Hollywood Glam Tutorial

I've always been intrigued with beauty especially old Hollywood glam looks and Marilyn Monroe fits that profile to a T. The look speaks simplicity but yet elegant with a touch of timeless beauty and grace. It's a true shame that her life was taken prematurely but her image lives forever.


The music I chose for the video is from A-mei. She is my ultimate favorite artist from Taiwan. I can never get tired of her voice and the two songs fit the mood I wanted to set in the video perfectly. Here's the video tutorial:


and my Final Look:


Let me know what you think! =)

    (ok, I tried leaving this comment on youtube, but it doesn't seem to work)

    Great video Mel! So simple, yet elegant. I especially love the hair! I can never get my hot rollers to work right. I either end up looking like Shirley Temple or Tina Turner. I need to invite you over one day for a lesson =)

    Love the fobby music choice haha

"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone." ~ Audrey Hepburn
