To be fair, her skin was pretty flawless BEFORE the makeup application.😊

[@starlite556]

I noticed that also. It is like she has no pores .

[@eleanorjentas798]

With skin like hers she doesn't need makeup

I’m 61. I use light coverage foundations. I’ve used a much lighter foundation where Marlena uses the white. I then use a perfect match foundation to the other areas and blend. I use Tom Ford Traceless Soft Matte Foundation. I powder in very similar ways. Thank you Marlena for your expertise!

[@BeeKay4444]

I know you didn’t ask me but if I can suggest a lash growth serum….I am using UK Lash right now and 3 weeks in and seeing great results so far. Have a great weekend 😊

Marlena you are incredible. I learn something new everytime I watch a video from you, as well as I’m able to to do what I’ve learned cause you explain everything so well. I’ll be fifty this year and the tips and tricks I have learned have made my makeup game level up and compliment my skin so much. The confidence I feel when I know I look my best is wonderful and a great deal of it has come from you. Thank you so much for all you do for us and how your passion really shines through.

Marlena - I can't tell you how incredible it is to see you back and doing what you are so good at. Rocking old school Make Up Geek and going New School Make Up Geek! As always, we appreciate you, your knowledge and no fluff approach to products, education and techniques! Your focus on women-owned brands is so appreciated! I've been following you since day # 1. The best is yet to come for you Marlena! So much love from Canada! XO

[@sarahwest5814]

This is unrelated to this video but you had mentioned previously that you had things in the works for a new brand. The beauty community needs you!! I miss Makeup Geek dearly and am burning thru my products. We need more brands and content creators showcasing products to be honest with integrity. You bring all of that to the table and more. I bought some of your brow products during the closeout and I love them, moreso that the current market front-runners. I purchase and try out so many products and I know that whatever you come out with will be an instant success. There will always be some that lie, cheat and steal while simultaneously use others as stepping stones to get to the top but their reign doesn't last long. They are doing nothing more than building a house of cards whereas people like you have a strong foundation and can withstand the climate in the beauty and business space. Wishing you all the best and continued success!!

Marlena is the ONLY SM beauty person I trust. I don't take any make-up product recommendations from anyone on SM anymore more besides her. I love the love you're giving to women owned brands! ❤

@@angelajakob1257 👀 when women still dominate the consumer population of beauty products, don’t you think it’s weird when the biggest brands running the creation and business (and maybe most critically, the marketing) are still led disproportionately by men? just food for thought… just dismissing it as politics feels preemptive.

Marlene is literally aging in reverse! Stunning ❤

[@timothysherreyehler5095]

My favourite plastic surgeon, make up wizard! Sheglam's face primer, 'Birthday Skin Pink', is the only primer that erases the large pores on my face! Yes, I was looking at you strangely in your 'white' step! What are the best white products to try, missie?! Will it work with a matte foundation (Lancome's new Teint Idole)? I've been using Focallure's rose powder to brighten my under eyes, and to set my concealer for awhile now, and I really like it! I also bring my blush up higher also, and it's most often in shades of bright pink, and fuchsia! This 62 year old face is a bit demanding! You look stunning; thanks for sharing this technique with us, missie! Have a lovely weekend with your wonderful family! Love, and hugs, Beautiful, Sherrey💕🍓💕

I have so much respect and admiration for you! You started doing tutorials before tutorials were ever really a thing. You have shared your tips, tricks and expertise, as well as some of your personal trials and tribulations. What you have not done is develop an attitude of grandeur, nor have you ever given in to the shallow drama that the influencer world can seem to get so saturated in. Keep up the great work!
