I absolutely LOVE when you do these teaching videos. At 47 my skin is sooo much dryer than it used to be. But because of texture & acne scars I hate how dewy foundations look. I was still using my matt foundations. Now I know to use a Satin. WHO KNEW !!! Thanks for clueing me in.

You have a beautiful personality !! Your family and friends are truly blessed to have you in their lives.

I LOVE the tip of spraying the buffing brush before applying! Thank you! I'm also obsessed with Power Fabric ❤️

helpful back to basics video, thks Marlena! You always mention the different skin types and colours which is great for all your faithful but please dont forget your older subbies too. I'm 60 and love to wear makeup but some foundations just don't suit us MMUGs =Mature Make Up Geeks hehe 😄😁 xx

Your videos always just make me happy... You could do a video about how you shop for socks and I'd watch it... Something about your voice soothes me and that little giggle you do is infectious. I love it! I've been dealing with some really tough health issues lately and it is getting borderline depressing although I'm trying hard to stay positive. Sitting down watching your videos and getting lost in your voice has been so very therapeutic to me. Thanks Marlena. I hope you know how amazing you truly are!

I cannot tell you how eye opening this video is!!! I put primers in specific locations, but I never thought to build up using finishes best for that area or look. Fantastic! 💯💯💯

Sheesh! Marlena is one of those people who just doesn't need any makeup (she may beg to differ) but she goes from beautiful to super beautiful!

[amiel]

These are the videos I adore. You are a teacher at heart, and you shine when you teach!

[sharonkrinsky-mchale]

I love watching your videos and I love all the Make Geek products. Marlena, you are gorgeous and have the warmest personality. Please do some videos on makeup for the over 50 crowd.

Your the reason my makeup obsession started in my high school days 😭 !!i would watch you all day!! So much respect for you and congrats on all your success!!! ❤️

[kareslourdes]

Yay!!! You mentioned Estee Lauder double wear! My HG! I have tried most and I always go back to that one.
KatVon D, creases and it will transfer no matter how you set it.

Keep on posting, girl! We need your positivity! Love u!

With all the tutorials on YouTube, this has been the MOST informative. I now know my skin type foundation. Thank you!

[martahernandez]

I'm learning so much from you Marlena. I have gone back and watched some older videos with eye shadow instructions with colors. Much appreciated! XO

[momnmebeauty]

I have combo/oily skin, and my favorite foundation is CoverGirl Outlast. It keeps the oily areas under control, but doesn't make my normal areas look cakey. Thanks for explaining the different finishes!

[mysweettlife]

I have really dry skin. Would LOVE more recommendations for my skin type.

[denisegannon]

Thanks Marlena!!! I ALWAYS learn something new from you!! Years ago I asked about a foundation for oily skin, and you messaged me back and said Estée Lauder Double Wear... well, obviously, it's been my holy grail ever since. I did discover and try their new water base foundation, which us AMAZING also.
Love you and will always support you.
By the way... I probably buy Whimsical, every 3 months. My absolute favorite shadow for sure.💕💕💕😘

Loved this video! I seen on your snapchat that you're making working out and health a priority. I would love to see a sit down chat about quick go to meals, your workout routine and what keeps you motivated! Love ya girl, stay strong❤️

[gamaw]

Marlena, your videos are always so informative and you are a doll. I know you and other utubers gear your channel to younger folks but although I am a senior, I love makeup. Would it be possible to do a video for best foundations for textured, wrinkled, saggy skin? Any foundation looks great on young, smooth, taut skin! But for those of us who are aging, finding "the right" foundation can be a real challenge. Any help you can give us would be much appreciated! We love you and your channel. Have a blessed day!

I recently bought Lancome's Teint Idole liquid foundation. I'm obsessed with it!
