Honestly I feel like ever since I've started watching you I feel like trying your make technique, darker foundation and light concealer to balance everything up because when I think about it... it really, really makes sense!

[@msla728]

I want to try that as well.

[@Finestgirleva]

Do it! you wont go back! EVER!

[@naynovaa8585]

i have been trying it and it’s lovely! esp when it’s hard to find your match

[@patb2582]

I think all she’s doing is matching her face to her body since her face is naturally lighter

[@helenlucka]

You had me at $8! and I'm still watching the commercials. Let me sit down properly and enjoy this video.

[@baebuddahtv9482]

Thank you for reviewing this. It launched a few years ago & is a sister brand to The Lip Bar. Ive been waiting for someone with my shade match to review it but no one really talked about it.

[@andreajackson1677]

Not only do u educate us, but u entertain us as well, and I would love a contour video from u because I learn something from all of ur videos

[@sweetbaby00000000]

Yeeees Dr Mena you are giving us two tutorials today. Ok back to the video 🫶🏽

[@diamondd1168]

Yes I’m listening with earphones on and I am loving it! You have entertained me thoroughly for today! Praise God!

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Yhxxx

[@lowfatdarkchocolate]

the close up shots are EVERYTHING

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Ghxxxx

[@shannafarrare282]

I started wiping my brush/sponge during my makeup application. It is a game changer❤ teach me more please 😊

[@peta-annmccaulsky4077]

I don’t usually comment on videos but I really do enjoy your content and personality. I find myself binge watching your makeup vids. Keep it up girl!❤ … and the lippie in matte form is gorgeous- running to get it now!!!

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Aaw thanks love! You’re too sweet

[@helenlucka]

Girl me too! Sometimes I just like having her play in the background because I feel like I’m having a convo with a friend

[@dextinanebo2263]

This is absolutely beautiful! Wow that foundation matched you perfectly ❤

[@Ralynva]

Mena!! Your color match is impeccable!! Yasssss!!! Running to my Target app now!!

[@andreamagwood7050]

The energy in this video! And I liked your lips with the gloss.

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Thxxxx

[@lashawnames9066]

Regarding the lip 💋 it depends on where you're going. I prefer the glossy lip, I think it elevated the finished look even more. Simply beautiful Mena 🔥🔥🔥

[@floridahome2435]

You are alright I didn’t even know the glow screen had a shade until you mentioned it thank you

[@ashleymerriweather6329]

Yassssss you better come through

[@sweetbaby00000000]

Mena I had to stop the video and comment right now….. listeeen that foundation looooks so stinkin good. Oh my lamb. Wow

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Thxxxxx Girl

[@khaddifajohnson8293]

They both look great …. But Glossy looks cuteee

[@monique2224]

Absolutely beautiful. That lipstick is beautiful on you. Do I dare say that you did not need the liner just looking on the video. Gorgeous application as usual.

[@bajanbreezy]

Yes to you bringing some affordable/drugstore foundations. I watch to be entertained but I still contour but forget to contour into the brows. Love the matte lip.

[@sweetbaby00000000]

Now y’all see why I call her Dr Mena…. Because Mena is surgical with this makeup. Most people probably would have washed it off or leave it looking as is, but you did this look right here babeee. That foundation looks amazing, the mascara by fenty… yo she ain’t playing with it. Lol. The look is saying grown and sexy. Love it

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Haha thxxxx this was so sweet!

[@angell596]

Flawless!! I’m going to try this foundation.

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

LMK how you like it!

[@Kwoo87]

Matte look kills it every time…. 😍😍🔥

[@hyacinthcarter6359]

I liked the all matte.., the look is fiyah

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Thxxxx sis

[@makeupqueenroo]

Team gloss side. Thread beauty is so good I love it. It’s the lip bar’s sister brand. They have really good glosses and concealers too! I also love that fenty hella thick mascara too!

[@ReMonaLavon]

Definitely have to try this foundation, it blended so nicely 😍

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Yes, LMK how you like it!

[@stephaniegermain2088]

niiiiiiiicccceeeee!!!! The glossy lip at the end👌

[@hafsatunagogo1964]

Tough choice! Both matte n glossy lips look amazing! Is there anything you can’t make work?! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I laughed more than once, as always, love the authenticity of your videos! 💕💕💕

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Aaw thxxxx

[@collectednotes2159]

Listen because of you I have purchased golden hour from DMB. If you haven't tried her ones in the pan that give you sheen. Try hot water and morning dew I think. You look gorgeous! I love Kosas Cloud Bronzer beautiful and DMB blurring balm is like magic I know it smells strange but it works! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@mseliseh1106]

I love your content and your laugh! ❤ Definitely will be getting Thread sticks after watching you. The matte look is gorgeous! 🥰🥰🥰

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Yessss LMK how you like them!

[@Hail_Amina]

Gloss lips for me ❤

[@darknlovelyfee7134]

I like it! Can you do some videos on eyeshadow and different colors and techniques.

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Hey! I do have a few videos with eyeshadow looks on my channel!

[@shazallenpc]

I learnt a lot in this tut and enjoyed it too.🙂

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

So glad to hear that!

[@floridahome2435]

Yes I love black opal nutmeg

[@pamelareece2099]

Yes I laughed and I learned a few tips!!! I watch your videos all the time! Thanks again, beautiful!

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

[@ms.kiuteazz8484]

It was the scream for me 😂😂😂😂I love all of your videos …. And Watching 😂😂😂😂😍🥰

[@sbmille]

Yoooo when I tell you I was screaming all throughout this video!! 🤣🤣 I loved it!

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Hahaha

[@monicamkupmartinez9285]

Love this! I wish we could have this type of PRODUCTO (it was funny 😂) here in Argentina. I never do noise contour. My noise is really small, so I usually put some highlighter and a bit of bronzer. That’s it 😬

[@vickilittle6586]

Love this look on you.

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Thanks so much!

[@Shes_From_SE_DC]

I am f**king dead at energized Mena 🤣😭

[@namaste_charlei]

This look is so flawlessly amazing and I wish I had the patience, tools, and technique to pull this off. I have makeup but literally only wear a concealer that's close to my complexion and mascara so people won't tell me I look tired. 😂 I recently bought a concealer that I feel is way too light but I might give it another shot. 😅

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Give it another shot and LMK how it works!

[@refiloe_mosili]

As for glorious finelines of wisdom lol and yes was listening with my pods on and I loved every note

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Thxxxx

[@MissRoyalMathi]

If I maybe honest...😢I cringed when you applied the Foundation. But as you blend it and highlight 😮it's so so matching 🙏🏽🤔Mena you make these deep shades look perfect ❤

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Yessss we make it Work!

[@Undefinedde]

You are gorgeous with or without makeup. What is your favorite foundation brand?

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Thxxxx! I have a video on YT with some of my favorites!

[@mdc4evainlightened190]

[@MissRoyalMathi]

[@ariellejackson4403]

Non-makeup question, where did you get your earrings? Specifically the ones with the crosses

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Hey! You can find them here: rstyle.me/+oSTpLaH3jZcCmioIk0gy1A

[@ariellejackson4403]

[@hyacinthcarter6359]

[@winifrednorris2621]

The Tarte buffer brush is better in my opinion....

[@missposh2645]

😂😂I just love u. You are so funny❤

[@MENA_ADUBEA]

Hugsssss

[@floridahome2435]
