Marilyn Monroe – glamour goals.

The Hollywood actress had such a beautiful sheen to her skin and apparently, she relied on one product in particular.

Preferring a luminous finish to her eye make-up rather than a matte look, Marilyn was a Vaseline fan.

According to Marie Claire, Marilyn’s make-up artist, Whitey Snyder, used a dab of Vaseline to give a sheen to her eyeshadow.

The key is to only use a tiny blob of the cult product and then lightly blend it with the eyeshadow to open up the eyes.

This has the added effect of making you look more awake, which is fantastic when you’re absolutely wrecked.

Perfection.
