Marilyn Monroe/Pinup girl makeup

Contouring and Highlighting.


Hey guys, this is the look I did for today, I was SUPER upset because I could not find my blonde wig anywhere to add to this look. I was going for Marilyn Monroe but it kind of just turned into this sexy pin up look which I love. This look took me a long time. The contouring for this look took a good while. Especially the nose. I tried to make it the same shape as Marilyn's. She has a very round nose so I tried to highlight and add the shadows where needed. I added a shadow to my cheek bones and up at my temples, down the sides and corners of my nose and a little bit underneath, I also did a bit on the jaw line to thin out my face... I did this with a light brown eye shadow. As far as the highlighting I went underneath and above my eyes and below my eyebrows, right above my shadowed cheekbones and in the middle of my chin and between my eyebrows. I looked at a picture of Marilyn while doing this look and it really helped. I outlined my lips to make them nice and big like hers as well. Then for a finish I slapped on some lashes. For this look i used my stage makeup highlighting and contouring kit by BENNYE. Love it I highly recommend it. Hope you all like it!! Please let me know what you think!
