The way you present yourself while you’re teaching is so intriguing to me and draws me in. I’ve been doing makeup for almost 2 decades and I’m still here listening as if I don’t know a thing. That’s artistry on your end 👏🏼👏🏼

I am glad I am not the only one. LOL I love to hear what she has to say. I always learn something. She is an awesome teacher as well

I am a retired teacher, and you are a master at teaching! At 61 and a huge lover of makeup since age 16, I still learned new facts and techniques!! I also use two primers on different areas of my face, a pore filling one on my nose and chin, and a “sticky” one every where else. I think you should change your channel name to Professor Marlena!

This is the ONLY makeup video you need, seriously. And I appreciate Marlena’s candor and charm.

I love your videos, Marlena! You make me laugh, you're an excellent teacher and you make things so easy to understand. You're beautiful too ❤

Ahhh thank you for saying you don’t need concealer. I get a weird look from my young relatives when I say I don’t use it 😅 I don’t have dark circles and I don’t like adding more makeup if I don’t need it.

Really enjoyed this. Never heard the tip about matching the viscosity of the foundation to the appropriate tool. Thank you.

It did make perfect sense. I have felt my sponge was soaking up my foundation. So, I probably was using wrong one on those days.

Finally, someone who addresses undertones! I’m cool toned and if any warmth touches my face I look ill. Marlena this video is sooooo good. Thank you so much. On a different note, I really miss your fragrance videos. Would you consider doing one? You’re so good at the descriptions for scent profiles. ❤

Hi! Can I ask what bronzers work for your skin tone?

I am going to start saying contour the same way as you. You make it sound classy and well, I’d also like to sound classy.

I'm not a beginner but I always learn something from you! Love you!

I'm good at makeup, and I've been doing it for about as long as you. You and I are about the same age so a long of what you talk about is really relevant to me and I respect the way you communicate so I watch your episodes often. I clicked on it to rewatch some old tips as a kind of back to basics moment at the New Year. THIS IS A FANTASTIC! WELL PRESENTED! PRODUCT relevant tutorial that I will eat for a few days and then implement. Thank you. Great job!

Love lip glosses, thank you Marlena for this video and very happy new year

Love love love your channel. I feel that you give us legit information with sincerity. Thank you so much! ❤️❤️

Thank you for this video, Marlena! I love your personality! You convey your expertise and authority on the topic, if you will, yet with grace and kindness! I love watching you! ❤

Thanks for these videos Marlena. They are informative and you share your personality with us.

Thanks, Marlena. Love this video. I learn a lot, in a couple of minutos. Happy New Year for you and your family.

Such a great video Marlena! Love these❤️

Yay!!! I’ve missed your tutorials 🫶🏻❤️

This! This is why I started following you. You are an excellent teacher. Thanks for doing this. I appreciate you so, so very much !

Love your tips and tricks! THANKS!

New subbie and i thought i knew a thing or two, and i realize thats ALL i knew! Binge watching your shows, made my learning curve punch a hole in the roof!!! WOWIE!!! This is perfect!❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thank you for the great tips. Your video was amazing 🤩 I always learn something new.

Thank you MARLENA! Happy New Year Beautiful! xoxox

Another smash hit. I'm looking forward to starting a make brand. I would love your mentoring and professional advice. Would be glad if I could get a more private forum to discuss with you. Many thanks. You are an inspiration!

This was very helpful for bronzer placement. I tried it today. Thank you🎉

You’re one of the best channels for makeup. Great work, enjoy watching.

My Prada foundation and the eyeshadow quad in Poetry arrived this week. I am completely obsessed!! 🤩 I’ll definitely be purchasing more of the quads. 💜

I am glad I found you! Your video is so informative and detailed. Thank

I wish I could give you a great big hug Marlena!! The tips will be so useful and I will feel more confident knowing the advice came from you. ❤

That Colour pop bay shade is gorgeous. I’d never look at that in the pan and think you’d get such a beautiful purple tone. Gorgeous and then that pop of Huda shadow topped it off beautifully.

Great video Marlena! ❤ could you please do a video on soft glam vs glam makeup? Thank you so much, appreciate your time and effort ❤

Bravo ❤ This is Excatly what we need to learn about ! Such usefull information about undertones 👏 i really appriciate this and learned a lot ! A huge Thanks Marlena , you are a gift ❤❤❤

I’m getting colorpop bae for sure!! I need that one and done perfect shade! Thank you Marlena!

Lots of good tips in this one. Thanks for including undertone. So important. Probably could have used a little more info on concealer for the beginners. Keep up the awesome videos! ❤❤

Wow I'm almost 40 and I've been doing makeup for years like ever and been to cosmetology school, but, I learned a few lil tricks and ones that will work, I just have to say I absolutely love the eyeshadow trick paired with the top liner trick omg I'm definitely trying that today!!! Thank you Marlena!

I have learned so much from you. Thank You for taking time out to teach us.❤😊

❤great tips! Yes I’m going to be 40 soon and my skin has def shifted. So my application has been minimal too

So many amazing tips!! I have to try some of these ❤❤❤

Thank you for the makeup tips. I went out and bought the primer and setting spray you talked about in this video 🎉

Marlena I can’t tell you how over the moon I am that you are back to doing makeup tuts and education!! I’ve been with you since you used to do videos in your bedroom with that black and white damask backdrop behind you 😂- I loved your MUG cosmetics line! I have almost every color single shadow you ever made! Now that that line closed I’m holding onto them because now they’re a collector’s item! 😂 I can’t wait to see what up and coming in 2024 from you! Whatever you do its always fantastic! Love you! ❤

Great, simple, informative video! I’m from outside of Chicago so we say contour like “cahn-tour”!

I’m about to turn 50 and aging finally started catching up with me these last couple of years. Especially as I’ve lost weight. I started going with the “less is more” approach, like you’ve shown us. I “bronze-tour” as well! 😂 Now I know what to call it! You’re beautiful and I love your techniques! I’ve been following you for many years! ❤

Great tips Marlena 😃🥰👍🏻Happy New Year to you and family🥳🎉😃🤗 Texas Lady

Thank you for very informative video! Oh I missed your tutorials...

Thank you for your videos, they are so informative.

Love these beginner videos! 🌸

I'd love you to do a video about older techniques, not often mentioned now, and your take on them. Using small triangular latex sponges or fingers for foundation. Bronzing all over face to look more tanned (early 2000s). Lip primers or foundation over lips before lipstick. Concealer under foundation. I'd also love to see a video on bulletproof makeup. What shadow application never creases, how to get lipstick to stay (powdering, layers?), keep foundation smooth on nose.

L❤VE your vibe, your brilliant teaching & sharing your expertise! I'm going to look through your videos on best skin prep for over 40, roseascia dry to normal skin. Is sunscreen, then moisturizer then a primer? That sounds like a lot. AND I need a holy grail product to fill deeeeeeep smile lines. Or an application technique that won't accentuate them. So grateful for your content & spunk.

Very informative, please do more! ❤❤❤

As an actual teacher and science fan who doesn’t have the time to put into researching make up and the science behind tailoring it to myself… you are BY FAR the best tutor I’ve ever watched. And I’ve only watched 2 of your videos so far. Great explanations of everything! ❤ eyeshadow is probably the most daunting for me and you made it look sOoOo simple.

This was great! Thank you!

Learned a lot! Appreciate you!

My son's getting married this summer and I would love to hear tips for wedding makeup and wedding photos!

Stunning!! Thank you for these tips!! I agree about the lash curler- is there a difference in an eyelash curler? I saw Kevin Aucoin was an award winner and was curious about your thoughts.

Love your tips. I've improved my makeup looks because of you. Love your blouse, too.

It’s my fave!

I used a easy, inexpensive drugstore lash curler the other day, just to see, and it really does make a huge difference when you can take the extra 2 minutes. I have pretty nice lashes naturally but dang it really does make a huge difference to wear the lashes can be seen standing up!

Thank you so much Marlena! I love when you do these kinds of videos! So so helpful! I need all I can get. Its very therapeutic! I appreciate you and your content. I am hooked on Melanie Mills setting spray now! I bought a back up can just in case! Thank you for the recommendations! I want to see more like this! 🫶🫶💯💯

You are an amazing MUA. I have learned a lot from you. I wish I could find a liquid foundation that works for me. I have tried so many and they all look horrible. I hate the feeling of it on my skin and it never looks like skin no matter what they say.

Absolutely loved this video sooooo helpful ❤

You are the makeup queen !!!👑 thankyou for allowing your natural beauty to shine through and down to earth advice that makes women feel comfortable in their own skin!! You actually teach us how to use the product which is super helpful! So grateful for your wisdom Marlena🙏💓

Your videos are so educational when it comes to understanding products and makeup techniques. I do wish you had listed the brands/names of the products you applied in this video. I am interested in knowing about the crème eyeshadow. Most cremes or sticks that I’ve looked at are too glittery for my old lids.

Thank you so much for your knowledge and your wisdom. I appreciate you.

Very informative, i really like to contour with a bronzer, thanks.

Marlena, I love all of your videos so much. I am having a problem with glitter!!! I used the glitter glue but still ends up on my face! What am I doing wrong???? I love the look of glitter and I have so many. But this is getting on my last nerve cuz of it getting on my face. I put a napkin under my eye or other tools. And it still gets on my face! What could I be doing wrong??? I loved the comment about using correct tool with foundation. That made perfect sense. Great video!!!!! I always learn something from you. I am a long-time subscriber for sure.

Beautiful!!!! 💕

Hey Marlena, great video!!! what is the lip gloss you used And what is your drug store go to lip gloss 💕

I am d3finitely not new to makeup but as I have gotten older my skin has changed along with face radiation. I have purchased many high end foundations, primers, skincare products and my makeup looks horrid within a few hours! I hope to learn a lot

I tried a labor hair remover and it never worked. I'm excited to try this one. 😊

Stunning 🤩

Great video. How about highlighter though. Can you discuss those on a video? And - if you use strip lashes, how do you clean the glue off?

I really appreciate your teaching techinque, what i don't understand in this video is the ad content that comes up without any connection to the content. I am not against the ad, which is mentioned, but to be put more carfeully and with sense in the video 😊

OMGeeeeeee…….!!!!!! Totally Agree! I am with you chica. I DISLIKED that baking phase 🙄

Hello there! Love your videos. I wanted to see if u have videos or could make one on how to cover melasma dark large spots on my cheeks and on top of lip??

I always love your tutorials! You mentioned blush on round faces and more structured/chiseled faces; what if your face is just more oval without the cheek bone definition? Could you please mention where the best placement for bronzing and blush would be then? Thank you!! ❤

Congratulation beacuase you don't seem to be over 40 and you look more and more younger without makeup. Yhanks for your video from Italy!

Oil is NOT hydrating! It locks in moisture and hydration, but it in itself is not moisturizing. Also, oil will break down your makeup, which is why we see oil based makeup removers. DO NOT apply oil to your face before makeu. It’s just a mess waiting to happen.

I was waiting for someone to say this! 🙌🏽

I love your technique videos! I learn so much! I'm wondering if you could try something for me: before using my setting spray, I spray a moisturizing face spray, dry that, and then spray the setting spray. I swear it makes my makeup last longer than with just setting spray. But I'm wondering if I'm just thinking that LOL! I figured it's like using ice water to set the make up - then sealing it with setting spray. Can you see if that works for you too? If so, then it may be a good tip for others as well.

I am going to try those Clusters of lashes you used. I have not been able to get the strips to work yet on my eyes. I am never happy with them when I try. I end up looking like my eyes are even more turned down than they already are.

Marlena baby You are so sweet, my love, in every time zone. May 2024 be with your unique and beautiful soul.

Girl you did AMAZING xPPx

Thank you for this video. I always enjoy them! Can you tell me if and how you shave peach fuzz your face? I’m 64 and waxing doesn’t seem to be good for me anymore as I bruise. Thanks so much!

Hi Marlena, which bronzer/colour did you apply in this video, please? TIA! xx

I used an eyelash curler every day until that one fateful day when my hand slipped. It ripped off a little more than half and I was in frigging high school 😭 It was brutal! I haven't done it now in 40 years.

look amazing ❤️x

Can you make a video on how to do makeup on you when you have eyelashes extensions?
