Hollywood icons like Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor had plenty of makeup and skincare tricks that are worth adding to your beauty regimen

From a classic red lip to DIY skincare, we have Old Hollywood&nbsp;stars to thank for a number of beauty tips, tricks&nbsp;and techniques. Their undeniable glamour and elegance&nbsp;will always be venerated &mdash; and emulated &mdash; making them&nbsp;models of timeless beauty. From the vanities of Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and more, L&#39;Officiel uncovers five&nbsp;tried-and-true beauty secrets from these film icons.

Over the years, the heavy contour, strobe&nbsp;and bake routine has gained popularity, but the face-shaping technique began with a lighter hand. <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/from-grace-kelly-to-elle-fanning-the-best-moments-on-the-cannes-red-carpet">Grace Kelly</a> chose to contour using blush alone, applying a darker shade underneath her cheekbones and a lighter&nbsp;one on the apples of her cheeks. Meanwhile, Old Hollywood actress Carole Lombard would draw a straight line of white eyeliner down the bridge of her nose, adding a subtle&nbsp;highlight and making&nbsp;it appear straighter.

Subtle Contour

<a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/remembering-marilyn-monroe-fashion-legacy%20">Marilyn Monroe</a>&#39;s full&nbsp;red pout is arguably one of the most recognisable beauty looks of the time (and of all time). Her makeup artist reportedly used five different shades of lipstick &mdash; darker around the edges and lighter in the centre &mdash; to achieve greater dimension.

Lip Focus

Whether creating a sharp flick of cat-eye liner or ensuring that mascara doesn&#39;t clump, makeup application&nbsp;requires a precise hand. <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/Culture/the-13-most-iconic-accessories-in-the-history-of-cinema">Audrey Hepburn</a>&#39;s&nbsp;makeup artist was known to painstakingly use&nbsp;a pin to separate each individual lash after applying mascara in order&nbsp;to achieve the star&#39;s signature doe-eyed look.

Attention to Detail

Hollywood actresses&rsquo; youthful complexions were secured without the social media filters we have today. To achieve her flawless complexion, Elizabeth Taylor regularly shaved her face&nbsp;to remove baby hairs, while&nbsp;Monroe opted to keep her light peach fuzz intact to create a soft glow on camera.

Smooth Skin

If your go-to moisturisers just aren&rsquo;t cutting it anymore, look no further than your kitchen pantry. Mae West&nbsp;attributed her youthful glow to coconut oil, while Sophia Loren was partial to olive oil&nbsp;baths.
