Wait! That's not Marilyn! Where's the blond lusciousness? The giggle? The famous hip wiggles? And why isn't her skirt flying up from a subway breeze?
Well giggles are a little outdated for today's "fierce" girls, (and what asian girl looks good blonde?) but the signature make up look may still work. Afterall, who doesn't love false eyelashes? Red lips? Sparkly white shadow?
OK, to be honest, this look is a little too...DONE UP...for me to wear without feeling rather self-conscious. Below are steps to simplify and tone down the look for everyday, but really, the fastest way to tone it down is to leave the eyebrows natural and kind of sparse.
Also, the sparkly white shadow works best on women with pale skin.
If you have darker skin, you need to go with a darker shade. Basically,
the shadow should be a slightly paler, sparklier version of your skin color.
To make this more natural:
1)Draw a thicker line with the liquid eyeliner that creates a half-circle around the eyes, even when the eyes are open.
2)Draw a thin line of sparkly eyeshadow all along the edge of the liner. Artists always juxtapose a sliver of extreme light next to the darkest shadow for maximum effect and that is what you are doing.
3) Blend, blend, blend the sparkly shadow so it eventually disappears into your eyes and you don't have the distorted eyes from far away.
4) When letting false eyelashes dry, put your fingers under them so they dry at a steep upward angle. Don't worry. It'll naturally fall into a prettily raised angle as gravity and the weight of your eyelids bring it down.
