Chignon

January 30, 2021 by igetakickoutofyou

Immortalised by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, I was reminded of the Chignon while sorting through my books and finding this gorgeous image in Jerry Schatzberg’s Paris 1962. Perfect!

Never mind the couture at Chanel what about those lashes? Weren’t they fantastic? Couldn’t resist putting pen to paper!

Pattie Boyd vs Edie Campbell

June 27, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

Lisa Eldridge, the lady behind Marilyn’s Makeup Secrets, did a fantastic shoot for Lula Magazine with Edie Campbell, recreating a 1960’s “How to..” beauty feature with Pattie Boyd. Lisa writes in her blog: Gorgeous Edie Campbell was just perfect for this shoot. As well as bearing a resemblance to Pattie, her face takes 60’s make-up so damn well! Lula has always been one of my favourite magazines as I just love everything about it. Its SO girly and beautiful and […]

Marilyn’s Makeup Secrets – Part 1 The Private Collection

May 23, 2012 by igetakickoutofyou

I’ve always been slightly obsessed with Marilyn’s makeup. She was no chameleon – she was the champion of her own look. Honed for years under the guidance of a man called “Whitey”. “You don’t just wake up in the morning and wash your face and comb your hair and go out in the street and look like Marilyn Monroe. She knows every trick of the beauty trade”. Milton Greene “Whitey” Snyder started to do Marilyn’s makeup in 1948, for her […]
