Awesome look, very fun and summery
Dr Pepper is my FAVORITE pop of all time… would LoVe to see an inspired look from that!! PS been following MUG site for 2 years now, thank you for all you do!!! 
Hello!!!
I’m note too much pink girl, but I will try this look for sure.
you are gorgeous like always.
thanks !!!
Jenny
I agree – I am not a pink eye-color makeup gal; but it is worth a try! I have hazel eyes and plums/purples look best on me I have found. But I am willing to try a new look.
what you think to do some kid of series about the worl cup? a lot of countries, a lot of colours to play around
Just a idea!!
Love the look Marlena!!! I’m amazed that MAC is included in the inexpensive alternatives lol
Hopefully I can recreate this look with the shadows I have…
its because the mac pigment samples are only like 3 dollars, so that is pretty cheap for mac!! lol
hey i really love that look im going to try it at home!!!
Hi Marlena!
I just love, love loved this look! It`s just so cute!
It`s perfect for summer-days
And, I know this is much asking for, but do you know where they sell
Make Up Forever products in Norway?
I would go to Make Up For Ever’s site, and I’m pretty sure you can find a location closer to you and call to have them ship your order
Where did you get the palette that you had all of the Makeup Forever eyeshadows in?
Very cool! Was missing the “series – makeup”
Glad to see the matte colours in play – they are my personal favourite to use!
Pinks are my fav. Love the new look. You look great!
hey marlena i was woundering do you know where they might sell these products in huntsville ontario?
love they look cant wait to see more.
Do you have Sephora there? If not, I’m not sure if Amazon ships to Ontario…
they have sephora at the Yorkdale mall in Toronto. You can shop online too
I’m definitely not Marlena by any means but I live a little south of you and there’s a Sephora in many Toronto malls (which I know, is a little out of the way for you), and in the Upper Canada Mall in Newmarket. So, I’m assuming there will be a mall close to you where you can buy these products. Maybe google Sephora and see if you can find a location near you. If not, I’m almost 100% sure they can ship to you!
Did you do a Dr. Pepper one? That would look cool with some Browns and dark reds..
You’re BACK! Yay:) I am so excited! Hope you’re loving CA; Can’t wait to see another tutorial!
Much Love,
BandGeek101:P
Very pretty Marlena. Which shade do you wear at the Revlon Foundation and what is your shade in MAC Foundations? I am NC25 so waht shade should I buy ? I want to test Revlon
Thank you
With the fake tan, I’m probably a NC30-35 in MAC foundations, and for Revlon I wear #340 Golden Caramel mixed with a bit of #180 (I mix my foundations as #340 is the right color- has more golden in it than beige, but is a little dark) I would go to the store and hold up the foundation to your jawline and match that way
Very sassy pictures at the beginning! It reminds me of the Cindy Crawford diet pepsi commercials from the 90s.
The colours you chose are BANG ON! They are exactly like the Cherry Coke label.
Great video, can’t wait to see some more from this series
It would be fun to see CACTUS COOLER, SQUIRT, and of course SPRITE. I think the color combinations would be interesting. Looking forward to seeing whatever you do next! Take Care!!
Hi Marlena! cOULD YOU give me some mac eyeshadow alternatives as I have a LOT LOT LOT of mac eyeshadows!
I posted MAC dupes in the comments below
so beautiful
This look is so great! Very creative and fabulous!
love, Love, LOVE this look. Totally sexy! I was wondering if you would do a series on the Sex In The City girls. A look that kind of represents each of them? My friends and I are getting dressed up SITC style and going to see the movie tomorrow, so I am glad I can peruse your old tutorials for something that will make me look sexy chic!
actually, a SATC-inspired tutorial would be great!!! great idea
Of all of them, I really love Miranda’s look.
Oops… lol, that’s what I meant, Sex AND the city. That’s what I get for thinking before having coffee. I am pretty sure I could pull off a sexy sassy Samantha look but what about fashionista, conservative chic and sexy professional for the rest of them? There is so much style in that show I’d love to see your take on it Marlena.
I would love to see a Mellow Yellow inspired look! But, I don’t think they make that anymore…
Iron Man 2 Dr. Pepper? xD
Wow, this is such a pretty look! Your face is glowing!
So glad you’re doing videos again. Love them and appreciate all of your advice.
I love it, you look so pretty and flirty!!!
I love this look
Can you do a look for bellydancers?
Check out her Arabic Inspired makeup, I think it’s perfect for what you’re looking for.
Your just so inspiring! Because of you I have started wearing makeup again and feeling really good about myself from all the compliments I have been getting. Thank you so much Marlena. Glad to see a new tutorial:)
Hi Marlena!
Can you please do a Purple Crush one wtih purples and greens? A great smokey purple eye for hazel eyes would be great!
Hello, somehow I can’t watch your video, it did also happen to same of Julieg713′s videos. I believe, it’s because of the music. Here in Germany, we have unfortunately strict copyright rules. So if a video with music, which has a copyright from a music label, no matter what kind of video it is, unfortunately we can watch it:( Please, maybe you can do about it?
I’m uploading the video to another hosting site now, so should be up this afternoon
Thank you for that! I also would love to see it, missed your videos for a long time
Awww thanks!
When is it going to be up? I’m sorry, I’m being sooo impatient
Thank you so much for the Cherry Coke tutorial, I loved it! The spice you put into makeup is AWESOME!
hi, i follow your blog (found it on youtube),
but it’s the first time i make a comment:
i looooooooooooooooved this make a looooot!
gonna try it tomorow for a date (hearts)
kisses from brazil
H-sama
Do a Mountain Dew look and use the new MAC eyeshadow Sweet and Punchy from the To The Beach collection!!! Love all your looks!!
Welcome back, you wonderful, lovely person you. Congrats on the new place.
Thank you!
Looks gorgeous! AND I have those exact chandelier drapes in my livingroom!!!!!
LOVE this look on u Marlena!!!!!! Its soooooo purty!!!!!!!
the dark side welcomes you LOL>
Lovin the hair too
hahaha!! too funny
Hi Marlene- I really loved the cherry coke look- so fun. I love it when you do a series of inspired looks. I have been buying Makeup for Ever the last few months and really love their eyeshadows as well as Mac- great colors and pigmentation. Keep up the tutorials- love em. Sherry
me too! I’ve been very happy with their eyeshadows as the matte colors are so vibrant and so smooth!!
Hello Sweety, so i was wondering if u can give me an alternative for MAC products, wich colors should i use to get this look because i just have MAC and its almost impossible for me to get the other brands since they dont sell those were i live but i really do love this look, please please help me!!!
I listed mac dupes in the comments below
Dearest Marlena-
I’ve been following your videos since day one!! So helpful and gorgeous as usual…..Special request! Can you do a tutorial on eyebrow shaping? I can never seem to get mine right…What’s your technique/process??
My brows are FAR from where I want them
My brows have their own mind! But.. I use mac’s brow pencils to fill in, and use a matte eyeshadow and angled brush if I need to fill in more. I know Julia from Misschievous did a great brow vid!
Ohh, I second a brow video. Actually just left you a comment about doing a brow video over on youtube. Thanks for all you do! Love your videos.
love the idea
and the colors are gourgias
**Here’s the MAC Dupes for anyone who needs it
-Vanilla e/s or Gesso (depending on how light you want the lid) If you are darker, I would use Brule as you don’t want to look ashen
-Passionate
-Fig 1
You’re basically looking for a matte white, matte bright pink, and matte dark purple
Have fun with it muggies!! 
Love the look, but I’m kinda giggling because I KNOW you did not drink that Coke!
(Or DID you?) :p
I’ll admit- I had maybe 1/5 of the bottle as I drank some while I was shooting those shots…. But I was good and didn’t drink any after pictures were done!
hey there! Anotrher great look! looking forward to the sprite one and root beer! I might recreate the look with the 120 palette. it’s great that you use the MUG brushes, as I have some of them, but don’t know how to dupe them with the mac ones, so thanx a lot!
I love this look and i really look forward to the next look! It’s so pretty! I’ll probably have to tone it down a little bit, because i’m really pale and eyeshadows stand out on me heaps even if they’re just light. But everyone who is commenting is saying mac is expensive. It isn’t. Or not at least in America. It’s really cheap in the US. Consider yourselves lucky. Mac in Australia is more than double the price.
Hannah
I can’t watch that video
Great look and Marlena you’re so tanned!!
Is it fake tan?
Yep- ala fake spray
Hi, Marlena.
Beautiful look and great idea!
I loved your candy inspired looks and now I can’t wait to see the rest of these x
Hello Marlena. I love this look but I have to comment on one thing. In your old videos you used to greed everyone and talk a little more. No it’s like straight to the point and you cut out the parts when you blend. I missed that.
Your videos don’t last more that 6 minutes now. We wait for them so long and now they are so quick. Thanks. Love you.
Hi Marlena!!
Long time no comment…
I need some help
On 13th June i got an event and I bought a satin blue dress (not light or dark…more like vivid blue) and beige shoes and now I don’t know what to wear for makeup.
I’m naturally dark blonde with brown eyes and short hair. What should I wear on? I don’t think blue makeup as a good option. I have brown eyes and I think it won’t suit me well.
About this tutorial…
I think it’s pretty beautiful…but I didn’t know there’s cherry coke :S Here, it doesn’t exist.
But I love the colors.
Take care!
If your dress is a vivid color, you’ll want to go a little easy on the makeup since your dress will attract attention with it’s brighter color. BUT, don’t go too light as you don’t want to look washed out- especially in pictures.
I would wear some golds or coppers with a touch of black smudged along the upper lashline for extra drama. Peach cheeks and pinky-peach lips
Thank you so much
I’ll search for something similar among your tutorials to learn some more tips and I’ll post it on forum so you can see it
Thanks again
Take care *
I’d love if you uploaded the video to that other site. Can’t watch it =/
I live in germany and i cannot view this video
Can anything be done about it?!!
Marlena am a great fan of yours, i learnt anything and everything about makeup from you. You are such an inspiration to me.
Yes, another German fan here – please can you post an extra video for Germany again? That would be great! I would love to see that look as well.
Thank you!
Can´t watch this in Germany……..very sad….
Hi Marlena,
Whow again a great Video… can’t wait on the rest of this serie
Hope you are doing OK, now the moving is behind you.
Lots of love
XXX
Hope all is well with you. I have a question. Which iridescent powder would look good on dark skinned women for a hightlight?
Hi. Tashia I’m a woman of color and I just bought mac golden bronze.
Yep- it looks gorgeous on dark skin tones!! So pretty
Thank you for your help as well. It’s good to be able to get advice from another woman of color. Thanks again and have a great holiday.
Very pretty, bravo! I’ll try this today! I too have a request. can you consider doing a tut on sculpting techniques for cheekbones? I have a round face and would like to balance my features better. I just started wearing blush, and I dont always get it right. Thanx!!!
Love the look and love your nails! How did you do it? Is there a proper pen to paint them?
Much love from Brazil!
I had them done in a nail salon- they’re gel filled, so they use colored powder to create the design. Was REALLY interesting how they did it!
hi marlena..

That’s totally fine- you can use whatever eyeshadows you like
Pick out the white shadow, bright pink, dark purple, and light pink to blend
awesome look
can’t wait to try it 
Thanks Marlena for always sharing your beauty secrets with us:) ever since i found your show i been hook to you lol 
i really have. I always get good compliments on my make up at work 
I work at a Day Spa Salon 
hello marlena. i’m in love with your person and work for a couple months. today i decided to bug you about the ‘peachs’ and the concealers from BB. some time ago i learned from you that a peach concealer is the right thing. here (in portugal!) the counter guy from BB sold me the warn natural color. what kind of peach is this? (or is it a another fruit
? thank you for your commitment
Hi Maria
I use the Peach concealer under the eyes to hide dark circles, but if you want to use it for blemishes on the face, then any color close to your skin will work.
Beautiful Marlena!
thank you Carly!
Hate cherry coke, love the look though!! Hope you do a Sprite one with greens and blues…
Hi, Marlena, can you tell me some tips for my round eyes? pleaseeee.
Sure can
If you’re eyes are prominent and round, wearing darker shadows on the lid is flattering, then use a medium color in the crease to blend.
Also, do a winged liner bringing it up and out at the edge of the eyes to make them look more elongated.
Black liner in the waterline is good too
You’re so beautiful, I so enjoy visiting your website and watching your tuts. I’ve actually been watching you for years and have learned bunches from you! Love the look! Thanks for the new tut!
Hey Marleana! Um i wuz jst wondering if u will do more of the soda inspired vids? cuz i really like them!
yep- next one is MUG Root Beer, then Sprite, then Dr Pepper (since that was what was voted for
)

Hi Marlena,
thousands of people always write to you about how fantastic make-up artist you are…. and I am the next one
Sooner I considered doing make-up as a boring time-consumer, but since I have watched your tuts Iike it very much. To the point of being obsessed I think. Not mentioning that I have improved a lot becase of you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I swear – I do almost do same look as my daytime go-to-look. I am fascinated that you have done this as well !!! That´s why I am “pressed” to write you now
You have refused my friend-invitation few weeks ago, I was disapointed – maybe because I am an Evgeni Plushenko´s YouTube friend. I just offered this to you because I do love your art-work.
I recommed your vids to everybody who is interested in makeup and I have your cherry-cola-vid as a featured video on my chanel now.
Take care of you a have a really good male besides you
Sending you my best wishes…
I’m still a newbie at pretty much ALL things make-up. The only things i’m familiar with are eyeliners& mascara, my knowledge on those could probably even be updated.
Now i have a question (i’m probably missing something obvious), but why the 3 choices on sephora for the primer potion if eyeshadow is going on right over it? Any help is a blessing, i’ve really been wanting to dip more into make-up now that i have the time& school is getting over
Hi Hayley
Your best bet is probably the regular primer potion- there’s no color or shimmer to it so whatever shadow you put on top will be true to color
Start by wearing just one color shadow on the lid, then adding a 2nd color to the crease. After you get familiar with that, you’ll be ready to try any of the looks
Hey Marlena!
)
I love your tutorials!
You are a very helpful, charismatic & fun to watch!
I’d been meaning to ask you a question & I’d really appreciate if you could help me.
I’ve wanted to buy the Revlon Colorstay Foundation for a while now but every time I go to the store I find myself overwhelmed by so many shades and i just can’t decide which one fits me.
I try to match a color by placing the bottle next to my skin but I can’t seem to make the right choice.
What color should I chose?
I’m a bit darker than you are ( when you are tanned..
Thank You.
I love the soda look, please do moew
love it, im gonna bjy the makeupforever colors.
if i use the 120 pallet do you think i will get the same look?or i really need to buy this brand you are using on the tutorial?thanks,
the 120 palette will work great
Just pick colors that are similar- try to use more matte ones if possible as too much shimmer with this look can be overkill
Hey I was wondering if you could do a make up look that would be really cute fir like promotion and or graduation? It would mean soooo much! (:
Marlena-
I’ve noticed that you use the Revlon Colorstay foundation alot, so i’ve watched your reviews and i’m going to give it a try. I currently use Make Up Forever HD foundation and i love it, but i hate the price tag! I wear #118, so which color in the Revlon Colorstay do you think i would be? or even the Photo FInish? there is one good thing about shopping at Sephora…they match me there in the store so i never go home with the wrong color, but i dont have that luxury at the drugstore. Your color matching expertise would be greatly appreciated! love your work!
P.S. Congrats on the weight loss…im currently battling the bulge myself and seeing you and your success makes me keep on going!
I wish I knew what color foundation- is hard to tell without seeing you, but go to the drugstore and hold up the bottle to your jawline. Whatever color is the closest is a good starting point. You can always exchange or return- just hold on to your receipt
As always, I love the looks you come up with!! I actually tried this today and got compliments, so thank you for that, since you are the inspiration and teacher. I’m loving your hair color and awesome tan, it suits you. Welcome back, you were very much missed…
Hey Marlena! Love the look!
I have a makeup question tough & i hope u can answer it.
I went to the drugstore today and saw the Revlon Colorstay Mineral Finishing Powder & thought it looked exactly like the MAC Skinfinish. Have you ever used it and do you think its a good alternative for MAC’s skinfinish?
Thanks.
You know, I haven’t used that one yet- I would ask in the forum as I’m sure a ton of MUGS have tried it
I tried it, its a bit chalky, and i dont touch my face much and i found that it breaks up after a few hours. i tossed it.
i was wondering what kind of moisturizer do u put on before you put ur makeup ur skin looks real nice and shiny and soft.
My skin is REALLY dry- especially since moving back to Cali. So… I use Clinique’s Night Repair cream as it helps keep my skin moist
Do you use a moisturizer in the am before makeup? My skin is really dry too. Not to mention red and blotchy (Yuck)
So pretty!
Thanks for always putting a smile on my face with your positive energy in all videos.
It’s beautiful as always. I don’t know what I would do without your inspirations. They are what helped me learn how to wear makeup again after many years of not wearing any. I feel so much more confident now, I just wish that I had known how to do this when I was still in school.
Awww- that’s so good to hear! It’s never too late to have fun with makeup
Marlena, do you ever travel to the southern east coast to do any of your work? It would be awesome to see you work.
I go back to Michigan a lot and plan on going to NYC once each year
hi marlene,
xx
i am from germany and this video is not available here. i am wondering why?
love your videos!
I really just do not know how a modeling agency hasn’t scooped you up yet! your gorgeous & i absolutely love this look!
Can you do a tutorial on diet coke?
Wow Marlena – awesome look! I was honestly just hoping yesterday that you would do a new look soon. I haven’t been online the last couple of days, so am really excited to see this new look and give it a whirl over the long weekend. Lucky for me I have some pretty good dups for the colors.
On a side note – you look fantastic girl – CONGRATS!
Hello! I was wondering if you could tell me where I can find the empty palette for the Makeup Forever eyeshadows. BTW, I love you website. After a little off time from trying new things with makeup, you have inspired me to get back to what I love the most! Thank you!
You can order from the MUFE store in NYC- just do a google search for it and give them a call. You can order by phone- you just need to pay for shipping, but you can order anything they sell! (even if sephora doesn’t carry it)
Beautiful summery look! I love the eyes. Great work!
this look is wonderful but i doubt it would do me any favor, must be that you should be confident to pull off any look anyway…love you girl
I LUV THIS VIDEO!! This is a cute look and it has AMAZING colours!! I think you should make a SeXy Pepsi look or a Mountian Dew look. BTW Luv this site!!
Can’t wait to see more!!
~Carmen~
I Just loooove Cherry cola so, i really liked this make up, you are very talented so i’ll keep an eye on you , i have a very pale skin, so im not milky white or yellow just pale LOL so i think all you good material is going to be a big help , thank you! BTW you are Looking hot! I wish i could look like you ! Take care!

Hey I was wondering if you could do a make up look that would be really cute fir like promotion and or graduation? It would mean soooo much!!! (:
can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEAAAASEEE do a look like this one, BUT with MAC products?? http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VBMyJ-IqEf0/Sk118H3gC3I/AAAAAAAAAOM/Ig6W4D9CqV8/s200/010.JPG&imgrefurl=http://icraiz.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html&h=200&w=181&sz=13&tbnid=zZlBloxQnhqfRM:&tbnh=104&tbnw=94&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dmac%2Bhumid%2Beyeshadow&usg=__OX8D053r564QuZuYjRBHrUjkygY=&ei=XKACTMyREYHKNdSZ8Ts&sa=X&oi=image_result&resnum=11&ct=image&ved=0CEYQ9QEwCg <—– (its a dark brown/black smokey look)
love all your vids
very informative. you know …. if you have used the music from Savage Garden’s “I want you” for this tutorial video, it would be super awesome (it’s the chica cherry cola song 
)
I know- that would have been awesome!! Stupid copyright though…. *sigh*
As always, Very Creative and Very Beautiful!
Plus you look great!!!
All your videos are such great inspiration!! THANK YOU!
hey, love your websire. i have a question. MAC studio fix foundation make me brake up alot and i love it cause it covers but i dont want to brake out .. what foundation do u think is good and covers alot. i have a lil dry skin not much . please help me . love annie
I wouldn’t recommend the MAC one if you’re breaking out as it does that to many people
If you want good coverage, try the Revlon Colorstay, but it can be heavy in the summer months.
hey!!!! LOVE YOU WEBSITE AND VIDEOS!!! its awesome!! well i need help, i use MAC studio fix foundation and make me bake out alot. i love the foundation cause it give me great coverage but i want the brake out to stop. what foundation do u think is good and cover up alot with out brakein out? am a lil dry but not much.
i dont care how much the product coust
marelena m big fan ov u ur way of eyemakeup iz awsome…….n dis pinky make up is out class wow
love the pictures!! u are so beautiful marlena i love u so mutch!!
thank you so much
I was just curious what would be the best way to make this look with Mac make up? I have all mac shadows and don’t really want to buy a whole bunch of new shadows. Any help you could give me would be great because I love this look.
I would use these shadows:
-Gesso or Vanilla
-Fig 1
-Passionate
-Sushi Flower
Marlena, you are my favoriteee! i love your videos
. I think you shoudl do sunkist orange soda. With orange eye shadow and since the name is in dark blue you can add some dark blue probably into the crease or something 
)))!! keep it up and you look great chick!!! <3 xoxoxoxo
love,
jazzy !

Hi! Can you please tell me how I can get one of the Sharodan lipstick boxes that you featured in your recent video? I’m in the UK and can’t find one anywhere but their site, and they only ship to the US. That would be the biggest help, thanks! x
Marlena! I totally love this look. Do you think fair skinned tones could pull this off? I have hair color similar to yours and as you USED to be I am pasty white! haha. But I love fun makeup, never boring or dull.
Also do you apply something to your brushes? When I try to do the outer V it seems to never really draw the color on just fall on my cheeks even thought I flick it off!
Do you have any recommendations for moisturizers? For daily use… Not a tinted one. Could you do a review on skin care items?
Sorry for all the questions!!
Love ya!
Also, what is your opinion on sigma brushes?
plz post a tutorial of aishwarya rai (bollywwod actress) cannes 2010 …………
This is super beautiful! I love the color combo! Would you maybe be able to add Orange Crush to your series? That’s my fave soda! Keep up the fantastic work!
Hello, Marlena!, I love this look! I was wondering if you tell me good drug store brands to use that get the look,? I’m using the L’Oréal hip collection, Is there any other ones that last really long, and are kinda cheap?
Btw I LOVE this look! and could you do a pepsi look?
Take care!
Ash!
Great tutorial as always, but I love this one specially but it contains my favorite colors. Coca cola Cherry also sounds great, I’ve never tasted that, we don’t even have it here. Anyway I’m drinking cola and juices only occasionally for more then 2 years now. I’ve accustomed only with still water, when I realized how many calories I must burn jogging only for 500 ml of Cola.
thank u marlena! this look is great!
ps- i love your nails!!
lolo
Hello Marlena, Just wanted to start by saying you amazing and inspiring!! I have a question for you. How do I do my eyes so I dont look asian / cat eye? When I do my makeup, in pictures I always look asian. The makeup looks good I always get compliments but wish It didnt make my eyes look asian.. Any suggestions?
Thank you
Rebecca from Michigan

Hi Marlena,
can´t see your video in my country (/soda-series-cherry-coke-inspired/).It is a pity, I would have a look at it so with pleasure
hi will you make a package of the cherry coke to buy like you did for mug rootbeer thanks
Hi Marlena,
Glad to see you’re BACK with a VENGENCE…LOVE, LOVE, LOVE This look! And like the previous MUG response, my favorite soda pop is Dr. Pepper, would love to see you do that one. As always, thank you for sharing.
I love this look but does it look good on all type of eyes? also will you guys have more of the Mug palettes the colorful one? you guys ran out soo fast! BOOO!
Hi,
does this look go with any type of eye? you know how there r those puffy eyes. Also will you be selling n e more of the Mug eyeshadow palletes u guys r all sold out.
i thought this look would be fabulous w/ my new go-to lipcolor, viva gaga!… i think it turned out pretty well….
Marlena,
Love all of your tutorials! Could you put a kit together for this look like you did for the root beer look? I would love to copy this look for less. Thank you.
Will you do a tutorial on the fake tan you have been doing? It is so natural looking on you. It is so hard to get a natural looking fake tan.
Marlena!!!!! you look fabulous and im not talking about your make up (thats a given!!)! Your face is glowing could it be the new thinner you????
WOW you look amazing!! I am just going thru all the old tutorials finding my wedding look for next January…Thanks for the tips and inspiration!! Ur no1 fan in UK, Francesca ;0)
I just wanted to stop by and say this is a great idea, and i love the colors! makes me want a nice cold cherry coke lol this is definitely a fun look

HEY MARLENA, YOU ARE LOOKING VERY GOOD, IT IS DEFINITELY NOTICEABLE THAT YOU LOST ALOT OF WEIGHT, THAT’S AWESOME!!! YOU HAVE TO SHOW US SOME BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURES, TAKE CARE….KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
What type of fake tan do you use? Do you do it at home or at a salon?? If at home, what kind?
Aloha from Hawaii!
I have been watching your videos for sometime and enjoy all of them. I love this look, because it works so well with my tan.
I was wondering if you have any tips for deep set eyes? I had my makeup done once and the artist said my eyes were deep set. How can I tell and how should I do my eyeshadow?
Aloha and take care!
Beautiful look, i had to try it myself…obv not as good as yours but hey def worth a try!
Hey
what a wonderful look i loved it so i tired it myself, not as good as yours but it was worth a try. Beautiful
Would love to see the vid. But can´t watch it in germany
you are gorgeous! love what you do. go on like that
That look is so cute! You should make a look for the World of Warcraft Mountain Dew Game fuel (blue/purple bottle) The design on the bottle is amazing!
I’ve been following your work recently and you are a major inspiration to me.
I have to add you have lost SO much of weight and you look SO effing gorgeous (NOT like you didn’t before)…. I want your secret! seriously!
I tried your smokey eye look on myself, i guess i didn’t have all the right brushes – but i have ordered them now… and i hope they make a difference… i don’t know how you are so easy with your hand movements… I also find it difficult to line my eyes and well mascara my lashes completely… i always manage to get the corners only
any tips?
CAN YOU DO A VANILLA COKE LOOK? I SEEN A GIRL WHO WANTED IT AND IT SOUNDS INTERESTING. PLEASE CAN YOU DO IT PLEASE PLEASE. THANK YOU.
Luv your tutorials
I did this look with the MAC eye pallet that came out with the Hello Kitty Line, I think it’s called “Too Dolly”
