I really love this series. I've been playing with makeup since I was 10 and consider myself quite good at the art, but watching your videos is an awesome reminder that we can always keep learning! Just wanted to add one thing about the lower lash line (something I always do). If you shade the outside line in dark colours and then go lighter as you go towards the inner corner, it helps with a wide eyed look. Also, if you use a white pencil in the waterline, it helps open up the eyes, future contributing to a doe eyed look :) Again, thanks for all your tips!
@cathybrown98368 жыл бұрын
Thanks Marlena! I've been wearing makeup for 30 years and just recently started watching beauty blogs. When they started talking about transition shades and water lines, I was like what? Now I know what they're talking about.

I mean you have grown and are successful and you have your own brand, but you have never started to act differently. Your still Marlena! And I love that!
