Beauty Secrets From Old Hollywood’s Most Glamorous Women

We still admire the simplistic elegance of the likes of Grace Kelly and continue to try to recreate the retro glamour of Marilyn Monroe with beauties like Vivien Leigh leading the pack! There’s definitely something to be said for the fact that we’re still obsessed with these classic beauties.
Click through to see the fascinating beauty secrets and shocking tricks these goddesses from the old Hollywood era used to swear by.

Marilyn Monroe
To make her lips appear fuller, Monroe would have her makeup artist apply 5 different shades of lipstick and gloss to create dimension. Darker reds went on the outer corners, while lighter hues were brushed on the middle of the lips.

 

 Sophia Loren
Loren followed a Mediterranean diet religiously, which meant she always had a bottle of olive oil at arm’s length. She kept her skin soft and luminous by soaking in a hot bath with a few splashes of oil.

 

Grace Kelly
Contrary to popular belief, contouring is not a new technique, nor was it invented by Kim Kardashian. The Princess of Monaco used blush to define her cheekbones, with one shade for underneath her cheekbones, and a slightly darker shade dusted on the apples.

 

 Elizabeth Taylor
Liz Taylor took a page out of Cleopatra’s book, as both women made a habit of shaving their face. It may sound funny, but it removes the fine baby hairs and the surface layer of skin cells, which gives the skin a facial-like glow.

After all, there are plenty of mens clothes that come in this most delicate of hues. Fashion has long been known to portray pink in lace, flowers and granny knit cardigans and has very often forgotten how strong, bold and edgy it could be. Thinking slightly outside the box, here are my favorite ways to wear pink without looking too girly:
