Watch this video on my site http://www.lisae.me.uk/21757 for product links, tips and more info. Although it's very difficult to get all the exact details as her make-up artist never betrayed her secrets, it's fun to talk about the different tricks and details of Marilyn's make-up. Marilyn had lots of different looks and was pretty natural off camera but this video concentrates on the very glamorous look she had for her movies and poster shoots from 1953 through to the end of the 50's. Lots of the tricks were geared towards the lighting, film and cameras of the time. I'm creating an illustrative version inspired by her look. Hope you enjoy it! x

May 12, 2012 - I agree, she spoke very clearly. "Marilyn was incredibly keen on protecting her skin. Her favorite products for doing this was good old fashioned Vaseline and Nivea." She said she didn't advocate it because it would make your face look greasy using today's modern camera technology, not because its unhealthy and carcinogenic. In fact, some of the products she recommends for skincare contain petroleum. Maybe you need to listen better sugar. Oh and she is a youtube guru, dear. Ta ta ;3

May 15, 2012 - This is by far the best Marilyn tutorial I've seen. Most of the other tutorials have strange eye and lip make up, I guess those artist were adding there own twist to the iconic look.

May 16, 2012 - Never mind, I admit it, I didn't listen well. Well, I guess you could answer my question: What's in fact the difference between a beauty guru and a make up artist. It just that since I'm watching YT beauty videos, there are a lot of gurus without being make up artist and vice versa. (Let me be clear: It is just a doubt. I'm not trying to create arguments from my question and so). I hope you could help.

May 17, 2012 - A beauty 'guru' is someone with a webcam and a bunch of makeup. Lisa is a makeup artist who actually works on celebrities and fashion shoots. Check out her website-- her portfolio is impressive.

May 18, 2012 - A beauty guru is just someone on youtube that is famous and well known for their videos concerning matters of beauty: hair, makeup, skincare, fashion. Lisa Eldridge is both a beauty guru and a makeup artist. That's what it's all about :), ta ta

May 22, 2012 - The way you talk about make up and express yourself about Marilyn it is just amazing and it looks like you have so much respect for the icon she is! I only have brothers so I never actually learned how to make up myself and your videos taught me! thank you! I wanted to ask you, recently I bought a yellow eyeshadow and I don't want to use it in all my eyes but just to add a fun and chick touch, do you have any advice? Thank you so much! p.s. my skin is "cool toned" (NW20 in MAC makeup) xo

May 22, 2012 - What kinda of highlighting powder, makeup etc are you using?
nevil345 Says:
May 23, 2012 - The lipstick is off her lip and on her skin! That stains! Lipstick didn't get it's name for nothing!
liveforlove13 Says:
May 25, 2012 - thats the point....its supposed to g outside, marilyn monroe certainly didn't have lips like that naturally.
