FACE IT: Marilyn's Look

Marilyn has the most ICONIC look in popular culture, but how did she achieve it? Behind every iconic beauty is a glam squad. Marilyn's was a one man show affectionately referred to as "Whitey" (Allan Snyder). He was also a confidant and friend to her until the end of her life.
Make-up artist Lisa Eldridge
gives you a guided tour of Marilyn's face with some Tips & Tricks that Whitey used to create the iconic face that we all know and love. I love Lisa's educational and informative DIY video.

WATCH Lisa's tutorial:






Prefer to have a step-by-step guide in book form? Check out the late, great Make-up master Kevyn Aucoin's BOOK: Making Faces


Kevyn & Lisa


He transformed Lisa Marie Presley into the Blond Bombshell

  2. Love the do-it-yourself video! Make-up's a fun way to play and go outside your usual limits/looks by switching it up. When you don't have your own glam squad, you just need to be your own! xo
