Behind Ana de Armas's Transformation Into Marilyn Monroe For "Blonde"

Kerwin also redrew de Armas's lip shape to make it a bit more round and plump, just like Monroe's. She used a variety of lipsticks and liners to get the bright cherry-red lip color just right. Because the movie alternates between shooting in color and black and white, Kerwin had to change the lip color frequently to keep the look consistent. The team used everything from Guerlain to Julie Hewitt and Chanel, but one red lipstick they leaned on was Charlotte Tilbury's Kissing Lipstick in So Red ($34), which was previously aptly named So Marilyn.
