Ohhh hi Marlena….
Thanks for posting such lovely makeup tutorials,
I would like you to show us how do you use the face foundation, powder, concealor and other cosmitics that you use before applying the eyeshadows…
I have an olive skin or it is a bit darker than your skin, is it suitable to apply your colors on my skin, and if not please suggest for us alternative or suitable colors.
looking forward to your new tutorials…
have a nice day…
Marlena, you are fabulous! Love, love, love your tutorials!
i love it .

Hi Marlena!
Ur makeup is so great!
Well you know, where I live we can’t get Nars, NYX or Coastal products, not even from the Internet because of the import regulations. Is there any chance that you suggest some equivalent products by MAC? Thanks!!
I LOVE THIS LOOK! And im obsessed with the costal scents 78 pallette! i finally got it last week and its the best 24$ ive spent in a really long time! everyone asks me about my shadows and blush that i use from it! i love it! thanks for advertising them! i had a field day on their website couple of nights ago, AGAIN! hahaha

Hi Marlena: Quick question. Do you ever apply mascara after you put on the “falsies”. If so, how would you clean them for a next time use.
Thanks, Marie
P.S. By the way, I have learned so much from you. You are an excellent makeup artist. I too am one living in Toronto, Canada. Keep up the great tutorials.

You’re a great teacher!

Thank you
XOXO form Monterrey, Mexico.
What a gorgeous look! I have to say, I also love your hair in this tutorial. Any chance of getting a tutorial on this hairstyle? Thanks again for sharing!
MARLENA I BOUGHT WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE SONIA KASHUK BLENDING BRUSH… WELL ITS ACTUALLY CALLED THE ” SHAPED BLENDING BRUSH” DID I PICK UP THE WRONG ONE CAUSE YOURS LOOKS BIGGER ON THE VIDEOS
Love this look!! thanks for doing itt
I was wondering if you know what color eye shadows bring out brown eyes more? Cause thats my situation I’d love to pull of the smokey eye look but I think the gray and black are too dark for e. If any idea please let me know 
THANKS for Everything!!
Thank you for the tutorial; I couldn’t figure what made the eyelid look like it had that glowy, I-have-Vaseline-on-my-lids shine–the shimmer in the Coastal Scents eye shadow in Magnetic! My unfortunate problem with a lot of your looks, is because they are so heavy (however intricate!), how is it that the common definition of sexy is skanky sorority girl? (~_~) (not a question, just a comment)
I LOVE YOUR VIDEO
I’m going to do this look on a date with my boyfriend!
The ending was a huge laughter for me cause before I watched the video, I scrimmed to the bottom and saw all your photos of this look and I thought the last picture was you eating a MUFFIN!!!! (LATER ON I SEE that it’s a mouse)
WHOOPSIES
hey,
i love this!!!!!!but im to young this look!!
Marlena, I love ur tutorials!
Could you please make one on how you did your hair in this video?
Thanks!!
Ok I am soo sad. I keep trying to login to get in the chats and it says i am not active.. Grrrr i really wanted to submit for the look of the week. **SIGH** maybe next time.Well anywho this is a gabulous look. my daughter (11 and just starting out with makeup) tried it and it was super easy. I only wish my comp was in my bathroom. LOL makes it easier to follow along haha. smooches
Hey Love The Look!!!!! BTW I have a hamster like that also!!! I call him Midget since he is dwarf hamster!!!!
Hey Marlena. i love all your tutorials!! This look is just fantastic. I was wondering if you would be able to do a tute on applying false eyelashes, i’ve been yearning to try but am too scared.
Thanks!!
Oh just saw the tut on how to appy false lashes. lol
Hey marlena,
I loved that look. I have a question. I have blue eyes and fair skin and Im trying to find a sexy and gorgous look for a night out. I dont want to go too dark or too light. Your awesome with this stuff so can you help??
Bri
