MARILYN MONROE'S MAKE-UP LOOK & HER BEAUTY SECRETS
BEFORE MAKE-UP TRICKS & AFTER
(how to go from "natural Marilyn Monroe to glam icon, Marilyn Monroe)
(that not even Whitey would share some of these tips with Marilyn! ha ha)
SKIN:
Marilyn used Erno Laszlo Active pHelityl Cream (you can still get it here) or vaseline to moisturize (I use Alba Un-Petroleum, much better for your skin than Vaseline!)
FOUNDATION:
Marilyn Monroe wore Elizabeth Arden Pat-A-Creme foundation or foundation from Erno Laszlo, she also used the Erno Laszlo Duo-Phase Face Powder (which you can still buy! CLICK HERE to see!)
MARILYN'S HIGHLIGHTING TRICKS:
She used a highlighting powder (I can't find anywhere what the name was!)..to highlight certain spots on her face that she liked to highlight!
I used SHELL (a cream color) from MAC to highlight, then I went over it with SILVER DUSK highlight powder from MAC. You could even use a frosty eyeshadow to dab on highlight areas I show above!
MARILYN'S LIP TRICK:
She used up to 5 different red lipsticks at once to get her perfect red mouth. All reds were a bright blue-red, because the film cameras back then had a way of making everything orangey.
You can see in the video, but her make-up artist would draw above the top lip curve with a white eyeliner to make it look larger and more highlighted.
Also, she extended her top lip liner out at an angle above her lower lip (take a peek at the pic above!).
*She also fully drew in the curved, rounded bow-shaped mouth on the top. And she used a darker red lipliner to shade the underside of the lower lip and the outer edges to make her lips look even larger and more "sexy-pouty"! (see the picture above of her without make-up, her lips are totally different shaped than after her make-up!)
*They would also dab a white eyeshadow in the center of her lips to make them look fuller and grab the light, as you can see in the photo above!)
MARILYN EYEBROWS:
Marilyn's eyebrows were drawn into very pointed eyebrows, which was because she thought she had a wide forehead, and adding such sharp peaks makes it look like your forehead doesn't take up so much room!
MARILYN'S EYELINER:
*Whitey would draw in a white triangle on the outer corner of her eye with a white eyeliner, and blend it outwards.
*He also lined the waterline of her lower eye with white eyeliner, this was a very popular trick in that era, to make the eyes look bigger and brighter on camera!
*Next they usually used a brown eyeliner (contrary to all the popular Marilyn looks that use black), and drew the liner like I show in the red above, and slightly below the eye-LEAVING the WHITE SPACE on the corner UNTOUCHED. This trick makes the eye look wider, in combination with drawing the top eyeliner out longer.
MARILYN MONROE'S EYELASHES:
They would take a full strip of lashes and cut them in half so that they were just on the outer corners, like a demi-wispie lash. I used URBAN DECAY LASHES in LURE.
