HAIR AND MAKEUP
A PHOTOSHOP APPLICATION OF MAKEUP FOR PRELIMINARY TESTS BY BRANDON HEIDRICK.
MARILYN HAD A NATURALLY ATTRACTIVE FACE BUT IT WAS HER ARTISTIC MAKEUP TECHNIQUES THAT TRANSFORMED HER INTO THE ALLURING SEX SYMBOL OF ALL TIME. IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT YOU WOULD NOT EVEN RECOGNIZE HER ON THE STREET WITHOUT MAKEUP. WEARING AN OVERCOAT, FLAT SHOES AND A SCARF, SHE COULD EASILY DISAPPEAR IN A CROWD. BY 1962, HER NATURAL HAIR COLOR OF LIGHT BROWN HAD EVOLVED FROM OVER A DECADE OF BLONDE SHADES, INTO THE PALEST OF PEARL PLATINUM. HER BRAND OF GLAMOUR WAS STYLIZED AND SOPHISTICATED, REQUIRING CONSIDERABLE COSMETOLOGY. MAKEUP AND HAIR THEN BECAME ELEMENTS OF FOCUS THAT WOULD BRING THE STATUE TO A BETTER LIKENESS. HUMAN HAIR WAS USED TO ENABLE THE SEVERAL SESSIONS OF TONING REQUIRED TO RECREATE THE "SPUN LIGHT" HUE. THE HAIRLINE AND EYEBROW HAIRS ALONG WITH UPPER AND LOWER LASHES, COMPLETED THE EFFECT.
