The Classic Beauty and Iconic Makeup of Marilyn Monroe

Classic beauty is something you can look at without it looking out of place ten or even fifty years later. Sure, things change but well structured beauty lines and clean basic color schemes last forever. Marilyn is an icon stamped into beauty history because of simple and seemingly effortless technique - some of which took a few hours of Hollywood makeup magic a day to perfect. Let's examine the makeup Marilyn Monroe wore and her beauty routine step by step.

The standout super sexy and structural effects are on Marilyn's lips, brows and liner-lashes. Other makeup supports features in a less obvious way with subtle colors and masterful placement.
