LOVE her down to earth attitude... "I just slap on foundation with my hands and hope for the best" - "as you can see I'm quite relaxed about makeup" - "that was just laziness and a mistake on my part" etc :D
A lot of you guys are saying Mary is being too rough on Claudia's skin but actually that MAC face and body foundation NEEDS that kind of massaging because it's so liquidy. That makeup has to be massaged into the skin to form this sort of film which also makes the makeup look so much more natural and beautiful.
The model seems so lovely and kind of shy , so whenever Mary's expressing her quite the opposite personality she seems little overwhelmed !It's just so fun to watch two totally different personalities in one video ! Both are so lovely and amazing ! I really did enjoy and learned a lot from it !
Tsk. I'm quite shocked by the level of ignorance. Those who are complaining about Mary's application and attitude really don't know anything about the industry. She's a legend and many successful MUA's that we have today have assisted her including our darling Lisa Eldridge and the fabulous Charlotte Tilbury. It's just like those teenagers these days who are bashing Mariah Carey without even knowing her legendary body of work. All the geniuses in history have been slightly eccentric. But just look at the flawless and impeccable result at the end. I personally would be honoured to have this lady "slap my face around" if you wanna call it that.
I know you wrote that a year ago or so, but I want to thank you so much for putting my thoughts in words. I am 25, still pretty young I think and every day I feel ashamed or even disgusted with kids-these-days appropriating, misunderstanding or bashing the past. I don't think age is an excuse for ignorance, not when you have the Internet connection. It simply baffles me so much that they associate contouring with Kardashians, rather than decades of theatre and drag make up and blindly trust and follow all these self proclaimed "MUAs" and "experts", who are simply money making machines with no real passion. And I love that you've used Mariah as an example, as I am huge fan of hers and her work and I think it's beyond discussion that her impeccable artistry, technique and musicallity make her the very best vocalist in non classical music (first 15 years of her career). But all these kids see and hear is a divorced mom with weight strugles, two kids and nodules and very over-the-top persona they don't get (and which is basically a charisma of a real diva, something very lacking today). Once again, thanks a lot and bless your heart!
ocandro No truer words. I keep coming back to this video and Lisa's channel in general because we see actual professionals at work. Even Charlotte Tilbury with her brand is catering to Instagram and so on to sell products (not a bad thing, just what a business has to do) and Lisa seems safe from all that
isa If she was really "rough" towards her clients, do you think A-list celebs like Cate Blanchett or the late Princess Diana would engage her repeatedly? Her career has spanned decades. Surely she wouldn't have lasted this long if she wasn't doing it right.
Oh my GOD! I love this woman! Her talent and career success are obvious. At the same time she reminds me of an absolutely hammered English Aunt sneaking Scotch in her tea. I needed that!
Mary is a queen! I love the way she talks and approaches her philosophy of makeup application. I could see why you looked up to her soooo much!!! Amazing.
Mary is dead on about needing to look at the skin and lip tones of a redhead, not the hair! If only someone had told me this when I was young. Most makeup counter folks don't understand there are both warm and cool redheads, which leaves us cool-toned ones so confused, as the standard "redhead" advice is for the warm-toned ones. I see the same thing happens on the model as on me, which is the lip color always looks several shades warmer on my lips than in the tube. I have to go very mauve to match my natural lip tone. Clinique "Graped Up" and Mac "Midimauve" are the closest things I've found to my natural lip color. I was looking at the wrong end of the color spectrum for 40 years before I figured this out! Thanks again for such a great video!
Yes! You speak much truth lol! I find the seasons technique for discovering one's ideal colors holds very true and helpful for us gingers. My family is full of Gingers, and we are all different seasons, warm and cool. Even though we are closely related and all with similar shades of Ginger hair and clear eyelashes and eyebrows. But our skin tones are very very different, and we must wear different colors of clothing and makeups or we would look really weird LOL.
Fantastic that your family has it figured out :-) It seemed that in the 80s, the seasons technique threw me in autumn based on hair color, and the skin was assumed to be warm. I am glad this has evolved since then!! I was really surprised to discover I have brown lashes and brows, not clear or red. Again, I probably didn't really look till I was close to 40!
In my opinion, she was not aggressive with the model, she was just being....well, what a makeup artist on a fashion show is. Do you think they have the time to be all fluffy and gentle? No! They must do makeup quickly and efficiently. I think that the girl (that is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo gorgeous) knows that. And she was amazing as a model by the way.
Also, Mary doesn't use too many brushes. So it's important for her to use her fingers efficiently to blend in the foundation and concealer seamlessly so it doesn't look patchy. Too bad too many people think she's a bit too rough :) xx
+Semara Simu Shahin I think we compare her to Lisa who seems to be incredibly gentle. We're used to her gentle nature and approach so it does seem a bit jarring to see Mary. Who of course is brilliant in her own right.
Michelle Rivas of course... Every makeup artist has their style. She used to princess Diana personnal makeup artist though. I don't think she would've chose her if she was too rough, there's enough MUA to choose from. Here, there's only one person, so no she doesn't need to work as fast or in a rush. But this is her style, and she did someone's makeup in about 15 minutes, which is pretty much the dream. I'm rambling at this point 😂
Lisa Eldrige, Mary Greenwell and Charlotte Tilbury are my makeup artist icons. Their work is so flawless and their knowledge is huge. I love how Mary works, true inspiration !
When i went to makeup school they always reiterated not to use my hands because "it looses the exclusivity and respect for space" kind of feel for the clients, i always wondered why and I couldn't understand why using my hands would be a bad thing. They also taught me not to ask my clients to rub in their lips for me because according to my teachers, it was my job to blend it in, i kind of understood that, but i still didnt find it wrong to ask. Now, seeing Mary Greenwell whip up her magic once again with all my schools rules broken, I can't help but think "i dont give a damn what my teachers said" hahaha! Honestly, i never really followed the rules once i was done with school and now im so glad i didnt stick to the rules. This collaboration is one of the best! I hope to see more of her in the future. So much to learn from you both.
Yeah screw the rules. Pat Mcgrath also loves using her hands to apply foundation. As Lisa Eldridge said, the tactile experience allows you to understand the product better and the warmth of your hands actually helps the product to melt and blend into your skin more seamlessly.
This is beyond amazing. This is the kind of makeup i love. This really brings out the beautiful features, versus just layering on a bunch of products that are relatively unnecessary.
How can people not love this? So freaking cool, she just slaps shit on and it looks fantastic! Personally I like the way she just bosses the model around, hahah. Sure the model looks slightly uncofortable but it seems like she's just generally awkard in front of the camera. You can see that she really likes the look by the way she smiles into the camera between the applications. Mary Greenswell seems like an amazing person and she's allowed to boss my face around anytime she wants to
People are so sensitive these days. Just because Mary Greenwell doesn't touch the models face like she will shatter if she isn't gentle doesn't mean she was being aggressive. You need to blend in foundation well and really buff it into the skin to get a nice finish and if you are sitting here saying "I wouldn't want her to be my makeup artist because she is rough" then that is ridiculous, Mary is an AMAZING makeup artist and just because she doesn't agree with the things that " beauty gurus" do doesn't mean what she does is wrong. You are all brainwashed with this idea that makeup artists are gentle when doing makeup but that's not how it is!! When you are doing makeup for fashion week and hectic fashion shows believe it or not you don't have time to be gentle with the model, she is not gonna go cry because you rubbed in foundation a little bit harder then someone would on your wedding day, she does what needs to be done to get a flawless look fast! There is nothing wrong with rubbing in foundation the way she did, and her model does not look tired or stressed, she actually looks like she is impressed with the fact that Mary is real and tough, because this is what the modeling and fashion world is all about, you are not treated like a princess and I don't know why you would want to be. People really need to get over themselves.
I agree with you but there was a point in the video where she was literally slapping the foundation on the model's skin. You can't blame people for thinking it was aggressive.
I agree. I can see why people thought Mary was being too aggressive, but if you watch her fingers on Claudia's face, the skin isn't stretching. Mary is particularly gentle around the eyes, the skin doesn't stretch, isn't pinched. She's just doing the makeup the way a makeup artist would on a job with limited time, quickly and efficiently.
Flyingburberries It's called tapping, not slapping. Tapping, just like the korean way of applying skincare, helps the product to blend and melt into the skin, making it appear more seamless and natural.
lol I made that comment three years ago but I said slapping bc she was being rather rough with her movements. Tapping consists of light and gentle movements but to each their own.
I adore Mary's approach to makeup in general. Very fresh and modern looking which is what any Lisa Eldridge fan has come to appreciate in her work. Also I find no problem with Mary's truly hands-on approach. It makes the makeup application more real and less fussy. I think sometimes we get wrapped up in needing 10 brushes for every face look. Brilliant makeup by a brilliant artist!
I love love love that she said she's making it almost unperfected. This is the rule of makeup that I have lived by since I began doing makeup. I'm almost so surprised that a very famous makeup artist said that. Mary is amazing!
Also you are going to love the new videos that Mary has on her OWN RUclips channel from ig lives. Where she is doing 15 minute tutorials of STUNNING plain gorgeous makeup. I never know if it’s the model or her, but both of them are just chefs kiss
This is one of my favorite make-overs of Mary's. A no-make up make up look. PERFECT. The model looks exquisite. Her looks werent altered, just magically enhanced.
Mary is such a joyful and down-to-earth person. I love her, she is so amazing. When she pinched off the excess mascara and acknowledged her "laziness". I have never seen a make up artist do that :) And the result...simply wow
Mary is KIND OF intimidating but KIND OF likeable :D I find it hilarious how someone so seemingly fragile like Claudia is paired up to be Mary's model for the day, but the end result is beautiful tbh! (Also I love how sloppy Mary is with her makeup, I used to be like that but then I thought I needed to use any kind of approach that's more "professional" in order for my makeup to look better but you know what?? I'm throwing that idea out the window right away. Back to using fingers to apply makeup!!!!)
Mary Greenwell is amazing I love how she explains makeup and how down to earth she is... she is simple, practical and doesnt need a million products or hours like some youtube makeup gurus.
I come back and rewatch Mary's videos on your channel all the time. I've seen these two with Claudia at LEAST 10 times. I feel like I learn so much every time.
This is natural fresh beauty of youth like a "flower" that we cannot see much on young girls these days. It's all about perfection now; something that the American popular culture has made "trendy"... I love this kind of approach to makeup and I love the application because it is as natural as the conclusion..
+Haneen z YES! Like a natural look for olive skintones right? I generally know that i have to use yellow, warm toned stuff, but how does one make everything harmonious without looking too yellow and too sickly
Julia Cardoso Thanks for the tip but nah I'd rather pass haha :) Actually, I detest BB creams - they usually have a pink or beige undertone, contain sunscreen in it, and darker shades are lacking in variation on the market. Also, I was referring to colours to be used on the eyes/ lips/ cheeks in order to create a harmonious look, and not in reference to the shades of foundation :)
Oh yes! I love Karima; have been following her for some time. However, I'm darker than she is - pale olive skin tones and darker olive skin tones tend to require different kinds of attention as they usually belong to people of different colourings I've found. I did get some great foundation recommendations from Karima and I try mixing my existing foundation with the paler olive ones. Lisa recently did a look on the model Neelam(?) which was Amazing!! Yeah - I'd wish for a natural look with someone like her with tips on colour combinations and the such ~ :)
I love watching Mary Greenwell work!!! She makes it seem effortless and real. Nothing cakey or fake - period. How do I even ever become her assistant??
She slapped her? Omg some of you people are such wusses. She barely patted it in. Have you ever been to a facialist? The skin is meant to be massaged with that kind of force to increase bloodflow and by massaging in and patting the MAC foundation, it really melts into the skin. It gives you a more lumionous, flawless finish. Make-up shouldn't be painful, but, it shouldn't put you to sleep, either. Also, Mary is really real, if you've watched any of her videos, she is quite the character, but, she's really respectful, I don't find her to be stuck up AT ALL. I'd rather have someone go straight to the point, than sugar coat everything with lots of adjectives and end up looking like a mess. Some people are such sensitive snobs nowadays, have you been to the real world lately? The model obviously wasn't used to Mary's technique, but, I doubt she found it uncomfortable. In the end, the girl looked beautiful and timeless, not like a Kim K. drag queen.
I love that she uses her fingers! I have found that with delicate, pimple prone skin brushes and sponges are NEVER clean enough! Also, I have found patting with my fingers I get a wonderful texture :)
Wow I've literally watched this video so many times since the day it came out five years ago, I can recite every word. I used to fall asleep to it like every night bc I find it super relaxing. Coming back to it now brings back those days lol 😂 I will forever love this video so much 💖
I am enamoured watching Mary work. So light and simple and such a great approach to make up. I'd dearly love to see more of her videos especially make up as your skin matures. I'm 44 & would love some tips.
This is Mary Greenwell not your typical "makeup guru". She is an icon to anyone who is obsessed and is part of the Make-up world. She wasn't aggressive at all, if you want to go see aggressive then go back stage to a behind schedule fashion show. Those artist basically slap the make up on and spin you around.
Oh my god..... She is hysterical! I'm in love with her. Honestly Lisa, you have got to do more tutorials with her. The make up was beautiful as well. This was one of my favorite tutorials I have seen on your channel!
I love her attitude and blunt gestures with the makeup. I use a light slap on my own skin during foundation. For me it helps pink up my skin so when I add blush I can follow the natural flush I've already given myself. Watching her is like watching an artist work on a canvas. They're quick,messy, but very precise. She knows what she wants and how to do it and therefore cruises quickly through each step! I could watch her all day. Absolutely amazing. Having very fair skin myself I understand the struggle with proper color match. :).
People bitching about her "slapping" the model's face have apparently never tried patting MAC F&B in to their skin. Trust me, it looks its absolute best when you pat it in. It may look stupid, but it works.
I love the look. I wish someone could do that one me. Every time I get makeup done I look like a clown afterwards. I couldn't stop but picture Mary slapping on makeup like that on Lady Di, which bizarrely amused me....great approach to makeup after all these gurus on youtube and their collections of a million different brushes, here comes the real pro and gives everyone a reality check. Love it.
Throughout the whole video I was smiling. Mary does have such a bubbly and lovely character yet is so intelligent and classy at the same time. Really loved this video!
FINALLY...someone has embrased the natural, pale redhead. I might faint. She was so beautiful. Very angelic. Unfortunately for me, I am pale, but I get quite red in my cheeks and a bit blotchy (English/German skin). I don't know if someone even as amazing as you both could do anything with me, but I truly loved this tutorial. Thank you.
+Gail Fattori This would be a great look for anyone with fair skin, not just redheads. I love how subtle it is. Mary made the model still look like herself, but more ethereal and glowing. I'm just tired of all the amateur RUclips make-up artists who slather on layers and layers of make-up and look unrecognizable when they're done putting on their masks of make-up. It's great to watch a real pro in action.
+Gail Fattori If you're worried about redness on your face, use Shiseido's Benefiance. If you don't want to buy it yet (it is quite expensive), try to sample it. I got two samples luckily
Exactly the MAC product I've used for years! I actually apply the same way, as it melts into the skin for a flawless finish. Have always loved the work of both of these ladies.
This woman is incredible, incredible good and talented! Such a pleasure watching her working and see how she comes to the perfect final result ❤️🙏 Wonderful, thanks Lisa for this video and thanks Mary for doing it. So in love 😍

BUT at the same time having a fabulous result! So pretty
agree ,lisa is much more gentle with her client
Bob ross of makeup artist if you ask me..
Vforfettuccine A finger-painting Bob Ross. "Let's paint happy trees, but I don't use brushes, waste of product" 😍 I love her so much
Haha yes!! The bob Ross of makeup 😂😂 great
She looks so pretty and delicate like a fairy omg
Maybe a secret kick-boxer with tattoos and a harley-davidson!
@@pheart2381 haha
she's like those painters who draw really quick and casually but still produce a masterpiece 😂😂 such a natural talent
Momo Blanc hahaha I agree
You read my mind
Agadanak 😇🐱⛪👕👖⏳:-)
Claudia has to be my favorite model on this channel. She has such an ethereal and angelic look to her. Beautiful!
+EvaValenti (ember-snow) do you know her full name?
+Eleni Tsou No, unfortunately, I don't know. :(
I found it! it's Claudia Devlin!
Etheral basically means fragile and elegant.
And Heather
A lot of you guys are saying Mary is being too rough on Claudia's skin but actually that MAC face and body foundation NEEDS that kind of massaging because it's so liquidy. That makeup has to be massaged into the skin to form this sort of film which also makes the makeup look so much more natural and beautiful.
Grace It's the truth! I used a brush when I first got the stuff, it needs TLC for days 😂 Still use it though
The model seems so lovely and kind of shy , so whenever Mary's expressing her quite the opposite personality she seems little overwhelmed !It's just so fun to watch two totally different personalities in one video ! Both are so lovely and amazing ! I really did enjoy and learned a lot from it !
Claudia's exasperated look when Mary says "I'm going to cover up Claudia's pimples" just cracked me up
"slap it on--and hope for the best" .. yup,totally how i feel when doing base/foundation
i love her!she talks fast! XD
I feel the same way with every part of makeup lol
+Bellelynx She's absolutely brilliant, I've laughed so much.
Bellelynx That was me the first time I put on foundation. It was for a play, and I had no idea how to do it.

This is beyond amazing. This is the kind of makeup i love. This really brings out the beautiful features, versus just layering on a bunch of products that are relatively unnecessary.
That girl is a legit doll omg 😍
I can't get over how gorgeous this model is. One of my favourite make up tutorials ever. I always come back to it.
The model Claudia is so lovely. She looks like a ballet dancer. I love how light Mary went with the make up.
How can people not love this? So freaking cool, she just slaps shit on and it looks fantastic! Personally I like the way she just bosses the model around, hahah.

I'm always amazed because I love the very casual way she applies and always has it come out looking amazing.

six years later and this is still my favorite makeup video in youtube. I still apply my foundation with my hands because of this video!

Mary Greenwell is the Bob Ross of makeup.
Isn't it remarkable how many great make up artists are left handed? This was so useful to me, being super pale. Mary is Magnificent!!
I've seriously watched this 5 or 6 times, just because Mary is so incredible.
Tonight I was feeling very depressed, so I decided to watch this video(for maybe the tenth time) and it has made me feel so much better.
This is one of my favorite make-overs of Mary's. A no-make up make up look. PERFECT. The model looks exquisite. Her looks werent altered, just magically enhanced.
This is my all time favourite makeup look/Tutorial of all those I've ever seen
Wow! I love this look. She brought out her features . Wow
Mary is such a joyful and down-to-earth person. I love her, she is so amazing. When she pinched off the excess mascara and acknowledged her "laziness". I have never seen a make up artist do that :) And the result...simply wow
Mary is KIND OF intimidating but KIND OF likeable :D I find it hilarious how someone so seemingly fragile like Claudia is paired up to be Mary's model for the day, but the end result is beautiful tbh! (Also I love how sloppy Mary is with her makeup, I used to be like that but then I thought I needed to use any kind of approach that's more "professional" in order for my makeup to look better but you know what?? I'm throwing that idea out the window right away. Back to using fingers to apply makeup!!!!)
+Hana O'Glatison I agree. I love how she stresses that it needs to look real...like on the eyebrows especially. So natural.
Mary Greenwell is amazing I love how she explains makeup and how down to earth she is... she is simple, practical and doesnt need a million products or hours like some youtube makeup gurus.
I love her blunt honesty. So refreshing and I appreciate her cutting through all the makeup B.S.
More Mary Greenwell videos would be really nice.
This look is so fresh and bright, and really daring to go for bare-looking eyes, it's bold but somehow minimum, i love it.
that model is so so beautiful!
I come back and rewatch Mary's videos on your channel all the time. I've seen these two with Claudia at LEAST 10 times. I feel like I learn so much every time.
I just never ever get bored of watching Lisa and Mary. I just wish they would do a video of them doing each other’s make up.
This is natural fresh beauty of youth like a "flower" that we cannot see much on young girls these days. It's all about perfection now; something that the American popular culture has made "trendy"...
I love this kind of approach to makeup and I love the application because it is as natural as the conclusion..
can you do one of these for olive skintones? I'd like to see what kind of colours would match olive complexions
+Haneen z YES! Like a natural look for olive skintones right? I generally know that i have to use yellow, warm toned stuff, but how does one make everything harmonious without looking too yellow and too sickly
+Ruth S. I prefer to use bb creams instead of foundation, because foundations are usually more yellow-ish (that's my tip)
Julia Cardoso Thanks for the tip but nah I'd rather pass haha :) Actually, I detest BB creams - they usually have a pink or beige undertone, contain sunscreen in it, and darker shades are lacking in variation on the market. Also, I was referring to colours to be used on the eyes/ lips/ cheeks in order to create a harmonious look, and not in reference to the shades of foundation :)
+Ruth S. Karima McKimmie here on youtube has an olive undertone and she is amazing at doing makeup. She reminds me of Lisa herself. check her out!
Oh yes! I love Karima; have been following her for some time. However, I'm darker than she is - pale olive skin tones and darker olive skin tones tend to require different kinds of attention as they usually belong to people of different colourings I've found. I did get some great foundation recommendations from Karima and I try mixing my existing foundation with the paler olive ones. Lisa recently did a look on the model Neelam(?) which was Amazing!! Yeah - I'd wish for a natural look with someone like her with tips on colour combinations and the such ~ :)
The model is gorgeous!!! So jealous! Also love the makeup artist. She is lovely.
Wow. Amazing. A true artist. In her manner and approach. Well done. Thank you Lisa for sharing Ms. Greenwell. x
I love watching Mary Greenwell work!!! She makes it seem effortless and real. Nothing cakey or fake - period. How do I even ever become her assistant??
She slapped her? Omg some of you people are such wusses. She barely patted it in. Have you ever been to a facialist? The skin is meant to be massaged with that kind of force to increase bloodflow and by massaging in and patting the MAC foundation, it really melts into the skin. It gives you a more lumionous, flawless finish. Make-up shouldn't be painful, but, it shouldn't put you to sleep, either.
Also, Mary is really real, if you've watched any of her videos, she is quite the character, but, she's really respectful, I don't find her to be stuck up AT ALL. I'd rather have someone go straight to the point, than sugar coat everything with lots of adjectives and end up looking like a mess. Some people are such sensitive snobs nowadays, have you been to the real world lately? The model obviously wasn't used to Mary's technique, but, I doubt she found it uncomfortable.
In the end, the girl looked beautiful and timeless, not like a Kim K. drag queen.
Oh God I love her!
She is so talented! I love how she did the blush!
I love that she uses her fingers! I have found that with delicate, pimple prone skin brushes and sponges are NEVER clean enough! Also, I have found patting with my fingers I get a wonderful texture :)
It's amazing the difference even the tiniest bit of mascara makes! I love this look.
Wow I've literally watched this video so many times since the day it came out five years ago, I can recite every word. I used to fall asleep to it like every night bc I find it super relaxing. Coming back to it now brings back those days lol 😂 I will forever love this video so much 💖
The models eyes! Never seen eyes like that before, amazing!
Love her attitude!
Oh my... I absolutely LOVE how sparkly Mary's personality is... Just like you, Lisa, she has the best vibe and attitude :)
Wow! I learnt so much, and I have olive skin! I love her ''real'' and joyful approach to makeup!
I love this woman hahaha. Also, it's nice to see a tutorial for really pale girls - these colours look like they could actually work on me!
I'm seriously gonna cry this is so beautiful
Absolutely gorgeous! So inspired! Thank you for the incredible video and helping me to understand makeup for red heads and pale skin.
She LITERALLY throws the makeup on and it looks PERFECT!? WHAT!? Like that's goals
the model is so beautiful and I keep on coming back to this video because Marry did such a great job on making her look flawlessly natural
Mary is a hoot! :)
The model is absolutely beautiful!
The model is SOOOOOOO beautiful !
I am enamoured watching Mary work. So light and simple and such a great approach to make up. I'd dearly love to see more of her videos especially make up as your skin matures. I'm 44 & would love some tips.
Glad to know that I'm not the only one who applies foundation with my fingers. It gives such a nice finish !
This is Mary Greenwell not your typical "makeup guru". She is an icon to anyone who is obsessed and is part of the Make-up world. She wasn't aggressive at all, if you want to go see aggressive then go back stage to a behind schedule fashion show. Those artist basically slap the make up on and spin you around.
That model is so damn gorgeous! 😘
I love this video I am blonde with light green eyes AND TRIED A VERZION OF THIS TODAY and it came out great
Oh my god..... She is hysterical! I'm in love with her. Honestly Lisa, you have got to do more tutorials with her. The make up was beautiful as well. This was one of my favorite tutorials I have seen on your channel!
I love her attitude and blunt gestures with the makeup. I use a light slap on my own skin during foundation. For me it helps pink up my skin so when I add blush I can follow the natural flush I've already given myself. Watching her is like watching an artist work on a canvas. They're quick,messy, but very precise. She knows what she wants and how to do it and therefore cruises quickly through each step! I could watch her all day. Absolutely amazing. Having very fair skin myself I understand the struggle with proper color match. :).
I love this woman, she's hilarious and obviously incredibly talented.
You're the one for me, what is mary for you. I hope someday I cound reach what u guys have reached ! You are just amazing
People bitching about her "slapping" the model's face have apparently never tried patting MAC F&B in to their skin. Trust me, it looks its absolute best when you pat it in. It may look stupid, but it works.
Her skin looked absolutely perfect! She looked amazing and I can only imagine the compliments she got once she went out with this look :)
Mary is wonderful and her makeup is subtle, beautiful, natural perfection.
I actually LOVE HER TUFF WAY....she's REAL!
I love the look. I wish someone could do that one me. Every time I get makeup done I look like a clown afterwards. I couldn't stop but picture Mary slapping on makeup like that on Lady Di, which bizarrely amused me....great approach to makeup after all these gurus on youtube and their collections of a million different brushes, here comes the real pro and gives everyone a reality check. Love it.
OMG she's the prettiest redhead I've ever seen! SO perfect.
This is so inspiring. I love her spunk and passion for makeup.
Thank you so much for inviting Ms. Greenwell! She is brilliant!
it looks so fresh, young and nice, i LOVE it, i'm tired of all that heavy contouring caky makeup
Yessss girl! Me too :( xx
Same! In a world full of Kardashinans, be an Audrey Hepburn. :)
"do not go straight from the brush to face...you will probably make a mistake"
haha I've watched this video so many times and I still laugh :)
I can't believe the people in the comments section. Mary is a freaking makeup legend! I'd kill for her to do my makeup 💕💕🙏
Throughout the whole video I was smiling. Mary does have such a bubbly and lovely character yet is so intelligent and classy at the same time. Really loved this video!
Wow! she looks angelic! So beautiful! I love simple natural glowing makeup!
Holy cow that model is gorgeous.
FINALLY...someone has embrased the natural, pale redhead. I might faint. She was so beautiful. Very angelic. Unfortunately for me, I am pale, but I get quite red in my cheeks and a bit blotchy (English/German skin). I don't know if someone even as amazing as you both could do anything with me, but I truly loved this tutorial. Thank you.
p.s. Sorry, misspell... embraced.
+Gail Fattori This would be a great look for anyone with fair skin, not just redheads. I love how subtle it is. Mary made the model still look like herself, but more ethereal and glowing. I'm just tired of all the amateur RUclips make-up artists who slather on layers and layers of make-up and look unrecognizable when they're done putting on their masks of make-up. It's great to watch a real pro in action.
+Gail Fattori If you're worried about redness on your face, use Shiseido's Benefiance. If you don't want to buy it yet (it is quite expensive), try to sample it. I got two samples luckily
+Gail Fattori Green concealer to the redness before you put on foundation.
Beautiful result. I wish she could do mine!
Exactly the MAC product I've used for years! I actually apply the same way, as it melts into the skin for a flawless finish. Have always loved the work of both of these ladies.
This woman is incredible, incredible good and talented! Such a pleasure watching her working and see how she comes to the perfect final result ❤️🙏 Wonderful, thanks Lisa for this video and thanks Mary for doing it. So in love 😍
