The Eyes
Then come the eyes. When you think of Marilyn and her made up face the red lips usually come to mind but much of her look comes from her beautifully groomed brows. Even photos of her with pale lips have those recognizable eyebrows.
Start by applying an all over neutral eyeshadow color to your entire eyelid. Vapour Organic Beauty has a nourishing formula designed for opaque wear. It's all organic and Vapour Organic Beauty products are made in New Mexico. The best thing about this formula is the fact that no beauty tools are required. It blends easily with your fingertips and since it is a cream formula there is no powdery mess.
Jane Iredale liquid eyeliner helps to create the mod winged liner look. It's simple but bold. Using the liquid liner allows more control and a precise line for a finely finished look.
Coat your lashes in Jane Iredale Pure Lash Lengthening Mascara, a rich black mascara to open up your eyes. Don't forget the bottom, you don't need the eyeliner there but a few careful coats of mascara will finish the look. Every product in the Jane Iredale line is manufactured in America.

You are very beautiful but none of the makeup techniques you used are what Marilyn used. Not even close. The black eyeliner and lashes look like something off of a cheap doll. Research what she actually did. For instance she never used full eyelashes. She used demi or took fake eyelashes and cut them in THIRDS and used on theouter part of her lids. The eyebrows not even close. The eyes look garish and painted. She rarely wore blood red lipstick instead she opted for super dark pinks. Cherry blossom (not Cherries in the Snow) was one by Revlon lipstick. She had some interesting techniques worth looking into for accuracy.
