Over 40 Beauty Hacks: Quick and Easy Glam

[@pinkfeet518]

selling an audience makeup is fine until it comes to actually using the makeup. you’re bringing back the beauty content i missed dearly. i love being shown how to actually use the products i buy ♡

[@elizabethsmith583]

Well said! 🥰

[@Aurora-Sky]

Agreed!

[@mandiwolfe6631]

Yes!

[@mreyna6842]

💯 ❤

[@helenlucy1222]

This! Yes!

[@posavka]

in a time where muas online turned into ads your content is so refreshing and it’s making clear what muas and beauty tutorials are actually supposed to be.

[@Rue994]

I have been so happy since she began routinely uploading and doing masterclasses and tutorials.

[@posavka]

@@Rue994same!

[@kekkelpenneypeckeltoot5700]

I’d really love to see you doing more affordable and drugstore brands for those of us who don’t spend that much $$ on makeup. Especially since you are an amazing teacher and MUA!

[@CGLiz]

Ive missed watching you. Thank you for coming back and reminding us ladies in our 40s that we still got it ❤

[@pamelafrancis8131]

LOVE this video! Please keep making these kinds of tutorials and content for mature women. Thank you!

[@juliesherbondy482]

You are these teacher.I am glad you are back in full swing. You are a ray of light and joy❤

[@amberp5207]

U r NOT lying when u say that eyeshadow with glitter does NOT emphasize texture. I’m 46, and I’ve found that it covers up texture on my eyelids. As long as u use it tastefully and don’t go crazy, it’s a very classy look. I get a lot of compliments. Thank u so much for your tips and tricks.

I am a 43 year old OG makeup artist AND can tell you this girl is legit. I literally felt like somebody was literally in my brain -love !!!! Believe Everything she says-I never comment b/c I feel like a lot of people mean well but sound robots and sell trends and techniques to sound -I’m literally having a moment -I could not have said anything better myself!!!❤❤

[@socalswthrt1107]

I loved your videos 12 years ago and this is gives me 2011 vibes. Where it was about how makeup enhances the beauty. Thank you for continuing to teach us

[@relishbee187]

Appreciate how you always include options for medium to dark skin ladies! A lot of ppl don’t do that❤

[@lesliemarie8280]

Marlena! Please, please, please bring back your single shadows! You had the best eyeshadows on the market! & the price point was amazing!

[@summersmakeupchannel9289]

I'm 63 and I love my shimmers. But thank you for all you've taught me!

[@meganmartin5334]

Marlena proves once again that she is the best at explaining makeup techniques!! ❤❤❤ Thank you! It's so refreshing to get another tutorial from you!! Been watching for around 14 years (since I was 14)!

[@TexasLyoness]

Great techniques! I would love a video on how to do makeup for those that have to wear glasses.🤓 I need eyeliner, but I find it looks so magnified with the glasses, even though the line is thin and blended.

[@ShanlynnYT]

I'm loving these videos you're doing! I miss the days of KZbin where we learned how to use what we bought and got to see products in action. I'm exhausted with all the new releases constantly. Some brands are releasing a new palette every other week and by the time we get it (because you knew, 2 month preorder) the hype is died down and no one is using it anymore. And so we just keep getting the next one, and the next one, and the next one. I'm so over it! I want to see more videos like this.

[@mandyarostegui9198]

Sephora had a day where they had 30% off of Lancôme products and I grabbed the primer on a whim. It’s SO good and will be a staple from now on!

[@kristihasart3427]

I am so glad I found you!! I am loving your application and product suggestions!

[@toniaroane]

You are just an amazing and wonderful human being. I really appreciate you always being consistently YOU. And also the great beauty tips LOL

[@susanlloyd]

@MarlenaStell I went to Sephora today to among many items, to buy some of the "Scattered Light" eye shadows (singles) from Hour Glass. I tried it ("Aura" ) over my existing full glam eyes shadow from Patrick Ta- Major Dimensional II, and saw it was the same color and formulation. To be sure I tested them several times on my wrist (Patrick Ta - and Hourglass). They are the same. This means all of the "Scattered Light" singles from Hourglass are the same as other brands. I really learned this from you Marlena that they likely are using the same lab and just packaging it differently. This saved me from buying the same products I already have. Thanks for the education, Marlena.

[@mhfitgirl78]

Love this! Would love for you to do an Over 40 smoky glam look, PLEASE! Love your techniques and have cocktail party soon and could use some help with my hooded eyes lol 💕💕

[@thepampepper7660]

Very beautiful and easy look. I have that palette too. I also find that a shimmer on the lid hides my lines a lot more than a matte.

[@JD_300]

Marlena you are my favorite and you are gorgeous. Anytime you talk about makeup and what to do I listen

[@pairof3s]

My favorite foundation brush is the one from Makeup Geek. I use others sometimes but I always come back to the Makeup Geek brush 🥰

[@shereeadziadoolin2286]

I just love your video’s. You explain everything so well. Also I love how authentic and real you are so Thankyou for being yourself. 😍

[@wendyschnapa7582]

Love your technique! Could you help us ladies with older hooded eyes on how to apply a baby wing? Everytime I tried, it looks so weird like I have a stick poking into the side of my eyes! Thanks Marlena!

[@ginatate9184]

I love the explanations! This is one of the best tutorials I've seen!

[@reneecarr6995]

Love the Lancome primer. I always go back to that one!

[@VAL702]

This is such a great tutorial! 45-year-old here, learned something new about that blush! High blush 👏🏼👏🏼

[@sharoncollins3216]

I Love this video! You’re gorgeous and I can’t wait to try this technique and I’m getting the NARS sheer glow. ❤❤❤

GREATEST OF ALL TIME

Going to try your Dark Fairy look today but with silvers and blues. Would love to see an updated dark fairy video from you ! Thanks for helping with my make up ☺️

[@wendyd1229]

I’m all about an easy glam look. You never know when a need arises for some extra something 🩷

[@sharonmasters1961]

So glad I found you Marlena! Very informational! One video I would like to see is how apply makeup to very wrinkled eyelids. Thank you for what you do and for your consideration of my request.

[@Aphrodite1983]

I love watching you since 2012! Lots of love from Turkey! ❤

[@lailaabuali1992]

Do you ever use the product you sprayed on your chest, on your face? - I’m looking for something that locks my makeup in ! (I’ve tried UD, CT, Onesize, MAC 16hr spray… they work but not for the entire day). Help ❤

[@robynkahle7240]

I have bought so much you have recommended, I love it all. Brushes and all.

[@EmorettaRobinson]

[@MrsBCurious]

Your makeup looks simple but BEAUTIFUL 💞

[@neneg.4264]

Great tips! thank you 🤗 you look beautiful!

[@lizmartin1844]

Hi Marlena, love your content. How do you choose the correct shade from Derma foundation brand to use as a concealer? I have extremely dark circles. Do you select a shade based on your overall shade? Or go a bit darker to cover the bluish/purple dark circles? Thank you.

[@thebrazenblender7201]

My girl ❤ I hope you have a fabulous weekend.

[@8604JBEAN]

I absolutely love this, and need as I'm 37, and Im so excited to see what you have in store for the makeup geek academy! Love you! ❤

[@Brooke00755]

Marlena is such a good business woman. I ordered from mug some clearance stuff. Shipping was taking a while so i reached out. She was so kind and even gave me a free bronzer for my wait. The products are great! I also got two MUG brushes which are fab. Amazing for blending! Take advantage guys! I got 5 products for 23$ including shipping and from an amazing woman! Can’t wait to support whatever she does next!

[@dawnnash5301]

Hi Marlena, not sure if this went through the first time but in your opinion, what would you pick 🤔 for an everyday "light" foundation that is not glowy for over 40 (Combo T_zone and dry cheeks) I don't like feeling like I'm wearing a mask 😱and it doesn't have to be full-coverage....tysm 🙏 😋

[@mrshedinism]

Been 40 for 3 months and already noticing skin changes as I try my usual Fall skincare and thinking about dry winter skin ❤ #LTRwithMarlena

[@7BDani]

How do I keep the make up off my clothes? My coats have collars and I usually wear white work shirts.

[@francyrodriguez5308]

Great video very helpful. By the way where did you get your necklace? I love it.

[@pamela6470]

Yes the manager from Sephora said the rep/distributor from Nars said that Sheer Glow was being discontinued. It’s my favorite too. Bummed!!

[@Clau-tl1qb]

Wonderful video Marlena!! Bravo 👏I am in my mid 40s and can tell I have to change the way I do my make up! xo 💗

That sucks. I jumped on it. I had seen it on her website before she brought it up. I wanted her makeup! I bought a couple other things. I like the brow duo & the contour bronzer. Cheapest too, but really good... 😊

Love it Marlena!!!!!

[@eydiewimberly3029]

I had used lancom primer years ago but changed to saie and milk but have gone back. I purchased the face hero anisa set but not for eyes. I have Angela bright eye brushes but not entirely satisfied with them. What eye brushes do you recommend? I am 64 with extremely mature wrinkle face…

[@kam0406]

I had to change my makeup technique around my mid 40s. My face shape changed a bit. The firm contours gave way to some laxity. My eyes were now more hooded and my cheekbones started to descend down my face, making my orbital bone a bit more hollowed out and making me look more tired than I was. I now needed to bring light to areas I didn’t pay much attention to before. Dark eyeshadow was no longer an everyday option. I had to be more strategic when using color and much more judicial when layering products as my skin texture would be emphasized. So much had changed. My makeup now needs a very strategic method. Gone are the days when I could utilize every trend. Now I know what works and what doesn’t. In some ways that is more fun in its simplicity. I’ve traded rainbow colors for muted, neutral colors. I wear much lighter eyeshadows and eyeliners but I still find I can wear some brighter lipstick and blushes. I’m now 50 and I like this journey. My makeup drawer has been transformed and with this, I have too, in some ways.

[@kacey357]

Fabulous! Love everything you do ♥️

[@nancymccormick7567]

[@DesiMakeupGrl]

Great tutorial Marlena! I’m with you on the Sheer Glow. It’s my favorite foundation for years. Any dupes for the Dermablend flawless concealer? I can’t get that brand anymore where I live.

Wait, what was the contour product you used under your chin? Love it

[@noreenakhtar5533]

Amazing thanks you can you please advise on some good make up brushes in uk

[@seralynn7286]

Thank you for this tutorial! I have a question regarding how you used the lighter color foundation to highlight your face. You mentioned it was because the base you were using was a little dark for your skin right now. Would that technique still work if your base was the correct color, but the lighter foundation was a little too light for you? The reason I ask is I ended up with a foundation that I cannot return, and I accidentally got the wrong shade. The undertone is fine, but it's fair with pink undertone and I should've gone one shade darker in light with pink undertone. Trying to figure out how to still get some use out of it, and you showing us how you highlighted your face today made me think of it :).
