    I LOVE this look! You look so pretty! You and your hubby are adorable by the way! :) I really want to get this quad. My MAC counter is out of it at the moment, but I hope they get it in soon!!

    Hey Marlena! I LOVE this look….I tried it with the bronzy color on the lid and it didn’t look so good on me…I’m excited to try it this way! I had a question b/c I don’t have either of the p/p that you’re talking about. In the beg. of the tut you said you were going to use Indianwood, but then after you talked about the dark brown one you said that you used rubenesque (sp). I was just wondering which one you used so I can try it! Thanks! You are awesome!

    P.S. U and Nick make a beautiful couple!! Thanks Nick for being a sport and listening to the masses on their request.

  13. Hélène on September 6th, 2008 at 10:40 am:

    I love this look on your eyes Marlena, with this colours we can see they are green and beautiful !
    And I don’t think the dark lipgloss makes you gothic, it’s nice, really ;-)

    Thank you very much for this tutorial !

  14. Pinayfrench on September 6th, 2008 at 1:43 pm:

    I love this look. But I think, i should make it lighter because I have a dark skin. You mentioned about the cream base as a highlighter. Is it the Improper Copper or Hush for my skin tone?

  15. MiMzzz on September 6th, 2008 at 3:03 pm:

    Thanks Marlena..
    you made the makeup better than that in the picture…
    thanks for the tutorial ..
    I will try it…
    thanks again for making the tutorial for the look that I requested..
    really AWESOME one.

  16. Robin on September 6th, 2008 at 4:01 pm:

    WOW! Thanks for this one, I love it. Your hair looks amazing-really really healthy. Can I be nosy and ask what you use?

  17. Reo on September 6th, 2008 at 4:58 pm:

    Merci Marlena j’aime toujours autant tes tutos !! Thanks !!!

  18. Melissa on September 6th, 2008 at 7:47 pm:

    pretty pretty pretty…. luv this look… hey are those liners from urban decay really good…i have the hip cream liner but it stays for a few hours and all of the liners i’ve tried run to the sides of my eyes… uggghhh… can you suggest one for me… i even tried the waterproof styli style one and nothing…. so frustrated…. plus i live in hot weather …so thanks if you can help …

  19. Wendy on September 7th, 2008 at 1:58 am:

    Beautiful tutorial as always Marlena, THANKS! You two make a GORGEOUS couple!! ahhhhhh.

  20. marlena on September 7th, 2008 at 6:08 am:

    I really like the Urban Decay ones- they stay on for me, but for some they dont… I would possibly try Bourjois Waterproof eyeliners.

    Sorry everyone about the paintpot mixup- whoops! I used Indianwood for this video, but was hoping to find my “Constructivist” one- it is a nice brown color that would bring out the dark brown in the quad. You don’t have to have that specific paintpot- painterly would work fine too, you’ll just need to pack on a bit more color on the lid

  21. Sarah on September 7th, 2008 at 11:54 am:

    I love this look!! I used it for a date night with my husband lastnight. It turned out great. My daughter commented before we left that it really made my eyes pop. I don’t have the Indianwood Paint Pot …yet, so I used Fresco Rose and I really liked that under the brown on the lid.

  22. maria on September 7th, 2008 at 7:05 pm:

    Just check how proud that husband is! Look at his look, he’s melting out of happiness!

  23. Stephanie on September 7th, 2008 at 7:35 pm:

  25. Whitney on September 8th, 2008 at 4:15 pm:

    I loved this one! I had to wait an hour and a half for it to load…..and it was way worth it! :] [ Dial up internet at work]

  26. divasinger5 on September 8th, 2008 at 6:52 pm:

    Marlena–You are as beautiful as ever. Love this look.Thanks for the dups.
    I really want that quad but I’m stuck at home because of the hurricane aftermath. I think I will try this look when I go back to work. I have exspresso, cranberry, coppering (with expensive pink maybe), and vanilla. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

  27. Becky on September 9th, 2008 at 1:42 pm:

    I love the look! You are so talented, and you guys are adorable! I’m not brave enough for this look yet, still perfecting “natural” tutorial :)

  28. Ruby9957 on September 9th, 2008 at 3:53 pm:

    WOW… I love ? this look..!
    BTW your tutorials are simple THE BEST ones out there…keep them coming with the
    “ingridient” list and where to buy…
    HUGZ,
    Ruby

    Hey Marlena,
    I absolutely adore this look!! I have been wearing it for the past three days. It’s such a great fall look, I love experimenting with make-up and trying out new looks. I have a quick question, when ever I try to take pictures of the finished result, they come out kind of yellow or orange. What kind of “environment” is the best for taking make-up pictures?

    Thanks a bunch and keep up the good work.

    Jessica
