As a business owner myself, I loved watching this! It costs a lot of money to run any business ethically. I enjoyed hearing your unique insider’s perspective on the makeup industry.

I love it Marlena! Could you please do the same talk about different lipstick formulas? I'm quite curious to learn how the cost of lipstick is build up.

Charlotte paid all that for a fancy cap, meanwhile every time I open that bottle I get chunks of red paint stuck to my hands. So annoying for an expensive product.

As a makeup/skincare packaging designer, this video is on point and it brings me so much validation to have you speak on everything that goes into a product, especially the packaging. Your content has truly become one of a makeup geek and I love it.

This so feels like old school Makeup Geek. When my twins were 4 years old (now 17) and I would relax after putting them to bed to enjoy Marlena’s videos. ❤

I'm from Brazil and those name brands here cost sometimes the a whole month of food for 2 people. Sometimes we get carried away by influencers and wanting a certain brand just for looks or name alone. I feel like learning these informations really brings a light to what exactly I'm buying whether it's imported or not. But specially for when I'm looking to splurge a little bit

Can you please do a video like this about skin care? That would be amazing! Love you girl ❤️

I’ve asked for this type of authentic content to be shared for years. (Not to disown the brand(s) but rather, out of curiosity or to be aware and gain the knowledge. Honestly, what’s wrong with brand authenticity? It goes a long way with brand loyalty! JS). Thank you for listening to us! We love you! ❤😊

Because of serious chronic health issues, I had to retire very early. I decided three years ago that I was going to stop buying high end makeup and skincare products. I took a year and watched lots of YouTube videos, buying products that I thought would work for my skin, with my goal being finding affordable products to replace the high end ones. I can honestly say that at this point, I love my makeup collection, and everything is affordable!!! One thing that I love doing is mixing complexion products, like a tinted moisturizer with a more high coverage foundation to get that perfect coverage for my taste.
Your content has been SO AMAZING, Marlena!!!

Now that Natasha Denona has done numerous midi palettes, I think she needs to sell the shades as singles so that we can replace panned shades or trade out shades we don't use for shades we would use. Why else did she give us the little holes in the back of the palettes to pop out shadows? Not just to move around the existing shadows.
