 Here
is a guide for Marilyn's trademark red-lipped looks; using the items or ones close to
those she
actually used herself.
First get Marilyn's glowing skin by applying some
foundation. Make sure to cover
dark circles, undereyes etc. with a light concealer. Then cover with a little
translucent face powder. Marilyn used
products by Anita of Denmark and
Erno Laszlo .
Marilyn used 5 coats of
Guerlain Rouge Diabolique, to give her that famous lip color, but that's
sadly no longer available although
Guerlain Kiss Kiss Lipstick, in Insolence
de Rouge, number 522 is a really close match.
To get the sultry look of her eyes work a
little light brown eyeshadow would be applied over the lid and up to the brow
line.
Add two coats of
Max Factor's 2000 Calorie Mascara,
for Marilyn's flirty lash look. Marilyn used false strip lashes, not
individuals.
Marilyn's make-up artist Whitey Schneider
always lined the inside of MM's eyes with a white liner. Use a dark liner along
the top of the upper lashline - extending it slightly.
Blush was used to contour up and along
Marilyn's cheekbones and slightly up the face at the edge of the eyes.
Marilyn's look can't be complete without
red nails, to match the lips, try using
Essie Nail Polish,
in Garnet or Fifth Avenue, two vintage look red shades perfect for Marilyn's
glamorous look.
