Marilyn studied everything about beauty. From the way she looked, to the way she moved, to the way she spoke. Everything. She had help, but she was a genius and she knew what to do. She knew what worked. She was also a much better actress than she was ever given credit for.

Hey! Great video and thanks for using my work to explain contouring ☺️🙏🏻

I would choose her iconic beauty over any Kardashian, any day. Marilyn was a bombshell💗💗💗 frozen in time.

Of course Marilyn was smart enough to receive lots of help, but many that knew her and worked for her acknowledged that she was the genius behind her iconic image. Whitey Snyder said in an interview "Marilyn was a genius with makeup. She knows tricks that even I didn't know." Also Darryl F. Zanuck, the head of 20th Century Fox said upon her death "no one created Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn created herself." Again, she had lots of help but she knew what she wanted to be and slowly progressed and transformed herself into the otherworldly creature that still exists among us every day. You can take every girl in the world, give them plastic surgery and the best makeup, and they still will never be Marilyn Monroe.

With all due respect, it was her makeup artist, Allan Whitey Snyder, that helped create the Marilyn look. He did her makeup for her first screen test & funeral. Marilyn also had the best in the business in regards to hairdressers and wardrobe stylists. She helped create the Marilyn image but had a lot of help. She truly is an icon.

Marilyn Monroe's makeup artist, Whitey, was the genius behind her 'look'. She had that essence of innocent, yet knowing, sexuality which to this day is like an intoxicant.

The fact she is still Inspiring generation after generation says so much about her impact.
she was absolutely stunning.
A true icon.

I'm so glad that you spoke about MM with such respect for her intelligence and talents. And discussing her makeup was excellent for a well-rounded analysis.

Thank you so much for this. Too many people think Marilyn had no beauty before plastic surgery, as though it was a huge transformation when it really wasn't. So much of the transition to Marilyn Monroe was gradual and lay in studying facial expressions and gestures, hair colour and styles (both ever changing throughout her career), and in many makeup tricks.

Absolutely luminous. Quite literally unique, unlike all the Kardashian clones.

Marilyn was a helluvan actress!! She blew me away in "Don't Bother To Knock"! I know the focus is largely centered on her beauty (she was gorgeous), but her acting talent is so underrated. Just my

As a huge fan of Marilyn i can tell when someone speaks about her with admiration, you did throughout this video, impossible as a plastic surgeon not to acknowledge one of the greatest beauty and style icons of all time. She did have a dream team of very talented people to help her create her iconic image and build her brand, but she was also brilliant and learned every trick to keep herself looking on point. She really did a great job keeping herself glamorous, she was sexy but never vulgar and that's how she remains a timeless classic Hollywood beauty.

What an interesting video
Apart from selecting interesting topics and celebrities, Dr. Motykie is always so tactful yet honest, such a rarity these days. Admirable.

I've read comments from professional photographers who worked with her that she was extremely skillful at posing to her best advantage, and she knew exactly how to do it. Marlene Dietrich had this same talent too.

Supposedly, Rita Hayworth had electrolysis on her hairline, too. Weren't there cases with stars from the silent screen era who underwent surgeries and lost their careers because they were disfigured with the procedures used back then? The history of plastic surgery in Hollywood is so interesting thank you. Enjoyed this very much

Very nicely presented. No silly speculations or made up theories. And it’s really easy to cross the line into conspiracy theories when it comes to Marilyn Monroe.

[a.zamora]

I use to be in denial about her having plastic surgery but after watching a few movies from the beginning of her career then watching others from later on her face really did changed! Very subtle and natural work but she definitely had something done to her chin, and probably nose. It’s amazing what they could do back then.

[MarniMedia]

Excellent video! Loved how you showcased both her surgical procedures and cosmetic techniques to achieve subtle enhancements that created her trademark style. I think that shows how everyone can interpret and portray their own personal beauty in a very accessible way!

Excellent analysis of Monroe’s image. I’m a 65 year old women and have witnessed the transition of makeup trends for decades. Frankly, the layering trend for contemporary looks give a mask-like appearance to women. It’s fine for editorial use; but in person - the application looks obvious…instead of creating the subtle (and glowing) alteration that projected Monroe’s beauty. Had Marilyn lived well into her senior years…I’m certain her advice as a beauty influencer would be to not “gild the lily.”

the problem now is that celebrities when they do plastic surgery they can't stop at the final lot of them are botched
