How Redheads Can Fake Thick, Long Eyelashes Like Marilyn Monroe

Updated: September 12, 2023

Miss Marilyn Monroe is known for her sexy, sultry makeup. One of her classic tricks was to use a neutral taupe-colored eyeshadow to extend the lower lash line and accentuate it with a white eye pencil. This practice made it look like her lashes were so long they left a shadow on the lower lash line.

So, how do you get the look? Pick a neutral taupe-colored eyeshadow and extend the lower lash line. Then, go over the eyeshadow with a white eye pencil. This creates the illusion of a shadow, especially in photos. Watch redhead beauty TikToker Sophie Anderson recreate the look and see for yourself, her video has over 1 million views so it’s safe to say we’re intrigued. By the way, have you heard Marilyn Monroe was in fact born a redhead? Check it all out here.
