Hello Marlena,
great job. She looks stunning. I love your tutorials, so I check your site almost every day for some new entries.
Do you know any cheaper HD Powder? I’d like to give it a try.
Have a great weekend;-)
Hugs from your big fan from Portugal.
hey if you go to coastal scents and purchase there sillica powder it is the exact same thing and only like 4$
Hello Stacy,
Thank you, that’s very kind;-)
I’ll take a look.
I always love the videos where MUA’s apply makeup on the models. Thanks for sharing, was nice to see you at work x
I really like that u used a model and this is one lovely look!!!
The model is so young for this look! It will be better a lokk more natural. Bye
It’s for a dance, it’s meant to be dramatic. ^_^
She’s also 18. I think thats old enough.
hay there marlena!i love all your looks and you do justice to each and everyone i cant even pick out which one is my fav because all of them are excellent.id like to ask for some suggestions my sister and i are getting married she is going to wear blood red clothes and i am going to wear maroon could you please suggest what colour eye makeup would suit us best my sister is blonde n fair and i always feel minimal makeup suits her i would appreciate it a lot if you could be of help and suggest something so we can explain it to our stylist thank you.
p.s:my sister had greenishish hazel eyes and i have brown eyes and brown hair!
Love this look for your model it really compliments her eyes and isn’t too heavy for her young skin… BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!! PS Love the green dress at the beginning
GODDESS MARLENA .. Ive got a good idea of how to make you very very rich! ..
by making Goddess into a …… Doll.
Yep … lets make you into a Doll … ! … No not the blow – up kind (Im not even going to go down that route il get in toooooo much trouble)
I mean the TOY kind! .. as thiers the Sindy doll and Barbie doll, etc etc .. so why not a collection of 1/10th scale baby Marlenas in different make up and dress … with the collection simply called .. “THE MARLENAS”
So for example you could have .. The Bollywood Marlena .. The Bridal Marlena .. The Riding Marlena .. The Secretary Marlena .. The Nurse Marlena .. The Bedtime Marlena .. and the one id have to camp outside the toy shop for .. The Mistress Marlena .. complete with miniture boots,corset and whip …….. Love it
Just think in a years time you could be on that sea cruiser soaking up the sun in Monaco harbour, sipping Vintage Rothchild wine .. while us devoted servant geeks are confined to scubbing the decks for your pleasure ….. and all beacuse of the MARLiDOLLS.
GODDESS MARLENA
KNEELING before your DEVINE PRESENCE!
OMG LV – You freakin’ crack me up.
ha ha where in the world do you come up with this stuff???? I LUV IT!!!! ha ha
Simple, but pretty! Love it!
amazing look marlena luv it
Gorgious like always! I’m absolutely new to this whole makeup world lol I was wondering if you could make more tutorials using the 88 pallet or writting out which colors may be slightly similar to the ones you are using? You have really inspired me so much to try all these different looks! I come home and play with my pallet all the time! I’m like a big kid! But anyway thank you for taking the time to read this I really apreciate it =]

thanks again for one more great job.
I could have used a beautiful look like this for prom night!
You know what? Uau!!! I´m fascinated! You have changed Alex to the beautiful princess. Yes, it looks simple, but this colour combination seems not very classic to me and the effect is amazing! Just like young girl wants to look on the prom! Thanf you for sharing!
Ou, and I just now noticed that pictures were taken by Taryn – great work! Please, tell her about my admiration and wishes all the best! Thanks.
Hey marlena!
I love the ring you are wearing in this video–where did you get it?
Hi Marlena can use insted the pigment amber l. from mac I love yor videos
HEY MARLENA!!!!!!!!!
HOW ARE YOU? WELL I HOPE YOU DOING WELL, I JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE TEACH ME I HAVE LEARN SO MUCH…. I HAVE A QUESTION MY SKIN IS OILY WHAT FOUNDATION AND PRESS POWDER DO U THINK I SHOULD USE????????
When are you getting more Angled BLUSH Brushes??
Its been out of stock for a long time now.
great look … very cute!!
I love this look! But this came out after my prom ;-;
I’ll have to wear it to my boyfriend’s prom XD
Great Job Marlena!
I like this video, it shows a different view of your beautiful work. Continue to be healthy and happy. Many blessings
Aaawww! She looks gorgeous! =)
It’s a great look to wear to prom. Wish I could go back in time and have my prom again xD
Love the look, now I have to call my neice to test it out. I HAVE A QUESTION: Im better at controling fallout from pigments and shadows falling onto my cheeks, but it still happens, and its still an issue getting it off effectively enough without ruining my face makeup. I thought I saw a little fallout on your model, What do you do? Oh, and I know I’ve been bugging about doing a drugstore makeup haul and review on all the new stuff thats out, anything in the works? And through your praises I got the Neutrogena Healthy skin foundation, thanks, I like it for the fall weather.
Hey Mariposa,
All you have to do is go over with big fluffy brush and brush it of gently and go back with used foundation brush just to re touch…
It works for me
Hi marlena,
Great tutorial,Your always coming up with great ideas,Love this look,Quick question I am a makeup student at the moment,but im doing a formal makeup for a girl she has olive skin and brown eyes,what colour pigment would you reccommend? i love this colour but dont know if it would stand out in her eyes? Would love your opinion,I am from australia and we call prom’sformals lol
This is a great look. Its even subtle enough to wear for a nice dinner out. I think that it is great that you used mostly inexpensive products too. It makes the look very accessible to teens. Again, Marlena you have outdone yourself. Thanks ;D
So not related but I see that there are Halloween looks to come. Can I request a Lady GaGa Poker Face video make up tutorial. My daughter wants to dress up as her for Halloween and it would be really cool if I could do her make up. Please consider. Thanks
was she really a “model” or just some random friend of your’s?
She is an employee at MUG. When you are an employee you automatically become a model.
Well in that case, where can I sign up to be an employee at MUG??
hehe But Marlena I was wondering if you could recommend another loose pigment to use as a dupe for MACs, please?? Thanks a bunch for all of your awesome tutorials, I really do appreciate it!
i love this tutorial great good
I wonder if you can trust the mineral liquid foundation like the one of maybelline
Great look for prom night! I’m a little too old for prom, but I always show the younger looks to my young daughters and your tutorials have really helped them develop basic make up skills.
I plan on purchasing 2 of these kits from your store ( my daughters still haven’t learned to share lol) Thanks so much for all of the great tutorials, keep up the good work!
Please have more of the makeup sets ie., MUG soda series kits available.
They are out of stock in the MUG store.
Thanks…Your tuts are GREAT!!!!!!
Gorgeous look, I love the color!

What a beautiful helpful site. My daughter is getting ready for her homecoming dance this weekend and I’m sure she will love your ideas.
Wondering if you would like to link websites? We are all natural vegan based and have our own line of mineral makeup to boot!
I would love tips on using false lashes. I can never make them look right – lol. I am new to your site. Love it so far!! Placing my second order tonight! LOL
Hi Marlena,
