WoW You Rock This LooK
WOW!!!! What a FANTABULOUS look! Love the colors and the liner

“Idea Gallery” is much more user friendly. I like being able to see all the looks for that color on one page, the thumbnails get two thumbs up!
Hi Marlena,love the look, but can you please tell me where I can find that palette? Thanx
Hola Marlena:
Me gustó mucho este tutorial, pues estos colores tan fuerte y tan lo0cos se te ven super bien muchas gracias por mostrarnos como se hacer. Hasta pronto.
Looks sunset-y! I love it!
Very creative!
You are SO TALENTED!! I love your tutorials!!
Marlena – I am not sure if you’ll see this or the message I posted in the Makeup advice forum first… but I wanted to know why you recommended using an eye shadow and not a pressed matte powder for under the eye area? I’m going to try Vanilla, though! I just wanted to ask.
BTW this is one of my favorite looks on you by far. I LOVE everything you do, but I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!
Mrlena:
How do you apply the Revlon colorstay foundation? It dries very quickly. I use (and don’t gasp!!) a wedge sponge. But i’m sure you do something different. I do love how flawless the skin looks with this foundation.
Love,love,love your tutorials!!~!
Big puertorican hug!

Incredible, a real work of art in your eyes, Malena.
lol that was funny i was going to do the pink and green brown one of hers. LOL.
Heather,
You can use a matte pressed powder, but since I already have the eyeshadow- it saves me some moola
LouLou,
Lately I’ve been applying my foundation with my fingers, but using a foundation brush or stippling brush works fine too. Anytime you use a sponge, it soaks the product in leaving you with less to apply for your face- try using your fingers or a brush
hey awesome tut
Quick q: what’s the name of ur nails tip color?..and what brand?
Thnx
Hello marlena ,
………i can’t find those colors separtly where can i find them ?

XOXO from Monterrey México

i loooove your art inspired makeup tutorial, its so colorful i love it
!, im starting on this makeup stuff so i’ll try that look, hope to get it:),
Hi Marcela, I like this makeup its kind of dramatic but it looks real nice on you. I’ve been thinking that you should do makeup remover tutorial and/or how to keep makeup brushes nice and clean after every use. The reason why i would like you to do it its beacuse i think that we use makeup brushes so often with different colors, but i don’t think that we keep our brushes smooth enough after we use them. So please give us some tips for that. Thank You………….Take care.
Sorry Marlena…..I changed your name on the last comment!!
Hi Marlena,
I’d like to thank you for all this fantastic tutorials! I’m from Greece and I’m starting now my carrier and you help me so much with your advice and thank you for that. I’m so sorry about my English its terrible, but I wanted so much to write to you! Make up makes me happy like you said and YOU make us to be more and more happier! Also I wand to thank you because I learn from you so nice product, which I want like crazy (all of them!).
Thank you once again for all and of curse I love this look, like everyone other that you made!
Kisses from Greece!
(I’M SO SO SO SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH I TRY TO IMPROVE THEM, REALY!)
Oh Marlena! Excellent look! I want this MUFE make up palette which has 2-3 layers if I am not mistaken. I cannot find it here in Sephora of course. How much did it cost? Just to know. I might try and find it in e-bay… Thanks!
Marlena-
You do such a great job! I am really impressed.
So nice to meet you the other day at the Wellness Center.
Ever think about doing a tutorial on applying false eyelashes!? That would be amazing! I have the hardest time with that, so it’s unfortunate that I never do it!
Hope to see you around the Wellness Center!
