The allure of Marilyn Monroe

I want to share with you a wonderful 'Marilyn Monroe' inspired makeup tutorial by talented UK Makeup Artist Lisa Eldridge. I was fascinated by this in-depth tutorial on Marilyn's iconic look, and tips and tricks used by her own personal makeup artist Whitey to create her unrivaled mystique, glamour and magnetism. Her allure is inimitable, and she remains one of my favorite Hollywood icons. ♥
