Marlene's look is very old fashioned but still glamorous, to get it though you may have to go to some extremes -

Firstly you will have to wax off all of your eyebrows, then draw some fine, highly arched ones in. You should draw them quite a bit above where your natural brow would sit.

Her skin looks flawless but quite matted, so first put on some matt foundation then apply a face powder over the top.

To get Marlene's bedroom eyes get a grey eyeshadow and cover your eyelid with it, then get a darker grey and blend it right into the socket bone. Line the top lid with a black eyeliner and apply some large false eyelashes, then finish with some black curling mascara. Keep the bottom lash line totally clean, this will give the illusion of a very big, open eye.

Marlene had very prominent cheekbones to get her look apply a blusher, slightly darker than your natural skin tone right underneath your cheekbone, then get a nice natural colored blusher and brush up and along the bone.

The lips should be lined slightly out of the natural line, then filled in with a dark red lipstick. Finish with a dab of gloss on the centre of the bottom lip.
