Please do more tutorials since you really are a pro par excellence! I learned so much just in this one especially for the eyes!!! Thank you!

[@MarlenaStell]

Absolutely! I love teaching tips and techniques!

[@razamughal9095]

@@MarlenaStell can you make a tutorial on how to do colourful eyeshadow. How to place the brush. Because when an amateur does it, blue and yellow side by side end up being green, when we want them to be blue and yellow.

Agree!

AMEN! I'm 57 and that eyeshadow tutorial helped me so much! I know I shouldn't but I love me some shimmer so I do plan on practicing that look!!! Thank you all of your video's are so incredibly helpful! ❤

It’s my pet peeve- long intros! I’m like “get to the video!!” 😂😂😂

Gorgeous Marlena! We missed you so much! Please do more tutorials for people over 40. The techniques are so different than in my early 20s when I first stumbled upon your videos.

[@violetviolet888]

Marlena: Could you do a video series on olive undertone makeup? I'm cool olive medium and all olives are under-represented in this industry. Thanks for all your content!

Please keep doing these tutorials- I’m 52 and just getting into makeup. You are so good and give the best advice - I save all your tutorials because I can’t remember all the tips and tricks- but you had better believe I go back and find them! I appreciate the subtlety of the looks you do.

[@cvonsutphen]

*Powder T-Zone prior to Foundation* . It was an exceptionally warm day for April in Upstate NY. I'm 56 and have a physically demanding job, decided to give your technique a try this morning. After skin prep, I used a light finger pressing of powder in my T-zone, then misted my face with a setting spray. I did my eyes and brows while this set down. I applied Wet-N- Wild Tinted Hydrator for foundation, bronzer and blush. Did a stipple more of powder and another mist of setting spray. I definitely worked up a sweat during the day, however, my face didn't "melt" away. I had normal shine break through but I looked "dewey" rather than my face my face fell apart. Thank you for the great tips!

[@kimpearson496]

Gorgeous. I miss this kind of videos please bring back tutorials like this

5:13 The *original* Beauty Blender is made to *not soak in foundation*. If you wet it first as directed, it repels oil-based foundations, therefore not soaking in product. Off brands may soak in foundation.

Thank you Marlena for the makeup application tips! It’s definitely going to help me very much. I struggle most times with eyeshadow and which eye brushes to use with hooded eyes. Also, good to know which tools to use for different types of foundation. I learned a lot in this video. Thank you 😊

[@Trabecca1]

LASHES!!! Step-by-step application. Best drugstore and high end. Minimal lashes to give you that little extra pop and night on the down lashes. The best glue and tools and how to clean. Watching you use your eye shadows brings a tear to my eye. Every time I put on eyeshadow I wish it was a Makeup Geek. They were sooooo good. Thanks and love ya! Welcome to Texas 💕

[@Missy3105]

You are so beautiful and have stunning skin. Im a year away from 40, and don’t have the worst skin. Not the best, because as you said. I was always in the sun as child, teen to my late 20’s. A lot of sun, and very little sunscreen. Oh if i knew what i know now. But my face tends to have a red tone a lot of times, so thank you so much for the tricks & tips!

[@destinygodley]

Love this! I'm deep and peach works very well for me I find the tone of the correction has more to do with the coloring of the area corrected .. so many good take aways.

[@angiec.874]

Hey girl, I just wanted to say thank you because a few days ago I watched your video about the way you can change the undertone of your foundation and I noticed this morning when I playing my foundation it looked a bit odd on my skin. I have a neutral or yellowish tone. I’m learning to identify it so I’m not sure which of the two I have but for sure I don’t have a pinkish undertone, which is how my foundation was looking so I did add a little bit of blue eyeshadow and it made a world of a difference. I’m so grateful for the steps, so I just wanted to come on here and say what a difference it made in the way my foundation looks, I love watching your videos the more you talk and the longer they are the better. Thanks again.

[@marycole434]

So helpful, thank you! I feel like your eye look is a tightened-up and more precise version of the general placement I do for daily eye shadow. But the perfect detail with each little step is exactly what I needed to make this look less sloppy and muddy-looking, which often happens to me. You are an excellent teacher, thank you for putting this tutorial out there for us!

[@b0vine09]

My hooded eyes thank you!!! It's so hard to find tips and techniques that complement them. And many makeup artists do them wrong, or just ignore my requests and the result ages me a lot, so it's crucial to know how to do it myself

[@MarlenaStell]

For hooded eyes, it's SO important to not line the lash line too heavily and keep the lid with a light and shimmer shadow. That will keep the lids bright :)

[@dianesteen4025]

[@lauralierutledge5828]

I absolutely love tutorials like this! The best analogy that comes to mind is years back when I taught aerobic/group fitness classes, I felt pressured to come up with more and more new stuff bc I thought everyone was getting bored. That was not the case, for the most part! I was bored with myself but my ‘students’ weren’t! They were still loving the routines! They were lackluster for me because I taught multiple classes with much of the same routines just jumbled differently. The students were still struggling to keep up and changing so often just discouraged them. So all that said to say, WE’RE not bored with fabulous tutorials!!! Keep them coming!

[@emy_themua2015]

With the eye application just to mention about where bouts you hold the brush the closer you hold it to the tip the more product you’re gonna lay down, great if you want to pack colour on but if you’re blending hold the brush further up you will get a much softer blended effect. Fab vid hun 💖

[@mrsdrhux]

Where have you been Marlena.. I was sat with a notepad , pause, note, pause and then rewatched it all again to fully take in all the tonne of information. Love the fact your back doing tutorials.
