MARILYN MONROE 1950s MAKE-UP TUTORIAL 

As pretty as this look is, some things you should know about how "whitey" (Marilyn's makeup artist) did her makeup: 1. It wasn't a black liquid, it was a brown pencil 2. She never wore powder, only a tiny bit on her nose and forehead for film 3. She sometimes put white eye shadow in the middle of her lips and wore loads of lip gloss that she used to make herself 4. I noticed you didn't use any highlighter, which she used a lot of for film to shape her face You just seem to know a lot about her, so this info may be useful in the future :-)

That foundation is PERFECT. It covers up all of the redness!

the ending was adorable oh my god

The color of your eyes is soooo beautiful :)

Great tutorial! Marilyn's makeup artist usually used brown eyeliner on her with the thinnest (really thin) line of a bronze just on the top of the eyeliners edge (on the lid), he also used a white pencil on the inner eye and otter edge of the eye just under the part that starts to come away from the eye - weird. BUT i do love this tutorial its a very modern Marilyn and easy for ppl who don't do much with their makeup- you have make it SUPER EASY

Thanks! You demystified the Marilyn look. I never figured out the eyeliner until today. I will return again and again.

Liked the tutorial,but think a bit more research on her routine would have helped,she shed brown pencil,not black liner,and lots of contour and highlighting to achieve the perfect heart shape.She also used her own gloss and her favourite lipstick was Diabolique by Guerlain now called Insolence de rouge 522.Whitey who was her mua used over 5 layers of lipstick and gloss with whhite powder to achieve her fantastic pout.

This has to be one of my favourite pixiwoo tutorials, and Iv been watching pixiwoo for quite some time, but this is one of my favourites of them all.

You actually look like her a little bit just a younger version :) so pretty :) great tutorial!

The original tutorial you guys did for Marilyn Monroe is the reason i love make up to this day!! thank you so much for everything you do!

Once in a Museum I saw Merilyn's lipstick stain preserved on a napkin.:) It was in the shape of a pouty kiss:)

great make-up! I really love the make-up and dresses of the 1950s, so thanks a lot! You looked gorgeous with the make-up and blonde hair :)

Lovely look, Nic. A funny thing: Marilyn's "beauty spot" was really a mole that she colored in with a brown eyeliner pencil ... just as you did with yours. xo

OMG!!!! this is the greatest look of marilyn monroe that i've ever seen... just perfect and you are gorgeous!... congratulations Nic!!

You have really pretty eyes

I love the how you always manage to cover the redness so well with your foundations!!

Marilyn actually used a brown pencil liner..

i've been watching your videos for literally forever and your eye color still amazes me to this day! i love it sooo much!

You should go as Marilyn for Halloween one year. :)

That liner makes your eyes stand out beautifully. Gorgeous!

Great job you really do look like her

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO. I REALLY LOVE MAKEUP. I REALLY LOVE THE WAY SHE POUTS HER LIP AND POSES AT THEEND OF THE SHOW

I just love how you said, that blonde is not your colour and now you are blondie. :D I personally think, that blonde looks the best on you.

Nic, you so easily steal people's hearts with your goofy charm. I just love watching your tutorials! I laugh and giggle every time.

Beautiful, I find you look a bite more like Madonna then Marilyn Monroe but like I said very beautiful. I think you look lovely with blond hair.

I adore this look!! So simple but still breath taking!! Loved it!!! Thaks Nic for your awesomeness! Love from Greece!

your skin is flowless no pores

Woah you totally changed the size and shape of your lips, and it looks pretty natural, good job

hahah so cute :) thanks for sharing this with us :)

Lovely makeup look Nic and you cracked me up at the end with the Marilyn poses and pouting lips - well done x

I love this tutorial, is there any chance you could do one to adapt it into a zombie? X

Ok i have to say that I am in love with your skin! It's so shiny but not in a bad way, even when you apply foundation it maintains that beautiful healthy glow and I've seen you switch between foundations

she wore white eyeshadow on her entire eye, and brown liner above and below her eye to create a "shadow" and white in-between, she had specific contouring to get the perfect heart shape face which is why her brows were that way, it was to draw them upwards.. u should have researched her look more.. the reason it was so iconic is because it was SPECIFIC, took years to master. it wasn't just normal eyeliner mascara and lipstick.. there were ways it was applied, different techniques and colors, to look the way it does. you just should've researched a little more.

LOVE the 1950's and this look I have an old hollywood glam look too! Definitely my favorite time period :D

you do look like her

love it! omg you girls just look absolutely stunning no matter what makeup you tutor us for! I'm a 50's fan so this is just right up my alley...thanks :)

I want to utilize a soft brush to applying my make up. I buy my brush from here mobile.twitter.com/firdaaww/status/861843281314959360 The brush quality is so remarkable and the shipping is complimentary so I recommend it to you guys! I believe this brush set will make your make up routine more enjoyable!

This was the most adorable makeup tutorial ever... I loved it, and oh my gosh you have such a steady hand! You're so talented! :)

Quite a good job. You've captured much of her subtleties in her makeup bag of tricks.

I've been looking for the way she did her lips for sooo long! Thankyou!

your lips' shape is to die for! ♥ red lipstick looks so good on you, i'm jealous~ thanks for an awesome tutorial!

What a wonderful video. The makeup is extraordinary, very well demonstrated and instructed on how to put on and not even to mention the fun I had watching the comical humor taking place. :D One of the best Marilyn Monroe makeup tutorials I have seen. 10/10! I love how light the make up is compared to others I have seen, where they pile it on! :D

I love it when you guys go retro and do old Hollywood. More please!

Stunning green eyes, lovely tutorial and beautiful effect very clear and quality of videoing... Closeups exception!

Beautiful! The way you do the makeup is perfect. You do sport the blonde very well actually. I did Marilyn for Halloween a couple of years ago and it was fun, but I sure wish I had this video then.

Im so pleased about finding you two on youtube about a year ago. I love EVERYTHING!

My favourite makeup tutorial on youtube! Absolute genuis Sam x

I enjoyed watching it too(: I love how your complexion was just transformed and it was so beautiful. And nothing distracted me in the background(: Great quality too.

You look fab! :D The eye makeup is so simple yet stunningly beautiful and classy!!!

OH LORD! Your eyes are so absolutely beautiful, I can't even say how beautiful they are. You two have the most beautiful eyes I've seen! Yours are the definition of green eyes and sam's are the definition of blue eyes;

You are truly an artist!! You always look beautiful and your skin is flawless

Gosh her eyes... they're such a vibrant green

This eye makeup in my opinion is perfect as an everyday makeup, too. And I plan to wear is as everyday makeup :). So beautiful!!!

i really adore pixiwoo. the best make-up tutorials on the internet, in my opinion. i really don't understand how come michelle phan has more subscribers than you. nothing against her (she is a really nice person.) but i think you two are much better make-up artists and tutors. xx

Your face is literally PERFECT.

Hi Nikki I was wondering do you have rosacea? My face is a bit red like yours and I worry so much about it, but you really embrace it! Tips? I want to embrace it and love it.

Your naturally red cheeks are always so gorgeous under foundation, like a natural blush! So jealous!
