Authentic MARILYN MONROE Makeup Tutorial & Ethical DIAMONDS Haul 💎

Hey it's Jackie and welcome back to my channel for another Marilyn Monroe inspired makeup tutorial. Last year I had so much fun recreating this iconic orange dress moment and while I did use vintage tips and tricks from Alan Whitey Snyder who was Marilyn's makeup artist, I used all modern products. So this time around I went shopping, we have products from the 50s that you can still buy today so it'll be a little more authentic but I do share my own tips on how to really translate this look on yourself so I hope you enjoy it and what inspired today's video is I was reached out to by a diamond company. These are not real but let me show you my quick diamonds haul because ethical diamonds are a girl's best friend. So thank you EIDL for sponsoring a portion of today's video. These are the beautiful diamond pieces that I picked out. They're subtle, so glamorous and you can wear them every day. Let's do a diamond unboxing. And while I'm super old Hollywood right now I did want to try out the hairstyle with my own brunette hair just to feel like me while I have these glamorous pieces on and do an inspired headshot. So first up we have these medium-sized diamond studs and what's so cool about EIDL is you can get add-ons and there are so many different styles but I picked out these Oh No Hoops. These are lab-grown with the top 1% of lab-grown diamonds. Ethical diamonds would be a beautiful gift for Mother's Day or an anniversary present. All EIDL pieces are designed in Antwerp, the diamond capital of the world. I literally still live in Belgium so it's kind of cool. And an underrated diamond shape is a marquise cut which is what my wedding ring is and that's why I was really drawn to Estelle. So let's try this one on. If you're looking to build up your diamond collection this is a really cool way to do it. Check out EIDL jewelry linked down below and let me know which one you would pick Estelle or Oh No add-on. Okay we're back to blonde and let me show you how to get this authentic Marilyn Monroe makeup. For the base you can still buy this Nivea cream. I just got this. It smells good. I don't think I've ever tried Nivea cream but it's super thick. You can use it all over your body and on your face. What I would normally go with is Magic Cream which is kind of similar in texture but this is at a way higher price point. This also feels so old Hollywood and it's my favorite moisturizer before foundation. Use a little more. Oldie but goodie this smells amazing and is so moisturizing. I've used it everywhere at this point. Just make sure you start with a moisturized base. The next Marilyn makeup hack honestly sounds a little bit brutal but she would use Vaseline under her foundation so I know this will break me out. I'm gonna sacrifice half my face just to try it out. Definitely feels sticky but then for a modern option the Original Photo Finish Smooth and Blur Primer. This one just feels like a serum and I'll just keep on using this for lips. Also saw that Marilyn did have the Max Factor Pan Stick Foundation. This one is pretty high coverage. You can get it now. I found this one on Amazon. It's pretty high coverage. I'm just gonna stipple it on. This is going on really nice over the cream. The Pan Stick Foundation honestly looks pretty good over the Vaseline side and we do get that glow. The tips are working and this next one is intense. I have the Ben Nye Clown White in the cream version and let's do some intense highlighting. Underpainting when you apply the intense highlight underneath the foundation could have been used sometimes but from this written quote that I'm reading, Alan did say he put the foundation on first and that's what I prefer to do as well. How intense is this? Marilyn's face was so highlighted and open and we're working with a pure white here. If you're new to my channel, I love doing celebrity makeup recreations. I kind of follow like a biopic inspired method where I look like me but also the celebrity I'm emulating using little details with contouring and this is my usual go-to palette but even in here this is the lightest shade and it's definitely not quite as bright as this but this palette looks amazing in person. In Marilyn's makeup auction, there was Erno Laszlo powder. I couldn't get my hands on any but they did have a bunch of Erno Laszlo skincare that's available like on Amazon if you want to try it out and she did use that skincare as well but I did find this Coty powder. This is the Coty Talc-Free Formula Airspun Loose Face Powder and the smell of this is so nostalgic. It has such a comforting scent. Let's powder the base makeup. This brush is just by Charlotte Tilbury. It mattifies beautifully. I have some new favorite products from doing this video. Marilyn skipped bronzer and went straight for blush. These are two modern products that I found worked really well recreating this cheek and how I do makeup transformations is a match of final image, not what it would look like behind the scenes because of how much film changed color back then but this is by Fwee and it's one of the best cream blushes I've tried. It reminds me of a vintage rouge pot and then in place of a contour I'm using this blush by Benefit. This is a retro brand but this is a newer product and it's the Rosa Mocha blush called Java. It's matte and the placement is through the cheek up to the temples and then over the forehead so we're gonna get somewhat of a contoured effect but we're doing it with blush. For brows they often used eyeliner pencils from Maybelline or Revlon at the time but I'm just going with this Laura Geller Bravo brow. It's a slightly lighter shade than my natural brows which are quite a bit darker and thicker than Marilyn's so we're going to work with what we've got. The main thing we want to get down to make it feel very Marilyn though is the shape so hers are further apart and they have a beautiful arch and then they trail downwards. Then to soften the brow slightly so they go with this wig I'm taking kind of a blonde shade and bringing it through the brow. Love me a good nose contour, this is such a fun trick. Go for a subtle circle around your tip, creates kind of an upturned look and connect the eye socket to the nose. I went with another modern product for this one, this is Smashbox yet again, I love this palette. In some shots you can really see this detail. Base steps are finally done, let's go ahead and move on to the iconic bedroom eyes. Marilyn owned a lot of Elizabeth Arden but the actual shadows used aren't readily available but I am going to start with a white base. You could I guess use the clown white but I'm worried that would crease so I just took this NYX jumbo eye pencil and I'm warming it up on the back of my hand then just applying this all over the lid and up to the brow bone. Make sure to really get this in the inner corner as well and underneath the bottom lash line about halfway. This white will act as a highlight to the brow bone while the rest of the white works as a great primer for shadow. Now I'm amping up that shadow with the shade Lock It. This is a metallic shadow from MAC, super bright, totally optional but I forgot that I used this glitter bomb from Fenty in the last tutorial which just reminds me of diamonds as well and this gives more of a wet appearance to the shimmer. So I'm adding that to my brow bone just to pick up the light and then layering it on top. So pretty. Now let's focus on creating that iconic shape and I'm keeping it easy. First on a rounded brush I'm taking the contour again connecting the nose to the eye socket and creating an exaggerated shape, tapering this down. Alan Whitey Snyder brought this shadow all the way out to her hairline but it still didn't look too harsh. To warm it up slightly I'm taking the bronze shade. This is an added step but I'm taking the contour on a small brush adding this precisely through the crease one more time to create more of that deep set effect. In the 50s it still was pretty soft, it's glamorous but it's not that intense. So I think you could totally go with the black but we're trying to be authentic here. So I tight lined with the lighter brown and then I have a slightly darker brown that is called Dimensional Dark Brown from Makeup Forever. Etching this along the upper lash line and creating a wing that is extending more outward than upward. And Alan Whitey Snyder said he created a peak in the eyeliner around where the pupil is. So you want to bring this a little bit higher and then taper down. That way when we add the lashes and do the iconic pose you'll get more of that sleepy effect. Now with the white liner from the Wet n Wild kit create a V. I'm blending this out a bit with a little bit more brown liner creating a little line. You want that white space between the double liner and the bottom liner kind of looks like a shadow when we have false lashes on. White eyeliner was also used on the lash line to really open up the eyes but since my eyes are so much larger I'm skipping that step just so I don't look like googly-eyed Marilyn. I said that in my previous tutorial but I always look like a googly-eyed version of like whoever I'm recreating. So I'm skipping that but if you have eyes more similar to her or you just love having huge eyes go with white in the waterline. I saw some Elizabeth Arden lashes were trimmed from her makeup kit. I found this pair from Kiss. They're a little large but my eyes are larger anyway but something I looked for was that the lash pattern went straight down and out instead of the wispy clusters that you see a lot in modern lashes. Let's trim these so that they can be applied from around the pupil tapered downwards and let's push those lashes downwards. This hack is quite retro and I honestly can't see it in any Marilyn photos but apparently it was used on her. Adding a little dot of red liner right in the inner corner and this is supposed to brighten up the eye. Another trick which probably isn't great for your eyes all the time but using eye drops that'll brighten up your eyes as well and I'm so excited to move on to this lip combo. Lips are such an iconic Marilyn feature. For the shape I'm creating a rounded upper lip and over lining extending the width a bit and in Marilyn style we have a lot of products to get this lip look down and I will be using a lip brush. Elizabeth Arden was such a popular brand that you can still buy today. This wouldn't have been the shade used behind the scenes because of how the vintage cameras picked everything up they had to go with an orange so that it would look red but this modern shade that you can get now from Elizabeth Arden is called Remarkable Red and I think it'll be a great match. How gorgeous is that red? In the center let's try this classic red from Revlon. This is called Cherries in the Snow. I think it'll go gorgeous with the pink that we're wearing too. I'll just apply directly in the middle. It's a little bit more pink. If you have clown white just add a little bit of this on a brush and highlight through the center. I'm using Chestnut lip liner from MAC and really lightly adding a bit more dimension. Pretty sure I did this the first time but I applied it first and it ended up being a bit too dark. For gloss I used this in my last Marilyn tutorial and I freaking love it. These are my favorite drugstore glosses and it's by Maybelline. The shade is Pearl and it's going to pick up the perfect amount of shine. Plus they smell amazing. By the way I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything flipped because this is my good side. So her part and beauty mark is flipped. Final step for that Hollywood glow I'm taking a little bit again of a modern product. This is the Hollywood Beauty Light Wand. My favorite. It's in the shade Spotlight so it's very retro inspired. That would be diffused with the retro cameras. Make sure the red doesn't get on your teeth. While you had to wear an orange lipstick for the Technicolor film to present the lip as red, makeup artist and Marilyn historian Erin Parsons decoded that Marilyn seemed to prefer coral or orange lipstick even off camera. I'm sure if you're a fan of Marilyn Monroe you've already watched Erin's amazing content but I'll have it linked down below and in the cards because she does like complete deep dives and has actually collected some of her authentic products that Marilyn actually owned. And she said Revlon Siren was the best match so we have to try this on. That's actually really pretty. I actually love it. It's not too bold of an orange. So out of these two Revlon shades do you prefer Cherries in the Snow or Siren? Oh my gosh this is heavy. Of course this is not real. This is costume jewelry. Let me take out my real diamonds I've been rocking that I love so much. Thank you Idol. Wow those are all so heavy. We can't forget fragrance. Marilyn was famous for using Chanel number five but I found this interview where she did mention using Yardley English Lavender. So they do have that at the drugstore. It's like $20 so something a little bit more affordable and of course the formula would have changed but I still wanted to try it because I love the brand Yardley especially their 60s ads. I have recreated one of my favorites of Jeanne Shrimpton but I wanted to try this. Oh it smells very fresh and a quote that I thought was fake but it isn't. I found the article. Marilyn used to add a little bit of perfume in her brows like I'm assuming with the spoolie back of the knees and the ankles to really make the scent her own but yeah I'm not going to try that one on the brows because my eyes will like definitely water but I will be applying to the back of the knees. It smells so good. Definitely try this if you're looking for like a retro brand.

I had so much fun putting together this video so I really hope you enjoyed it and thank you again to EIDL for my more subtle actual diamonds that I will be rocking a lot. I'm sure you'll see them on Instagram. Again they are linked down below and I will see you in my next one.
