These divas knew how to shine both in life and on the screen. There is a lot to learn from them.
Audrey Hepburn
Audrey Hepburn knew that initially clear skin is better than any foundation. The actress did steam baths for her face twice a week. The pores opened and she could remove the dirt. With such a vigilant approach, harsh mechanical cleaning is rarely needed - it is enough to walk over the skin with a cotton pad moistened with lotion.
With a height of 170 cm, Audrey weighed no more than 45 kilograms all her life. Some biographers ascribe to her an eating disorder, but those who knew the star of "Roman Holiday" personally, assure that there was no such thing. The actress enjoyed eating pasta, for example. But I never mixed proteins with carbohydrates. She began to advocate for separate nutrition long before it became fashionable.
Grace Kelly
The pioneer of contouring was not Kim Kardashian at all, but Grace Kelly. The Princess of Monaco and Hitchcock's beloved woman, however, was fond of playing with light and shadow with much less zeal. In makeup, Grace preferred naturalness (she could not find a photo with bright shadows), but slyly emphasized her merits. Blush on the cheekbones, and under them the powder is slightly darker than the natural skin tone. As a result, not only the Hollywood hills, but the whole world fell at the feet of Grace (read - perfectly contoured face).
Another secret is hands. Kelly was convinced that the hands were the first to tell a woman's age. Therefore, she looked after them even more thoroughly than the skin of her face. She carried a tube of cream with her always and everywhere, whether it was a family picnic by the sea or an official reception.
Elizabeth Taylor
After Joseph Leo Markovich's film Cleopatra was released in 1963, Elizabeth Taylor, who played the main role, became the sex symbol of an entire era. In real life, the actress also followed the precepts of her character and is said to have taken a hot bath with warm milk, which made her skin incredibly soft.
In addition, the actress mastered the technique of facial massage, with which she ended her every day. It is not surprising that she did not lose the title of one of the most beautiful women of her time even after 50.
Sophia Loren
What do Italians always have in abundance? That's right, olive oil. So the native of Rome Sophia Loren does not part with him - she knows that no cream can be compared with this gift of nature. Sophie's oil is used for everything: to moisturize the face, body, hair and nails. It still looks stunning, so this secret of hers is definitely worth taking into account.
Rita Hayworth
American actress and dancer Rita Hayworth also loved olive oil, not only in combination with pasta and salad. Known for her gorgeous hair, Rita paid special attention to caring for them - she did masks 3-4 times a week. I applied olive oil to dry hair along the entire length for 15-20 minutes. At that time, protective styling sprays and other beauty joys did not yet exist, and the actress was almost always with a Hollywood wave that does not spare curls. But the hair still shone and conquered with its density and strength - the main proof that the beauty hack of the star really works.
Marilyn Monroe
How many men Marilyn Monroe dreamed of at night - do not count. And it is understandable: Marilyn not only had amazing charm, but also looked great. At the same time, the secrets of her beauty were extremely simple. Every morning, the star rubbed her face with chamomile infusion to get rid of edema and tone the skin. And so that wrinkles did not appear ahead of time, Marilyn hid behind dark glasses not only from the paparazzi, but also from the sun. I knew that you can't expect good from UV rays.
Vivien Leigh
Scarlett O'Hara of all times and peoples was unhappy with her lips - she considered them too thin. At that time they did not know how to correct the shape and volume with hyaluronic acid, so Vivienne used a proven tool - a pencil, with which she boldly went beyond the contour. The trick has not lost its relevance, it is still used by many famous makeup artists.
Gloria Swenson
Silent movie star Gloria Swenson believed that only what you can eat should be applied to the skin. So almost every night, the actress made herself masks from fresh vegetables. Cucumbers and celery went not only on the cheeks and under the eyes, but also in the diet. Swenson tried to eat as many of them as possible - and she did the right thing!
