LIPSTICK: Marilyn Monroe Red Lips



MARILYN MONROE Red Lipstick 

To achieve Marilyn Monroe red lips I use 3 products; a lipstick, lipliner and lip gloss. Marilyn is my makeup muse and I love to re-create her signature seductive red lip. 





LIPLINER


Perfect red lipstick needs a perfect base. I always line and fill in my lips prior to lipstick application with a red lip liner. 

The lip liner I love is NYX Slim Lip Pencil in Plush Red. This is a cool red so it's perfect for a Marilyn Monroe inspired red lip.

LIPSTICK 


The essential product for this Marilyn Monroe inspired lipstick love is the Marilyn Red Lipstick from Ben Nye Makeup company

Ben Nye was a Makeup Artist in the Hollywood film industry. He worked as the 20th Century Fox Makeup Director and worked on over 500 films from 1936 - 1982. Ben Nye worked in the makeup department on 13 of Marilyn Monroe's films including The Seven Year Itch, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, How to Marry a Millionaire, Niagara, Don't Bother to Knock, Monkey Business, All About Eve, Love Nest, We're Not Married, River of No Return, There's No Business Like Show Business, Bus Stop, and Let's Make Love. 

In 1967 Ben Nye retired and created the Ben Nye Makeup company - which specialises in professional makeup for the film industry.

LIP GLOSS 

To create a luscious plump looking lip after lipstick application I like to apply one coat of Perfectly Chic Lip Gloss in Cherish to my top and bottom lip. 

This lipgloss is highly pigmented - it's a gorgeous cherry red colour with a shimmery finish so it's perfect over and red lipstick!

Kate's Lip Glosses are PETA certified cruelty free!

FOUNDATION: Nude by Nature


NUDE BY NATURE 

My everyday makeup routine always includes setting my liquid foundation with a dusting of Nude by Nature Natural Mineral Cover. My shade is Light / Medium during Autumn/Winter and Medium during Spring/Summer. 

Nude by Nature Pressed Mineral Cover is great for touch ups.  This pressed powder includes a mirror and is a great alternative if you don't like using loose mineral powder. 


Nude by Nature

√  Natural Minerals 100% naturally derived 
√  Australian made 
√  Cruelty-Free
√  Beautiful deluxe packaging






Natural Mineral Cover
The feather-light SPF 15 Natural Mineral Cover (15g) formula is build able from a sheer to medium coverage and adapts naturally to skin tones to even out complexion, cover redness and pigmentation, and conceal enlarged pores.  RRP $39.95




I like to apply my Natural Mineral Cover with the Nude by Nature Mineral Brush. 

Suitable for all powder formulas, the short, tightly packed bristles of the Mineral Brush effortlessly deliver just the right amount of formula for a polished flawless finish. It is ergonomically designed for the best control and is made of ultra-soft high quality synthetic fibres. RRP $16.95
