To create plumper lips the makeup artist of Marilyn Monroe used to apply up to 5 different shades of lipstick and gloss layered one on top of another to achieve multidimensional result: darker shades of red – on outer corners and lighter shades – in the middle of her lips, he added some highlighter on the cupid’s bow and in the middle of the bottom lip as well. Layered lipstick and gloss on top of it made Marilyn’s lips look amazing and voluptuous.
