How could anyone on this channel bash you of all people!? You are the sweetest, most genuine, and non controversial person. Those people must be really unhappy with their selves.

[@Zabrena]

I feel for them; it's easier to hate than it is to love, but love feels so much better.

[@xlittledebx]

She really is. I think it bothers them that she doesn’t entertain them and their behavior. They want a response and Zabrena wisely just ignores them.

[@OhAlice1951]

I’ve been doing my eyes EXACTLY like you did on your old side and I’ve been so frustrated that my looks haven’t ended up how I envisioned them. This video is exactly what I needed to evolve my makeup techniques!!

This video legit helped me. It's been a long time since beauty KZbin actually taught me something. Thank you Zabrena!

[@Zabrena]

Aw yay! So happy to hear that! :) Thank you for being here!

[@Midlife_Manical_Mayhem]

i appreciate how you share so much about how unsure of yourself you were, yet you still put yourself out there to teach others. i have been watching you for a very long time (first video i saw of yours was about how you get your hair curly and you went by "my eyeshadow consultant"). you have truly grown, but have always been beauiful, inside and out.

[@mariayashkova3272]

I always loved the way your 'rounded' eye makeup looked back then, a unique celtic type of beauty while everyone on KZbin looked like they had had an eyelid plastic surgery.

[@MissMal25]

Can we just take a moment to say that you should do your makeup however makes you happy. If you want to emphasise downturned eyes then go ahead. I think it’s beautiful. You do you.

[@carminashapiro5382]

I really love those 20's eyebrows! In the end you have different styles to chose from! I'm kind of surprised of how many years i've been following you! Hahaha time goes by!!

Could you please do a close up video on that whole V thing for the outer eye? I know there are other videos out there but you made it look so effortless.

Maybe this will help? It's a video she did in April. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4TXlouPgJxnhpo

[@nikiichan]

I do the 20s brow because i find it weird drawing things that dont exist but the drawn in eyebrow looks so nice on you. I will try that too!!!!

[@reneemarais431]

Oh the 20'ish make up has it's own charm.

[@supremepancakes4388]

I think so too...I think it's because Zabrena has a smaller forehead -- on me with a 5head this would not fly, but I actually think she looked really pretty and different in a classy way in the 20ish look for the eye area. If she walked out on the street, the only thing I'd notice besides how pretty she looks, is that you can notice compared people around you now the look isn't done very often anymore, but that's pretty much it.

[@amberaureli]

Thank you for giving me the push I need to stop layering on so much foundation! Your skin looks more radiant now then it did before! I struggle with acne so I tend to want to layer with products but I shouldn't and will try not to now! Loved this video!!! 🥰

[@MichelleMyBelle2121]

Ah I like the blending trick on the eye on the right, need to learn that on myself but that’s ok, I’ll see if I can ☺️ if not I’ll just keep practicing 💯💯💯 left side is ok too ❤️

[@michellecaudill7936]

Omg I didn’t know folks were that harsh of them. I’m 61 and have hooded eyes that have become somewhat down turned as I get older. A trick I’ve learned thanks to Robert Welsh and I do it before my eyeshadow I use a peach color correct just a little in the inner and outer corner and tap in you know the one dot 2 dot trick and like you now mascara on the bottom lash line but a little medium taupe in the center very close to my lash line. But dear I had no idea folks were that cruel with words such harsh criticism. My goodness. I started watching you after my 2Nd major back surgery June 2017. You were my 2nd subscription. I watched you through the birth of your 3 little angels. And tried to give words of encouragement to trust yourself and your GOD given maternal instincts. Sort through what others give but remember you grew them for 9 months how the move I. The womb is that personality they’re born with and just intensifies the older they get. That’s why no one knows them better than mom. But I don’t think I’ve seen a more beautiful pregnant woman. And yes I love my girls and we’re and are beautiful but you were stunning. Anyways the older we get the more I find less is more. But yes always trust yourself and growth is an option. I’ve watched you blossom. But I never thought anything negative about your tutorials. Actually I saved and still have all of your wet and wild 10 pan tutorials so thank you for being so thourough because that helped me. We share the same faith so thank you for being bold and allowing us to share that with you. You’ve given me words of encouragement even when you didn’t know it. I had to have a revision spinal surgery removing all my 2017 hardware replacing it and going up a level. So this triple fusion I had 8/25/20. You’ve been a blessing for me to watch ad I heal. So please keep doing what you do!👍🏻💕😘🙏🏼🙏🏼 and don’t ever be one discouraged because you are a blessing. Even if you didn’t know it. God bless you thanks for all the great tutorials and for being so real and transparent 💕👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻😘🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I think I've been watching you for 7 years! I relate to so many of these changes. I think my biggest changes in makeup since my 20s have been my eyebrows and foundation. I use WAY less foundation now. Also, I think we were all obsessed with liquid liner 7 years ago LOL :)

[@despaahana]

Thank you for making this video! it is so great to see the mistakes that someone used to make and go over why they used to make them and why that was changed and the difference between them. It's wonderful and it helps us not to make those same mistakes as well! Love you Zabrena!

This was great! I like seeing the different techniques at the same time. Thank you!

I found you on you tube just about 7 or 8 years ago. I remember I used to be up in the middle if the night with my newborn son at the time and loved binging your makeup time travels where you would highlight the individual decades of how makeup was applied. I love these videos of how much we transform over the years. I know even my own application has differed over the years too. I used to get so excited knowing you lived in the same town as me also. One day I just hoped I would run into you at CVS or something lol!!!! I still love you and videos! You bring joy and pure love for your viewers. Your spirit is infectious and I always feel happy after seeing one of your videos. So great to watch your family grow...this was even before any kiddos. Thanks for letting me ramble...I enjoyed this video. It was nostalgic for me too!!! I wish I was a SAHM mom again sneaking makeup toots!!!! Love Ya Zabrena!!!

[@tanya32757]

This tutorial was very, very helpful to me! I’m a mature woman with rounded turn-down eyes (like a panda bear) and a hooded lid. The placement of the crease and outer V shadows is very helpful. I’ve been experimenting with false lashes and wonder how far from the outside edge to trim them without them being too short. I find the tip about using your eyelash curler after applying the lash does bring them together with my own lash to give a more natural look. Thank you Zabrena!!!

I've not commented before, but I have really enjoyed your videos for several years! This video today is particularly helpful to me, Zabrena! I didn't really know how to apply make up that well, but after a Triple Negative Breast Cancer diagnosis, I began to watch YT videos to learn how to better apply make up, especially eye make up in order to help improve my body image post mastectomy, before reconstruction. I don't have downturned eyes, but I do still have difficulty with applying my outer V make up. It's comforting to know that it is something that others have also experienced as well! Thanks for sharing what you've learned over time! I hope I also progress as time marches on! Take care, and thanks again, Sherrey🎀🎗🎀

For me, learning how to deal with my oily skin has been BIG game changer. I did not know oily skin needs moisturizing too. I have also learned how to pick shades to suit my undertone. I have both warm and cool undertones and picking a neutral undertones works for me. And I also use smaller makeup brushes for my eyes. No more muddy eye looks. Now wearing makeup is fun for me because I have learned to so many tips.
