Cop the Marilyn Monroe Look Like Chloë Grace Moretz | Lifestyle.INQ

Marilyn Monroe continues to excite and inspire our beauty looks. To say that her old-school glamor is iconic is already cliché. What else would you call it, however, as it’s a Halloween favorite and a peg for high-fashion shoots every now and again?

Kendall Jenner copped the look for her recent Love Magazine shoot. On our feeds recently, Chloë Grace Moretz presented her own version. What’s nice about Chloë’s take is how it’s fresh and updated to suit our current trend. It’s not the usual bold red lips and sharp cat eye combo. She kept the elements still there for that distinct Marilyn look but also made it wearable for us commoners.

If you want to channel Marilyn ala Chloë, here’s what you need.

Since the look focuses on natural but polished and clear skin, go for a foundation that offers a dewy coverage. There wasn’t much highlighting nor contouring in Marilyn’s day.  We suggest the NARS Sheer Glow Foundation. NARS. Available at Bonifacio Central Square.

Leave behind those Instagram brows. Those are too intense for this. Chloë’s look adapts a younger and softer appeal as her brows are brushed and barely filled in. For this, use something like the Mirenesse 24 Hr Brow Lift & Shape Mascara that can hold your hairs in place but also add a tint to them to make them look full. Mirenesse. Available via Sephora PH.

Put aside the pigmented red lip, this look goes for a sheer touch of pink. Be careful: Don’t choose something that’s too blue in undertone or something with a frosted finish. What you want is a glossy, barely-there stain. Reach for the Dior Addict Lip Glow Color Reviver Balm in Pink, which will also hydrate the lips. Dior. Available at SM Makati.

I’m starting to believe this look is too easy. Put down the eyeshadow and the blending brushes for this one but do keep the eyeliner. Choose a pen type liner like the Laura Mercier Instant Ink Long Lasting Eyeliner so you can easily draw a thin line to make the eyes bigger. End the line with the smallest wing possible. Remember, it’s sexier to be subtle. Laura Mercier. Available at Rustan’s The Beauty Source, Glorietta 4.

You don’t have to dye your hair blond but keep in mind that the tousled yet still in place hair style is crucial. After styling your hair, make sure your locks stay in place, even after you step on a grate (hehe) with the Bedhead Tigi Rockaholic Fun Times Flexible Hairspray. Bedhead Tigi. Available via Beauty MNL.
