Marilyn Monroe Inspired


After writing my Marilyn Monroe MAC post, I was totally inspired to have a play with my makeup.
The next evening was Date Night for Graeme and I as it was his Birthday. We were going out for dinner, just the two of us, so it was the perfect opportunity to glam up a little.

I know I’m not a patch on Marilyn but this is the best I could do!......
