You are just so beautiful. I am speechless. What an amazing look!
Awesome job! I’ll have to try this look some time this week. Keep the tuts coming!
I abs. luv this look!
perfect as always, your a true inspiration
Marlena Bravo Super gorgeous I will do this look tomorrow maybe oxox Melinda
so pretty I just love the colour.
Gorgeous look, but the video is too blurry! I had a lil trouble watching it!
Beautiful look…too bad I won’t be able to pull this off. I’m more into the neutrals. Will you please do more tuts with neutral colors? Also, do you know of any place where I might be able to purchase the Blonde, Brunette and Redhead MSF in Brunette? Thanks.
Ebay!
Thanks Archelle! Do you think they will be true authentic MAC and do have a seller you would recommend?
This is cute and fun. You are very pretty. Thanks for sharing your tips. I am still trying to learn how to apply pigment. And, trying to learn how to put pigment and eye shadow together, like mix and match. I always have trouble to mix the color well together.
I love it! I always look forward to your tutorials Marlena =] Thank you!!
I always love when you show out-takes. Mostly b/c I love your laugh!!!
Every makeup you do on you…look so perfect….
I still waiting for Megan Fox makeup…please!!
i will also like to see you putting makeup on someone else…people with different eyes, lips..skin colors..etc
Yes! would love to see make-overs on others too just to get an idea of what colours would be better for other skin colours.
I Love This Look So Much It’s Just Beautiful!
I Recently Bought All The Ben Nye Pigment Samples From The MUG Store,
So I Cannot Wait To Try This Look Out! Thanks Again Marlena For This Wonderful Turtorial!
Jazz~
This is a gorgeous look! Could you list some mac or nyx dupes? Thanks
I wish there was a good mac substitute for the gold and purple, but for the others I would say Steamy and Passionate eyeshadows.
I saw the nyx selection avaliable thru the MUG store and saw they were all nicely depoted and stored in a case. Do you also sell the case? Can you tell me where I can buy??
Thank you.
Loyal viewer
I don’t know about mac or nyx dupes, but there are some la colour dupes. the gold is called sunshine and maybe grape jelly for the purple.
can anyone tell me what type of case can hold depoted nyx single shadows??? and where it can be obtained
Absolutely beautiful!!!!
This look just made me happy. You are right Marlena, with this gorgeous vibrant colors you can only smile all day. It really looks great on you.
this is so good i like it yep thats all
Love the quality of the videos. Great blending technique learnt! Thanks!
This look is great but I’m more into the neutral colors or not so brilliant and shocking!
I love it but probably I would only use that just for an hawaiian party or something like that. But I truly love the vibrant colors
stanning make-up, you are the best
Amazing make-up! You are such a great teacher. Thank you Marlena!
Beautiful!
Omg!!! I love love this look!! You are so creative & pretty-I can’t wait to try this look =*}

OMG! marlena this is probably my favorite look u have ever done!!

xoxo-lots of smiles
Logalade
ps- the frosted ocean shadow looks so amazing on you! ur eyes just POP!!
Great video…. I was wondering what purple color Marlena actually used in her video. In the list of colors that she used it’s noted that she used Royal Purple, but in the video she says she used Amethyst. Marlena, can you let me know what color was used? I’d love to purchase it, I love purple.
I love this video.
I’m so happy to see you using Ben Nye. I’m a theatre major and we use Ben Nye products for everything as far as theatre but never for just a pretty look to wear during the day so that is very refreshing. I love your tutorials.
I love it………I feel I’m too dark for thoes bright colors sometimes!
It is beautiful, I love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely G O R G E O U S!!!!!!!!!!!!!
gorgeous look Marlena, as always thank you for sharing your tips……..
Very cute look! One of my fav.
Brights suit you so well!!! That’s gorgeous.
Welcome back!!!!! Missed your tutorials!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE that look!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sara =)
Greetings of Marlena, I from Russia, I very much like your video-lessons. With impatience I wait for new video.
=) if you dap a good amount of baby powder under your eye when using pigments its amazing how easy it is to wipe off without any acess color left on your face !
great look btw!
Hey Marlena
Firstly, THANKS for your vids! They are all just great!
HELP!! Everytime when I apply eye makeup, I feel great the whole day. But when I should clean my eyes ih the evening, the makeup does go away very hard and there is all the time mascara and eyeliner staying. After removing, my eyes hurt so much that I don’t want to put on eye makeup for a while! Even the day after my eyes are irritated and hurt. So, which eye makeup remover do you use or which one do you recommend? What do you think, is there any brand which I could buy in Switzerland? Estee Lauder, L’oreal, Manhattan, Maybelline, Clarins, Nivea or so? I cannot buy MAC, neither NYX and other Amerikan brands.
Thank you so much for any help, greetings from Switzerland and sorry for the faults, but I’m not so used to the English language.
Have a nice day
I would first make sure to wash your face as normal- the warm water will loosen up the makeup some. Then, use a cotton ball with some makeup remover or even some olive oil to take off any remaining eye makeup. Estee Lauder does have a good cream based makeup remover- can’t remember the exact name, but it’s in a mint green bottle.
If your eyes are hurting, then you’re being too rough or using harsh products- try using something that has a bit of oil in it for your eyes as it is more gentle
I think Marlena is thinking about Take It Away- it’s a makeup remover, not a cleanser, so you’ll still want to use your normal cleanser afterward or it leaves a bit of a sticky feeling.
Oh, thank you so much for answering my question so quickly! I feel honoured to profit from your great knowledge. I’ll have a look on this remover today because unfortunately by night I have to remove my first great look based on your beginner vids!!! It has turned out so beautiful! Thank you!!!
Greetings from Switzerland, be blessed
This is so pretty! It actually reminds me a lot of the Taco Bell inspired look I posted on the forum- of course it’s much more wearable, since mine was editorial style! I love the purple shade though, I may have to hunt that down!
heeeeeeeey marline ..

love it!!!!!!!!!!
I love it toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo >>>>>>>>>>
Hi Marlena: We really miss you when you were on vacations… this is a wonderfull and fun look… I have a question, everytime I use eye liner on my waterline ends all below my eyelashes, and I look like I’ve been crying for a long time I don´t know exactly the word for it (sorry, I´m from Mexico… jiji) anyway, i would like to know how to evoid that effect…
Thank you so much!!
Marlena! This look is gorgeous! I tried it and I got so many compliments! Thanks!
My name is Nohely and I love your website. I want to become a make up artist but I really don’t know how to break into the scene. Either this Fall or Winter I am going to go to
Make Up First, LLC in Chicago. Lately I have been doing my family and Friends make up for parties and wedding. So could you give more scene of direction in this field. I have been thinking about Working for MAC or Sephora. You could give me some good advice I would be grateful. Thank You and Can you please Show us how to make or pack or make up Case
I can’t find anything to help droopy eyes or sad eyes the only way I can find to cover it up is by wearing a lot of makeup and drawing on eye liner like a crayon upwards.(YUCK!) please help me.
hey you didnt show what you did on your face on this vid what did you use that made the highlighting shimmer bit on your cheekbones was it the mac skinfinish? thanks x
wow bytifelllllll vacker
Hey Marlena!
Just had a quick question, I’m a bit confused as to which color you used for the purple pigment in your tutorial. In the video you said it was “Amethyst” but on the link to the MUG store, it’s labeled as “Royal Purple”. Hopefully, you can get back to me as to which one you used in the video. Thanks!
This is such a cute look, i enjoy your inspiritaion in your make up style.
makes me feel inspired to try new things with my make up!
your a great role model for others.
thanks.
this has got to be my favorite. I LOVE bright colors
marlena, please, please can you make a tutorial on elvira’s look?
absolutely amazing!
I absolutely love this look. I have to wear hawaiian/Tropical shirts to work so this will go great with all of them. Alright so i have a quick question also. In the video you call the purple a different name than what you listed. What is the exact name of the purple. I have very green eyes and purple really brings out the green. Can you also do a look with the ben nye peacock pigment and a purple? Your great keep up the good work.
I did that kinda look for a shoot once and had an absolute blast! heres a link to one of my favorite shots with a similar look
