This was a great video.
I especially loved the tip about getting your eye shadows ready the night before.
Very helpful!
Another great video and helpful in just doing the basics!
P.S. you did not talk to much
HI marlena,
Im new to makeupgeek, i really liked this video.I also wanted to know the shades that are best suited for brown skin tone ,as i am struggling with selecting the right shades and i always endup getting maroon or red, i want to try something new. Hope you can suggest me something new.
I love this look, I love EXPENSIVE PINK, it is my favorite colour for a neutral look!
As always I totally love your website!
Hi Lalitha
I’m not sure what brand you use/prefer, but I absolutely LOVE mac’s “Amber Lights” on darker skin tones- it’s gorgeous! Golds, purples, teals, just about any color would look great on you! To add some depth to the outer V, use a color like “Black Tied” or “Carbon”- black tied is easier to work with than carbon though…
Hope that helps
thanks alot marlena, I can’t wait to try these new shades [:)]
OMG I love this tut…thanks so much. I’m super thrilled too cuz I don’t really see a lot of tutorials that use Fresco Rose!
I have heard you say in previouse videos, that if we really want a color to pop we could use a black base. can i use macs fluidline in blacktrack?
Thank you so much for another great toutorial, I love your website!!! Since I have been watching your tips my make up looks better every day. Please don stop talking you explain things so clearly. Please do one about primer, concealer and foundation and the look of the week!
Many thanx
hey! great tutorial !
i alway watch yours videos on youtube …
can you do a tutorial 4 christina aguillera in the video tell me, the first look that she have , the natural one.
thank
So useful…thank you! Quick question, how do you keep your makeup brushes clean?
Hi Marlena!
I love your vids, you’re accent is lovely! You always have such perfect hair & skin. I’ll stop now before I start sounding stalkerish lol!
Do you think the NYX jumbo eye pencil will work instead of the fresco rose paintpot?
Ok… here we go
“I have heard you say in previous videos, that if we really want a color to pop we could use a black base. can i use macs fluidline in blacktrack?”
Sure can!
“So useful…thank you! Quick question, how do you keep your makeup brushes clean?”
I use Enkore’s method- baby shampoo and a clean kitchen sponge
“Do you think the NYX jumbo eye pencil will work instead of the fresco rose paintpot?”
Yep- just make sure you have a good base underneath it so it doesn’t crease (like Urban Decay Primer Potion)
Very helpful!!! thanks Marlena!! I love your eye make up!!!
Thank you for all the info that you giving us every day
You are amazing !!!
Loved this video
Thank you!!
The problem I tend to run into is that I have very pale skin and the combinations of colours that tend to be used in videos always make me look like someone punched me in the eye. The contrast between my pale skin and the colours is too much. Which is a shame, cuz I would love to have these looks on my face
I LOVE your makeup tutorials! They are easy to follow & you provide great color combinations! Your eyes look fantastic in every one of your videos. I tried your Expensive Pink, Wedge, Espresso combo today w/ Painterly as my base, and I can’t stop admiring my eyes!
) Thank you SO much!
Hi Marlena!
Just wanted you to know that you are the best! I am NEW to makeup so your informative tutorial was extremely helpful for me. I am very fair so I think the neutral colors would work perfect for me. I would LOVE LOVE to see a hair video as well, my hair is the same length as yours with layers so any hair advice would really be helpful as well. You are beautiful by the way
Heyy Marlena , I was wondering which shader bruh did you use ?
Sorryy about the comment above , I meant BRUSH lol
Thank you very much but i prefer the emo look how do i do that??
I’m not sure what the emo look is… but if you have a picture, I can figure it out
I love how thorough you were in explaining this look. Which mode of eyeliner app minimizes the size of the eye? is it the thicker the line, the smaller the eye appears or vice versa? Thanks =)
Hey, OMG
this is what I have been looking for!! I used to just go to makeup counters at the mall and try different employees to see who could help me with my small eye area and finally I saw this and I love it, thank you so much for posting such great info. You are so thourough and I am so into learning more of what you got to say. I love your arabic makeup look let’s see more of that. YOu are kickass beautiful girl, love ya,
Your new student,
Lilly from Texas
The thicker the eyeliner, the smaller the eyes look- generally. You could pull off a thicker line on upper lashes, and none on bottom and it wouldn’t be too bad
I loooove this look! I love putting brown and pink together! I did this the other day, but I am horrible at trying to do the V part… I think my eyes are too small or something. So I just barely put it on the outside. I ordered the 78 piece from Coastal Scents yesterday! I can’t wait to try it out! I’m gonna use this look and probably several others! Lol!!
Thanks so much for making this vid.
I’m now starting out at applying makeup properly…before i used to just do it half-way. lol…
Hi, Marlena! Your tutorials are simply amazing! I’ve learned so much from you already.
P.S. Super love this tut. Awesome awesome. This is the easiest look ever. Thank you!
el precio que aparece abajo de los 9 pigment eyeshadows Eye Shadow Nib Macs Set A es el precio para cada pigmento o el precio es por el paquete de los 9 pigmentos juntos, y también quiero saber si es en pesos mexicanos o en dólares ( Current bid $ 250.27).
hey!
I just wanted to say that you are truley amazing at this make up art.
Sadly I am just starting out with this hole make up thing and i tried out this look and others but my out look turns up ooking like i got punched in the face I dont know what I am doing wrong I love the looks my fav is the smokie eyes I practise everyday but nothing I still look like I got in a major fight. My question is can you do something a little more basic typish for slow people like me:( i really would love to do my make up creative and beautiful like you.
and by the way i LOVE YOUR HAIR. Keep doing what you do.
I really appreciate this video. I’ve watched it a ton of times! I’m one of those beginners you reference!!
hi im new to this websit and i love the way you do your make up. i have a lot of brushes and i dont know which one you really need it. thanks for posting this video, it was really helpful
oh..i was wondering, i have a short and thin eyelashes and everytime i wear makeup and put on mascara i still cant see anything so i have to put on false lashes .i dont want to do that anymore so is there any type of mascara that make my real lashes look noticeable
Hey!
I am thinking of purchasing a primer but I was looking on the mac web site and didn’t know if I whould buy the primer or the pianterly paintpot that you have. If the paintpot is better, what shade do you usually get to prime your eyes? I have light skin and am not sure which one I would pick.
MAC lip gloss A56?
I know you listed them in the video but i’m having trouble viewing it again.
Could you please post them up.
Thanks!!!
LG
Sorry i’m talking about the brushes
thanks for this!
-From a eye shadow newbie!
Absolutely gorgeous! But I wondered.. can you type out the name for that angled eyeliner brush you have?
Hi Marlena, I’m so happy that I found your website, your tutorials helped and guided me in the right direction when it comes to applying makeup. You make it look so effortless and you really look gorgeous.
I’d like to ask though, I have a relatively small set of eyes, and they are place near the bridge of my nose, and I have a round face. Could you give some tips in choosing a good color and techniques in making my eyes look bigger and spaced apart?
I mostly have earth tone, desert or brown colors in my makeup collection. I do have some violet as well as rose.
Thanks so much and you’re amazing!
Malena thank you for your tips I am a beginner in make up and i am learning a lot from you thank you for all
