Marilyn Monroe defines the glamorous pin-up look of the 1950s. Sexy, yet innocent, her look is timeless and has been copied by many celebrities. Here are 10 easy steps to getting the Marilyn Monroe look:

1. Apply foundation in the lightest tone suitable, and dust over with translucent powder.

2. Use a light brown eyebrow pencil, making small feathered strokes. Blend in with eyebrow brush. Continue line to elongate brow, and draw line so it’s arched over the centre pupil.

3. Use a rosy pink blusher and apply along the cheekbones and below the apple of the cheek making sure to blend upward toward the temple.

4. Apply white eyeliner to the inner rim of the bottom eyelid to make the eye look bigger.

5. Apply a white or very light pink eyeshadow to the whole eyelid up to the eyebrow.

6. Use a black eyeliner pencil (regular or liquid) on the top lid only. Starting at the inside corner of the top lid, apply a line that’s not too thick following the curve of the lid, and extend it slightly past the outside corner of the top lid.

7. Curl eyelashes, and apply two coats of black mascara only on the top lashes. For a more dramatic affect use false eyelashes. The trick is to trim the false eyelashes, but leave the outer ends long to give that doe-eyed look that Marilyn made famous.

8. Outline and fill in lips with a deep red glossy lipstick.

9. If you want to go the whole way, draw on a beauty spot with an eyeliner pencil like Marilyn’s.

10. To finish off the look, make a side parting in your hair and do rolled curls.

You’ve got the Marilyn Monroe look, so go flaunt it!
