Legendary Ladies: How to Get Dorothy Dandridge's and Marilyn Monroe's Makeup Look

Vintage Glamour Icons: Dorothy Dandridge and Marilyn Monroe

I received a pitch for vintage glamour icon, Marilyn Monroe. Six days ago, on August 4, marked the 47th anniversary of her death.

As you might have read, Marilyn Monroe and Dorothy Dandridge were good friends. Myra Panache, editor and founder of the Panache Report, wrote that "after Dandridge would finish performing with the Desi Arnez band in Hollywood, she would call Monroe. They would talk for hours about their careers, problems with men and racism in Hollywood. Dandridge, Monroe and Ava Gardner often went to parties together."

Panache added, "Monroe never tried to hide her friendship with Dandridge. Since it was so unpopular for white to have black friends during those segregated times, white media outlets refused to report on their friendship, even if they were peers in the same field.

Lena Horne dubbed Dorothy Dandridge "our Black Marilyn Monroe." This year, on September 8, will mark the 44th anniversary of Dorothy Dandridge's death. So in honor of the friendship that these two vintage glamour icons, let's talk about how to get their flawless skin, bedroom eyes, and perfect pout.

You want to be legendary too, right?

Vixen, Validated: How to Get Eve's Sheer Red Lips at Vogue's 1st Anniversary Party For 3.1 Phillips Lim

I know what lipcolor I'll be wearing tomorrow! A sheer, glossy red lip, thanks to Eve.

First of all, I am so glad that Eve has decided to ditch the braid....I wasn't really feeling the lopsided cut either. Even though her newest coif competes with her dress, I think the honey blonde shade compliments her skin tone beautifully. I think she does look a little tired though. I guess it's been a little hard lately but I know Eve will make it through! Now let's focus on recreating that sheer lip, shall we?

First product that comes to mind is Dior Addict Ultra Gloss Reflect Draped Burgundy but I know not everyone fancies hitting up Sephora for a $30 lip gloss so here's a few options:


Johnson's Baby x BVB

Johnson's Baby Care Council Badge

Sephora + Pantone Universe Tangerine Tango Collection
