When beauty technology was not as advanced as it is now, all Hollywood stars beautify in a very manual way. Let’s find out what beauty monuments such as Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn… have done to make their beauty such a lasting impression on the public.
Marilyn Monroe
For her legendary plump lips, Marilyn was made up by her own makeup artist using at least 5 lipsticks. 5 lipsticks with 5 different shades and materials, from matte lipstick to lip gloss, are in turn spread on the lips of the big star. She often applies the darkest lipstick colors at the edges and corners of the lips, then fades to the center of the lips, ending with a little lip gloss at the center of the lips to create a seductive lips.

To get such beautiful eyes, Audrey often applies mascara carefully to each lash, then uses tweezers to gently separate each strand to have a beautiful line of eyelashes.
