Marilyn Monroe - Iconic Make-up Look

Watch this video on my site http://www.lisae.me.uk/21757 for product links, tips and more info.

Although it's very difficult to get all the exact details as her make-up artist never betrayed her secrets, it's fun to talk about the tricks and details of Marilyn's make-up. Marilyn had lots of different looks and was pretty natural most of the time (especially in her everyday life) but this video concentrates on the very glamorous look she had for her movie poster shoots from 1953 through to the end of the 50s. Lots of the tricks were geared towards the lighting, film and camera lenses of the time. I'm creating an 'illustrative' version inspired by her most glamourous and made up look. Its just a bit of fun, hope you enjoy it! x

Hi Lisa! Her "Look" is so unique, so beautiful. What a fortunate pairing of talents, Marilyn and Whitey. When I see close-ups of her eyes, it looks like she swept her mascara on in a downward motion toward the outer corners of her eyes, to give her that sleepy dreamer look. Sort of-up at the inner corners and then downward at the outer corners. Has anyone else noticed this? I don't see it replicated on any of her make-up documentaries.
