The Untold History of Marilyn Monroe's Favorite Beauty Products 💕💋💋💄 

Shop Vintage Doll Cosmetics

We never get tired of Marilyn! She's naturally beautiful, but every woman needs good beauty products. Loved the video, Laura! 💖

Apparently she used to trace a light line on her bottom lashes and outer corners under her eyeliner to give the illusion of the shadow of her lashes which made her lashes appear even thicker etc. You can see the line in some of the pictures once you know :)

Her makeup case had Elizabeth Arden cream eye shadows and she used Elizabeth Arden's White Lustre cream eye shadow first and then applied the pastel cream eye shadows. She also had Elizabeth Arden eyeliners in brown and black in her case. I did not know she used Nivea cream, but I will definitely buy some and try it. You gave a very good breakdown of what she wore. She had a natural beauty and her makeup doesn't look outdated.

I watched a video Erin Parsons Makeup did, about Marilyn's lipstick. Erin collects old makeup, is a makeup artist and loves anything Monroe. She actually bought 1 of her used lipsticks and some of Monroes other makeup. Erin found that she actually wore orange lipstick most of the time. It shows up as red on TV, because they couldn't get the colour correct, as colour hadn't been perfected yet on screen. Erin noted that the best dupe is Revlon Siren.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I had no idea that her lipsticks are still available. I'm going to look into it soon. She had amazing taste in cosmetics and skin care! Thank you so much for putting this video together!! By the way, I too love Chanel #5 since a friend of my mother introduced the scent to me when I was just 16. There was no looking back!

One of my first make-up experiences that I can remember is my Grandma taking me to the drug store and buying me a Max Factor book that came with 3 or 5 different lipsticks. My Grandma loved Marilyn Monroe and we bonded over watching her movies and singing her songs. She passed down her love of make-up and skincare to me as well. Her skin was always so beautiful and soft, even well after the alzheimer's took over. I remember her using her Oil of Olay moisturizer, making sure to use to one with SPF during the daytime, and her Estée Lauder lipsticks, which my mom ended up giving to me when we had to move my Grandma into a care home. I held on to them for years and I'm not sure what happened to them. I'm afraid that maybe they got lost during a cleaning spree before moving. What I wouldn't give to have them now...or even just to remember what shades they were. She had a beautiful pink mauve shade and a pinky-coral shade that I remember loving the most, and her lipsticks always had flat tops and never kept the angled shape to them. I do still have a compact mirror of hers that I carry with me every day, her eyelash curler, a bottle of her Chanel No. 5 she gave me when I discovered it was Marilyn's favorite perfume, her rat-tail brush she used to tease and fluff her hair with, and her last toiletries bag-which I use every day as well. I learned so much about beauty and how to take care of my skin from her and still apply some of those lessons to my daily routine.

She'd be 96 now & we all know she'd be the most gorgeous 96yr old on the planet.😍❤RIP MARILYN❤❤I wish she would've been able to live a full happy life. Id love to have seen all of the amazing things she would've done❤💋

So thankful Marilyn lived long before the time of fillers and Botox and the myriad of other procedures available today. Through Marilyn we have enduring images of natural beauty in every respect.

Gotta ask. Why do you say woman instead of women?

I’m so sad max factor isn’t sold like it used to be😭💔

Thank Laura Jane! Revlon needs all of the sales it can get!!

Marilyn had such natural beauty!

So cool! I would love to know how her bleached hair was toned, so perfect and shiny

Max Factor was the only foundation when it was available at drug stores that I would get compliments on having such natural peaches and cream complexion! Too bad I sometimes got little pimples on my forehead from using it back in the day. No wonder it was used so much in Hollywood. My sister used my Max Factor foundation and she got complimented that she looked like a dream. It really was special.

I enjoyed this video ♥ But I do think Marilyn Monroe just had good genes and good skin and that none of those products were the cause of her skin looking so good. Maybe the makeup helped. I have super oily skin and cannot use most of Enro Lazlo's products. I say

Revlon has some very nice lipsticks. I have a few of them. Oil of Olay original smells so nice.

A great video, loved it. Marilyn was one of a kind. Still aggravated Kim K wore her dress🤣🤣Thanks Laura!!

Great episode. I think she was the most beautiful woman ever.

When she radiated her light she was truly beautiful.
