Inspired Glam Make Up: How to Steps

Munroe Chic

So after a bit of time browsing Youtube and watching plenty of make up tutorials (again) I came across one which inspired me. It was a Lisa Eldridge's tutorial for Marilyn Munroe's make up. Of course my version isn't as dramatic as Lisa's but I thought I could tone it down a little, making Marilyn's make up perfect for daytime wear. It's such a pretty look and also very simple and versatile, making it a great standard make up look that can be glammed for the evening. 

As I'm sure you know, fellow make up gurus, Munroe's make up is such an iconic and classic look, teaming bold red lips with a more natural but gorgeous eye. This version I used a more pinkish shade of red and, not that I usually wear them, but a pair of falsies which is vital for this look. (I say vital, just my opinion I suppose!)

I'm going to avoid naming all the products I used but as you can see above all the shades are pretty neutral and there's nothing you can't buy from the drugstore down the road that wouldn't work just as well!

The Steps

1; (Lisa Eldridge says) Apply a thick layer of Nivea (I know, not something I'd usually do either) before foundation to give a dewy glow. But, I found it actually works well.
2; Prime your eye and apply a shimmery white shade on your entire eyelid.
3; Contour the socket of your eye with a medium brown shade and blend with a fluffy brush to give depth.
4; Use gel liner to give yourself that beautiful feline flick.
5; Apply lots of black mascara and a pair of false lashes.
6. Contour and highlight your cheekbones to give more definition and shape to your face.
7; Give that lipstick a go! Line your lips first with red a red lip pencil then use a lip brush to apply the colour.

Glam! Enjoy practicing this look and stay beautiful.
