LOVE your hair color! Thank you for explaining the eye makeup application in such detail. You are the only one on here that gives such a wonderful lesson. Thank You for that! You are a GORGEOUS Woman!!
Love love love this video. I am 46 years old and have been wearing makeup since I was 14. To this day I learn new things all the time.You're a great teacher. My daughter and love you!
I adore this series. As a makeup artist I appreciate this pretty smart series because you know your stuff and it's not trendy and full of misinformation. I respect you so much for this!!!!
Marlena, will you please do a tutorial on this look? I think I could get away w wearing this "subtle" shimmer on my lids to work. What is that shade? PS your hair is so cool! Love the purple ombré 😍
Marlena, i ABSOLUTELY love your channel. Your so genuine & i love how you want people to be interactive and too truly love makeup by teaching. A Lot of Channels just put tutorials & wack tags but you actually try to teach about makeup & let us love it! Love you ❤️
I would like if you could do a talk through, like as your explaining the brushes and showing us where it goes, physically do the colours and stuff☺ just a suggestion
Thanks Marlena! I've been wearing makeup for 30 years and just recently started watching beauty blogs. When they started talking about transition shades and water lines, I was like what? Now I know what they're talking about.
I really love this series. I've been playing with makeup since I was 10 and consider myself quite good at the art, but watching your videos is an awesome reminder that we can always keep learning! Just wanted to add one thing about the lower lash line (something I always do). If you shade the outside line in dark colours and then go lighter as you go towards the inner corner, it helps with a wide eyed look. Also, if you use a white pencil in the waterline, it helps open up the eyes, future contributing to a doe eyed look :) Again, thanks for all your tips!
Ok, you just seriously revolutionized my eyeshadow application. For the first time in my life I know how to pick colors out of a palette and know exactly where to put them. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! You made it so easy!!!!!
Wooooo so early. Marlena I just want to say thank you. Thank you for making such an amazing high quality but affordable brand. Your eyeshadows are my holy grail and I am aiming to have every shade. Love what you stand for xxx
Marlena, I love your videos! These tutorials are just excellent. You do such a wonderful job of explaining things and in such detail. I so appreciate your time, effort, and expertise!
Wait!! I've been rocking with Makeup Geek since before her forum but T H I S hasssss to be the best video I've ever seen on TH-cam! It clicked for me! Love these types of tutorials! Thank you Marlena!!
I'm obsessed with your MG eyeshadow that I'm overwhelmed with all the beautiful choices!! I have a request. Can you create a vlog with palettes of colors that work well together for different types of personalities or looks? I usually keep my eyeshadow with matte colors in the crease with shimmer on the lid. The colors I typically stick with are purples, pinks, browns, and grays. Love you MG!
I like that you focus on doing different videos than what all the other TH-camrs are doing! educating and keeping it real! I have been following you for about 2 years now and I have watched pretty much every video you have done and I love that you are the same as you were then! I mean you have grown and are successful and you have your own brand, but you have never started to act differently. Your still Marlena! And I love that!
Aww thank you!! Have to keep it real because you never know when "success" will go away. At the end of the day, family and good health matters more than anything. XOXO
Oh my.. This is nostalgic.. The makeup-teaching & sharing Marlena brings out so much passion and enthusiasm you had more than makeup enthusiast Marlena or business woman Marlena.
Besides being educational it was entertaining! This girl is so nice, she was clear, to the point. Idk! It is nice to watch a video with people like this!
I love this series! Love the educational aspect to your company. I would love if you did a video identifying face shapes and where to place contour, blush and highlight for that face shape. Love you Marlena!! 😘😘
I was amazed that you thoroughly explained so much information in under 10 minutes! I thought this would be too beginner 101, but I appreciated your explanation for transition colors and I need to try dipping a pencil into a gel liner pot!!
I love this video Marlena! Quick question, are you ever going to do a vlog of the "Behind the scenes at Makeup Geek" and give us a little insider's view of how your products are made, the staff involved and the factory making process, etc.? You had mentioned doing that some time ago and I was just wondering if you were still planning on it... that would be so awesome to see!!
It is about time! I am new to wearing cosmetics. I play with different colors but I have been searching for a video like this. I need step by step explanations. I am the first one to ask myself "why." I felt as if you were speaking only to me. I have my notes. Lol. Great job! You have a fabulous personality.
you are schoolin me so hard right now marlena! i'm 4 videos in and got 2 pages of notes already. you speak my language. i'm a thinker too! this is all suuuuuch great information!! thanks for sharing!
LOVE this series!! Excellent! What about the UPPER lash line liner? Pencil, gel, shadow, etc. to line?? Type of brush if shadow? Any special notes for contact lens wearers? I am fairly new and still trying to figure this out!
Jen, I have very sensitive eyes, but I have found out that lining your upper waterline with a Kohl eyeliner works really well. Kohl is not a brand, but a type. It is made specifically to go into your waterline. Clinique has one that is called The Skinny Pencil (about $20 at Sephora), I think. They have a regular size one also, however, I am messy and my eyeballs will burn and itch if I sort of touch them with makeup. When you line your upper lashline, you kind of have to pull your lid up to expose the roots of your lashes. You then line pretty much over top of where the root comes out of your eyelid. this is called "Tightlining". It is a great trick for everyday wear while making your eyelashes appear thicker without too much effort. You don't even need to wear mascara or any other makeup! Don't use eye shadow on your upper waterline and be extremely careful when lining your lower waterline with liner (a kohl pencil, again is best). You do not want to cover your actual tear duct as this is a cause of infection because your tear ducts will be clogged. Makeup just doesn't look as good when your eyes are red and splotchy. I hope this helped at least a little. Have a great day!
The only thing I noticed with wearing contacts is not to wear anything to creamy on the waterline because it can smug and get on your contacts. I personally use the NARS larger than life long wear eyeliner. As far as the upper lash line it depends on what kind of eyeliner look you want. If you want a smoky look I would use a dark eyeshadow. I personally think starting out with a pencil or a liquid pen is the easiest for learning eyeliner.
Ashleigh Marie Thank you! I am not learning by any means..lol! I am over 50! haha, but I have only had contacts for a month! I don't think I am going to make it though as my eyes are SO dry (to due a medical condition) that I don't produce enough tears to wet the lenses :( Thanks for the Nars suggestion though!
JennyBeeAMDG Haha...thanks for your tips too! Please see my response above. My tear ducts have been cauterized closed for about 10 years due to chronic dry eye, so I don't have to worry about clogging them, but thanks so much for the time you took to help me out! I really appreciate it!!!
I love these educational videos. You're one of the first youtubers I ever watched and I've been obsessed since the first video I saw. I'm also addicted to your products. Especially the eye shadows and contour powders. I'm so excited for your foundations and concealers because I know you'll have a shade light enough for me 👌🏻👌🏻😚😚
Marlena...you are amazing!!! I've been watching you for years, and I have learned so much from you!! I can't wait to see what comes next! Love you, girl
Girly would you show us a tutorial on how you did your hair in this vid? It's absolutely stunning! Your whole look in this gorgeous, you're just so lovely, Marlena 💖
I had fun watching while I took a break from my other Anatomy, Physiology & Pathology class! (studying endocrine system) Eye makeup anatomy is LOTS more fun!
This is something I could have really used when I first got into makeup. So informative! I think this is the most brilliant series and I have so much respect for you!
I really love this series!!! I've been able to share them with many young ladies who are friends with my sons ages20&17 so I get to pass along these valuable lessons. Thank you 😍😍😍
i have watched a lot of your makeup tutorials. Actually you were in fact my first introduction to makeup, years ago. So yeah, i became quite familiar with the different terms of the eyes and the various brushes you use. Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial and for teaching me so much!!! xoxo
i have a video request. i have been confused about spf moisturizers. In what order to use your spf. and what to do to reapply when you have all your makeup face on. if you are supposed to reapply every 2 hours. love your channel Marlena! very informative.
Hello Make Up Geek, I was just thinking, because you say "use the eyeliner, just as a tool, dip it into the gel liner, and apply the liner to the water line", that you should create a tool for the water line! It would imitate a liner, just as a "brush". Love you and your company!! - Astrid
Awesome idea for a new series!!! I can't wait to see what else comes along. Maybe include you doing makeup on other people's eyes based on the common eye shapes so we know how to place shadows correctly etc
This was very helpful. I was always confused about the transition area, where it was located and what colors to use, and now I know. Thank you very much!!!
This is exactly what I've been searching for 🙌. Thank you so much. I have a hard time with my eyeshadow looking good and this totally explains why. I've been using the wrong brushes.
This is so fun! I love these videos. I recently decided I was going to "tight line" my eyes. My eyes watered up and the black liner ran and got all over the place. 😆 "Tight lining" and water lining are not for me. 😂😂😂
Thank you so much for this very informative video of what colors to put where and how - Wow - so helpful and I've never seen another one like this. Thanks again!
Just came from snapchat to say I'm glad you're OK! I've had panic attacks before and for paramedics to treat you like that because they're "just panic attacks" is disgusting!Anyway as much as I love your makeup and videos I hope you put them in the back seat for a while because there are more important things in your life so we would understand of course!😚🐶
Marlena, thank you so much for having these educational videos! I've been following you forever and seriously, watching your videos I am learning girl! Lol. I love how you integrated the use of correct brushes for which area of the eye! I am always confused! lol Thank you again 😋
loving how you styled your hair in this video!! also love the info. it's like a review for my makeup class in beauty school. exam is coming up soon, gotta practice, practice, practice!!
I love your tutorials, Marlena! You have a friendly personality, and you're just a joy to watch. I also like how you explain the fundamentals, and explain why and how to use certain shadows, and where. You don't just do the "paint by numbers" tutorials - you give us the tools we need to create our own looks with the products we already have (granted, you've also sold me on the MUG brushes, lol!). I wonder if you could do tutorials in which you explain if/how the colour placement varies for different eye shapes? I have deep set eyes. When I open my eyes, my lid and crease colours tend to blend together unless I bring my lid colour slightly higher than my natural crease, and apply the crease colours a bit higher than my natural crease as well. Is that the only "hack" for deep-set eyes, or are there any other principles I should know? Thanks in advance!

I love how cheerful and optimistic you are without being hyperactive and OTT. Refreshing!
Love love love this video. I am 46 years old and have been wearing makeup since I was 14. To this day I learn new things all the time.You're a great teacher. My daughter and love you!
I adore this series. As a makeup artist I appreciate this pretty smart series because you know your stuff and it's not trendy and full of misinformation. I respect you so much for this!!!!
Please do a pretty smart episode on eye makeup for hooded eyes!!
You're always a joy to watch, and I absolutely adore that giggle of yours!!! 💜💜
Marlena, will you please do a tutorial on this look? I think I could get away w wearing this "subtle" shimmer on my lids to work. What is that shade? PS your hair is so cool! Love the purple ombré 😍
The teacher in her comes out in this series. 😊 I love watching all of her videos; especially when she does the pallet comparison around Christmas.
Marlena, i ABSOLUTELY love your channel. Your so genuine & i love how you want people to be interactive and too truly love makeup by teaching. A Lot of Channels just put tutorials & wack tags but you actually try to teach about makeup & let us love it! Love you ❤️
I've been using your waterline technique for years now. Thx!
yeah I never thought of that before going to do it! dip the pencil into gel liner, awesome
I enjoy this series! How about something on skincare? Like a morning/night time routine?
I would like if you could do a talk through, like as your explaining the brushes and showing us where it goes, physically do the colours and stuff☺ just a suggestion

Wooooo so early. Marlena I just want to say thank you. Thank you for making such an amazing high quality but affordable brand. Your eyeshadows are my holy grail and I am aiming to have every shade. Love what you stand for xxx
I use a super tiny brush in the waterline with gel liners because they're blacker and wear longer and it works perfectly
I like the light purple in your inner corner and how it goes well with the purple shades in your hair :)
Marlena, I love your videos! These tutorials are just excellent. You do such a wonderful job of explaining things and in such detail. I so appreciate your time, effort, and expertise!
School is now in session 📓📚📖📝
I love this series💕
Wait!! I've been rocking with Makeup Geek since before her forum but T H I S hasssss to be the best video I've ever seen on TH-cam! It clicked for me! Love these types of tutorials! Thank you Marlena!!
Yes! Yes!!! Love education videos. Please put together a makeup educational program with basic starter kits. Please please

Wow, I have been using my brushes wrong! Thanks for the video! And I did get the question right without cheating! Cookie please!!! LOL
What cookie is your favorite?? ;)
LOL, chocolate chip!
Lol yeah me too! I learned a lot though.
Home made SOFT gooey chocolate chip
Besides being educational it was entertaining! This girl is so nice, she was clear, to the point. Idk! It is nice to watch a video with people like this!
I Love these Pretty Smart videos. I'm no professional MUA, so all your pointers really help. Thanks Marlena.
I love this series! Love the educational aspect to your company. I would love if you did a video identifying face shapes and where to place contour, blush and highlight for that face shape. Love you Marlena!! 😘😘
Can we just take a moment to appreciate her make-up in this video??? That make-up is purrrrrfect
I was amazed that you thoroughly explained so much information in under 10 minutes! I thought this would be too beginner 101, but I appreciated your explanation for transition colors and I need to try dipping a pencil into a gel liner pot!!

I like your trivia! You should put a couple questions up on Twitter using the polling feature during the week! It would be super fun!
The BEST explanation video I have found so far!
you are schoolin me so hard right now marlena! i'm 4 videos in and got 2 pages of notes already. you speak my language. i'm a thinker too! this is all suuuuuch great information!! thanks for sharing!

Loving this series! And did you go more purple in your hair? I'm loving it!
you have a cute braid in your hair!
Awesome idea for a new series!!! I can't wait to see what else comes along. Maybe include you doing makeup on other people's eyes based on the common eye shapes so we know how to place shadows correctly etc
This was very helpful. I was always confused about the transition area, where it was located and what colors to use, and now I know. Thank you very much!!!
I have been looking for something like this for ages! Such a wonderful overview and in depth course in eyes.
Marlena's hair is goals
This is exactly what I've been searching for 🙌. Thank you so much. I have a hard time with my eyeshadow looking good and this totally explains why. I've been using the wrong brushes.

Very well done! I love this series. As someone who has always wanted to go to makeup school but never could this is a godsend.
Love these kinds of videos! Always fun to learn from the pros 😉❣
This is so fun! I love these videos. I recently decided I was going to "tight line" my eyes. My eyes watered up and the black liner ran and got all over the place. 😆 "Tight lining" and water lining are not for me. 😂😂😂
You look so dewy and fresh!!! Love you Marlena from the core of my heart❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this very informative video of what colors to put where and how - Wow - so helpful and I've never seen another one like this. Thanks again!

I've had panic attacks before and for paramedics to treat you like that because they're "just panic attacks" is disgusting!Anyway as much as I love your makeup and videos I hope you put them in the back seat for a while because there are more important things in your life so we would understand of course!😚🐶
I Love these Pretty Smart series.. So educational and in depth.. XOXO Kira
