Experimenting
Marilyn Monroe was not just an iconic figure for her beauty; she was also a trailblazer when it came to exploring innovative techniques to enhance her appearance. While she was known for her makeup, hand positions, and body posture, her makeup artist introduced a groundbreaking concept – facial contouring using makeup. Given Marilyn’s naturally stunning facial features, her makeup artist saw an opportunity to experiment and make her even more captivating.
Instead of adhering to the conventional cat-eye and red lips, they used blush to contour her nose, creating the illusion of a smaller, more refined appearance. This daring experiment showcased Marilyn’s willingness to push boundaries and her dedication to perfecting her image, ultimately contributing to her status as a beauty icon.
