Beauty secrets from Hollywood’s leading ladies, including Marilyn, Audrey, Grace
From Marilyn Monroe to Sophia Loren, we reveal the beauty secrets behind some of Hollywood’s most famous ladies.
Marilyn Monroe
To make her lips appear full, Monroe (or at least her make-up artist) would apply at least give different shades of lipstick and gloss to create her lush lips.
Audrey Hepburn
We’ve always been envious of Hepburn long lashes and her secret has been finally revealed: after applying mascara, she would use a pin to painstakingly separate each lash.
Grace Kelly
Long before “contouring” became a beauty trend in the millennium, the Princess of Monaco had mastered technique to define her cheekbones. She would use a light shade of blush underneath her cheekbones and a darker shade on the apples.
Rita Hayworth
To maintain her signature wavy mane, Hayworth would apply oil to her hair after every wash. She would then wash it with hot water and lemon juice to remove any residue.
Sophia Loren
This beauty would keep her skin looking luminous by taking frequent hot baths with splashes of olive oil.
