Vanya is so cute. You can tell she's loving getting her makeup done by Mary!

I could watch her push concealer under the eyes all day!  Darn that woman!  What is this fascination I have with Mary Greenwell?!?!  She slaps on makeup haphazardly and smooshes it all over the face then stands back Perfection.

Mary makes it all look so effortless. Her technique is so fluid and organic - I think the word is 'intuitive'. She's also a natural teacher. A joy to watch.

[NicolaFabw]

I never tire of watching Mary and her magic hands.

Omg i just love Mary so much and i love how she interacts with the camera as if it is a real audience and she is so relaxed she is just beautiful and i love how you included where the eye shadow got rubbed off and had to be fixed to show the real reality of make up artists!!
Also that model was fantastic so beautiful and she smiled throughout the whole video!

Whoa! The final result is more than fabulous! I could watch Mary Greenwell talk and do make up forever. ♥

[Waldorfdarling]

I love how you can see the skin through the foundation, it makes the look so much fresher!

[NRowanMC]

[StaceyAW]

YESSSS!! More videos with Mary Greenwell well please! :) it would be virtually impossible for a one on one lesson taught by such a legendary MUA... Which is one the many reasons why I love YouTube! xx

so beautiful! love the warmth in the cheeks. I'm always SO excited to see these videos pop up in my subscription box!

[catyful]

Amazing look, but please don´t cut the parts when she´s doing the eyeliner, specially on the lower lashes...because it´s important to see that!

[amylovis]

Absolutly LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Mary!! It's just such a pleasure to watch her in action and the makeup is always flawless. I could watch her videos all day

[FlowerPower]

Mary is excellent as a teacher, the model is adorable and the end result is stunning. My only wish would be to see her working on slightly more mature (age wise) women, you see, this young lady has a flawless skin to begin with, which is not the case for most of us. As well as more affordable beauty products. Thank you very much :) :) :)
