“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.”
Get the look: Marilyn was famous for her flirtatious nature and had skin that seemed to glow on the big screen. Apparently, her secret was to apply a generous amount of hormone cream in order to have radiant skin in the Hollywood lights. It's not a tip we recommend however!
So, instead of reaching for your nearest hormone treatment, we recommend mixing a pearlescent primer with a liquid foundation to achieve that timeless glow.

“On the whole, I think women wear too much and are too fussy. You can't see the person for all the clutter."
Get the look: Julie Andrews says one of her beauty tips is to take a bottle of water wherever she goes. Taking this on-board, we recommend sticking with the European Food Safety Authority which confirms that women should drink about eight 200ml glasses a day, for radiant complexions and smooth skin.

Get the look: One of the leading sex symbols of her day, the Hollywood actress had a beauty regime that has been repeatedly copied since her days starring in romantic comedies with Bob Hope and Rock Hudson. Gina’s fabulous bone structure was enhanced by her strong eyebrows, easily achieved using a brow pencil. To get the look, we recommend always choosing a colour that best matches your hair colour.

"Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical."
Get the look: The Italian siren took her love of the Mediterranean very seriously and was known to rub a small amount of olive oil into her skin to keep her complexion glossy and moisturised. Despite olive oil being a fabulous natural moisturiser, you can get similar results applying an olive butter cream - without the mess.

“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.”
Get the look: The elegant Academy Award-winning actress Audrey Hepburn, known for her captivating eyes and naturally dark eyelashes, was rumoured to have individually separated every eyelash with a pin! Instead of going through this painstaking beauty regime, we recommend using a false lash mascara that allows you to build coverage for thicker, fuller lashes.

"Cultivate your curves - they may be dangerous but they won't be avoided."
Get the look: Cherished for her beautiful curves and radiant personality, Mae had a unique way of maintaining her assets - by having regular colonic irrigations, which she believed reduced her body of unwanted toxins.
If you don't want to opt for the full colonic treatment, flatter your curves with garments that nip in at the waist, hug your hips and fall loosely over your thighs.

"The problem with beauty is that it's like being born rich and getting poorer."
Get the look: Since she was 20, this glamour puss has always worn sun protection. Keeping out of the sun's harmful rays can help reduce skin ageing and wrinkles. We recommend choosing a sun cream with a high protection factor that's easily absorbed into the skin.

“Big girls need big diamonds.”
Get the look: Elizabeth’s dramatic Hollywood performances were certainly a match to her dramatic makeup looks. Very much like the actress Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth believed in the power of perfume, which is why she created her own range of fragrances for Elizabeth Arden.
However despite the timeless scents of Elizabeth’s fragrances, we have to side with Marilyn and recommend “Chanel No.5, of course”.
