This is 5 years later and to me is still very relevant. I've watched a gazillion tutorials (no joke) on how to apply, but none on how to properly pair them up, which is a big issue for me. This is so helpful and valuable if I could give a million thumbs up, I would. Thank you, Marlena!!!!
Stephanie S. OMG! Lmao, that is literally why I just clicked on this vid!! I watched her “dear influencers” vid and thought she had a nice soft voice so when I saw this vid in my recommenced today I was like “yep!!” and clicked on it haha.
FInally a breakdown of how to choose colors!! I love my UA-cam beauty’s and their tutorials but this right here is what I needed. I want to be independent from just copying my fav UA-cam personalities. Muchas gracias!!! 😘
Nice work, Marlena. I have been trying to experiment with different eye looks lately and these tips definitely help guide me. Also, I love the big poster of how exactly to map out colors.
Between you being so open and honest about your personal journey, and you taking time to make videos like this I'm subscribing. You are truly an encouragement.
Thank you so much for this video! I had a hard time with pairing the proper colors and I have a better understanding now! I'm trying to better my blending techniques & this helped a lot!
I never knew she was THIS tiny...i thought she said she was always heavy...I been watching YT since 2012 but didn’t know who she was until the end of makeup geeks popularity.
@@AFFTFOMSICHTS no, Im pretty sure she's said her weight has always been up and down, or maybe she said "struggled" with her weight. I could be wrong though. I've watched her for *many* years, but probably a year or so after this video. I actually like her lips better like this... beautiful smile. But I also like her with a little "meat" on her bones. She's truly a beautiful person and beautiful soul.
Classics stand the test of time. I watched this 4 years ago and I still recommend this (and you) to everyone I know. It’s 2019 and this information still stands. Thank you for always being true to what “beauty” really means.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love this video and how you explain monochromatic and polychromatic. I've never understood what those meant and now I do!! Also very helpful on how to pair stuff together. I don't know how many times I've looked at a palette and didn't know what to put together. Thank you!!
THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY NUMBER 1 QUESTION WHEN USING A MULTIPLE COLOR PALLET. I ALWAYS JUST BUY THE 4 COLOR COMBO PACKS. HAVENT EVEN WATCHED THE VIDEO AND HAVE ALREADY SUBSCRIBED. LOL
This was really great Marlena! I love your eyeshadows so much and definitely want to buy more. I just went travelling and the only eyeshadows I brang with me were your ones in a Z-pallete! I love them and can't wait for you to make more.
We miss this Marlina. Not what youtube has done to her. Shes had to become defensive and just jaded I guess. I still watch and enjoy these informative and instructional videos of hers ❤❤❤ I suppose I will always support her in my own way
Marlena, you beat me to asking for help with all the new shadows I got for Christmas. I hope this New Year brings you happiness, success, and someone special to share it with. You deserve it! Take care of you!
I love this lady so much. You do so much work and it pays off. Thanks for making a makeup company so amazing! I love you. You inspire everyone around you!
I love how versatile you are!! It's been hard for me to watch videos from those far from my complexion and even still, i end up confused. But you've been very inclusive/considerate of other skin colors and I have really enjoyed watching. Plus, you actually know what to do so I've struck gold coming across your channel lol!!!
thank you for your in-depth information. we take what applies to us and move on. i'm sure it takes time to compile this info, set up and provide visuals for us. I truly appreciate this free service that you provide to YT viewers at the cost of your time, effort and energy! Thanks Marlena! Love your vids and tuts!
I really enjoy watching your tutorials! It's so helpful for a new beginner! I am just now getting into learning how to do my makeup! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for making this video, I have always wondered who people chose the colors they picked for the beautiful looks I want to try! I can proceed with confidence now!
I love that you actually have these types of quick lessons. You've been a makeup professional that I watch regularly, and have inspired me to look into going to makeup academy!
Marlena. I REQUESTED this vid when you posted the Eye Shapes Vid. NEVER have I requested a vid and it was actually made. You are truly the best. Thank you thank you!! U dont know how big this is!!
Thank you for using the word "monochromatic" in the correct context. It annoys me when illiterate people use the word "monochrome" to refer to a black & white combination - "mono" = one, "chrome" = colour. Black & white aren't even colours, never mind the fact that there's 2 of them in a combo.
lol so let me ask, why did you choose to use the term when it really didn't add to the information in the least? Also, if you are going to attempt to feign ignorance about what you were trying to infer, do you know the meaning of the term illiterate? I only posted because I get tired of reading other people putting people down. You're obviously a smart person and you can portray that without being nasty.
I disagree with you. You can't put any colors together! When it comes to polychromatic looks one must look at a color wheel. Colors that are opposite will accentuate each other (like green-red / blue-orange) but will make it impossible to pair on the lids. You cannot blend eyeshadows that are oposite together. Try it and you'll see that it will create an ungly brown color. You can create a cut crease or use them on upper or lower lids but never without differentiating them. To mix colors the best way is to look at the color wheel and look up the colors your main color comes from. For a harmonious look for ex with a blue- green ( turquoise) you have to use green- yellow combo or a blue purple combo. This way blending will be a piece of cake. Also you can use neutrals to help blend towards your brow bone when using strong colors. Any color that has no similarity with skin (green and blue especially), will need a color that has a similar pigment as the skin to blend out.
Open up just about any beauty or fashion magazine to see examples of well-paired and well-executed eye looks using complimentary or split complimentary colors. Such pairings can be tricky, but they do work and can be used to create the boldest, most artful looks.
Celeste - omg she was so skinny!!! I’m not being mean. I’m bigger than I’ve ever been. I know the struggle. I’m just making an observation. She’s pretty no matter what. I love her makeup too.
I don't like how she says you can't have all matte or all shimmer there are tones of ways all matte eyeshadow looks can be amazing and same thing with all shimmery just the way this girl has so many "rules" of makeup pisses me off makeup is a free art you can do whatever you want.
This is from only 6 yeas ago? That's a very short time to change so much & become unrecognizable. And I don't mean the weight, it's too much surgery & fillers. Sad that she felt the need for it.
This is great, I'm new to putting makeup on others and I get overwhelmed by all the colours n palettes I have and always have to refer back to tutorials, so this really helps me identify what I can use together. Thanks Marlena..a majority of my kit is all mug...just waiting on my complete foil palette to arrive now :)
Marlena I am obsessed with you're makeup geek eyeshadows you have done an outstanding job with them I am such a proud subbie. I wish you the very best with you're brand:)
This popped up right on time! I'm going to be playing with eyeshadow and I've always wondered how people did their pairings. This has demystified the process and I feel confident enough to one day give it a go. Thank you☺
A little off topic but, I just needed to say this. I just ordered 3 of your gel liners &, while pleased with the product, I was even more pleased with the very sweet handwritten note included in my box. It was such a very sweet, very nice touch & made me feel a little more connected. I love it! Thanks for always being amazing, Marlena!
This is 5 years later and to me is still very relevant. I've watched a gazillion tutorials (no joke) on how to apply, but none on how to properly pair them up, which is a big issue for me. This is so helpful and valuable if I could give a million thumbs up, I would. Thank you, Marlena!!!!
Right! Omg this is soooo helpful!!!

🙋
Olga Iuliana haha yes!! Her voice is so soothing! LOL
Meeeee🙋🏽♀️
Stephanie S. OMG! Lmao, that is literally why I just clicked on this vid!! I watched her “dear influencers” vid and thought she had a nice soft voice so when I saw this vid in my recommenced today I was like “yep!!” and clicked on it haha.

I always do shimmers and rarely matte. I'm so going to dig into my matte shadows from now on. Thanks so much! Disco ball is over! :)
FInally a breakdown of how to choose colors!! I love my UA-cam beauty’s and their tutorials but this right here is what I needed. I want to be independent from just copying my fav UA-cam personalities. Muchas gracias!!! 😘
Amen! I never understood how UA-camrs picked their colors. I get it now.
I know so true I felt the same and was frustrated lol!
Yessss! Lol
I really like this presentation the only thing missing was the actual makeup example on a real eye .from the board to the eye 👀👍

Try looking at a color wheel. That might help you decide what colors look nice together if you’re stuck
Hold on... This was Marlena Stell??? I can't even tell that it's her.
Right ??
I mean she’s gorgeous now but then she was just HOT !
i thought maybe it was her sister especially with the voice. i love you MS
Yeah she gained weight. And fillers. But at the right time. She’s now in her 40s and looks 30 if even A bit of weight can add a youthful look
I never knew she was THIS tiny...i thought she said she was always heavy...I been watching YT since 2012 but didn’t know who she was until the end of makeup geeks popularity.
@@AFFTFOMSICHTS no, Im pretty sure she's said her weight has always been up and down, or maybe she said "struggled" with her weight. I could be wrong though.

Wow, Marlena you are gorgeous in this video! Your bone structure and jaw line are stunning!!
Classics stand the test of time. I watched this 4 years ago and I still recommend this (and you) to everyone I know. It’s 2019 and this information still stands. Thank you for always being true to what “beauty” really means.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love the names given to your eyeshadows. They seem to fit well plus the colors themselves are gorgeous.
This is classic Marlena, useful and helpful videos. I learned how to apply makeup as an adult because of your videos Marlena!
Love this video and how you explain monochromatic and polychromatic. I've never understood what those meant and now I do!! Also very helpful on how to pair stuff together. I don't know how many times I've looked at a palette and didn't know what to put together. Thank you!!
Peacock is such a gorgeous color! I can't wait to see what you come up with using that palette!
Thank you so much for what you do Marlena (and team!). This was very helpful as was the last one. Love the large eye charts.
Such a great video! Showed up in my reccomendations today and I learned a lot! Love to you Marlena 😘
Timeless advice, watching in July 2019!

But you've been very inclusive/considerate of other skin colors and I have really enjoyed watching. Plus, you actually know what to do so I've struck gold coming across your channel lol!!!
I loved the look of your eyeshadow...seems effortless and great for daytime
"No one wants to look all shimmery from head to toe"
Umm, I might be on the wrong tutorial 😂💕
Da fcuk! I'm finding this now! I could have used this so bad.
thank you for your in-depth information. we take what applies to us and move on. i'm sure it takes time to compile this info, set up and provide visuals for us. I truly appreciate this free service that you provide to YT viewers at the cost of your time, effort and energy! Thanks Marlena! Love your vids and tuts!

Ok amazing video for sure. Going in my favorites right now! Thanks Marlena!!
Very helpful video! Thanks a lot for taking time out of your day to film and edit this Marlena!
i have this strong desire to spend like a hundred dollars on eye shadow and those little z pallets. Must resist ,
eerye70 same here lol
Saaaame!
You can get cheaper magnetic palettes that are just as good.
eerye70 me tooooooo. omg I just bought foundation and some stuff and dam I'm holding that last dollar to buy some "must" needed eyeshadows
hi new subby...ive been needing to know this so bad......omg thank you
I really enjoy watching your tutorials! It's so helpful for a new beginner! I am just now getting into learning how to do my makeup! Thank you so much!
This video was SO SO helpful! Thank you so much!! Love videos like these, keep up the good work!
there aren't only matte and shimmer eye shadows, theres also pearlescent, glittery, satin
Arielle Chraim I think she used shimmer as an umbrella term, eg a matte and non-mattes
Kinda Still Confused , Wish u would have pointed out which color goes where out of the quads
There's another video she did where she tells you that I think goes before this one
Very informative, Marlena! Thank you for the close ups, and for all your hard work! I always look forward to your videos!
Amy
Thank you so much for making this video, I have always wondered who people chose the colors they picked for the beautiful looks I want to try! I can proceed with confidence now!
2019. Wow i love her. Liked her lips here
can u reply the comments? damn
I love that you actually have these types of quick lessons. You've been a makeup professional that I watch regularly, and have inspired me to look into going to makeup academy!
Marlena. I REQUESTED this vid when you posted the Eye Shapes Vid. NEVER have I requested a vid and it was actually made. You are truly the best. Thank you thank you!! U dont know how big this is!!
Marlena looked stunning back then and like a totally different person.

Joanne Carroll you don't have to refer to people as illiterate to make yourself seem intelligent
I never claimed to be more intelligent than anyone - just capable of reading. Guess you just proved my point.
lol so let me ask, why did you choose to use the term when it really didn't add to the information in the least? Also, if you are going to attempt to feign ignorance about what you were trying to infer, do you know the meaning of the term illiterate?
I only posted because I get tired of reading other people putting people down. You're obviously a smart person and you can portray that without being nasty.
Tori Dixon , Nicely said classy lady! 👍
I love this channel! I love makeup, and this has definitely helped me get better and my application.
I like the boards you've been using in your videos! great idea

I am not saying you can't use them at all. I am saying you have to use other colors between or divide them clearly to have that impact.

Anita Kovacs 👎👎👎👎👎
I don't get it 😟
omg she was alot thinner!
Celeste - omg she was so skinny!!! I’m not being mean. I’m bigger than I’ve ever been. I know the struggle. I’m just making an observation. She’s pretty no matter what. I love her makeup too.
That’s her when she gastric bypass surgery. She gone back to her bigger size now.
Great video, I love how you explain things so thoroughly
What wonderful information! I so needed this-thank you!
I don't like how she says you can't have all matte or all shimmer there are tones of ways all matte eyeshadow looks can be amazing and same thing with all shimmery just the way this girl has so many "rules" of makeup pisses me off makeup is a free art you can do whatever you want.
