TY! TY! TY! U need to do a series I.e. halo eyes, cut crease, one color shadow that looks dimensional. Love this video! 😍

[@ArtsyCupcake]

I loved this video too!! SO helpful to see how she does her eyeshadow in real time! 💜🍰😀

[@danielleparker1941]

I rarely comment on videos but THANK YOU for this!!! Eyeshadow stresses me out because people always make cuts in their tutorials and I have no idea what I’m doing. I know the end result I want, but not the steps to get there.

[@Zabrena]

You're so very welcome, Danielle! Happy to be of service! :)

[@ArtsyCupcake]

I loved this real time video too - it was so helpful to see the steps! 💜🍰😀

[@veramariecano289]

Same here. I just quit I get so disgusted!

[@CeleryStickz]

I wish youtubers created more of these tutorials! I find it super helpful as a beginner! Thank you!!

[@Sinai021]

Please do a serie of these with different eye looks and techniques in real time it helps us see it doesn't take 2 minutes to put together a well executed look

[@bundlewade]

That would be great! :)

[@misanthropic985]

Damn Some people get paid to do that

[@buyerbware25]

People ARE interested in seeing everything you do - they want the results that you get. Every minute of your tutorials is valued.

[@ericaf2024]

I love the idea of real time. I’ve never seen anyone else do this. They will just be applying it and saying this is how you do it and then they skip to the next thing. This was totally helpful! Much appreciated!

[@Figgatella]

Erica Fender Watch An Knook she gives a step by step instruction each time she dies an eye look!😍

[@zomi22bs]

Jaclyn hill used to do it. That's why I originally subbed to her, but then she started getting full of herself and I had to unsub. She has some easy to follow tutorials with really beautiful looks. Too bad it's no longer watchable.

I loved this real time video too!! 💜🍰😀

Holy MOLY you're tutorials are incredible. This one I saved and trust me it's going to be playing tomorrow on my makeup stand when I do my shadow. You'll be there hangin with me. Your eye shadow came out ABSOLUTELY flawless and magnificent. Thank you. Also, i must add what a selfless act to start completely raw and then apply in real time...that was the beeest! You look so gorgeous without makeup as well as with...i think you're breath taking 🙅‍♀️

[@Zabrena]

Aw thank you so much, Rachel! I'm honored to be hanging out with you tomorrow morning! :) Thank you for being here!! :)

[@DiamondGirlMW]

@@Zabrena meeee too!!! I also saved this amazing tutorial. I love the reviews, I actually always come here if there is a new palette I want but not sure of the quality. But! Your shadow tutorial , step by step, not edited and chopped leaving us to wonder , wait a minute....how did you do that. I saved this and cannot wait to start my makeup this morning! I got a new "metals" colored palette and have been staring at it for couple days. The colors are beautiful, very similar to the one you used. Mine has more gold tones and I think a few matte transition colors. I am gonna get my coffee , push play and see if I can look anywhere close to as beautiful as you are!!! Much love 💖💖💖✌and Thank you!! Needless to say, you are my most favorite beauty channel to watch 👏👏💖

[@ArtsyCupcake]

She makes applying eyeshadow look so easy!! 💜🍰😀

[@bundlewade]

I'm gonna be doing my eye shadow with Zabrena more often now. :)

[@megangarcia6279]

This reminds me of a Bob Ross video for eyeshadow. Obviously the personalities aren’t exact but there’s something really serene about watching the real-time process of art no matter what form it’s in. The way you present yourself is not over the top but it doesn’t have to be. I just really enjoy this.

[@ArtsyCupcake]

Haha, yes so Bob Ross!! 💜🍰😀

[@beckymyers9528]

Happy clouds.haha

[@veramariecano289]

And I love Bob Ross!

[@LisyCO]

Believe or not...this is how one learns how to properly blend, and apply a beautiful eyeshadow look (I know I did thank you) And get to "hang out" with you for 20 mins 😁. God Bless 🌺

[@MrGorniak1]

Anyone jealous of all that beautiful lid space, no hoods to be found just precious spacious lid space.

[@Notlost-lj9qt]

Thank you for being so thorough. It’s hard when you’re watching a tutorial and they’re using tools you don’t own. Thanks for explaining the quality of the type of brush to use. It’s also good to know just how much blending it really takes to get that look. Please consider doing a series like this.

[@suerynk7969]

Thank you! I love this style of video. I learned so much! I agree it should be a series!!

[@ArtsyCupcake]

Yes, this should be a series! Loved it! 💜🍰😀

[@ElleIsForLiving]

Loved this video so much and hope you do more like this (I need to hear things multiple times to remember it! lol). Gorgeous. ♥ Elle

[@paulahardesty4449]

Elle Is For Living I totally agree

[@veramariecano289]

Me too!

[@gaillggl_collage6391]

This is so helpful, Zabrena! I struggle with eyeshadow application, and maybe it’s because I don’t blend enough. Thanks for showing the entire process.

[@Zabrena]

You're most welcome, Gail! Thank you for watching! :)

[@Sh1tbrix]

I think blending is the problem for me too! All the edited tutorials had me thinking blending wasn’t a longer process where you potentially switch between the colours back and forth. It always just seemed to blend so quickly and effortlessly so i had no idea how to do it properly. This is very enlightening.

[@ArtsyCupcake]

It looks like there is a lot of blending going on and a lot of time! But the end result is worth it! 💜🍰😀

[@MrsDanielle1986]

Thank you so much for showing the full process!! I feel like it takes me forever to do my eyes because I don't wear makeup often and it's really discouraging to see videos where ladies seem to put together their look in just a few minuets. It's nice to know that it takes time for the pros too. Thanks again!

[@jen8322]

I LOVE this real time eyeshadow application video. I would watch a thousand more like it with different brands, colors, placement... it's so much more relaxing and informative than most videos. Thank you!

[@alesotelo9246]

I needed this! Your eye looks are always so beautiful and usually suit different skin tones, I love them so much 😍😍

[@Zabrena]

Thank you so much!

[@williamregier2793]

Thanks for a great tutorial ( FYI using cover girl 3n1 foundation on your recommendation , I’m an RN working in a surgery centre...NO transfer of make up on my mask today....I don’t usually even wear foundation because it all comes off on the mask...thank you thank you)...Mary jo

[@yunniastuty4807]

Z, pls do more like this. Do a series with different color. You are such an inspiration and this kind of video is soooo helpful

[@twoforjoyspirit8699]

💞 I'm not confident with eye makeup at all. So watching literally step by step instructions, with you talking through your thought process helps a lot. I hope to see more real time eyeshadow vids! Thanks Zabrena 😘

[@rebeccaude4412]

You should do a whole face video series, bronzer, blush, contour, multiple eyeshadow techniques, lips, etc!! Your makeup is ALWAYS ON POINT, so I would (& do!) take any tips you dole out!! This was great, thank you so much for sharing! God Bless your whole household 🤗💜😘!

[@rachelaholt7379]

I was not giving my primer time to dry! No wonder I’ve been having such a hard time with my application. Thank you!

[@Zabrena]

Ah ha! I learned that one the hard way! You're most welcome!

[@christinakeegan5149]

This was one of my problems, along with not knowing how to build up color. I have some Luxie brushes that I adore, and I'm going to try them out trying to follow what she did in this tutorial.

[@erinescence2095]

I think I've been guilty of this too and then wondered why things looked patchy sometimes!

[@ArtsyCupcake]

Yes letting the primer dry was a great tip!! 💜🍰😀

[@janeecesmith9525]

Please do more of these!!

[@ArtsyCupcake]

I loved this too - she makes it look easy! 💜🍰😀

[@erinescence2095]

THANK YOU!! A video like this is so much more helpful than you may realize. Quick tutorials make it seem as though there are 4-5 steps and the look will magically appear on your own eyes if you just follow it, and of course that isn't really the case. It's much more of a process than it can often appear in videos. Very, very helpful to see it happening in real time. It would also be helpful to explain why you choose each brush, why it will preform the function you need at that moment(you did with a few) and if you can, to give high-end and more affordable options. I understand a decent bit of that, but explaining when you want short/long/medium bristles, how flexible they should be, how much movement they should have, whether they should be densely packed or loosely packed, etc., is really helpful to beginners and anyone trying to improve their skills. I guess I'm describing a brush video, but it's also helpful in tutorials for application. If anyone is looking for a brush that is similar to the Sigma E25 in a more affordable line, the Morphe M433 is a decent option for around $6. Game-changer for me. Thanks again for doing this video!

[@ArtsyCupcake]

I loved this video too - I am wanting to try this look now! 💜🍰😀

[@Roxie1255]

I really loved this video. If it’s not a whole lot of trouble can you make this a series? A back to the basics ? It’s very rare to see a makeup “tutorial “ that isn’t heavily edited or sped up. You did a great job explaining what you were doing and other great tips and tricks.

[@utoobr10]

I liked this video! I wonder if the numbers will support the feedback that caused you to make this video in the first place. I hope so.

[@sandra4397m]

I am so happy that I found your channel! You actually take the time to test out a product before reviewing AND you go out of your way to make detailed and well-thought out videos like this. I love this and your channel!

[@Sharon-Australia]

Loved loved loved this video in real time.... It makes you understand the whole blending part easier than when parts are edited. THANK YOU would love more of these ❤️🙏😍

[@sakurastormxx]

Yay I’m excited for a tutorial! I love playing with eyeshadow but I still struggle to get a technique down. Thanks so much! 💗💛

[@lizhernandezmajumder1083]

Zabrena, I'm so glad I discovered you. you're the real deal. also your skin is to die for. so radiant!

[@tanishafuller194]

Love this. Thank you because eyeshadow is so hard for me.

[@racheledwards4884]

Me too sis

[@TamaraWoods]

Same. I'm so glad she came through with this.

[@netajones2098]

Thank you for taking the time to do this, it is very much appreciated. I'm 45 and have been wearing makeup since I was 12 and I was a freelancer for awhile, but one thing I always say is; you can never learn enough. There's always new techniques and tips and tricks to learn in the makeup world. ☺ And you are very good at explaining it so we can understand everything. 😊 Loved the colors you used too. I've never been intrigued enough to try Bad Habit, but the way you talked about that palette makes me want to give them a try.

[@AllyKit]

Thank you SO much for showing the way you dip in the pan and then showing how much you have on the brush. Also how much to spray the brush. Now I don’t feel so dumb for over blending and having to go back and reapply. I only wish I found you sooner! 🌸

[@ainvencivel]

I learned so much from you over the years. Before I started watching your channel my attempts of applying my eyeshadow were simply grotesque and now it looks pretty damn good. 😀

[@michellestratford9753]

I can't speak for anyone else, but I like seeing everything ion real time. Makes me feel like maybe I'm doing it (mostly) right after all lol. Thanks for going outside of your comfort zone for us💖❤️

[@elizabethcoker6281]

I have been watching your videos just recently and I think you are a 'Pro' at this makeup thing. I was never good at it but went along today with you and I love what I did to my eyes, using different colors, but following you all the way. Thank you!

[@rjsa5496]

I really love videos like this because I learn so much just from watching!!! Thank you for this, Zabrena. Beautiful as always~

[@yensid4294]

This was very helpful. So often in tutorials they give the impression that very dramatic, multi step looks can be achieved in 10 minutes & it's just not so. Unless I'm doing a very minimal, no makeup look, it takes at least 45 minutes. If I try & go faster I end up dropping things or stabbing myself in the eye with mascara & then it takes even longer. You have to stop & analyze & sometimes adjust what you've done. And that takes time & focus, especially when you're trying new products:)

[@yensid4294]

@Ham Sammich I'm disabled so I'm not sure what you mean by "get there" And maybe we dont do the same techniques or use the same amount of products so I'm not sure what you're basing yourself on

[@sussannekeith5676]

OMG I can so relate to chaos putting on eyeshadow.
