Stephanie S. OMG! Lmao, that is literally why I just clicked on this vid!! I watched her “dear influencers” vid and thought she had a nice soft voice so when I saw this vid in my recommenced today I was like “yep!!” and clicked on it haha.
This is 5 years later and to me is still very relevant. I've watched a gazillion tutorials (no joke) on how to apply, but none on how to properly pair them up, which is a big issue for me. This is so helpful and valuable if I could give a million thumbs up, I would. Thank you, Marlena!!!!
FInally a breakdown of how to choose colors!! I love my RUclips beauty’s and their tutorials but this right here is what I needed. I want to be independent from just copying my fav RUclips personalities. Muchas gracias!!! 😘
Classics stand the test of time. I watched this 4 years ago and I still recommend this (and you) to everyone I know. It’s 2019 and this information still stands. Thank you for always being true to what “beauty” really means.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We miss this Marlina. Not what youtube has done to her. Shes had to become defensive and just jaded I guess. I still watch and enjoy these informative and instructional videos of hers ❤❤❤ I suppose I will always support her in my own way
THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY NUMBER 1 QUESTION WHEN USING A MULTIPLE COLOR PALLET. I ALWAYS JUST BUY THE 4 COLOR COMBO PACKS. HAVENT EVEN WATCHED THE VIDEO AND HAVE ALREADY SUBSCRIBED. LOL
I never knew she was THIS tiny...i thought she said she was always heavy...I been watching YT since 2012 but didn’t know who she was until the end of makeup geeks popularity.
@@AFFTFOMSICHTS no, Im pretty sure she's said her weight has always been up and down, or maybe she said "struggled" with her weight. I could be wrong though. I've watched her for *many* years, but probably a year or so after this video. I actually like her lips better like this... beautiful smile. But I also like her with a little "meat" on her bones. She's truly a beautiful person and beautiful soul.
Between you being so open and honest about your personal journey, and you taking time to make videos like this I'm subscribing. You are truly an encouragement.
If I had beautiful products to be proud off, I would show them off too. She even said she was mentioning her colors but there are ones similar out there. I love you Marlena!
Marlene, I really love the natural way you teach! As a teacher, I know you would do and do a great job! You are fun to watch and you keep us interested! And, I like the information a lot!
Nice work, Marlena. I have been trying to experiment with different eye looks lately and these tips definitely help guide me. Also, I love the big poster of how exactly to map out colors.
Love this video and how you explain monochromatic and polychromatic. I've never understood what those meant and now I do!! Also very helpful on how to pair stuff together. I don't know how many times I've looked at a palette and didn't know what to put together. Thank you!!
A little off topic but, I just needed to say this. I just ordered 3 of your gel liners &, while pleased with the product, I was even more pleased with the very sweet handwritten note included in my box. It was such a very sweet, very nice touch & made me feel a little more connected. I love it! Thanks for always being amazing, Marlena!
I love your "educational " videos very much Marlena , they have saved me many times , I am a teacher myself and know pretty well that teaching certain skill isn't just anybody's ability , it needs a special talent :)
This has become my favorite video. I love how you address the needs of women of all shades. Using the picture to explain was as excellent idea! This is such a great video. I will be able to apply what you've taught!
Thank you so much for this video! I had a hard time with pairing the proper colors and I have a better understanding now! I'm trying to better my blending techniques & this helped a lot!
I love that you actually have these types of quick lessons. You've been a makeup professional that I watch regularly, and have inspired me to look into going to makeup academy!
I love this lady so much. You do so much work and it pays off. Thanks for making a makeup company so amazing! I love you. You inspire everyone around you!
I love how versatile you are!! It's been hard for me to watch videos from those far from my complexion and even still, i end up confused. But you've been very inclusive/considerate of other skin colors and I have really enjoyed watching. Plus, you actually know what to do so I've struck gold coming across your channel lol!!!
Marlena, you beat me to asking for help with all the new shadows I got for Christmas. I hope this New Year brings you happiness, success, and someone special to share it with. You deserve it! Take care of you!
This popped up right on time! I'm going to be playing with eyeshadow and I've always wondered how people did their pairings. This has demystified the process and I feel confident enough to one day give it a go. Thank you☺
Here 5 years later... this reminded me why I loved you from the beginning Marlena! You should do a “how to choose eyeshadows depending on your clothing” 🙏🏼
thank you for your in-depth information. we take what applies to us and move on. i'm sure it takes time to compile this info, set up and provide visuals for us. I truly appreciate this free service that you provide to YT viewers at the cost of your time, effort and energy! Thanks Marlena! Love your vids and tuts!
This is by far hands down, the best makeup video I have ever watched. I went to study makeup in university and the tutors were nowhere near as helpful, experienced and awesome as you! Thank you so much x
Thank you so much for making this video, I have always wondered who people chose the colors they picked for the beautiful looks I want to try! I can proceed with confidence now!
This is great, I'm new to putting makeup on others and I get overwhelmed by all the colours n palettes I have and always have to refer back to tutorials, so this really helps me identify what I can use together. Thanks Marlena..a majority of my kit is all mug...just waiting on my complete foil palette to arrive now :)
Thank you for using the word "monochromatic" in the correct context. It annoys me when illiterate people use the word "monochrome" to refer to a black & white combination - "mono" = one, "chrome" = colour. Black & white aren't even colours, never mind the fact that there's 2 of them in a combo.
lol so let me ask, why did you choose to use the term when it really didn't add to the information in the least? Also, if you are going to attempt to feign ignorance about what you were trying to infer, do you know the meaning of the term illiterate? I only posted because I get tired of reading other people putting people down. You're obviously a smart person and you can portray that without being nasty.
I really enjoy watching your tutorials! It's so helpful for a new beginner! I am just now getting into learning how to do my makeup! Thank you so much!
I disagree with you. You can't put any colors together! When it comes to polychromatic looks one must look at a color wheel. Colors that are opposite will accentuate each other (like green-red / blue-orange) but will make it impossible to pair on the lids. You cannot blend eyeshadows that are oposite together. Try it and you'll see that it will create an ungly brown color. You can create a cut crease or use them on upper or lower lids but never without differentiating them. To mix colors the best way is to look at the color wheel and look up the colors your main color comes from. For a harmonious look for ex with a blue- green ( turquoise) you have to use green- yellow combo or a blue purple combo. This way blending will be a piece of cake. Also you can use neutrals to help blend towards your brow bone when using strong colors. Any color that has no similarity with skin (green and blue especially), will need a color that has a similar pigment as the skin to blend out.
Open up just about any beauty or fashion magazine to see examples of well-paired and well-executed eye looks using complimentary or split complimentary colors. Such pairings can be tricky, but they do work and can be used to create the boldest, most artful looks.
Celeste - omg she was so skinny!!! I’m not being mean. I’m bigger than I’ve ever been. I know the struggle. I’m just making an observation. She’s pretty no matter what. I love her makeup too.
You are a great educator in the makeup industry. Thank you so much! I wish I had a video like this when I was starting out with makeup, much easier than trying to go through tutorials knowing very little about what looks good together.
I don't like how she says you can't have all matte or all shimmer there are tones of ways all matte eyeshadow looks can be amazing and same thing with all shimmery just the way this girl has so many "rules" of makeup pisses me off makeup is a free art you can do whatever you want.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make these types of videos! Even though I've been wearing makeup for many years, I have acquired some bad habits in application techniques and color choices. You're videos are VERY helpful! Please keep creating these types of videos. 😃
This is from only 6 yeas ago? That's a very short time to change so much & become unrecognizable. And I don't mean the weight, it's too much surgery & fillers. Sad that she felt the need for it.
Marlena. I REQUESTED this vid when you posted the Eye Shapes Vid. NEVER have I requested a vid and it was actually made. You are truly the best. Thank you thank you!! U dont know how big this is!!
Brilliant! You def should do more of these 'educational'/ how-to style videos! I can watch tutorials till I'm blue in the face. But these teaching videos are really more about giving me the tools to LEARN how to be better at home. SUPER helpful! Thanks
I'm so glad I found you last year. I've learned so much from you and have invested about $200 in makeup because of you. I've gotten so many compliments about wearing makeup now. I look better and I feel better and I love it. I just $86 dollars worth of makeup geek eyeshadows. I can't wait to try them out and the hubby didnt even complain that I spent so much because he sees how great I look and how happy I am lately. Thank you for teaching people like me better tricks & making me love makeup aga
This was really great Marlena! I love your eyeshadows so much and definitely want to buy more. I just went travelling and the only eyeshadows I brang with me were your ones in a Z-pallete! I love them and can't wait for you to make more.
Love to see a video on these color shadows going with the color eye. Thanks I feel I'm sleepy at this moment I was enjoying lots of ur videos & I have a sleep problem
thanks for this! ive been a little more knowledgable for colors to look for when purchasing palettes and this is a true eye opener. i love look for the darkest matte shade and the most golden shimmer shade and then check out the other colors. im medium-dark, so i luckily get away with some lighter colors and the darker ones as well. would have loved a display of actually added the colors to the paper and then adding the colors to a person. great video!

Me too 😂

FInally a breakdown of how to choose colors!! I love my RUclips beauty’s and their tutorials but this right here is what I needed. I want to be independent from just copying my fav RUclips personalities. Muchas gracias!!! 😘
Amen! I never understood how RUclipsrs picked their colors. I get it now.
I know so true I felt the same and was frustrated lol!
Yessss! Lol
THIS is the type of content i miss from Marlena!! I started watching her back in these days.
Wildflowerpm u
Wildflowerpm to
Wildflowerpm up
I really like this presentation the only thing missing was the actual makeup example on a real eye .from the board to the eye 👀👍
Classics stand the test of time. I watched this 4 years ago and I still recommend this (and you) to everyone I know. It’s 2019 and this information still stands. Thank you for always being true to what “beauty” really means.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We miss this Marlina. Not what youtube has done to her. Shes had to become defensive and just jaded I guess. I still watch and enjoy these informative and instructional videos of hers ❤❤❤ I suppose I will always support her in my own way
Watching this in 2019. Still relevant and works amazing. Thanks Marlena! ❤️🖤❤️🖤
THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY NUMBER 1 QUESTION WHEN USING A MULTIPLE COLOR PALLET. I ALWAYS JUST BUY THE 4 COLOR COMBO PACKS. HAVENT EVEN WATCHED THE VIDEO AND HAVE ALREADY SUBSCRIBED. LOL
Hold on... This was Marlena Stell??? I can't even tell that it's her.
Right ??
I mean she’s gorgeous now but then she was just HOT !
i thought maybe it was her sister especially with the voice. i love you MS
Yeah she gained weight. And fillers. But at the right time. She’s now in her 40s and looks 30 if even A bit of weight can add a youthful look
I never knew she was THIS tiny...i thought she said she was always heavy...I been watching YT since 2012 but didn’t know who she was until the end of makeup geeks popularity.
@@AFFTFOMSICHTS no, Im pretty sure she's said her weight has always been up and down, or maybe she said "struggled" with her weight. I could be wrong though. I've watched her for *many* years, but probably a year or so after this video. I actually like her lips better like this... beautiful smile. But I also like her with a little "meat" on her bones. She's truly a beautiful person and beautiful soul.
Wow, Marlena you are gorgeous in this video! Your bone structure and jaw line are stunning!!
Timeless advice, watching in July 2019!
Between you being so open and honest about your personal journey, and you taking time to make videos like this I'm subscribing. You are truly an encouragement.
I wish there was a video like this years ago. Kind of surprised no one has done an in depth tutorial with diagrams until now. Good job!
This is classic Marlena, useful and helpful videos. I learned how to apply makeup as an adult because of your videos Marlena!
Props for including dark skin peeps too.x 👌🏾
If I had beautiful products to be proud off, I would show them off too. She even said she was mentioning her colors but there are ones similar out there. I love you Marlena!
Marlene, I really love the natural way you teach! As a teacher, I know you would do and do a great job! You are fun to watch and you keep us interested! And, I like the information a lot!
Nice work, Marlena. I have been trying to experiment with different eye looks lately and these tips definitely help guide me. Also, I love the big poster of how exactly to map out colors.
Recommended in 2019... RUclips trying to get you to stay !
These are the types of videos beauty influencers should be putting out.. (I know this is old).. I’ve been watching her forEVER! ❤️
This is one of the best beauty tutorials I have seen in awhile. Great job Marlena!
I always do shimmers and rarely matte. I'm so going to dig into my matte shadows from now on. Thanks so much! Disco ball is over! :)
Love this video and how you explain monochromatic and polychromatic. I've never understood what those meant and now I do!! Also very helpful on how to pair stuff together. I don't know how many times I've looked at a palette and didn't know what to put together. Thank you!!

Thanks for always being amazing, Marlena!
I love your "educational " videos very much Marlena , they have saved me many times , I am a teacher myself and know pretty well that teaching certain skill isn't just anybody's ability , it needs a special talent :)
This is the kind of makeup video I enjoy watching.
Amazing video! this girl explains everything so clear and to the point.
Sometimes certain make up artists and go on and on....
Tell me about it 😅
This has become my favorite video. I love how you address the needs of women of all shades. Using the picture to explain was as excellent idea! This is such a great video. I will be able to apply what you've taught!
I love the names given to your eyeshadows. They seem to fit well plus the colors themselves are gorgeous.
Such a great video! Showed up in my reccomendations today and I learned a lot! Love to you Marlena 😘
Thank you so much for this video! I had a hard time with pairing the proper colors and I have a better understanding now! I'm trying to better my blending techniques & this helped a lot!
Try looking at a color wheel. That might help you decide what colors look nice together if you’re stuck
I love that you actually have these types of quick lessons. You've been a makeup professional that I watch regularly, and have inspired me to look into going to makeup academy!
I love this lady so much. You do so much work and it pays off. Thanks for making a makeup company so amazing! I love you. You inspire everyone around you!
You are my absolute "go-to" on tips for makeup application! Thank you again and again!!
neutrals are a girls best friend, next to a awesome eyebrow pencil.
I love these types of videos Marlena, I wish you continue them again
Makeup needs to come back to this.
Never too old a video to learn from 💕
RUclips, why would you put this in my recommendation after SIX YEARS?
Sea Lily same!!!! 🤔🤔🤔🙌🏻 thanks tho RUclips 👌🏻👾😂
Bc we all want to learn from Marlena !!! Ps me too
I love how versatile you are!! It's been hard for me to watch videos from those far from my complexion and even still, i end up confused. But you've been very inclusive/considerate of other skin colors and I have really enjoyed watching. Plus, you actually know what to do so I've struck gold coming across your channel lol!!!
Marlena, you beat me to asking for help with all the new shadows I got for Christmas. I hope this New Year brings you happiness, success, and someone special to share it with. You deserve it! Take care of you!
"No one wants to look all shimmery from head to toe"
Umm, I might be on the wrong tutorial 😂💕
Whoa baby Marlena
Peacock is such a gorgeous color! I can't wait to see what you come up with using that palette!
This popped up right on time! I'm going to be playing with eyeshadow and I've always wondered how people did their pairings. This has demystified the process and I feel confident enough to one day give it a go. Thank you☺
Great tutorial, it was very helpful I learned a lot:-)
i have this strong desire to spend like a hundred dollars on eye shadow and those little z pallets. Must resist ,
eerye70 same here lol
Saaaame!
You can get cheaper magnetic palettes that are just as good.
eerye70 me tooooooo. omg I just bought foundation and some stuff and dam I'm holding that last dollar to buy some "must" needed eyeshadows
Here 5 years later... this reminded me why I loved you from the beginning Marlena! You should do a “how to choose eyeshadows depending on your clothing” 🙏🏼
This is easily the BEST eyeshadow tutorial i have ever watched! Please do more videos like this! :)
Wow you are beautiful even still. You have come a long way. Today is April 20, 2019
Wow ... you explain stuff like a pro... in a very geeky way... subscribed :)
thank you for your in-depth information. we take what applies to us and move on. i'm sure it takes time to compile this info, set up and provide visuals for us. I truly appreciate this free service that you provide to YT viewers at the cost of your time, effort and energy! Thanks Marlena! Love your vids and tuts!
I loved the look of your eyeshadow...seems effortless and great for daytime
Da fcuk! I'm finding this now! I could have used this so bad.
there aren't only matte and shimmer eye shadows, theres also pearlescent, glittery, satin
Arielle Chraim I think she used shimmer as an umbrella term, eg a matte and non-mattes
This is by far hands down, the best makeup video I have ever watched. I went to study makeup in university and the tutors were nowhere near as helpful, experienced and awesome as you! Thank you so much x
YES Please do a video with that last quad u showed!! love the colors
hi new subby...ive been needing to know this so bad......omg thank you
2019. Wow i love her. Liked her lips here
Thank you so much for what you do Marlena (and team!). This was very helpful as was the last one. Love the large eye charts.
i think youre the only guru that still make tutorials since time!!!
Kinda Still Confused , Wish u would have pointed out which color goes where out of the quads
There's another video she did where she tells you that I think goes before this one
Marlena looked stunning back then and like a totally different person.
Thank you so much for making this video, I have always wondered who people chose the colors they picked for the beautiful looks I want to try! I can proceed with confidence now!
This is great, I'm new to putting makeup on others and I get overwhelmed by all the colours n palettes I have and always have to refer back to tutorials, so this really helps me identify what I can use together.

Joanne Carroll you don't have to refer to people as illiterate to make yourself seem intelligent
I never claimed to be more intelligent than anyone - just capable of reading. Guess you just proved my point.
lol so let me ask, why did you choose to use the term when it really didn't add to the information in the least? Also, if you are going to attempt to feign ignorance about what you were trying to infer, do you know the meaning of the term illiterate?
I only posted because I get tired of reading other people putting people down. You're obviously a smart person and you can portray that without being nasty.
Tori Dixon , Nicely said classy lady! 👍
can u reply the comments? damn
Thanks for this video, Marlena! Very informative, and I love the drawn-out illustrations!
I really enjoy watching your tutorials! It's so helpful for a new beginner! I am just now getting into learning how to do my makeup! Thank you so much!

I am not saying you can't use them at all. I am saying you have to use other colors between or divide them clearly to have that impact.
🤔
Anita Kovacs 👎👎👎👎👎
I don't get it 😟
omg she was alot thinner!
Celeste - omg she was so skinny!!! I’m not being mean. I’m bigger than I’ve ever been. I know the struggle. I’m just making an observation. She’s pretty no matter what. I love her makeup too.
That’s her when she gastric bypass surgery. She gone back to her bigger size now.
Super SUPER informative. I feel like I am sitting in her classroom :) gotta love make up gurus who are intelligent and talented!
You are a great educator in the makeup industry. Thank you so much! I wish I had a video like this when I was starting out with makeup, much easier than trying to go through tutorials knowing very little about what looks good together.

DolphinGirl826 She just gives a general guide for beginners. When you're more experienced it's easier to do whatever you want 😜
DolphinGirl826 i was just thinking this
Wow u lost tone weight here
Hoped u d maintain it
Thank you so much for taking the time to make these types of videos! Even though I've been wearing makeup for many years, I have acquired some bad habits in application techniques and color choices. You're videos are VERY helpful! Please keep creating these types of videos. 😃
You are so awesome for putting this together. This is the best explanation so far on how eyeshadows are used.🙏🏼😘
This is from only 6 yeas ago? That's a very short time to change so much & become unrecognizable. And I don't mean the weight, it's too much surgery & fillers. Sad that she felt the need for it.
Marlena. I REQUESTED this vid when you posted the Eye Shapes Vid. NEVER have I requested a vid and it was actually made. You are truly the best. Thank you thank you!! U dont know how big this is!!
Brilliant! You def should do more of these 'educational'/ how-to style videos! I can watch tutorials till I'm blue in the face. But these teaching videos are really more about giving me the tools to LEARN how to be better at home. SUPER helpful! Thanks
I love this channel! I love makeup, and this has definitely helped me get better and my application.
Very informative, Marlena! Thank you for the close ups, and for all your hard work! I always look forward to your videos!
Amy
Always amazing!!! Can't believe how much effort you put into these videos. Gotta love it
Makeup Geek eyeshadows are incredible. I cannot have enough!
all i've been watching this week is your videos I'm so glad i found you again
Thank you for sharing these tips! The last quad with the blues and neutrals is gorgeous. I'd love to see a tutorial.
First ever sensible and professional makeup video.
Thank you for breaking down the terminology and giving us such a detailed break down in Makeup 101!!!
I'm so glad I found you last year. I've learned so much from you and have invested about $200 in makeup because of you. I've gotten so many compliments about wearing makeup now. I look better and I feel better and I love it. I just $86 dollars worth of makeup geek eyeshadows. I can't wait to try them out and the hubby didnt even complain that I spent so much because he sees how great I look and how happy I am lately. Thank you for teaching people like me better tricks & making me love makeup aga
This was really great Marlena! I love your eyeshadows so much and definitely want to buy more. I just went travelling and the only eyeshadows I brang with me were your ones in a Z-pallete! I love them and can't wait for you to make more.
I love that you include shades for every skin color!
Great video, I love how you explain things so thoroughly
I was looking for exactly this. I finally found you, today. Made my Saturday! I subscribed 😊 and can't wait to look at all your tips and tricks.
Love when u do videos like this, always so informative and helpful! Thanks
Love to see a video on these color shadows going with the color eye. Thanks I feel I'm sleepy at this moment I was enjoying lots of ur videos & I have a sleep problem
thanks for this! ive been a little more knowledgable for colors to look for when purchasing palettes and this is a true eye opener. i love look for the darkest matte shade and the most golden shimmer shade and then check out the other colors. im medium-dark, so i luckily get away with some lighter colors and the darker ones as well. would have loved a display of actually added the colors to the paper and then adding the colors to a person. great video!
I love this video! Thanks for breaking it down like this. I love it when you do these kind of 'makeup school' videos! Keep 'em coming!
