Classic Marilyn Monroe pin-up look
I love the way red lips look on other women. They are so classic and glamorous, the right tone of red can give anyone that sexy vintage pinup vibe. Although when I wear a red lip I feel like it just somehow doesn't suit me! I feel like I look like a child who has been playing with their mums makeup! I'm to messy as well, I touch my face too much and lip colour ends up smeared all over my chin and cheeks! (not a good look!) Despite this I really do love the way red lips look and I'm trying to get myself accustomed to wearing them. After all they are a classic and although I love my dusky pinks it gets a bit boring every single day! I wanted this makeup to replicate the glamour of the old Hollywood pin-ups such as Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield. All of the products used are listed below.
