When you think of sexy, there is one woman that stands out and withstands the test of time… Marilyn Monroe. And it’s mainly because of that signature sultry/sleepy eye look (well that’s the makeup artist in me speaking)!
She also bunked the theory that women need to be rail thin to be sexy (this is quite a debate that I researched, but the majority say that Marilyn was between a size 8 and 12). Her makeup was extremely exquisite and she depended on her personal makeup artist Allan Snyder to always do her signature eye makeup look. She actually depended on him from the beginning of her career until the day she died, literally. He did her funeral makeup- creepy, but interesting!
It’s actually not that difficult to get the same sultry, slightly sleepy, eye look that Marilyn always rocked.
Here is an easy Step by Step of how to achieve it:
Sophia Loren also wore a version of this white liner in the outer corner trick.
Guess this was a big screen siren trick back in the day- I haven’t noticed many recent day celebs sporting this look. But maybe they should!! It sure worked for these lovely ladies.
Who is your modern day Marilyn sexy symbol??
