  • What do you think is better? Learning online or in person? I'm thinking about going to L.a for a 2 months to learn makeup. But if learning online is just the same I might do that. PLEASE answer. :)

  • Where is part 2???? Pleeeease we need you.

  • I like very much this video can you make part 2 pleassse!!!

  • If you are a makeup artist, do you make good money? Or does it vary? Thanks so much! :)

  • So helpful! Thank you!

  • where's part two? :(

  • So do you have to go to college to be a makeup artist?

  • @MrsDanceCat nope

  • @MrsDanceCat No. There are plenty of makeup artists who didn't go to college in order to be a makeup artist. Though, you can learn a lot from going to a makeup school or even just a cosmetology school.

  • THANKK YOUUU :D

  • what could you do for people with wide-eye set that wants a smokey eye or something with dark shades on the outer eye corners. TIA!

  • I'd love to see a part 2 to this. I hope I didn't miss it in your video archive, but I don't think I came across a continuation of this series. So looking forward to more info on this! I loved the tips and advice you gave in this one. Definitely helpful. You should include a section on this at your website, too. :)

  • I have the same question as another viewer...is there any kind of licence required to do makeup? I can't go to cosmo school but I am going to take some classes on color theory and art and anything else that will help me in this field.

  • hi guys! I have been addicted to doing people's make since I was 9! I am only 12 now but i would love to practice on people. if you live near temperance Michigan, inbox me for further info. thank you so much!

  • thnak you so much for the advice!!!

  • wheres part 2????

  • She looks like lady gaga! 

  • Wher can I find the parts to this video?

  • my dream is to become a makeup artist i cant though i am way too old and i cant even afford to buy the makeup to do it on other people :(

  • Thank u for the tip, my question is do u need a license to do makeup?

  • Omg is that lady gaga at the beginning? I cant believ you worked with her

  • @kparm23 lmao, it's not gaga

  • U'RE SOOOOOOOOOOO AWESUMM<3

  • OMG Lady Gaga at #0:07

  • I've been dreaming of becoming a make up artist since I was very little. It's so much fun to play around with and it IS an art form. Not a lot of people appreciate it for what it truly is. One day, I hope to meet you and get the chance to talk with you about anything and everything concerning makeup and the beauty industry. It also made me start wondering while I was watching this video if you've ever taken someone as your apprentice before. I admire your work and have been practicing! Thank you

  • Im 13 and i wanna be a make up artist

  • You remind me sooo much of the arch enemy's daughter on Dexter!

  • I want to be a makeup artist so bad! Im 16 now and I feel that I fail in everything but makeup.. Im doing it!

  • Comment removed

  • ***Very informative***

  • Lol I just started to get into makeup when i got a professional makeover. It was amazing what they done and how they used all their different brushes, makeup etc. You're right, it is an art. Its amazing actually :)

  • hi there, thankyou for the advice, it was really handy to get different opinions etc. i do wonder however, why you think it is a bad idea to use network sites? my sister is a hairdresser and has increased her mobile work through her own group dedicated to this and i have seen other companies use facebook to promote their companies/products etc. it seems without facebook, they wouldnt be doing so well!

  • @aleciaforrest me too :)

    I'm 15 though and am doing a thing called VCAL through school it's where you don't do Normal year 10 you have 3 days of school instead of 5 one day at tafe which I'm doing a makeup course and then a day of work experience related with your course and they will help you get into it all so I guess I'm lucky to do that but you should try do a course cause they help you get into the career Aswell :)

  • I'm only 14 but I really want to be a makeup artist and where would you say that you should buy good makeup??

  • HEY

  • you look and sound kinda like Vanessa Hudgens:)) btws thanks soo much for this video because I would loooove to be a makeup artist but Im only 12 and people don't seem to take this dream seriously, they think its just cus im young and only interested in fakery, glitter nd stuff but naw!! SO thanks sooo much i now know that it is now possible!! Xxxxxxx

  • thank you so much this help very much

  • I'd love the videos you hinted at about packing for different jobs- Have they already been posted and I've somehow missed them or...? Thanks Doll! :)

  • For your business cards, vista print is okay. however - KSPrint.net has better quality, their cards are thicker and prices are great along with their online templates. You should really go check them out for your next business card order and they do so much more you won't regret your purchase with that company - I know I haven't. I Love your video's and I hope you have a great night!

  • Where's part 2?

  • Can you give Idea about how does a business card look. Is there a way you can show your business card.

  • hi, i am really young but i love playing in my moms make up. she just recintly gave me a big box of make up. i want to be a make up artist one day. do you have any advice for me.

  • omg i love this video :)

  • It'd be really hard for me to find different skin tones to practice on since the community i live in is mainly ppl with light skin.

  • the lady that was in the beginning looked like lady gaga. (:

  • So.... where's part 2? :)

  • Hey im nouha and i love makeup ,fashion and all that kinda off domine .What i want to be when i grow up is a a mkeup artist becaus i have the talent and iv ben doing makeup on everyone and i post recent picture of my new makeup ...So i seriously want this job i have 1 question though do i have to finish like unversity to get there ?

  • @SuperMakeupdoll having a degree would usually help

  • im 13 and i do makeup on everyone but i dont hav as much money hehe but this is going to help me when im a little older :) ive been doing makeup on friends since yr 3 so i believe that this is my path :)

  • I want to become a makeup artist and have a few questions.. 1st) was it hard building yourself up from the bottom? did people put you down? 2nd)Does being a makeup artist pay alot? Does doing makeup tire you? or motivate you? 3rd) Do you have to go to school to get a license? Do you recommend going to school? 4th)Do you work for a particular company or are you like on your own? Is it fun? do you enjoy it?.. If you can answer these questions, that'd be great... I really would like to know>.<

  • At a mere 13 years of age, My makeup skills extend to my sisters and friends, though, I do aspire for this. My biggest inspirations are Bobbi Brown and Allure editor Linda Wells. Reading their books has given me a wide variety of tips and tricks and the more I learn, the more I believe I'm cut out for this.

  • the lady in the begging looks like gaga :)

  • I have those curtains! <3

    

  • Hi Thanks for the tips on how to becoma a makeup artist, i want to be a makeup artist but cannot afford the make up classes here in the UK the least have seen here is £1000 which is not much but i have alot going out at the moment so i cannot afford it. This has helped me alot bcos i have been trying to figure out how to practice on others with diffirent skin tones. at the moment i am having problems with foundation application icant get it right any ideas for me thanks

  • I would love to see a video on how to do makeup on ladies over 40 and 50. Can you do a tutorial including mentioning key points placement of eye color no shimmer etc or what you recommend? Thank you for all your videos! Big fan and you inspire!

  • Thanks for the video. Have a great day!

  • TUMBLR

  • then what looks good in print ?

  • @yuukiasame she means what it looks like as a picture.

  • Great Video.

  • how do you suggested becoming an artist in a feild other than beauty? such as creating gore or even monsters for tv / movies?

  • do you have to be certified to be a makeup artist?

  • i was wondering if you charged for when you were first starting out as a make up artist. practice is important but its really expensive to buy all the products.what s a reasonable pricing?i took a course but it was not as in depth as i was hoping for, they basically said its an art so just like you said practice. I was wondering how many sets of brushes you bought when you first started.

  • when are you going to do the second part?

  • do u have to take school for being a makeup artist?

  • you look gorgeous :)

  • you should be partner!

  • I love your make up , you look very pretty !!!

  • @dianecharno632

    Sounds good lol you can add me on msn my user id = AlexMary810 :d

    BTW I agree 100% makeup can be sooo expensive. did you know MAC is giving out a ton of free gift cards?

  • @cheekygugi If you have friends or family ask them if you can do their makeup.

  • Hi Marlena,

    I have been discussing with my family on what I want to do when I get older. I want to become a makeup artist, but my parents don't agree that it's a stable job or even a career. It would really help if you tell me what your opinion is.

    Thank you! -Sherene -3

  • @ruthsa77 how ironic, you dont have a single uploaded video!

    by the way, you obviously dont know what great makeup looks like, i would love Marlena to do my makeup everyday, & even my wedding day makeup, please upload a video of you doing your makeup and come back and tell us what you think... <3

  • Hi Marlena, I was wondering if I can be in my own pictures for my portfolio....is that ok, or am I only supposed to use models?

  • Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Can you recommend where to get the best bargain/deal for a range of concealer/foundation/powder to work on different skin tones/types/age for those that are just starting out practicing and don't have a lot to invest? Online would be best for me since I live on Maui and shops and stores are very limited. Thank you so very much!

  • @giselegullatte you should try Costal Scents, Cherry Culture, ELF online, they are great and amazing to order online for awsome products and deals!!!!!! they are the best websites i have found. Best of luck :>)

  • when are you gonna do part 2!!!!

  • Hey Gorgeous,

    I'm curious...why do you believe that FB is not good to publish some of your portfolio pics? Even if you have a business page...? I've noticed alot of photograhers, stylists, and makeup artists are now doing it.

  • Hey Gorgeous,

    I'm curious...why do you believe that FB is not good to publish some of your portfolio pics? Even if you have a business page...?

  • GREAT iNFORMATiVE ViDEO=D!!!

  • I know this might sound like a dumb question...but do you have to go to some school or academy to be a makeup artist?

    

  • when are you gonna do part two!??

  • @escapinghawthorne

    Sorry but thats soo lame to point out!!!

  • i loove yur videos

  • I really love your work!!

  • love your videos and work,but.."makeup is an art"...LOL

  • To be a pro MUA you need 2 portfolios : online and paper one. Agencies will always ask a paper portofolio.

  • Thanks for the tips!

  • so whats the best price to do makeup on some1 just an opinion

  • awesome helpful hints, thank you!, any of you tested Max factors newest product line? it is difficult to obtain decent makeup in Belen but i managed to get wonderful samples of makeup by using 'Gratis Makeup Samples'! theyre ace.

  • wow you would be a great teacher! you should start offering classes : ) thank you so much all of your videos are amazing and very helpful. i have a question, i have an interview at nordstrom for the makeup dept i was wondering how i should do my makeup, should i keep it simple and clean or get creative and use color? hopefully you can get back to me soon. thanx, nichelle

  • @nikbunny84 keep it simple, neutral colors, but well done! Nordstrom is somewhat conservative

  • @MakeItAmanda thanx for the tip : )

  • Great information and tips! Thank you! :)

  • I have been looking for courses in houston and cant find any

    Do you know a website where I will be able to find an academy just

    for makeup or courses?

  • idk but do you think that even if i didn't live in like L.A or New York that i could still become a sucessful make-up artist?? and i'm ecstatic for part 2! :)

  • hiya...just a question ....a lot of adverts and portfolios of work done by some makeup artrists all seem to have been airbrushed digitally..is tht the norm and should you always do this?..a bit confused :s

  • @outinapout thanks for the info :)

  • i lovee that you thought to make a video like this

  • can u do a video of make up artists starter kit too? like what should a freelance makeup artist have and brands that aren't too expensive but still good quality and professional. your videos are always so helpful :)

  • @siamesesunshine i was just coming on here to ask the same thing! lol i went to the makeup geek store and a bunch of other online places and its sooo overwhelming when youre just getting started. i was going to suggest she do like a professional makeup starter kit thats super basic and then maybe a bigger more expensive size. itd be neat if she could sell them but even just listing them would be great.

  • You have such a captivating and bubbly personality! Thanks so much for posting your tutorials, they're so helpful, and you're so wonderful at what you do! :)

  • can you please do a makeup tutorial on the look you are wearing in this video, its amazing and makes you look very cutee! :)

  • You look beautiful in this video :)

  • thx for this vid!!!!!!! 

  • dude in the beginging the women LOOKS LIKE LADY GAGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • that is the most flattering makeup i've seen on you, flippin' gorgeous! =)

  • I love your makeup :)

  • This was a very helpful and insightful video, it was put together well and i enjoyed it, thanks.

  • You actually are relatively cute, many thanks for your tutorial. it is actually pathetic i live within Citrus Hills considering that i aren't able to obtain decent cosmetics, however i get no fee cosmetics samples from "GratisMakeupSamples". i absolutely adore MAC cosmetics!

  • The girl at the intro/first looks like Lady Gaga! Has the nose of Gaga! :D

  • How much money do you make per person? Or per year, not trying to be rude. I'm interested in going into the Makeup Field. I've had a hard time finding someone to answer this. I know I have talent and it needs to be used. I'm only 17, and have one year of high school left. I need to start preparing myself. You're beautiful as always love! ♥

  • how do you do your hair? is naturally straight or curly? it's always so shiny and beautiful :)

  • i'm a bit younger so i cant really get a carrier right now, but this sounds super fun. do you have any ideas on what i could do to make it kind of like a practice, hobby type thing for the time being? i love your videos and your super inspiring. i could sit for hours and just watch your videos. but anyway thanks so much!

  • What do you use more for weddings, airbrush foundation or liquid/cream foundations? I have the option of buying an airbrush set or cream set and don't know which would benefit me more.

  • @iamjess03 my aunt does wedding makeup and uses airbrush.

  • How much do up and coming make up artists charge?

  • Cute shirt, girlie!

  • you look like ashley greene in a way.

  • Oh my gosh youve gotten so thin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i love your makeup you're so pretty!!!

  • Heyy thanks girl. =) This has help alot. Im olny 19 & I love to to hair,make-up & nails. I would love to get a job doing all of these this + skin-care. =) Thanks so much. =)

  • could you list the makeup you are wearing?

  • thanks a bunch for this Marlena ... this really helps!!!

  • my skills are awful - I can't do a thing with this face of mine!!
