!!
This look is soo delicious!!!!
It’s so gorgeous!
I will try this look tomorrow
Kisses from a french MUG
Hi Marlena! those lips are fabulous! can you also do a review on sephora products pls. and may i ask what make up remover do you recommend for oily skin? thanks a lot! your reply will be much appreciated.
Hey marlena! love the look! but i am in LOVE with those glasses!!! what are they?
Love the combination of the colors, and you look so beautiful, each time I see a new video you look prettier =D
Did you get your lips done? They look more plumper:)
Really fun, love the colors you chose and love all your makeup videos
omg i love this look! But it sorta reminds me of those wease ice-cream bar adds …. the ones where peoples lips are one color on one side and the other side another color
Honestly you could do this look with almost any colors!!!! Love you Marlena!!! 
Lovely! I love these funny lips! Great idea for the summer. It really looks great on you.
