    Gorgeous Marlena!! Your lips pop so beautifully! This look is truly an exotic gem :]

    This looks great on you, Marlena.

    This is such a cute look that’s nice for summer because, like you said, it’s more of a focus on eyeliner vs. shadows that can melt or fade easily in the hot weather.

    I didn’t think that I’d like bright pink lipstick/gloss like that, but I got some earlier today (coincidentaly!) and I love it! I need to fix my camera so that I can swatch some of these colors and post it on here…

    Anyway, this is another great tutorial! Thanks Marlena!

    P.S. You look like you’re getting tan!

    would a neutral colored paint pot work instead of concealer for the lips part?

    Hi Jennifer :)

    I’m thinking a paintpot will work- I would check to see if it’s lip safe though. You could also use a bit of foundation :)

    Hi NinjaMom!

    I add 1 drop at a time until I get almost a pancake batter consistency- I start by putting a little pigment in the lid, then add a drop or two and mix it. I keep adding a drop of Visine until it is thin enough to apply fluidly :)

  14. Melanie on July 3rd, 2008 at 8:23 pm:

    Hi Marlena, I just have a quick question. Can you use any Visine as a mixing medium? Thanks a lot. I love this look on you!

  15. Rebz on July 4th, 2008 at 1:56 am:

    very cute.
    what’s the use of the primer?

  16. marlena on July 4th, 2008 at 4:40 am:

    Yep- you can use any visine type product. Mine isn’t Visine- it’s Target’s generic brand as it was 1/2 the price :)

    Also, the primer helps the eyeshadows adhere to the eye and make them last longer throughout the day :)

    Hi Marlena

    i don’t have the brule e/s can i use the ricepaper or claire de lune?

  18. marlena on July 4th, 2008 at 2:15 pm:

    Hi Ivy :)
    It may work, but it will be shimmery. You’re mainly looking for something that is very close to your skin tone :)

    Hi Marlena :)

    I just discovered your website and I’m totally hooked. You are so talented and do a wonderful work of art :) I wanted to know how do you exfoliate your lips and what is the best foundation without clogging your pores?. Thanx hope to hear from you soon.

    Hello I love the 2nd Rhianna look. I love the natural look and I am always on the go so a fast natural look is what I need. My face always looks powdery and gross. I have dry skin and Ive tried every kind of moisturizers but there either oily or they dont moisturize at all. I will try the primer but I dont know if I can use concealer and primer at the same time. I am a medium skin tone and have really bad dark eye circles, HELPPPPPP. What can I do?????? I would greatly appreciate it.
