Apply Liner
Apply black eyeliner from the middle of the eye to the outer corner on the top lash line. Then, apply the same liner to the waterline. In true Marilyn Monroe fashion, leave a gap between the top and bottom liner to give the illusion of larger eyes.
Add Mascara and Lashes
This look is all about wispy lashes. Add mascara, then take it one step further with falsies. Don't know how to apply faux lashes? Use our E!ssentials tutorial!
Contour
Lightly apply bronzer under the cheek bones, then blend so it isn't too noticeable.
Apply blush
Rosy cheeks are a must. Apply lightly to cheekbones.
