Marlena...you should sell that eye shadow stand sitting behind of you as a holiday collection type thing.....or offer the entire collection of MUG shadows with a little discount because I would happily buy either. :) Great video. Love this series. 😍

@millenyrodriguez7860 7 лет назад

Amanda Pethtel love the idea

@theadventuresofkeira866 7 лет назад

Also the L.A girl pro foundation in white is an amazing mixer for lightening ur foundation! It does not change the consistency or compramise the formula. I love it!!

@gertrude.c13 Год назад

I Tried it and it did change the formula. No foundation lasted when I used the white foundation and I always had horrible makeup days 😅 I used it with Teint Idole mostly which is a formula I love.

Who else thought she was already wearing foundation at the beginning? ✋🏼 #shedoesntneedit

Sarah D me

@susanvelez6534 7 лет назад

Sarah D she have beautiful skin. It is perfect :)

@lisafay1171 7 лет назад

I think that' because she just got a spray tan. makes your skin look more flawless than it acutally is. although she's always had great skin.

@signerondestveit2075 7 лет назад

Sarah D Yeah, I was really surprised when I realised she wasn't.. I actually thought she looked extra supercute without foundation 😘

@bitehungerback7554 7 лет назад

Sarah D she probably had a bit on already and just put more on.

you are seriously the most real, honest beauty vlogger. seriously amazing and so so helpful. you're honestly trying to help people with your tips and tricks. you are not talking just to talk or reviewing products just to create videos. you are professional and i adore you! Thank you for being who you are.

@sandyg.7317 7 лет назад

Thank you Marlena! I've been mixing foundations for decades to get the right shade for my skin tone. I must say that the makeup companies have come a long way in being inclusive of the different ethnicities. Now I mainly need to mix foundations in the summer due to a tan.

@samd7531 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for this video. It was so HELPFUL. I especially liked how you customized the foundation according to undertones. 👍🏾

@valerieguzman2981 7 лет назад

THANK YOU Marlena for your educating videos! I appreciate them more than you can imagine! I have and still struggle with finding the correct tone in foundations, and I think this will help!

@livjunkie 7 лет назад

this is so informative.. thank you marlena ❤️❤️❤️

@deanntitus5879 7 лет назад

i really love the type of information you share. in the youtube world, youtubers let go of the basics often. You give such amazing advice and tutorials and i always recommend your videos to my clients. you go girl!!!

@hazzelV 7 лет назад

I am out of words to explain how happy I am with this video, great job explaining and making it easy for us to understand the art of mixing foundations. I have a foundation that is my shade but wrong undertone (I have a yellow undertone with fair skin) and whenever I use this specific foundation it almost looks dark on me but I know its because its too pink so I thought I would buy yellow drops to customize: wrong!!!! Didn't matter how little of the yellow I applied it was too much, I seriously wasted too much foundation trying to get the shade right.. and here you are Marlene, you finally explained that I don't need the yellow tone I need the kaki shade to mix I my foundation. Thank you so much for your hard work, and please, please keep up with this kid of videos. XOXO Hazzel

@emmTemm 7 лет назад

SO helpful! With so many makeup videos, it's nice to actually still LEARN something new! Thanks Marlena!

@Jewelzie2013 7 лет назад

This video was so helpful! Thank you so much Marlena! I am slowly learning all the neat tricks n tips for makeup and this was definitely one of my favs. Please keep up the great work and thanks for making all these videos for us despite your crazy/busy schedule!

@sirieriksson9010 7 лет назад

These were really great tips, I just can't help but feel like this would have been a really good video to talk about lightening/darkening your foundation for people that are lighter/darker than what is available in store. Like I'm super pale, so I have to use white mixers and I feel like there are a lot women of color that are darker than what is in Sephora.. and idk I just feel like that would have been good info in this, but overall really informative and good!

@Itzmimicakkes 7 лет назад

This is amazing advice! I love that you always share amazing advice with us!

@Christinaanna5 7 лет назад

and ive never been one to spend much on makeup but Ive been collecting MUG shadows like a crazy person ... so im drooling seeing that display in the back. id die!

@ijesimonn 7 лет назад

kim mcdonald me too! It has been in the works for such a long time now. I get it though. I'd rather they take their time and launch a great product than rush a subpar one. It's just that when I saw the video I thought they were finally launching!

@BunnyBomb76 7 лет назад

those mixers are awesome! I always have so much trouble finding olive tone foundation's. and I've recently been mixing two shades with my moisturizer to get the perfect shade and finish, but on the back of my hand...now I feel extra smart since Marlena posted it as a tip. 😃

@dezidoll8233 7 лет назад

Marlena these are my favorite types of videos from you! No one does them like this. So hopeful and informative. More please!!! How to match blush to eye looks and how to match blush to your skin tone, and placement please🙋🏻

@angelicabarragan7121 7 лет назад

Thank you!!! I use only drugstore foundation so it's hard to find the right undertone for me. They always look very pink on me. Now I know how to get my perfect undertone!

@raquel.303 7 лет назад

Geli B try No7 foundations! Only drugstore foundation that doesn't turn orange/pink on me. They oxidize a slight bit about a shade darker but not orange or pink. Stay perfect is my new fave. Looks so natural and stays all day

@angelicabarragan7121 7 лет назад

Raquel 303 thank you. I will have to try it out.

@btwidk5945 5 лет назад

Elf came out with mixers too. I got the yellow one and it is heaven sent! Also your curly hair is so gorgeous, I am envious sister.

Thank you beautiful for the great advice. I am sure you get asked this a lot but will you be producing your own foundation line? You and the lovely Mr Goss understand make-up to the core. And I know I am not alone when I say that I respect and trust your opinions when it comes to brands and make up. Much love and kind hugs:)xxx
