Modern Marilyn: A Makeup Tutorial at the National Portrait Gallery

I was recently invited by the National Portrait Gallery to help celebrate their landmark exhibition, Marilyn Monroe: A Portrait. Not only did I get to explore this incredible exhibition after-hours, but I also had the rare opportunity to create a full makeup look inside the gallery itself, inspired by one of my all-time favourite Marilyn Monroe images on display. Featuring the beautiful Olivia Ancell, this Marilyn Monroe-inspired makeup tutorial is one you won't want to miss. I hope you love it as much as I loved making it!
