2. Apply a little concealer under the eyes and apply a liquid foundation in the center of the face. Blend it to the outside of the face. Apply translucent powder all over the face.

3. Create Marilyn Monroe's signature arched eyebrows by running a golden brown eyebrow pencil over the eyebrow using short strokes. Seal in the look by putting a coat of clear mascara on the newly arched eyebrows.

4. Put a medium brown eye shadow on the crease of the eye and then apply frosted white eye shadow to the lid and the brow bone. Now apply some black liquid eyeliner to the upper lashes and a medium brown eyeliner to the bottom lashes.

5. Curl the eyelashes and apply false lashes to the outer corner of each eye. Apply a thick layer of mascara to the upper and lower lashes. Apply a rose-colored blush to the cheeks.

6. Line the lips with a skin-colored or red lip liner and use a lip brush to fill the lips in with a bright cherry red lipstick. Put a dot of clear lip gloss onto the center of the bottom lip to make the lips appear fuller and more like Marilyn Monroe's.
