Question

How can I subtly assimilate Marilyn Monroe's look?

Nina Shasha

Community Answer

Marilyn was known for a red blue-undertoned lip and a wing liner with lashes. Just don't go all-out with it, or incorporate some of your own look, as well.

L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Lipstick in True Red, Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Rich Girl Red, and NARS Lipstick in Red Lizard are some good dupes.

Question

Which falsies are perfect for this look?

Daniela

Community Answer

Marilyn Monroe was dramatic. I recommend dramatic lashes. To really pull of the look, invest in some high-quality mascara.

Question

I still don't know what lipliner to use, is it so important?

Daniela

Community Answer

Its not that important depending on what look you are going for. Lip liner can vary, but choose a subtle color to bring out the thickness of your lips.
