Every time I see a video notification from you Marlena...I think to myself this Lady must love her makeup! You run a HUGE makeup company, but still do haul, tutorial, and favorite videos! WOW! Thank you for all the information in this tutorial.
when was the last time anybody spoke of makeup geek thou? or used the products? OR EVEN a new launch everyone was hyped about? Makeup geek is sooo 2015 and thats too bad thou but even after all these years I still would like to try the eyeshadows
Just because someone says they don’t have makeup on .. it doesn’t mean they don’t have anything on ....there are many ways to appear beautiful and radiant without tons of makeup..
I hate when people say things like that you are the reason why people assume that when you wear make up you must be ugly I don’t like the way you look some people just like make up
Marlena, Haven't watched youtube for a long time, but you seem happier or less stressed, (something ) since the last time I watched you. Happy to see it. You are a beautiful person , inside & out.
U are the one that made me love makeup. I never watched videos in TH-cam, only on ur .com page. Please don’t ever stop doing tutorials. All these other TH-camrs started and learned from you! You are soo awesome and a genuine person!!
I love how direct this video is and how you are addressing ALL different skin types in your recommendations. The only thing I would say (as an oily skin girl and an ex-skincare consultant) is that oily skin can often be oily because it is dehydrated. I've had/seen a lot of success in using oils as their formulation is able to tell the producing layers of the skin that it is hydrated and has no need to overproduce oil. Mattifying products are great for day-to-day when you need a quick fix, but long-term working with oily skin: try experimenting with oils!
Marlena, you are amazing. Not only are you doing a tutorial, but you are explaining the steps in exact precision and giving us the reason to either apply a product or not to apply a product. Kudos to you. Thank you
Best foundation video I have ever seen! It really shows you what the skin is like with every step. I feel like I have always seen or done one or two steps, then stop because it looks off. The whole video takes it to the next level and shows me how to transition to the next step and why. Thanks so much for sharing!
I think no one has done a advanced foundation techniques video like this.This is so helpful for someone like me who is just learning about makeup and skin.Thank You dear.Let me tell you I love your little giggles in between your videos, they make me smile❤️Love
I just discovered your channel from a video you did 3 years ago and I’m binging your videos. You’re amazing at explaining things and have such an engaging personality! Can’t believe I haven’t been watching all this time. Need to catch up.
This video tutorial is exactly what I needed this morning!! Thank you for enhancing my knowledge about foundation application!! Can’t wait to give the techniques a go. xx.
I've used two separate primers to target my different face zones over the last year, and it really has made a huge difference! Thanks for all these great tips, Marlena!
Awe marlena u are such a badass...i love how u connect with your audience while educating us...u are so damn inspiring girl i am so proud of u!!! U go girl💜
I know some are going to say this is too high maintenance, but it's necessary to ensure that your base looks good/stays put. Another great tip is to wait 20-30 minutes between skin care and primer, and 10+ minutes between primer and foundation so that the products can fully absorb, thus avoiding cakiness. I also only set with a beauty blender because it's the best way to minimize pores, leave the base undisturbed and make sure everything will last. If you want flawless makeup you need to take the steps to get flawless makeup. Great video! #mgforever 💕💕💕
This helped me so much! Oil - who knew? This morning I prepped with Marula oil and I see a difference in application if my CC cream. I powdered all over with a huge brush! Today I did target application - big difference! The CC cream - not enough coverage may need to build up more or switch - 🙏🏻 TY
Marlena, I've been watching you for years and have never taken the time to comment something I always think to myself when watching your videos.... it's about time I share with you my thought: You are absolutely gorgeous!! :) That is all and thank you for teaching me so much for so many years!
Omigosh. I watched your channel YEARSSS ago--like pre beauty blender lol SOO happy to find your channel again girl! You look amazing! I just started watching TH-cam regularly again about a year ago and kept hearing about "makeup geek" products and always wondered if it was you--it is!!! So happy for your success!!!
I have been using foundation for so many years and yet I still got a lot out of this video! Never did I think to use a lighter foundation to highlight:) definitely going to try that! Thank you
Girl, you look amazing! Thank you for making this video. I really have issues with texture on some parts of my face and oil as well. It's all over the place. This video helps!
Please do this continuing into bronzer and blush. I’m just curious how a brush will work if you aren’t setting those areas with powder. Lately, I’ve noticed that when I don’t set those areas and then go in with bronzer, it either gets muddy, patchy or hard to blend out. Also, the product starts to build up weirdly in those areas. Thanks, Marlena! 💕😘
Wow wow wow!!! I have just subscribed to your channel and I am so happy I did!!! Have never seen a tutorial this clear and genuine! Go makeup geek go! 👌😍
i adore makeup and skincare and you! i trained many years ago as a beauty therapist and although retired, still go on the odd refresher course. Do you know - even at my ripe old age i am picking up tips from you - that's nothing short of a miracle!
So helpful! Haven’t seen one of your videos in so long, I forgot how awesome you are. Glad you are still doing them. I not really a subscriber to any channel, unusual just surf around, but I’m subscribing girl and going though your Library of videos later.
Thank you so much for putting out this video just before the holidays when all the Christmas parties and New Year's Eve parties are coming out. You are so in-depth with the video that it really really helps me out a lot
Loved loved loved! I've been waiting years for a video with content as amazing as this. Thank you so much for producing such a wonderful and in depth video!
This was The Best Foundation instruction/tutorial I have ever seen. So many great tips and tricks. I can’t wait to try your technique for dark circles. And, your skin prep for combination skin is genius! Also, great powder application tips. Now I want to order more Make Up Geek shadows. Will be viewing your eye tutorials for colors I need. And, I am a neutrals girl with a little shine for accent. Do you have neutral palettes with matte basics?
Love this video. You are beautiful inside and out. I️ haven’t tried the 2 foundation system. Why do you prefer foundation over concealer out of curiosity? Your makeup always looks amazing!
Thank you so much for the informational video!! I love watching first impressions and hauls for entertainment but I haven't come across a good informational video in a while. It's always nice to pick up new tips and tricks!!!
I splurged and got the Giorgio Armani fabric foundation after watching one of your previous videos. I love it! It feels so light weight on the skin. Also I really like videos like this...more please!
These tips make so much sense to me!! Your skin is beautiful without any makeup on. I love your videos and MUG products. You're such an inspiration - I wish more people would remain humble, funny, sweet and kind-hearted even after they've become successful, like you have. I have a request for a video (you may have already done it), but I was wondering if you would walk us through your current skincare routine (AM & PM)? You truly do have gorgeous skin!! Thank you!! Stay beautiful. Makeup Geek forever, Heather 💋
I can't thank you enough for these videos!! I have been following you for a long time and you are still my number one go to for all makeup tips and tricks! Well let's face it, I watch every video you put up.
I loved this video. Foundation is a huge challenge for me right now as my skin is changing. I feel like it always looks caked!! No matter what I do or if using a brush or blender. I do like the trick of using the blender for the powder, that I have found does work and doesn’t look as cakey. But I’m still confused on how to prime. And I do also agree with using different foundations. This video was so helpful and I’m gonna check out your others!
Loved this video. Thank you for all you do and sharing your tips with us. I just wanted to tell you that I've been watching you for years and finally wore Makeup Geek makeup for then first time today and received complements. I work in a professional office so it is unusual to hear complements like that. I ordered the Halloween mystery box and love everything in it. I'll definitely be back for more. Stay awesome!!!!
Thank you for teaching!!! I am a self taught MUA and I have learned so much valuable information, techniques, "makeup" from your teachings. Your are appreciated!!!
My all time favorite youtuber ❤ I remember watching your very first video ever. I think it was back in 2004? Thank you for staying so real and so genuine!
I found you, after the video you made about the beauty communitity in 2018. I've been binge watching you ever since. You are like the female version of Wayne Goss. (it's a huge compliment, as he was the first person to teach me about makeup. I completely blame him for my makeup addiction!). You are sweet, consise, informative and factual. It's actually very cool, that a CEO of a major makeup company would sit and teach us plebs how to apply, and the ins and outs of make up.
I just received my first Makeup Geek purchase....love it was an eye shadow and brushes...L O V E your brushes. Will you be adding more eye shadow brushes?
Love love live your videos Marlena!!! I wish you could upload everyday!!! You're always soo classy and fun!! I also apply my powder with sponge or blender, I think the same way you do, brushes disturb and ruin the foundation. And also your videos are always very informative and well explained. Send you a lot of love from Mexico :)

marlena just has the sweetest heart and personality. that laugh. it's so pure and sweet
Love that you reminded us never to apply powder all over our faces! I totally do that but you're right - the outer edges don't need as much. GUILTY!
If I looked like you without makeup, I would never wear the stuff!!!
ussms1107 I was thinking the same thing at the beginning of the video. Her cheeks had such a shine and a glow and she looked so adorable!
Just because someone says they don’t have makeup on .. it doesn’t mean they don’t have anything on ....there are many ways to appear beautiful and radiant without tons of makeup..
ussms1107 thats what i was thinking too such a pretty lady!! Good tips though!! I always use coconut oil oops
I hate when people say things like that you are the reason why people assume that when you wear make up you must be ugly I don’t like the way you look some people just like make up
Have watched you for years and you still continue to teach me new tricks! Love you and I’m so proud to see you in Target!!
