Great Looks Marlena.. I´m loving them….
Can you tell me how to minimize the wrinkles under the eyes? Even I´m 21 I have small wrinkles in that area… LOL!!!
Definitely use a good eye cream each day- at night before bed, and in the morning before you apply any makeup. I like Clinique’s All about Eyes creams.
)
Also, be gentle with that area as the skin is super sensitive- try not to apply too much pressure (that’s why I use my ring finger as it’s weak
Marlena which eyeshadow primer do you like best? Urban Decay or Too Faced. Thanks I love watching you and you are so beautiful.
Hi. I have a question. I love your work but when i try it, its not as pretty on me. I am really pale, have blonde hair, and small eyes. is there anything i can do to make my eyes look bigger?
Hi Marlena thank you so much your Tutorial . You look beautiful as always .
OMG so pretty, and “de saison” (some french for you, you’ll need it with your studies XD)
All of the looks are Gorgeous! I have asked Santa for BOSII, and I think he’s going to come through for me. I can’t wait to dig into this palette, the possibilities are endless.
Thank You!
please marlena, tell me how I can choose the right color for my lips.I need some tips.Please.THank you.
If you want natural looking lips, go for colors that are close to your natural lip color but maybe 1-2 shades darker/brighter. You can wear either pinks, peaches, rose, reds- it depends on what eyeshadows you wear. If you go dramatic with the eyes, try to keep the lips “low key”
hi marlena your website inspires me alot…. Im thinking of making a website for teen girls and its going to be more than just makeup but i think it will be cool thanks for your inspiration.
Love,
cece
THANKS A LOT !
I’m going to have this palette for Christmas, so that’s going to help me a lot ! Nice looks ! Especially the first one !
OH MY GOD!! all those looks are just great! you look s t u n n i n g! I’ll surely try those all out! Thanks so much for comparing the NYX brushes with the mac ones, so now I can place my final order at MUG store
LOL about the panda! HYYYYYAA! Go for it! Greetings
Great looks, i have this palette on my christmas list . Look foward to creating some great looks as have you xx
What is the brand of the gel liners?
I know that they are the gel liners that Marlena sells in the MUG store, and I think you can find them on eBay or coastalscents.com. Hope this helps!
yep
OOooohh, I love the musical drama in the beginning. VERY cool. You rock, Marlena!!
Love the smokey eye and nude lip look with UD BOS II! amazing and beautiful!!
Hi Marlena,
It seems to me that this tutorials were rush. I love it when you take your time and when you are happy. I am please to see when you explain things. Since I am not a professional like you are it realy helps when you go step by step. The more we hear your explanations the better we are going to get. Thank you for taking the time to teach us how to look more beautiful every day. Since Christmas is coming up can you do a nice look for Christmas! Well, hope you have a wonderful week.
I’ll definitely do some of the “old style” videos- just had to rush a bit with this one to get the 3 looks in one video
It won’t let me watch it!!
Hey Marlena!
Love your tutorials!!!!!
I just had a quick question, I have dry skin and I break out from time to time, and I don’t like wearing foundation…what would you recommend?
Keep it up doll!
xoxox
Try to find a good moisturizer for dry skin- it may help prevent the breakouts. You don’t necessarily have to wear foundation- you could use just concealer on any “problem” areas that you want to cover. You could also do a tinted moisturizer.
Thanks gorgeous!!!!! My next question would be: What concealer would you recommend? LOL…! I bought this yellowish concealer for my undereyes, however, it always creases!!! so frusterating, I stopped wearing it since I became paranoid wondering how it looked all the time….
I also watched your earlier video where you were telling us why you haven’t been making videos….just wanted to say, stay strong….ALL guys are either liars or pigs…! So there’s no winning situation.
Thanks for everything doll! xoxo
HI MARLENA BEAUTIFUL VIDEO JUST LOVE IT……..
Hi marlena
Gorgeous looks, all of them but i couldnt watch the 3rd look as ur video pause rite after u start putting the perversion shadow on.i tried playing it few times and facing the same problem Anyone else had the same problem?How can i finish watching the third look?
Is it still giving you problems? Hopefully it works ok now…
me 2
im so happy that you did these looks i have been waiting for a tutorial on the bos ll since ive purchased it about a month ago
Love the looks! Now I definitely want that palette!
Lol. You look fantastic as always!
Hey Marlena!
These looks are all so beautiful, I have a ? for the gold one, would MAC Brushed Metal X Cream Shadow in Gold Spice work as the base? I hope you can respond. thanks so much! You’re the BEST and you look amazing. :~)
I have a tough time with the Metal X creams, I have the dark purple shade, and can’t get it to work…It’s so dry and stiff. It was suggested to me that I trade it in lol
yes- it should work
Anything gold tinted underneath will help the gold eyeshadow to pop more
Hey Marlena,
Super excited about these looks. LOVE LOVE LOVE the gold! The only thing Is I am also having a really hard time watching the video. The third look stops and no matter how hard I try..it will not let me view it.

Hey marlena, great looks, but how come every time you use Coastal Scents products or the Manly palette, you never mention it? You always only say “88 pallette”. A lot of people have no idea what you’re referring to so could you say it from now on? And also put it on your website and sidebar on youtube too pls. I really don’t understand why you never say the name…no offense…not trying to be rude but yeah. I mean the only reason why I know what you’re talking about is because I’m really into makeup and I’ve been watching your tutorials for long enough to know.
Very good point
The only reason I don’t mention the specific name is many companies sell them, so the name on the palette may be different depending on where you bought it from… Sometimes the palettes are called “manly” or “wales” or “coastal scents” , etc…
Nicely done! All 3 looks are gorgeous. I love your creativity!
Marlena- Let me tell you how awesome you are… I just opened my sephora order which arrived today and my BOS II was in there so I decided to come check out what looks you have done and to my surprise you just posted these looks! You ROCK! Thank you!!!
hi Marlena,
I’m a new fan, and you’re site is so much fun.
I would love to see you discuss eyebrows – shaping, color, etc.
thanks,
H
hi marlena i love this tutorial i have a quick request can u plz make a tutorial n use only drug store product plzzzzz from concealer to lipstick plz marlena cuz i cant afford that expensive makeup and i want that my makeup looks good like urs help me out thanx
very good idea! I’ll see what I can do
It still won’t let me watch it :•{
Great look
Urban decay palettes rock….next on my list of must have…..
NYX is the bomb for thoose of you who don’t know & VERY INEXPENSIVE DOWN TO THE BRUSHES…you heard that from a mac only wearer
I am hesistant about the 88 coastal palette so I ordered th NYX 78 for $25-$30
For those of us that have any type of industry license (makeup artist…cosmetologist..skin etc)…NYX does give a discount to us…YEAH!
Great Looks for sure!! Love them and the Kung Fu Panda!! Ha Ha!!! My girls liked it too!!! God Bless.
Hey Marlena-
Love these looks!!! They are fast and easy!! Your my favorite makeup guru out there!! I wanted to share an awesome and inexpensive makeup brush I’ve come across!! You can find it at Target, it’s there Studio Tools line. It’s the one that says “smudge”. I use this one to pat my eyeshadow on my lids. It works great!!! It subs as the MAC 239 and its way cheaper. Less than $3.00!!!! Girls, I highly recommend it!!!!!!! Marlena, please pass this along!!!
really?? I’ll have to go get one to try- I’m tired of spending big moola on my 239′s (even though they work great, they add up after awhile
another great alt is the “leow-cornell 270 maxine’s mop” in 3/8 size it is white goat hair, same size, same density, same taper, everything! and its only 2 bucks! any fine arts supply will have it. or order online
Gorgeous! I don’t know if I’ll be able to wait out until Christmas to get this!
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!! u r just so awesome!!!
Thanks Marlena!! I have this palette and sometimes I don’t know what to do with it because there’s so many options!!
Thanks for the help
Hi Marlena,
I’m from UAE so far away from you and I love your tutorials. They are so great. I learnt alot from you and I’m so grateful for what you do. you can’t imagine how much I learnt from you. I really used to be so confuse about the cosmetic products or how to use the brushes and how to put makeup. It was one of my happiest days when I found one of your tutorials in youtube.com. you inspired me so much. I can’t thank you enough. you’re such a lovely person and you really made me feel like a real woman:)
I wish you all the best in your career and I hope that all your wishes become true.
Best Regards,
Wishes
Hi Marlena,
Those looks are so pretty. However, I don’t think i could get the dramatic black look. Since my eyes are so small. Anyway, I went to Sephora yesterday, and they were out of the book of shadow palette. Could you let me know what are the NYX Dupes for these look? I would like to be able to wear them during my trip next week. Thanks!
Here’s my closest guesses for NYX dupes
Black
Peach Bronze or Fantasy
Frosted Lilac
Princess Pink
Deep Purple (not a great match, but the closest I can think of)
Love The looks you are the greatest!
[u][b]WARNING!! THEY’RE RUNNING OUT OF BOOK OF SHADOWS VOL. II!!![/b][/u]
Spent the morning trying to get another BOS v.2 for a gift. Sephora.com is out of stock. So is Macy’s and Urban Decay’s websites. According to a manager at my local Sephora, all of the brick and mortar stores are running low too. I called Urban Decay and the Customer Service Representative said that since the BOS v.2 is a limited edition, they won’t be manufacturing any more. According to her, all that is left is what’s available at the individual stores around the country and once that’s gone, that’s all folks.
Thanks for letting us know. I have it but the colors are so awesome that I will run and get another one. (of course I need to hide it from my husband Im spending too much on make up
) Some Jc penneys have sephora stores in it. You could try there.
LOVE all of these! I was wondering if you could do a dark/sexy prom look. I have dark blue eyes so browns and blacks work better than pinks and greens on me. Thank you for all of these! You are wonderful for sure
Hi Marlena,
Hope all is well. Love the looks…ABSOLUTELY gorgeous! And I love the sense of humor
It looks like you’ve lost some weight in your face, or is that the makeup trickery? Either way, you are looking beautiful as always. Thank you for sharing.
Also, awhile back I was having problems viewing the videos and discussed this with Nick but he didn’t know what the problem was. It took a few tries but I figured out that my problem was the ADOBE FLASH PLAYER and had to go to their web page and re-install. I hope this helps the other viewers. I know I get aggrivated when I can’t view your tut’s
Until next time…Take Care
Ulta.com still has the Urban Decay Book of Shadows vol2….hope this helps
They are offereing free shipping on purchases over $25.oo using this code:33069
Wow so beautifull looks… I am a big fan yours tutorials, everyone idea is great but the most I love arabic look… and I have a small dream that you some day make a new arabic make up beacuse I knew all from gallery and It will be very nice to see something new also It is very important for me beacuse I will have in my family wedding and I want show everybody wonderfull make up…..
I loved these! Especially diffusing the black smokey eye with brown and a glittery beige.
The “surprise” humor almost made me spit my water all over the screen
Marlena, the world is a better place with you in it… love your tutorials –one of the highlights of my week!!!
Marlena!
I absolutely loved te last look! you keep doing beautiful things! Do you think I can make that work with light green eyes?? I have the feeling that maybe its going to be a little hard… please answer me!!
PS: I know its silly but I totally LOVE YOUR NOSE!!
Yes- it will work
Just try them and see which one you like best with your eye color 
These looks are amazing!!!! You look absolutely stunning! I’m going to need to invest in more makeup brushes and lots of practice!
Marlena – Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for doing different looks. The pallet has lots of potential. You should be a model. You are stunning!
They are great! Would you create some looks using BOS II that are more for everyday? With two young kids I don’t get out much… but love to have a new look everyday for work!
Thanks!
OK, so I wore the purple look to work today, but am very self-conscious that it is a little too much at a school! Am I just over sensitive?
I think it would be ok- if you ever want to wear color but don’t want it to be too much, wear the color with a neutral to tone it down some
Hello Marlena,
Thanks for another awesome tutorial, you’re a very good teacher and I love learning from you. Also, I want to say something just for the record. I’m not meaning to knock another viewer’s comments I just wanted to offer another point of view.
It doesn’t matter if you rush through a video or if you take your time, everything you offer on Make-up Geek.com whether it’s a video of techniques, recommendations, your views about products, an update of your life or tour of your personal studio, we are fortunate to have you share with us and appreciate your professional input.
Keep it up for as long as you will! You are AMAZING (beautiful, talented and giving) !!
Happy Holidays, Kathy
Hey Marlena,
I find your tutorials so helpful, thank you so very much. I am an up and coming make-up artist and I love watching your work. The only problem that I have is that my skin is completely oily and as a result my make-up doesnt last as long as I would like becasue it smears. I have primer and a pressed powder that I use daily, but to no avail…THEY DONT WORK!! What is a girl to do??? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
what primer are you using? Try using an oil mattifier as your primer. If the makeup is still sliding pretty badly, try the Model in a Bottle as it helps keep makeup on longer
I got so excited because you wrote back (lol). Thank you so very much. I am actually using bare minerals Prime Time oil control foundation primer from sephora.
Hi, Yolie
I have oily skin, too and I was introduced to a product they sell at Sephora and Ulta. It’s a bit expensive ($42.00 for a 1.35 fluid oz. tube) but so worth it and a little goes a long way. The brand is Cosmedicine and the product is called Medi-Matte Oil Control Lotion SPF 20. It comes in a clear and tinted formula. You put it on after you moisturize and before your regular face primer. It makes your pores invisible! I apply it to only my most oily areas like nose, forehead and chin. I love it and it kept my makeup on even in the hot summer (I live in Southern California!). If you want to try it before you buy it, both places are really great about giving you healthy sized samples. Hope this helps 
Stay gorgeous!
Hey Marlena! I absolutely LOVE these looks and love this palette! You are great! I did a look today using Jinx, Flipside and Sellout with the NYX jumbo eye pencil in Pacific as a base. I got sooo many compliments on it. I love the pigmentation in these shades! I didn’t think the tutorial was rushed at all and that Kung Fu panda joke was too funny!!!
By the way, I wanted to say thank you to you for inspiring me to take my love of makeup to the next level. You are a great teacher!
malena i love you so much! and not only for your great makeup, but because your personality bubbles out and flows into my heart, and i carry it through out the day. and that amazing feeling shines through me all day long. i just wanted to let u no that the kind words and your loving voice get me through those days when nothing goes right. i know you have many fans and this letter is probalbly one of the many you receive, but these words and thoughts are sraight from the heart. i love you marlena and just wanted to say thanks for being a 14 year olds everyday hero. have a beautiful week full of joy and happiness <3
joyfully,
Logalade
Love love love your looks…. completely awesome!
Hey,
LOVE THE TUTORIAL!!!, I am going to go out and buy this pallet 2morw!!!
Question: What brand were the gel liners???
Dimple
XxX
the gel liners are by coastal scents- you can get from http://www.coastalscents.com or from the makeup geek store
hmmm… i think ill do the first look tomorrow. love it! keep up the awesome! and i think ill do the second look the day after tomorrow
Oh my gosh!! I love the looks!! I love them all, but the ones I think I would be able to pull off are 1 and 3. Good job:) you are so beautiful
Loved this video and whats odd is that one of my good friends came over today about an hour after watching your video and brought me my belated Bday present (bday was a few weeks ago) and she got me Urban Decay Books of Shadows Vol 2 lol
So now I get to try out these looks
Hi Marlena, I’m So Glad To Finally See a Tutorial With The Book Of Shadows II, I Had Mine Since It 1st Came Out (I Love It So Much!) And I Was Waiting Too See What You Come Up With, I Really Love All Three Of The Looks You Did, They Were Really Beautiful! Very Amazing Job!! And I Cannot Wait To Try Them Out!!
My Favorite Was Look 3, But I Want To Try The 1st One With The Gold For Christmas And I Was Wondering What You Thought About a Red Lip Color With That Look And Which Red Would Look Best, I am Fair Skin And Have Really Dark Almost Black Hair…
Would Love To See What You Think, Take Care & Blessings To You Always,
Jazz~
Red lips I think would be ok- a cool toned red lipstick would be pretty since you have dark hair and fair skin. I’m thinking mac’s russian red or even NYX Gardenia
Awesome!!! I ‘ve just bought this palette thank you very much Marlena, my favourite is def the last one, I just love my smocky eyes
hi, to do the same looks with mac shadows?? tell me please the mac shadows, thanks
Here’s my best guess for mac dupes:
Carbon
Satellite Dreams
Shale or Plum
Swish or Pink Freeze
Amberlights
Mulch
Era (not sure)
Hi Marlena, are the gel liners the same as coastal scents gel liner? They look the same, I have already the black one. After seeing your tutorial I need some more! On your shop they are cheaper =)
yes- they are coastal scents ones
Thanks, Marlena, for the lovely looks! I love how you gave us three new looks using just one palette. Your tutorials are my favorites! You are so pretty and so helpful, and I’ve learned so much from watching your videos.
Do you have any suggestions for some NYX dupes for the Mac colors you use?
Thanks!
My lips get dry and cracked with creases whenever I apply concealor with lip gloss over them….. do u know if there is another product out there to help achieve this look? I’m Italian also, and my lips are very bright with nothing on them.
apply a lipbalm right before you put the concealer on to help it not dry out or cake up as much, and use just a LITTLE bit of concealer
Ericka
You might want to try this… I use a lip stain first, (I love UD and Benefit) you would need a stain that is closer to nude for the particular look you are trying to achieve, or maybe no stain at all….
Anyway what I found that works wonders for dry, cracked or just lined (mature) lips is:
1) a lip stain color of choice;let it dry completely.
2) Salley Hansen LINE FIX Lip Repair; let it set.
3) A fabulous gloss; I LOVE UD Pocket Rocket Lip Gloss in “JULIO”
Once you try it, it isn’t time consuming because it stays on for hours and hours. Plus it FEELS GREAT!
Love to know if it works for you !
buona sorte !
Marlena,
I’m going to my winter prom this month and I was wondering if you could recommend a look for me!! (My dress is purple)
Thanks!!!!
xoxo
That was an awesome tutorial! You are truly talented!
I really love the Urban Decay products but i also love using NYX too. I was wondering if there was anyway that you could dupe the UD products with NYX?
Thank you so much!
Hi Marlena!
First of all great great tutorials! The looks are so pretty.
I would love to try look 3 but I have a really hard time keeping liner on my waterline. It smudges to the outer corner and just never stays smooth. I tried putting a shadow on under my eye but it didn’t work. My eyes are so oily! What else can you recommend for keeping that liner where it belongs?
Thank you so much! Keep up all the great work I LOVE your site.
Hey Marlena – first I just want to say I LOVE all the tutorials you have done and I just placed an order for some NYX products (from your site) to see what I can do on my own !!
)
Secondly – I went back thru all of the turtorials but could not find the one on how to apply fake lashes. Ive never even tried doing fake lashes, but I think it would be fun.
Last but not least, is there any way you could do a tutorial on applying makeup from the start. Like a clean moisturzed face – nothing on. It sounds kinda stupid Im sure – but I always get confused about the process
I really appreciate all of your helpful hints – and cannot wait for your next tutorials.
Thank you !!!!
Hi Marlena,
I’ve been a fan of yours for a while and often visit to get some quick tips or a new look. I am a true makeup geek freak! I’m building my collection of shadows, slowly but surely!
Now whenever my family sees me they have to check out my eyes or my husband asks “so what does makeup geek call this look”. I usually come and go with no comments, but one of your videos really caught my attention and I felt inspired to leave you a message.
You strike me as a very real person and very likeable to me and the rest of your viewers. You mentioned losing weight and becoming healthier, I wish you lots of success, it is an on-going challenge and a lifestyle change.
I too have a vested interest in my health and inner beauty just as equally to my outer beauty…My husband and I have a website about just that. My site is very new and we are still adding to it, everyday. My plan is to eventually get it Google approved and have links with related content added to it. I welcome you to check it out at totallybeautifulyou.com!
In one of my links titled “mai tips” I reference makeup geek and added a direct link to your site… the Monistat Chaffing Gel works wonders as a primer when you need it to, thanks!
MUGGY FOR LIFE!!
Hey! your looks are marvelous sweetheart! I just have one question. What foundation and powder product do you use?
Thnkx

Hi Marlena,
I hope that you can answer my question. ok my question is what type of foundation do you recommend for when there are a lot of breakouts in the face and how can i cover them? thanks

HEEEELLLP ANYBODY
Hi Marlena thank you for teaching the method to use different colour of eye shadow. It’s fun to learn it especially from you.
I loooove the look:D
i was wondering if maybe you could do some looks with the 120 manly palette?
Keep up the great work[=
Marlena …… You are DANGEROUSLY CUTE! xxxx .. Look number 3 does it for me, really suits you.
Hi Marlena! I can thank you enough for these tutorials
Tomorrow will be my BD and my mother bought me a purple sweater and your purple makeup came just in time. I also got the Pigment from Illamasqua in Android which is a sparkling black shade and I’m going to combine that color with some of the browns from my Smoky Eye palette from Too Faced. You look gorgeous btw with the black makeup.
Amazing job Marlena! I recently got this pallette but didn’t know where to start so thank you! LOVE the looks, especially the dark one! Please Please Pllleeeeeasse do a few more looks using this pallette even if they are altogether like in this vid, if you could do a brown smoky eye and whatever else you like yourslef using this pallette I would be soooo grateful! Am very broke at the mo and may not be getting a lot of make up this christmas so more looks with this pallette would be soooo appreciated! Thank you!!! You are amazing!
Also, have you used the bobbi brown chrome pallette and what did you think of it if you have? My friend is thinking of getting it xx
I Ioved all three of yourooks but my favorite was the second look. I have a daughter that is 15 and is crazy about make up. Could you please do some tutorials for girls around her age.
LOVE IT!!!!! Especially the smokey eyes with the nude lips. It’s a very sexy look. I’m not brave enough to do it in a matte black but I’ll try in a grey shade. Thanks for doing the tutorials. I’m addicted to your website!
Please MARLENA I need YOUR HELP, my eyes are similar to yours, can you tell me the description of your eyes?(big,small,round,hooded eyes…)It is very useful for me.
i love these looks i need ur help i was wondering if one .. do u have the too faved majestic collection and if so i have the pallet and am so lost in the ideas for a look for this plz help!
Hi Marlena,
Just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to post these tutorials. Sharing your knowledge and creativity of makeup is so generous of you. I love, love, love these 3 looks, and I am so happy I purchased this palette. I am definitely going to try these looks, again thanks sharing. =)
P.S. You are such a beautiful woman!!
These are all so pretty! I especially looooove the sexy dark one! I can’t wait to try this one out… it’s so nice! And you are SOOOOO gorgeous!!!!
Thanks Marlena for this great tutorial. You make MU so accessible and easy to do for EVERYONE!! love your positive spirit and it shows through on your beautiful videos!
I could never get the smokey eye to go right for me, but I also never thought of using browns in with black to give it a little dimension. Thanks for the helpful tips and techniques, will jump right on it and try it out for this holiday season.
hey marlina these videos re really nice love the way u do makeup nd i have one request for u which i have been logging for pls do any neutral or light eyeshadows videos cause my hubby love very light makeup nd can u pls tell me which kind of foundation suits me as i m an indian skin toned irum from india
Hey Marlena I need advice for makeup! (as we all do from you!
) (PS I love the 3 looks above and am watching your video right now! 
)
plus i heard the stickers make your eyelids sag in the future)
1. I am an asian monolid (and I LOVED that green champagne look you did for monolid–still need to try it looking for a nice champagne eyeshadow) with SOME days (it’s always random I can’t figure out why it happens) tiny peeping double eyelid. Is there any way to put on eyeliner and make show without having to do a 1-inch heighted gel liner? Or should I just stick to eyeshadow? (I’m pretty tired of every makeup artist who sticks stickers on my eyes to make it double. I mean sure it makes my eyes pop/larger but why can’t I like my monolid the way it is?
2. I also want to ask about lip colors too–they’re hard to pick! I don’t know some of them look so clown-y (like these cherry-pinks). I live in Taiwan so its hard to find red lipstick–I think asians look good with red because of the contrast with black hair but no one wears red lipstick here. Do you have any other advice? I’m not perfectly white-skinned asian I’m a normal golden-yellow undertones asian.
3. FOUNDATION–I recently went through the whole acid process and it cleared my skin up almost entirely, but now I’m scared to use any foundation on my face because I’m scared it will break out. I used the Neutrogena noncomedogenic skin-clearing makeup (with salycilic acid) but it’s not very sheer it turns kind of cake-y–any other foundations you recommend? Also, any bases?
I’d really appreciate your help because I go through everyday makeupless and I want to have some fun after all the money I spend on all these eyeshadows and eyeliners etc.
Thanks!
-Blaize
LOVE love LOVE all your makeup techniques and photos. i just started watching you on youtube, and in the bombshell video, you said you weren’t saying that you thought you were a bombshell you were just imitating the make up – WELL, HONEY GIRL, YOU ARE A BOMBSHELL! Totally hott
Absolutely gorgeous 
)))))
Please MARLENA I need YOUR HELP, my eyes are similar to yours, can you tell me the description of your eyes?(big,small,round,hooded eyes…)It is very useful for me.
MARLENA! Thank you SO much for doing this tutorial! I’ve been waiting so long for one on the BOS II! Oh & my favorite part was def the kung fu panda part lol. Thank you for being awesome
Marlena!
Thank you soooo much for the darker look! I’ve been having so much trouble trying to do the smokey eye and I was just doing my colors in the wrong order! TAHNK YOU THANK YOU THANKYOU!!!!!

Hi Marlena:
I am so into makeup and I’ve been watching your tutorials for a LONG time now I love your techniques!! You are such a pretty girl…I’ve never commented on any of the videos before until now. I have some questions. I love applying makeup and I do pretty well at it but I have a couple really weak spots that I thought you may be able to help me with…I have such a tough time doing the “outer v” part of my eye…is there a certain brush I should be using I have a small pencil dome brush but even then it seems I can’t get it to blend well and it ends up looking very messy. Also I’m very interested in buying some MAC makeup brushes do you know of anywhere that sells kits for a pretty good price?
Thanks so much and keep up the excellent work I enjoy watching your videos so much,
Sara
Beautiful!!!!

hey!! i’m trying to find a Makeup Palette… were i can buy it …. in a store
I always love your looks, but omg I always mess up a lot when I do them myself,
specially the dark looks I have to do them 2 or 3 times, they never come up right the first time
Your tutorials help a lot though
Thanks Marlena
Hey Marlena, great job with these looks but could you tell me what colors look good with brown eyes?
Thanks.
Hi Marlena!
Tomorrow I get this wonderfull palette and I was searching after lookgs on G**GLE. That is how I arrived by you. Your video is great and those 3 looks are so gorgeous! I adore ^^
- Are the gel liner essential? Could I have good results without them?
- I have only 1 brush and I would like to buy some for the eyes. I think it is highly recommend, isn’t it? I’ve had a look at your store and see that you sell many brushes.
Could you adviced me? What are the essential ones? NYX? 2 or 3?
I search a good value for money and the MAC brushes are really to expensives for me.
Many thx in adv.
I hope that my english was not so bad
I take the opportunity to send you my best wishes for this new year.
silly question but I love the floral in your hair, where can I get one
I LOVE the gold one!! Thank you for these, I love your tutorials <3
Hi guys, I have alot of trouble doing my make up as I’m not very skilled and only started recently, I love the looks in magazines and found recently tutorials on http://www.youtube.com/pixi2woo. its really good, the make up artist is quite young so puts modern looks on and uses quite expensive make up but often recommends cheaper alternatives – good if you’re like me and on a student budget xxxxx
Marlena, you are gorgeous and super talented.
I’m ordering a Mac 32 piece brush set off the internet, your videos are an addiction! Keep it up! You genius, you.
Three looks from one palette, I think I speak for everyone when I say we’re dayum impressed, girl!
Hi, my name is Monica and of course, you already know that you rock. And i just wanted to ask you if you could do another tutorial on this palette but using jink, flipside or homegrown, i really like these ones. Thanks
