Anybody who knows me knows that I adore Marilyn Monroe, and have for a long time. She is definitely one of my idols, especially when it comes to body image and beauty. She was one of the most naturally beautiful women in the world, but still had a few key looks that made her truly stand out from everybody else. Here are some of my product picks for perfecting the Marilyn look!
NARS Guy Bourdin Holiday Collection Limited Edition Cinematic Lipstick in Cherry: Full, glossy, bright red lips have to be the most important part of creating this look! Marilyn had extremely fair skin like me, but she had this way of pulling off intensely red lips in a way I never could. This NARS lipstick is perfect for achieving this look, as it's glossy, highly pigmented and incredibly creamy.
Sephora Collection False Eyelashes in Flair: When Marilyn's in full makeup, she seems to have an extra flair on her outside lashes only. These false eyelashes from Sephora are perfect for this, because they're made to do exactly that. Sephora does 10 different styles to create any look, but these are by far the best. As they're made with natural hair, they give a soft, natural effect when applied.
Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Foxy: If Marilyn wears any eyeshadow at all in her classic look, it's extremely light to the point where you can't tell she's wearing it. Foxy is perfect for this effect when it comes to light skin tones, as it's a completely matte cream bisque colour that makes your eyes pop, without looking like you're wearing anything on your lids.
Diorskin Nude Skin-Glowing Makeup SPF 15: Marilyn either had amazing natural skin, or an incredibly talented makeup artist. Either way, this foundation gives you exactly the look that she has. Natural, hydrated and glowing. The best part is, with continued use, your skin becomes more and more radiant over time.
Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronzing Powder in Aruba: Part of having a healthy glow like Marilyn has, is appearing ever so slightly sun kissed in just the right areas. A light, shimmering, sheer bronzer like this one will give you that natural glow, without having to lose your natural radiance by exposing your skin to the sun. The lighter and more sheer the bronzer, the better.Just apply it lightly to the areas of your face that the sun would naturally hit!
