Healthy lifestyle.
Many ingredients commonly used in skin care today were virtually unknown 50 years ago, like antioxidants and peptides, said Charles Denton, CEO of skin-care company Erno Laszlo, but Laszlo, the company's late founder, was an early proponent of lifestyle approaches. He also personally worked with Monroe and Ava Gardner. Clean canvas.
Targeting skin blemishes will mean less makeup -- and less room for error, says Denton. Red lipstick.
"Red lipstick makes you walk a little taller, stand a little straighter and you'll get more attention and compliments," says Karsten. "Why not do it?"
Highlighting instead of contouring.
Contouring makeup that took advantage of staged lighting is clunky and cumbersome for a modern on-the-go lifestyle, says Lori Taylor. The modern version is highlighting (for example, by using bronzer), which adds dimension with just a few strokes here and there. Playing to type. A sultry star
-- she has Eva Mendes, Megan Fox or Jennifer Lopez in mind -- can do Hayworth with a good glow on the skin, Lori Taylor says, while a blonde can do the contrast of pale skin and highly pigmented cosmetics.
"He actively promoted a good diet, the idea of avoiding the sun and getting a good night sleep," Denton explains. "He supported antioxidants that do good when drinking red wine and eating dark chocolate."
Lori Taylor says there is a right shade of red for everyone. Most people can wear a warm red, but you have to try it on, she says. If it doesn't work, move toward something with a little bit more orange. It'll have the same effect but be friendlier to both pale and olive skin tones, she says.
Elizabeth Taylor made candy-apple red her signature, and Hayworth wore the red that really looks like real red. Monroe leaned toward a really rosy pink. A berry-tone fuchsia also turns heads and is easy to wear, especially for daytime, says Zomnir.
Kim Kardashian and Beyonce are masters, she says.
