If you’re looking to perfect makeup your full glam routine, you’ve come to the right place. Marina Makeup’s step-by-step tutorial is packed with pro tips and techniques to help you elevate your artistry. From creating a smooth, long-lasting base to achieving sultry, blended eyes and a flawless finish, this guide covers it all. Whether you’re perfecting your look for a night out in Toronto or attending a special event in Mississauga, these tips will have you looking and feeling your best.
Here’s everything you need to know to recreate Marina’s signature purple glam look.
Step 1: The Perfect Oil-Controlled Canvas
Every great makeup look starts with a solid base. For a sweat-proof and shine-free finish, Marina begins by applying an oil-controlling primer to key areas—her T-zone, cheeks, and along the hairline. This targeted approach ensures the makeup stays fresh and intact, even under the city’s bright lights or during a long day of celebrations.
Take this as your foundation for success—when your base is secure, everything stays in place.
Pro tip: Choose primers with sweat-proof qualities if you’re attending high-energy events. Long-lasting makeup is a must for nights out in the city!
Step 2: Brows That Steal the Show
Brows are the unsung heroes of any makeup look. Marina carefully shapes and defines her brows using the Makeup by Mario brow pencil in Classic Brunette. For extra hold and a polished finish, she adds a layer of Anastasia Beverly Hills brow gel. By applying the golden ratio technique, she crafts brows that not only flatter her face but work with anyone’s unique bone structure.
A well-shaped brow isn’t just a detail—it’s the frame for your masterpiece.
Step 3: Tightlining—A Pro Trick for Defined Eyes
Tightlining can instantly make your eyes look more bold and defined. Marina uses the Makeup by Mario black eyeliner to line her top lash line and bottom waterline. She admits this step takes patience, but the payoff is well worth it. To prep her lids, she swears by the Makeup Forever concealer, which doubles as an eyeshadow primer. This ensures her eye makeup stays crease-free, even throughout an extended evening event.
Mastering tightlining may seem tricky at first, but the results are pure drama and elegance.
Step 4: A Blend Worth the Time
For the star feature of her glam look—smoky, sultry eyes—Marina chooses shades from two iconic palettes. She starts with Supreme Mauves by Artist Couture, packing a deep color onto the outer V. Then, she softens the edges and blends seamlessly with hues from the Jeffree Star Bloodlust palette. Her technique? Build your colors from dark to light, then reverse the process for smooth, gradient perfection.
Blending takes time, but as Marina demonstrates, patience leads to a professional finish.
Marina’s Pro Tip: Blending is everything. Take your time to ensure smooth transitions between shades. Pigmented shadows can be tricky, but the payoff is worth it!
Step 5: Creating Depth with a Pop of Sparkle
To add dimension and a touch of drama, Marina finishes her eye look by applying a sparkly, diamond-like shade to the center of her lid. For balance, she brushes deeper tones along her lower lash line, blending them carefully to keep the focus on the eyes. It’s a soft yet striking detail that pulls the look together beautifully.
Step 6: A Complexion to Rival the Red Carpet
Marina’s foundation technique is nothing short of genius. She blends Makeup Forever cream foundation with a fresh oil serum in a 50/50 mix. The result? Flawless coverage with the lightweight feel of a liquid foundation. To add depth to her face, she strategically applies concealer using a fan brush, which minimizes cakiness while building coverage. Cream bronzer adds warmth to her complexion, bringing her features to life.
It’s this balance of coverage and glow that makes her look both polished and natural.

Step 7: Adding a Rosy Flush
Blush is one of the final steps in Marina’s process, giving her skin a healthy, dimensional flush. She layers cream and powder blush for a long-lasting, natural finish. For a sculpted touch, she uses a tiny brush to apply blush and highlight key areas, including her nose, creating an airbrushed effect.
This layered technique leaves you with a radiant glow that’s suited to any occasion.
Step 8: The Finishing Touch—Lashes
No glam look is truly complete without fluttery lashes! Marina shares her personal trick for flawless false lash application—hold the mirror below your nose for the perfect angle. By doing this, she ensures her lashes sit comfortably and look seamless. This small step is the key to elevating your look from pretty to unforgettable.
