Take a quick Makeup History lesson from some of Old Hollywood's most iconic stars. Some trends are meant to last a lifetime. Here are a few beauty secrets that will help glam up your look.
1. Audrey Hepburn
For flirty lashes, separate each individual lash after applying mascara with a pin or tweezers like Audrey Hepburn.
2. Bette Davis
Under-eye moisture is key like Bette Davis' coveted bright eyes using petroleum jelly under the eyes to combat dark circles.
3. Dorothy Dandridge
Full but groomed eyebrows with a defined arch-like Dorothy Dandridge to frame your face with a more youthful look.
4. Carol Lombard
Straighten your nose as Carol Lombard did with a thin line of highlight down the center of the nose. The illusion of light.
5. Marilyn Monroe
To make your lips look fuller, use different shades and coats of lipstick like Marilyn Monroe. Lighter more orange-red colour in the center and deeper shades of red around the corners and edges. It is a play-on light that will make your lips look full and luscious.
6. Vivien Leigh
Thin lips? Rather than over-lining your entire lip, give yourself a larger pout like Vivien Leigh.
7. Elizabeth Taylor
It’s not only men using the razor for facial hair nowadays. For a natural glow, shave your face like Elizabeth Taylor. Get rid of that peach fuzz
8. Mae West
Coconut oil (which can be replaced with a breathable oil like Rosehip or Jojoba) is your best friend when it comes to facial moisture like Mae West for a youthful glow.
9. Sophia Loren
Dry skin? Put a bit of olive oil in your bath to keep skin soft and luminous like Sophia Loren.
