What other famous figure's beauty routine would you like to see Mi-Anne follow? Leave your suggestions in the comments!
Refinery29 the Kardashians
Refinery29 love youu
Refinery29 I’m so inspired
Refinery29 Audrey Hepburn
Refinery29 I love marlyn Monroe
I love how dedicated you were to more than just the routine but to Marilyn and who she was as a person.
+gretchen,stoptryingtomakefetchhappen So glad you appreciate the small details!!
agreed!
Well done! It should be noted that they recently found out Marilyn's make up routine actually took hours with many steps still a secret. She was THE make up artist; she knew how to make herself look "perfect". I'd love to see you try Mae West!
Marilyn almost resented her beauty. She felt it made her a joke.
Many, many close friends would go on to say that MM did not care for fashion nor beauty. And this is backed up by the fact that Marilyn never owned any designer clothes nor make up. When Marilyn wasn't working she would not wear make up and would go days without washing her hair. She wore slacks and shirts. All her glam was provided by the studio because she was contractually obligated to appear beautiful during promotion tours and premieres.
When her Seven Year Itch images were being plastered everywhere she is noted to have said, "That's what I am to people. That's what they think of me. A joke. Big breasts, big ass - big deal. I want to be more."
I think it was her security blanket to be beautiful, but I doubt she ever really cared. Her home had more books than clothes, shoes, accessories, and make up combined.
celifacejones I’m a big MM fan and I agree with what you say but she does own a lot of designer clothes and base on her receipts she kept, she splurges a lot on high end stuff especially cosmetics and clothing.
Larry O Most of what she owned was given to her or sent to her. She rarely purchased make up or clothing. Near the end, she bought some Pucci and designer clothes - but they were purchased for photo shoots (specifically for the Allan Grant and George Barris shoot - she also rented an upscale house for that shoot). Throughout the 50s, MM lived in apartments and anything glam was provided by the studio. Even her make up kit was make up she had acquired through make up artists (mostly Snyder).
When her belongings were itemized she had very few real jewels - most were costume jewelry pieces on hand from the studio.
The only thing I can think of MM actually splurged on was perfume.
celifacejones I see, yeah there were a lot of receipts for items such as Ferragamo and Pucci so it looks that way and she bought things in multiples. I know she is a simple girl at heart like the slacks in the life magazine shoot she had for years before she was even famous but some reports claim she spent a lot as she’s always either in debt or breaking even so maybe it was all business expenses like beauty upkeep and fancy wardrobes.
Larry O Simple girl, but also notoriously underpaid. Even during GPB she was making a weekly salary of a contract player with no dressing room while Jane Russell made hundreds of thousands. It was Russell that convinced MM to stand up for herself. Even still, compared to the millions her peers were making, MM was one of the most underpaid stars of her time.
celifacejones yeah that is true and also the most mistreated. Heard a story that she was at a party and someone pulled her top down exposing her and she just laughed it off. Her life was tragic.
Please do Audrey Hepburn! She was such an amazing woman!❤️love this video❤️
Riley Phares yasss
Riley Phares YES PLZ AUDREEEYYYYY
Jackie too!!!
Yesss Audreyyy
Yes, I was hoping for this one too
Do Elizabeth Taylor because she always had great skin and look flawless yet she had a lot of surgeries and suffered from back pain. It'll cool to see the contrast
+marielvazquez OOH, interesting!!
This isn’t Elizabeth Taylor but Hedy Lamarr.
Longtime Marilyn fan here, I’ve read 100s of books about her. What I think is Marilyn knew she was beautiful, but she thought her allure was more coming from her body and her sexuality. She created “Marilyn” as a cover for Norma Jean. The cover had to be perfect and she did a lot to keep it perfect, but I don’t think she enjoyed it. Many say she would go without makeup and wouldn’t even wash her hair for days when she wasn’t working.
+edie Thanks for sharing!!
Did the lack hygiene start with the drug use?
I could see that. The way those hairdos would prob take forever to make. Plus sure the girl needed a break
Spring Flowers Not washing your hair isn’t a lack of hygiene. It’s a known fact that it’s good not to wash your hair every day since it strips too much of your natural oils. Depending on hair type and length, one should only wash it every other day to every two to three days minimum.
Edie yup
She would have been the most pretty grandma if she were alive.
I wonder if Jackie and Marilyn ever bumped into each other at the Erno Laszlo institute.
It would of made for great gossip if they did!! 😯😯😯😆😆😆
Maliha Intikhab Jackie would not care that much.she was a trophy wife.in her words she got her opinions from her husband.she just needed a rich important man.
Maliha Intikhab I’m pretty sure Jackie answered one if not a few of Marilyn’s calls to the Kennedys and attempted to reassure her
Katarina M I’m sure she thought much more highly of herself.
Katarina M she evolved over time she became a much stronger and independent woman when her husband was killed
Marilyn also used to put a dab of white shadow on the centre of her lips to enhance the full look and create dimension. Additionally, she would put a tiny dot of red eyeliner (or lip liner) near her tear-ducts/inner eye corners because the red colour made the whites of her eyes pop. Kind of disappointed you didn't include those.
I was watching a video of a ballet dancer doing her makeup for a performance a few days ago and she did the red dot in the outer corner of the eye. I had never even heard of this before
Scarlet Styles I wear white in my eye corners
She would put some dark mascara or eyeliner underneath her eyes so it looked like her eye lashes were creating a shadow because they were so heavy and long
I was waiting for the red eyeliner trick too
Scarlet Styles preach
If people enjoy this video, Lisa Eldridge who Mi-Anne was referencing, has done a lot of icon related make up tutorials videos on her channel such as this Marilyn Monroe look, Princess Diana, Amy Winehouse, David Bowie, Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn. Plus she does tutorials for older women, teenagers, people struggling with acne, rosacea, skin changes due to the menopause. She's a make up champion!
Wow Mi-Anne!! That glow!! You totally captured it and it looks amazing on you! 🤗💕
I love how you just didn't focus on her outer beauty but also her beauty within her. She is indeed a strong woman despite what she went through.
Mi-Anne!! This episode is so cool!!! It's so informative and engaging. Great work!
I think this is very close to the original. However, excuse my observation but, Im fairly certain (source- my grandmothers exact copy of this fashionable then look) that the eyeliner she applied on the lower lashline was just a slightly V line on the outer corner going outwards in the shape of the shadow of her upper eyelashes.. The rest of the brown eyeliner was applied inside the waterline and with a slight touch of pearly white eyeshadow underneath on the middle of the eye bags. The brushes used at the time were all extremely delicate and pointy. Her look was all about precision and pearly white clean shine!
I really enjoyed this though :) Dunno why I even noticed that, must be cause I miss my grandma (passed away 1,5 yrs ago) :(
margaritanoir condolence
Lisa Elridge's video on Marilyn's makeup is fabulous. She gives so much detail about the makeup, as well as Marilyn and Whitey. One of my favorite videos to rewatch
THANK YOU for the flashing lights warning! 🙏🏻😭 It’s so rare to get one on RUclips, but so so so important ❤️
Please do cleopatra! I’ve always wanted to know about all her natural beauty routines :)
she really does look like marilyn but with her own little flare. they are both STUNNING, i dont think ive seen anyone pull off marilyn as much as she does. drop dead gorgeous!
Would you do Brigitte Bardot next please??
I loved that you actually researched before you did this. It was very accurate
Might be my favorite video you’ve ever done and that says a lot bc they’re all great!❤️Mi is soo beautiful
+shishtershnapped OMG! That's amazing!! TYSM!
Ok wow this was way deeper than I was expecting! Excellent video. One of the best i have seen on Marilyn Monroe. Thank you for this!
She actually liked her facial "fuzz" because she said it made her skin look like it was glowing on camera.
I can't help falling in love with Mi and refinery ❤️❤️❤️
+thelazyartist This is the best news we've had all morning! ;)
Refinery29 and Mi, I can't get enough! More than just a beauty magazine, you're so smart and do your research and then are able to deliver fun and insightful projects that feed my heart and soul! I'm a beauty junky, I used to be ashamed to say, but you guys are just SO SMART with everything you do! When I'm feeling blah, I search your articles out on Snapchat and it makes me feel right as rain. Keep doing what you do, because you're all so good at it! When people are passionate about what they do, it shows! I appreciate it!
+katiewhiting What a lovely message! Thanks for hanging out with us!!
Wow this was way more informative than I expected ✨💕💕
Do Marie Antionette!!
+amelia OOH, good one!
The bottom eyeliner shadow thing is actually genius and I'm about to start doing that .
So glad you guys paid some attention to who she was as a person in this video! Her pop culture image has spread a vastly oversimplified understanding of her and what her life was like, effectively erasing all her struggles and some of her triumphs. Great job, would love to see another similar video!
Love this!! I would love to see Audrey Hepburn or Jackie O!
+rheannahazelet Great suggestions!!
Mi-Anne I’d love to see Nancy Kwan’s beauty routine. She was the first mainstream Asian beauty icon and is never really spoken about today.
Please do Audrey Hepburn next! Please please please ❤️
So great to have you join us, Mi-Anne! Hope your skin continues looking ✨✨
Erno Laszlo please bring back the shake it Make up! I miss it so much. I have been using your products for years and absolutely love them! But I miss the Makeup line. Best wishes!
Hi Penny! Thanks for all the love
Erno Laszlo I'm sorry to hear this. But I do understand! Thank you so much for the update! I still have a bottle from 7 years ago i accidentally purchased the wrong color. It will be saved and put on display in my bathroom with the rest of my Laszlo collection 😉
Amazing Mi! I love how you didn't forget to emphasize her humanity while analyzing the beauty icon as well.
That eyeshadow lash shadow tip rocked my world.
Finally a makeup tip I haven’t heard of before!!! The faux eyelash shadow on the lower lash line, I’m definitely gonna try it☺️
+nicolelucarelli Such a great tip!
I love Marilyn and her story. I’m so glad more people are starting to be more interested in learning more about her person on top of the obsession with her movie star persona and sex icon status. She was so complicated and surprisingly relateable. She constantly struggled with depression and feeling unloved, even at the height of her fame. She divorced her first husband so she could pursue a film career, but spent it longing for a family she was never able to have with any of her three husbands. She was constantly fighting to be taken seriously as an actor, but all anyone paid for was her blonde bimbo act, so she used interviews to flex how smart and witty she really was.
+shomesho Thanks for sharing!
I love this. The brown eyeliner/fake shadow technique works so well!
that look is insanely pretty
I loved this. I'd love to see a series on this idea, through out the years and different Icons through the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and so forth. I think it could really take off!
+morganprindle That's the idea! ;)
I'm going to see West Side Story in less than a week so I'm definitely going to use this as my makeup inspiration!
Also, would love to see Twiggy's makeup routine!!!
Please do Rita Hayworth sometime!💙 She is just such an icon😍
I appreciate your message at the beginning about the flashing lights! I don't have to worry for myself, but my mother is epileptic and extremely sensitive to flashing lights, thank you for the warning!
That Marilyn biography is AMAZING! I read it a few years ago. So, so good.
Mi-Anne and Lucie are the reasons I remain subscribed to this channel.
Maliha Intikhab ikr
Same and shady too
me too!
This concept is so dope Mi! I love how the look came out. I’m so excited to see the next video!
I’m in love with this new series, it’s so unique and educational
+tatisailor So glad you like!
I think it's so good that you do the epilepsy disclaimer at the begin of the video!
+annaross So glad you appreciate! :)
spooky katt well i don’t remember asking bro. guess people will have a seizure then 😳😳😳🥴🥴🥴🥰🥰🥺🥺🥺😎😎😎😎🤥🤥🤥🤥
Mi! You are just phenomenal.
I loooooved this video-
I watch a heck of a lot of beauty videos, but goodness gracious- there’s just something so truly genuine about you. You put your heart and soul into this, girl....but still seem so relatable. Like we could be friends.
Way to go, dear. Way to go.
+nataliecampbell AWW!!!!! Thanks for hanging out with us!! :)
MI + REFINERY29, YOU GUYS MELT MY WHOLE HEART BC YOU ALWAYS REPLY TO MY COMMENTS. BLESS YOUR SWEET SELVES. 😭❤️❤️
Gorgeous - I loved the in-depth look you took into her life and the mindset behind the makeup.
Damn, she did a really good job recreating the look!
Loved this!! I'd love to see Audrey, Jackie O, Edie Sedgwick, or Grace Kelly please :)
Excellent ! I love the fact that you did so much research on Marilyn ! Thank you so much for creating this wonderful documentary and tutorial ! Many blessings !
+cynthiagreer Thanks for watching!! :)
I've seen many people trying to do the Marylin look but because of their facial and bone structure it always looked fake, but on you GIRL you really rock it!
IM SOOO EXCITED ABOUT THIS SERIES. This was an AMAZING start!
+aphro So glad you like!!
the level of research here is so impressive, way to go mi-anne!!
mi-anne! this was my favorite video of yours so far, so educational and inspiring. lovvvve
I loved this video! You looked amazing & this was truly a success. I loved the lower lash tip!
+niab. Thanks for checking it out!
I love this video...the questions the interviewer asks are really deep and well-thought-out. I especially loved when the guest brought up if Marilyn Monroe empowered women or if she makes them sad. Marilyn Monroe's story proves that you could be considered one of the most beautiful women, but you still can have insecurities just like everyone else.
never seen that epilepsy warning before, as an epileptic myself I appreciate it very much! good job!
You killed it Mi-Anne!! Audrey Hepburn next????
This is fantastic! To know you can get products someone as Iconic as Marilyn Monroe was is so cool!
Amazing video!! Jackie O is perfect for this series
Abosolutely loved this! So glad you did this Mi ! ♥️♥️♥️
2:10...Mi-Anne’s skin was glowing! I want this facial. Love Marilyn, great post ❤️...Didn’t they use Max Factor Pan Stick makeup back then?
+nmartin Thanks for checking it out! :)
Cleopatra! Selena!
+kristaarely Love these!!
Selena!!!
Great job Mi! Really liked this video and I appreciate the amount of in-depth research and effort that went behind this video! Killlllin it gurl ❤️
+thememaimo Thanks for noticing!!
This is amazing! I love all the effort you put into this. Great Job!
Really like the style of this video, not just about the routine but digging a bit deeper way to go mi!
I love this video! This is such a good researched piece, looking forward to the next one!
already loving this series
It came out beautifully. I appreciate the care you took to learn more about her beauty and hopefully learned even more about her as a person. While i know some about Norma Jeane and Marilyn, I learned a lot more in the comments section. Thank you all.
Did you apply the liner after lashes because that’s what Marilyn did? Because that seems like it would be way more difficult than doing liner first.
@Refinery29 I love how you presented this video and showed a the woman behind the cameras. beautifully done!!
+chloelumbao Thanks for checking it out!
Mi-Anne!!!! You NAILED the Mamo look!!! You're a true artist! 😍
+charisamartin Thanks for checking it out!
Marilyn loved her peach fuzz! It gave her a soft focus look on camera
That facial looked sooooooo relaxing 😍
yesssss, loved this style of video!! informative and entertaining!! love
Wow! I loved this video!!!! You should make it a series and explore the routines of beauty icons from the past 😘😚😘 I would love that
+laurenfairchild That's the idea! ;)
this was awesome. it was so fascinating to here all the techniques she used that are still used today, and that eyelash trick is awesome.
I love this. Love the brown wing with the false lashes I need to try that !!!!
Would love to see you look into Grace Kelly's, Anna May Wong's or maybe Brigitte Bardot's beauty routine! This video was so cool! 💕
I have been a life long admirer of Marilyn. I like that you took the time for research. I have read more that 12 books about Marilyn. I have traveled day long tours of Marilyn's life and places that she has lived, visited her final place of resting. I like that you mentioned Guerlain and Erno Lazlo. They are my favorites still to date. Marilyn was brilliant, self taught with a high IQ.
Loveeeee the idea!
I appreciate the little details! You really did a great job you were focusing on her infos. 😘
The research and video quality is AMAZING. You guys are setting the bar I love this!! Please do more for other beauty icons, like AUDREY HEPBURN 😍😍
+heathersmith So happy that you're on board!
Love how comprehensive this was, and how it was more than skin deep. Would love to see Natalie Wood or Judy Garland's looks being featured!
+thashnathan Thanks for the suggestions!! :)
This is so cool!! I have never seen a video like this!!! This is so cool. I love refinery29 so much💕
+laylah. That's what we love to hear! Thanks for always watching with us!!
You should watch the Marilyn video Lisa Eldridge did a couple of years back.
Can I just say see looks GORGEOUS. I love her hacks and Mi-Anne sould definitely do this makeup look
Marilyn Monroe is such a beauty icon; A little fascinated with her style!
YESSS THE RESEARCH MADE THIS VIDEO SO ACCURATE AND RESPECTFUL I LOVE IT!!!
+nhutran
omg this was an amazing video! i love marilyn and this just made me love her even more ❤
+palomacalderon Thanks for checking it out!!
I was in an exhibition by Marilyn Monroe. I really saw everything personal she had. Even her face mask, which you showed in the video. The great thing is that I got to know her personality.❤️✨🦋
Elizabeth Taylor! She was blessed with double eyelashes! Or Ava Gardner! Maybe someone from the 1930s like Mae West or Clara Bow?
Awesome!
You have the Marilyn glamour!
This is an awesome and fresh take on a video about Marilyn. Good job 👏🏻
I drew a little portrait of Marilyn last year for my art class and now I have figured out why half of her eye was a bit darker. Must’ve been the iconic half lashes she had on
marilyn liked her peach fuzz because it gave her a glow
WOW - I just noticed the little warning at the start about the flashing lights! I am epileptic, and though I am not that light sensitive, I totally appreciate you putting the warning there! There are some videos sometimes, where I think it would do good to give a warning. Especially those flashy cut effects that a lot of beauty gurus use! Thanks for thinking that far!!! :)
