Fascinating Information About Legendary Marilyn Monroe's Life


Fact – 10


Marilyn also launched the trend of brilliant crimson lipstick. Red lips continue to be classic even now.
Marilyn's impact on beauty standards went much beyond her blonde hair to include her trademark red lips, which became a staple of the traditional Hollywood glitz. Max Factor himself personally created the particular hue she wore after months of honing the ideal red to go with her fair complexion and platinum blonde hair. Combining five distinct red lipstick colors, the recipe produced what would become known as "Monroe Red." This was not simply red; it was a precisely calculated mix that accentuated her natural pout and gave her bigger lips. Allan "Whitey" Snyder, her makeup artist, would apply her lipstick almost an hour using five layers of varying red tones to add depth and complexity. This strategy transformed lip color application methods used by makeup professionals. This hallmark look had such influence that it set off a revolution in the cosmetics business as businesses hurried to produce their own iterations of Marilyn's ideal red. When introducing new products today, makeup companies still draw on Marilyn's iconic red lip, and the look continues to be a symbol of traditional sophistication and glamor.
