MARILYN MONROE
To make her lips appear fuller, Monroe would have her makeup artist apply five 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.
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.
AUDREY HEPBURN
The secret to Hepburn's long, Bambi lashes? After applying mascara, she'd use a pin to separate each individual lash. Now that's how you get clump-free lashes.
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.
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.
BETTE DAVIS
To this day, we wax poetic about Bette Davis's eyes. She kept them looking bright by applying cucumbers to her lids at night and and using petroleum jelly under the eyes to combat dark circles.
