Curiosities about the look:

1) eyebrows: in the 1950s, the eyebrow’s shape was quite rounded, creating an arch.
they were thicker compared to others past eras.
2) Eyes: if we check carefully a pic of Marilyn, we can notice a sort of shadow under the bottom lash line. It is a fake one, created in order to make the look sexier and glamorous.
3) Marilyn lips were fuller and in the phots we can notice a light color in the mid of the lips to make them look even more fuller
4) Beauty spot complete the look
