While some beauty trends come and go, the blonde bombshell Hollywood siren who went by the name of Marylin Monroe created a look to last forever. Max Factor have this season given the iconic look the credit it deserves, by calling on top model Candice Swanepoel to recreate it.
Looking immaculate in the beauty campaign, the 26-year-old Victoria's Secret model shows off a ruby red pout, complimented in the style of Marilyn with dramatically lined eyes framed with long, thick lashes.
Using Candice as her muse, Max Factor's creative director, Pat McGrath, recreated the look with one of Monroe's signature lipstick shades, Ruby Tuesday.

Pat McGrath's tips to recreate the look:
1. Apply Facefinity All Day Flawless Foundation with a brush around the T zone, and use the warmth of your fingertips to smooth the foundation into the face. Use a smaller brush to layer up and perfect any imperfections
2. Apply Max Factor Excess Intensity Eyeliner in black at the top lash line and subtly winged at the outer corner
3. Exaggerate lashes with two coats of False Lash Effect Mascara, combing through from root to tip of the lashes to instantly separate and build volume
4. Frame eyes with high, elegantly arched brows like Marilyn's, using Max Factor Eyebrow Pencil in Hazel
5. Kick start siren red lips by outlining the lips using Max Factor Colour Elixir Lip Liner in Red Rush
6. Follow up with Max Factor Colour Elixir Lipstick in Ruby Tuesday applied over the lip line, across the lips and also on the inner parts. Finish with a slick of Colour Elixir Gloss in Polished Fuschia to emphasise the idea of high octane glamour
