Could You Get Through Marilyn Monroe's Beauty Routine?

It's packed with some fascinating stuff!

Pssst! We also got some additional information for this quiz from <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/9141077/Marilyn-Monroe-The-star-with-marbles-in-her-bra.html" target="_blank">here</a>.

Marilyn says, "It is a simple bust-firming routine which consists of lifting five-pound weights from a spread-eagle arm position to a point directly above my head. I do this 15 times, slowly. I repeat the exercise another 15 times from a position with my arms above my head. Then, with my arms at a 45-degree angle from the floor, I move my weights in circles until I'm tired. I don't count rhythmically like the exercise people on the radio; I couldn't stand exercise if I had to feel regimented about it."

It's a bust-firming routine!

What’s the first thing you do in the morning after brushing your teeth and washing your face?

Marilyn says, "I start warming a cup of milk on the hot plate I keep in my hotel room. When it's hot, I break two raw eggs into the milk, whip them up with a fork, and drink them while I'm dressing. I supplement this with a multivitamin pill, and I doubt if any doctor could recommend a more nourishing breakfast for a working girl in a hurry."

It's a cup of WARM milk with RAW eggs!

Time for breakfast! What are you having this morning?

Monroe expert Gene London says, "Her pout was created with five different varieties of lipstick and gloss: darker reds on the outer corners, lighter shades in the middle to lend dimension, with a highlighted cupid’s bow and bottom lip."

It's 5!

How many lipsticks and glosses does it take to achieve that iconic red lip?

London says, "Further contour tricks were used to shape her nose, sharpen her cheekbones, make her eyes look more deep-set, arch her brows, and emphasize her heart-shaped face."

It's all of the above!

What areas of your face do you contour with creams, foundations, and powders?

London says, "She had the heaviest peach fuzz beard of any actress in Hollywood. They [studio chiefs] wanted to remove the facial hair, but Marilyn absolutely refused. She said that when the light hit the fuzz it caused her face to have a soft glow, so they didn’t have to photograph her through special lenses, lace, or Vaseline the way they did with so many stars."

It's facial waxing!

Which of these beauty or style trends do you absolutely hate?

London says, "Marilyn took to placing marbles in her bras, or she’d take three buttons … and sew the buttons together and place those inside her dress."

It's marbles and buttons!

What's your secret trick for making it look like your nipples are always perky and erect?

Marilyn says, "My dinners at home are startlingly simple. Every night I stop at the market near my hotel and pick up a steak, lamb chops or some liver, which I broil in the electric oven in my room. I usually eat four or five raw carrots with my meat, and that is all. I must be part rabbit; I never get bored with raw carrots."

It's lamb chops or liver!

Time for dinner! What are you having?

Marilyn says, "I have developed the habit of stopping off at Wil Wright's ice cream parlor for a hot fudge sundae on my way home from my evening drama classes. I'm sure that I couldn't allow myself this indulgence were it not that my normal diet is composed almost totally of protein foods."

It's a hot fudge sundae!

Do you ever indulge in dessert?

Marilyn says, "Depending upon my activities, I sleep between five and ten hours every night. I sleep in an extra-wide single bed, and I use only one heavy down comforter over me, summer or winter."

It's between 5 and 10 hours!

How many hours of sleep do you get per night?

Marilyn says, "I have never been able to wear pajamas or creepy nightgowns; they disturb my sleep.”

It's none of the above!

And finally, before climbing into bed, what do you change into?

Yikes! You failed. But don't be too hard on yourself! Some of those answers were pretty interesting. Being fabulous is a lot of hard work!

You passed! You're an expert when it comes to beauty. Marilyn would be proud!
