Wondering how you can get Marilyn Monroe's signature look of luminous skin, fluttering lashes and bright pout? Well, look no further.

According to L'officiel Magazine, to achieve Monroe's radiant looking skin you should start by prepping your skin with a combination of two parts Chanel Vitalumiere foundation and one part Dior Hydra life BB cream, and blend everything seamlessly to even out and hydrate skin, so it looks dewy.

For a pop of color on the cheeks, use Smash box Blush Rush in Flush, a shimmery, cool pink.

To create the illusion of limpid eyelids use NARS Matte eye shadow in Biarritz, a bone-coloured neutral, then stick close to the lash line and apply a very thin line of YSL Noir Liquid Eyeliner.

Flick out and up at the end, for a subtle cat eye.

To get lashes like Monroe, apply falsies from Shu Uemura and top it off with a sweep of Dior show Mascara, for extra length and an inky black colour.

For even and thicker eye brows, groom your brows with Clinique Superfine Line for brows.

For the lips, create a base to get deeper, longer-lasting colour and then outline and fill in your lips with MAC Redd.

Slick on MAC Russian Red and for a pronounced pout apply Chanel Levres Scintillantes gloss in Sparkle D'Or to the centre of the lower lip.
