Gorgeous, Marlena
Hey Muggies, for all you who need the mirror version of this vid to view in your country, I just wanted to let you know that I will have that up soon today
Dear Nicola,
pls also put mirrors of “marlena´s birthday look” and ” look naturally sexy this valentine” up.
We germans can´t watch this vid and transforming them is not possible without paying for it, cause the vids are bigger than 1 GB!
thank you so much for the help. We can´t wait seeing these wonderful tutorials.
Greetings and a big hug from germany
Vanessa
BEAUTIFUL !!!!
Could we possibly get those inexpensive alternatives like Marlena mentioned in her video? I bet a lot of us would be so very grateful! Thank you!
Yess, I agree. Inexpensive products, please;)
Me too please
Me too!!!
Now granted I’m not Marlena, but I have something to say….
the colors she uses in the video are very hard to dupe for me, so to follow the bright, spring, trendy eyes get this NYX palette….

Also, an 88 palette or a 120 palette would work great for bright eyes and really, everyday:)
Hope I helped some
I’m stoked about this trend! I love bright colors. I don’t suppose you could list your inexpensive alternatives?
I love this look. I am hoping to do this look for today. Thanks for all your wonderful eye creations.

Beautiful as always Marlena. How did you get those amazing eyelashes?
greetings from India!.. awesome look Marlena.. Giorgio Armani Fluid Sheer is not available here.. i recently bought MAC’s Rose Ole for highlighting but it only makes the skin look dry (actually flacky)- cause i have a dry skin and the overall impact is all the more dry.. can u suggest any other MAC/Revlon/Loreal alternative for a highlight that is a bit creamy?????
you can try the Smash Box photo-op cream illuminator… it’s sooo gorgeous and great for dry skin… Idk if you have smash box but yeah
hey, i tried revlon age defying illuminator… oooo.. works grt!!!!
LOVE!!
What did you do to get the longer lashes? I have Long lashes but not that long and love how natural they look! Please let us know!!
Wow pretty!
It’s Bat-Oh E-vr-euh
Didn’t know how to explain ivre… Didn’t really find a similare sound in english!
Marlena you are amazing and such an inspiration to me! I have watched every tutorial you have ever done and love them all!!! I am an inspiring makeup artist and just wanted to know if you had any pointers…is an online training course worth the money? And if so which one would you reccomend. <3
Wowwww! So pretty! You are gorgeous, as always:) You are so inspirational!
Beautiful look Marlena!!!
which pencil brush are you using??? I’m looking for someone like your, small and presice.
Thanks
Sol
hi,
beautiful make up again, but unfortunately we can not see your videos from Germany again, you know that, Are your fans regardless from Germany ? i hope not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Manu,
Our German viewers are extremely important to us! I left the very first comment on this post today so that you guys would know it was still going to be posted for you on the mirror site
You will be able to enjoy the video in about 15/20min. Sorry about the confusion. We will always be posting these for you on the mirror site from now on
Awww, Nicola, So sweet
Thanks so much!
I didn’t know how obsessed i was with makeup geek when i lived in MI, Untill a month ago when i moved here to germany and realized none of them worked!
Thank you for everything
<3
Beautiful again! I’m wondering if you can do a favorites video soon?
. I would love to know what
I try to pick up things here and there that you use, and I’m all confused
now with NARS and Tarte being added
primers, foundations, etc. you are loving this spring! Thanks!
haha your so cute! but i agree i would like an update on what is Marlena’s new coveted products, since I havent discovered anything new lately
Are you using Latisse or Lumigen? your eyelashes are super long! it looks great. I have been using it for almost two months now and they are longer but not like that!
Marlena I love this look!! From where are the earrings pls? And also, would you suggest Nars Angelika for medium skin?
Yes, where did you get the earrings? Love them!
Beautiful pictures! Can you please recommend a good highlighter for the face that’s a bit affordable? Thank you!
Hi Marlena!!!
How did you get those amazing eyelashes? They are super long!!
I agree! Absolutely beautiful!!
Awesome eyelashes and she is very pretty too.
your eyelashes are GORGEOUS!!!! How did you get them so long?
Is the tutorial sponsored by Nars? It’s a gorgeous look anyways
I love this look. Thanks Marleena.
This is a really pretty look Marlena, but what I really noticed was your skin. This foundation makes your skin glow. Its really beautiful. Is this a new brand that you are trying? Or have I just not paid attention before? hehe
I do not know if anyone noticed so I must say (giving my age) that in the profile picture Marlena, you looked like a young Elizabeth Taylor. Very pretty. By the Way, my daughter has asked that I request looks from the NYX palette eyeshadows.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute !
Can you do nail tutorials and by the way can you say it is requested by MARYAM8898
I LOVE your earrings!
I love the earrings too!!!! Where did you get them?
i love it!!!!!!!!!! <3 it looks so pretty and you are beautiful
Marlene, mama you are sooooooo gorgeous;-) God bless you always!!! this little MUG here loves you very much;-)
Hi there.
Just wondering if you could list the inexpensive eyeshadow options like you have done in the past please?
Thanks in advance
Wow- pretty. Question? Your lashes have def. gotten much longer than they used to be, what are you using?
hi marlena! with all of your fabulous makeup looks… what moisturizer and/or, more specifically, eye cream(s) do you use??? recently, my eyes have been super sensitive when removing and applying makeup, and i want to make sure i’m giving the skin around my eyes some love! please share your tips
you’re looking fabulous!!
so pretty! can you put up drugstore dupes please?
You look stunning, Marlena! Love this look! I also love your hair in this tutorial! Maybe you can do a tutorial on it
What is the brand of the blush brush you used?
Thanks
You should do more hair tutorials, your hair is beautiful.
Marlena, please please please put up your inexpensive alternatives!!! I want this look so badly and you said you would put them up, but haven’t. I know you are busy, but it would be so appreciated! Please!
hello marlena, can you please post some alternatives to the products you used. I cannot afford the ones used in the vid. thnx:)
and keep up the awsome vids!
Love this look. So Gorgeous yet Simple..
Im a huge fan but, not your best look. Boring.
I don’t understand the negative feedback, it’s not constructive… If you’re not a huge fan of this particular look, why bother commenting? Try something else instead, there are plenty of tutorials to choose from that you might like better.
you are the spring, marlena!
I love this. It reminds me of my Mum in the 80s but far more stylish! Do you have eyelash extensions Marlena? They look great.
Beautiful as always Marlena!! I would love you give a tutorial for dance recital makeup. When your in the stage you have the light directly on you and I’m not sure the amount of make up and colors recomended. Thank you so much and you look wonderful as always.
Marlena…. you looking super sexy in your first pic…. awsome as always
Love it, i my try this look for our easter party reunion, thanks for this wonderful tutorial Marlena!
Hi Marlena,
Loving the brighter shadow colours for your spring (autumn here is Aus I’m afraid!) I just got the UD15 eyeliner set and am struggling to see how I’m gonna use electric, asphyxia and ransom. Can we have a tutorial on using bright coloured eyeliners?
Cheers
Erin
Oooo! Where did you get them from?! I’m in Australia too and I’m struggling to find them online.
Bad new Christy Ebay was the only place I could find them – bit of a rip off compared to what they cost in the US but completely worth it!
It sounds something like “buh-tow eevr” and it means drunk ferryboat (it was Verlaine if I’m not mistaken)…
You’re the best Marlena!
Ok, I’m done with this “miss-know-it-all” attitude, this look is GREAT! As always
Marlena,
Did you get lash extensions? They look great!
I love this look. It is really simple to do and very versatile because it could work with many differenty color combinations. Thank you!
Awesome look!!!!! Love it.
Awesome work! How did you get your eyelashes so long and luscious? Which colors would you use from MAC? Thanks, keep up the great work!
woah baby! look at those lashes! did u use a serum?
I’m wondering the same thing! I hadn’t caught any of her latest videos, but I was blown away by her lashes.
Hi,
BEAUTIFUL look but can’t wait to see the alternatives for shadows that are less expensive than nars.
This is so very pretty,could you plz plz plz put up the birthday look kit up,i so love it as well but i have not been able to see up,or has it been sold out?Hope you are doing well and keep up the good work.See ya.
Hi Marlena!!!
I’ve recently come across your and I have to say I’m totally addicted to it! Your tutorials are amazing! You’ve made me completely fall inlove with makeup, Thank you so much!! This periwinkle colour is so pretty I’m certainly going to try it!
Marlena I suspect you got yourself some eyelash extentions! They look awesome, you always do
I used to fill in my eyebrows with the technique for years. Now I have permenant ones. It was used in a tecnique called Softap, looks awesomely real and I can take my makeup off and go to bed and wake up still with full eyebrows. Just a tip to you or any other of your followers. Softap permenant makeup is the way to go. Like you say hope you are all healthy for spring!
Do you have falsh eyelashes on? If those are natural they are gorgeous!
cheaper alternatives please!!! Loving this look an dying to try it! yay!!!
Hi! Can we know what number lashes… make she is wearing pleaseeeeeeee?????
Gorgeous as always! Love the look! And oh my, the lashes are to die for!!
Love this look. How do you think it would look replacing the blues with greens?
I love love this look!! I have been trying to find a dup for the NARS eyeshadow, but no luck. I think I might have to breakdown and get it
Very pretty look!
Hi Marlena,This is my first comment here but i hv been watching ur makeup videos for a long time now,i love ur color combinations with makeup.I would like to know about the inexpensive makeup brands usually known as The Drugstore Brands.Would be great help if u let me know that.Thanks N Keep Rocking !!!!
Absolutly beautiful Marilena. I really love this look.
Did this look for today and I’m definitely going to be putting up a tutorial for it on my YouTube channel!!!
do you like the Tarte eye primer better than Urban Decay’s?
Hello Marilena I love all your post your so talented. I just watched the movie Burlesque and absolutely feel in love with the makeup. I was wondering if you have considered doing a series of the makeup in the movie. That would be so amazing! Thank you for reading my suggestion! Keep being beautiful and talented!
Love this look! You actually made these bright make up looks wearable as I personally thought they were too bold for me to try! Also LOVE your eyelashes! Are they normally so long? Keep it up!!
Loving your tutorials!!
Hi Marlena!
sorry I was a french major! keep these beautiful looks coming, you look amazing and you always inspire me to dig deeper and do better in my make up!!!
love this look and Love the Nars do you used! it is pronounced “bato eev(re)” basically it means drunk boat or something like that
Where are the dupes listed? i need this look but dont want to buy the nars duos for colors i may only wear once :S
Marlena your lashes look AWESOME!!! please share what you’ve been using! =)
your lashes look so long!!!
Yes Gorgeous look!!But tell us about those beautiful Lashes
I want them lol =)
LOVE LOVE LOOOOOVE this look!!! HAVE to try it!!
I have to try Nars eye shadows… there expensive but apparently they are totally worth the money!
Hey Marlena,
I was wondering how you got your lashes to be so long? Are they naturally that long (and I just never noticed till now)? Did you use some form of lash growth? Maybe it’s just from curling your lashes everyday?
Thanks!
wow love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think this has to be my fav tutorial so far…..this is one I actually think I can do and can pull off the look!! Thanks Marlena
LOVE IT!! Especiall how it makes Brown eyes really pop!
Love this look, but was wondering if you got lash extensions, you didnt put on falsies this time.
Very nice for Spring!!!!!
EYELASHES PLEASE TELL!!!!
Marlena. what’s your fave mascara? Can you recomend any for me? I loev really long lashes, but I dont like using fake lashes.
Hello Marlene,
I was just looking to buy some products from this site and i really like the eyeshadow palette-88 color.
I would like to know the brand names of those colors (i.e., are they from Mac or nyx or something else).
I would also like to know about the colors- which part of colors should be used as brow highlighters, which ones as eye shadows, which ones to give some more dramatic looks….
Can you please give me all the information i asked for.
Thanks,
Swetha.
HOW DID YOU GET YOUR EYELASHES SO LONG??? :O
