    The YT Beauty space NEEDS YOU, Marlena! Years back watching your channel showed me I really wasn’t shallow, vain or self-centered for loving makeup. It gave me the confidence to follow my own intuition and I can’t begin to tell you how it’s shaped my life for the better. ❤ THANK YOU!

      I hear shape tape is actually pretty good if used in "a little goes a long way, less is more" kind of way because of how pigmented it is. I never actually tried it, though, cuz it wasn't available in Canada when I was in the market for a concealer and I still have a bunch of other concealers in the fridge from back then that I yet have to start, but I'm really looking forward to getting to try it one day now that is has become available to us too! Just absolutely not caked on à la 2016 😂

    You are such a teacher at heart Marlena. Your instructions are always clear and helpful. I hope Lexy enjoyed her nap. And if I could suggest a recreation of a makeup look it would be from 2022 when Maria Menounos wore a green dress to the Oscars. She had a cat eye type of makeup look that seemed to use both black and green eyeliner. She's beautiful no matter what. But I think that makeup look was so pretty on her. I would love it if you could recreate it.

    Marlena it helps that you're gorgeous to begin with even without a stitch of makeup on! I try so hard to follow your guidelines but it never turns out as beautiful as how you do it! 😖 I do have a quick question for you; if you have hooded eyes, like I do, and I have mature - looser skin on my upper lids, can I still do that trick with the cream dark brown cream shadow along the lash line and wing it out?

    • @MarlenaStell
      @MarlenaStell  Год назад +1

      Yes the cream shadow should work! But make sure to set with a powder so it doesn’t crease on the hooded part of that makes sense. Keep the color as close to lash line as possible and only on outer half. Let me know how it works for you!

    You know, I was just thinking, how different but.... I don't know how to put it, but basically, you had a successful makeup company and RUclips then when things went south I don't remember hearing much. No drama like you see others going through, no girl drama, no fighting, and you rode it out with class, holding on to your dignity when you could have easily clapped back .. and now you're like a new you... still classy, still respected, with a lot of us here to support you. That fact that after everything you've been through, you didn't lower your standards or morality... it's empowering, encouraging, and it shows us all that bad things happen to good people, but that doesn't mean it's the end. I don't know if that makes sense and I usually never comment. I don't know how to explain it. Like when you think of certain people, we're just over it, done with the drama, people have done awful things and act like the victim, and here you were, an actual victim acting like a champ. Not that you're a victim, you know what I mean. And if you don't, sorry. To put it short... You're an inspiration, and I can't wait to see what's in store for you.

    I love using shadow for liner and to beef up the look of my lash line. And it even works great to prevent eyeliner from feathering outside where you want it or to completely vanish shortly after applying- by locking a liner down with a similar tone shadow. I’m also absolutely loving these eye shadow sticks from Milani, Flower, WnW, and other affordable brands as a one and some eye look… swipe, tap and out the door looking as if you really spent some time on your eye look that day.🔥

    Yes, step away from the makeup! I learned this a long time ago, before I learned this, you could peel away layer upon layer of makeup and it would transfer to not just my clothing but my fingers during the day and lift like no one’s business- I was trying to look flawless but it was flawed big time. I stopped watching and listening to most gurus and started experimenting on my own. I knew I finessed my application when I had 2 co-workers ask me two different questions. 1st- did you just come back from a facial, cause your skin looks amazing”. And the second was “are you even wearing makeup?” I knew I finally nailed that polished look that was so subtle that no one knew I had makeup on, just that my skin look amazing, I looked like I slept well (I was working night shift at our local hospital and no one looks awake on night shift), my skin wasn’t feeling irritated under multiple layers of makeup. Now, a thin application of corrected, concealer, foundation, bronzer and blush, a dusting of a shade darker than my skin tone shadow on my eyelids, a smudge of liner (usually brown or gray as black looks harsh on me) and mascara and gently filled in brows. Most of my makeup is cream based, I only very lightly powder under my eyes, my lids and t-zone, no more baking. I am now 61 and people still ask if I am wearing makeup so those fine wrinkles and crows feet around my eyes and lips aren’t so noticeable. For me, subtle is more elegant and sexier.

      @@MarlenaStell I'm so excited. I learned about MG right at the tail end, unfortunately. I was able to get some shadows, blush, and bronzers. I've been into makeup since the late 90s, but never really learn learned the better ways to do things. I have Bobbi Brown's books, Kevin Aucoin's books, etc... But watching your videos specifically, being able to pause, go back, try again... They are so invaluable. Makeup is my self care. I was a teacher and now, a therapist. If I can help you with any curriculum, teaching info, therapy info, etc...I will gladly help. It's the least I can do for what you've provided to me. Ever since your favorites video a few weeks ago, I've been using the Lancome primer. Nars Sheer Glow is next on my list. Lol.
      I have SO many makeup brushes and I know they can be used for a variety of things. Would you possibly make a comprehensive video on makeup brushes, not just for what they are routinely used for, but where else they may be handy? I was trying to match my brushes to pictures I found on Pinterest. I can't imagine that I'm the only one who has bought kits of good brushes but still struggle to know which brush is the best brush, especially for eyeshadow and blending. I even looked at the company you recommended... The one that starts with an A... But didn't see eye brushes that I don't already have. I have Rephr brushes, Elf, BK, and don't really know the maximum benefits of the shapes. Some are self-explanatory but others could be for blending but could be for other things too. Then you have big blending brushes and more refined ones. So. Many. Brushes. I'm looking for an intermediate class/video if possible. I would be so grateful. Thank you so much for your time. I truly appreciate it. - Jenn
