Marilyn Monroe's Actual Makeup!

I am an antique dealer, and have always had mixed feelings about private people's personal possessions coming up as auction items, but seeing your love for Marilyn and how much her makeup inspires you, it seems clear to me that collectors like you are the perfect people to be the caretaker's of an icon's belongings. There's so much potential for exploitative behaviour and avarice out there, it always seemed important to be that these things were cherished, and it's so rare and lovely to see that in the antique world.

[@erinparsonsmakeup]

I collect vintage makeup so it all belonged to someone somewhere. I also wear vintage clothes. I guess everything, the antiques you deal, probably belonged to someone who has now passed, perhaps just less well known. I feel we should appreciate history - it’s great what you do because you put something beautiful in the hands of someone that will appreciate it like you do, like the previous owner did. I do feel precious about all the items I have but Ofcourse Marilyn has a huge special place in my psyche ☺️

[@natalie8212]

​@Erin Parsons Makeup As a fellow lifelong lover of vintage items, yes, some people feel strange about purchasing things that belonged to a now deceased person... I stick by the sentiment that it is honoring and giving new life and love to something special. It wouldn't be available to buy if a family member wanted it. I have jewelry, clothing, furniture, etc, all saved from landfills because I saw the same special aspect the original owners most likely did, thus creating a connection to the past and keeping their treasures safe and loved. One of my favorite finds is a handmade leopard print coat that came with matching bellbottoms! I just miss 90's thrift store prices!

[@Call-me-Al]

The creeps that bought burial plots at her grave were incredibly horrible. People like Erin can be too starstruck sometimes but not in a bad way, and definitely are good guardians for objects like these.

[@oakmaiden2133]

I get a lil sad when I see family photos in shops. At least these items of Marlyns’ are treasured.

[@SouthernBelleReviews]

I'm an antique dealer as well and I feel the exact same way as the original poster. 🎉

[@sandydog426]

It's sweet that you appreciate the human side of Marilyn. I always got the feeling she was quite lonely in life.

[@erinparsonsmakeup]

I have read that many times 😢

[@marysoares8336]

She probably felt lonely & misunderstood a lot, having such a difficult childhood & then probably having to deal with slimy producers & jealous actresses plus apparently having some degree of bipolar disorder - you add all that up & you possibly had a woman with a lot of anxiety & loneliness, at the very least. Her beauty routine was probably one thing that felt like a suit of armor for her tho', thank goodness! Rest in Eternal Peace, NJ. We love you.

[@HaywoodJablomi_420]

She was lonely. They have a book that is 100% her tapes she would send to her therapist turned into a book. She was very much in her head a lot.

As opposed to buying an iconic dress ALTERING it and wearing it for some random red carpet thing??? I hope Erin gets all her stuff....someone like Erin is who deserves to own this especially since the personal objects were clearly loved by the original owner

​@@teewallace2112 Kartrashian borrowed the dress, and returned it with seams split and some of the crystals had fallen off.

I watched your first Marilyn video like 10 times at this point because it was so fun and interesting. 💖 I've been watching KZbin for almost 15 years now and have witnessed the rise and fall of the beauty guru era.

I love your videos and as a vintage make up & history buff, I just love seeing someone sharing the passion I have. 💕 I was an aspiring MUA but life took a different turn for me and I gave that up.

I could listen to you for hours! I love the passionate and intelligent way you talk about beauty, make up and your life. Thank U so much!

[@gabriellaberglund3651]

Would love to see you try to find or recreate shadows close to those green and violet lavender ones! The lavender looks so pretty on her 💕

[@erinparsonsmakeup]

I really hope I can create her exact matches of the used products. How fun to have those colors! And the shadows work so well with the lipstick colors she used 😊

[@tamaratoday6235]

Your enthusiasm really shines, Erin. I can tell how thrilled you are with the items you won. I would’ve wanted that sparkling white lipstick near the beginning and that minty green eyeshadow!

[@erinparsonsmakeup]

I still want them too 😂 my budget went so far over so quickly 😅

[@AKbaby89]

I have Endometriosis, and Marilyn did too, so shes had a special place in my heart for a long time now. It wouldve been so cool to have met her

[@greeneyedsoutherngirl6468]

Same here, and I had one pregnancy I lost at 16 weeks…😢🩷

[@oliviadorothy]

Erin, you’re so amazing. I would love to come see the items you got in a museum! It would be a dream come true. Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@michelejordan4115]

THANK GAWD! A new video! I looooooooooooove your videos! I suffer from severe depression and your videos have brought me out of it. I’m trying make up again and trying to use rollers on my hair, trying to dress instead of staying in bed in pajamas, etc. You have no idea how much you reach people with your videos.

[@susanparker1374]

Awww, makes me sad to read this.

[@susanparker1374]

I hope you feel better real soon.

[@marilynhernandez9959]

Gosh I love this so much. I have been a super fan of Marilyn since I was little, likely because I was named after her. As a young adult (19), I became a makeup artist and I have studied her makeup inside and out just like you. I began collecting vintage makeup about 10 years ago. Since I know I could never afford anything in Marilyn’s collection, I search for items that were in her kit. That’s the closest I’ll ever get. It is fascinating to watch this video and see things up close and see someone so deserving, own pieces that were once hers. I love that real people are given the opportunity to have a little piece of her.

[@becxification]

I love how much respect you have for these historical artefacts, the way you explore the story behind Marilyn Monroe and the other bygone silver screen stars you cover in your videos, your attention to detail, and accuracy of the facts you are telling us ❤️🥰👌

[@meowcenary21]

I also grew up resonating with Norma Jean, as we both had pretty tough childhoods and abuse. Her strength, creativity, and glamour were always so inspiring. Im 40 and my powder room is adorned with old images of Marilyn and other starlets. The respect and care you give her is so amazing- please keep doing what you're doing Erin 🖤🖤🖤

[@molly_dudgeon]

Can you do a book tour of all of your makeup books you own, or at least your top faves since you have so many ❤️

[@erinparsonsmakeup]

That’s such a great idea! Adding to my list ❤ this could be an easy one to do so I can get it out soon 😊

[@molly_dudgeon]

@@erinparsonsmakeup Thank you!! 😘

[@Rubyroo0725]

This was an endlessly fascinating journey into Marilyn's life. She was such an iconic figure and I loved her movies. It was interesting to see what she liked to use, the colors and brands. The fact that there was a hair in the box was super exciting, and I wasn't even there. Marilyn is eternal, dying so young, a tragic life unfulfilled. You are helping to keep her alive so to speak, for a new and future generations so thanks for that.

[@Itubersays]

One day hope to buy your vintage inspired line of makeup. We can live vicariously through you! I only wonder what makeup products she used during the Niagara and gentlemen prefer blondes era- that was a different Marilyn than the 60s Marilyn.

[@erinparsonsmakeup]

Totally! I may have the answers to that 😅 I’d love to make a Marilyn collection, and especially affordable. I’m working on something fun - I hope it pans out. Would be amazing to match her colors exactly without the need for ever touching or swatching the items ❤

[@stephpavone]

I’d LOVE a vintage replica collection from Erin! 🙏💄💋

[@natalie8212]

What a treasure this insight was! I could watch a feature length movie of you discussing your discovery of Marilyn, her impact and how she helped shape your career. I especially appreciate that you don't treat her legacy as a commodity and really focus on her as a human being, a woman who faced plenty of adversity and hardships. Her story is fascinating and far too many want too associate themselves for nefarious self promoting reasons. With you, its clear the admiration and respect are real. You are without a doubt the most deserving person to own these treasures. Lovely inside and out, I thank you for sharing your fascinating journey with us. ❤🩷💜

[@mermaidnott9713]

Ripleys needs to hand over everything they have of Marilyn Monroe’s to her. She would never let someone like Kim ruin her clothing.

[@disneydame7850]

Love how much you care for her products. This reminds me of when my grandfather who is an art dealer owned an antique shop he had a Marilyn Monroe photograph, I wanted to get it ( I couldn’t afford it at that time) but he sold it. I remember I was so fascinated by it. He also had bought other items at an auction that belonged to legends, to see it in person is overwhelming!

[@JojoRabbit310]

aah, so lovely to see this! very cool seeing all the products she used and i'm glad these products went to you because you've so much knowledge, appreciation and to top it off - the money will go to charity. Marilyn would be proud! 😁thank you for sharing with all of us, Marilyn fans 💖

[@erinparsonsmakeup]

It’s been a lot more work to make all this happen but I’m determined to have it open next year - I truly think she would have approved of this too😊

[@TSfan90]

I'm not a makeup person, as in like I wear makeup. However, I'm very intrigued by the beauty industry and always amazed when I see someone like yourself take makeup and show your love, and true artistry of and for it. I've been following you for a tiny bit now since I came across your channel. And I think the way you talk about makeup and beauty in general, and how to you it's not just a casual hobby. But, your true love and admiration and respectfulness of it is amazing. Because even in the case of how you talked about Marilyn Monroe, I feel I got from you it's not about having her makeup so you can use it..but how you truly admired her, and how makeup was a big part of her looks. And you wanna preserve her image and the legacy of the makeup, instead of just tarnishing it and I think that's something to be extremely admired. And I loved your collection video (which is how I came across you awhile back. An algorithm recommended your channel so I had to explore).

[@SouthernBelleReviews]

I have extreme respect for Marilyn (Norma Jean). In personality and in our personal tragedies we are extremely similar. I connect with her. ❤

[@missglitter21]

Erin, I adored this video! Thank you for sharing with us. Also can we get a jewelry video? I love seeing all your fun accessories. These earrings are to die for

[@abdulrhmanadelsalam]

The only channel i watch without skipping so much in the video, every minute of your videos is so interesting and saturated with information! Thank you for your hard work ❤️

[@erinparsonsmakeup]

That means a lot to me! Thankyou 🤗

[@FaithfulDreamy]

Can’t wait for you to make your own makeup brand !!! If anyone could do it is YOU !! You have the passion and knowledge and that to me is everything very inspiring!

[@Maturleyglam]

My mom used the same Elizabeth arden eyeshadow sticks. I used to sneak and use them! Your such an amazing lady!!

[@MrsPix20]

You're excitment is contagious!💕 Thank you for showing all of the pictures! The packaging is so gorgeous 🥰 Also, I love that you found photos of her possibly using the products and also the selections from her sister's book that talk about her makeup use. You are so thorough and truly a makeup historian!

[@_PinkxCherry_]

I watch this video a lot because it’s so fascinating to know someone owns this actual history of someone who lived so long ago but is still so relevant today I really hope you make video specifically on showing Marilyn’s makeup you won up close I would love to see that! I love how you humanize Marilyn and make it known that she was a real person with real feelings and again I’m glad you get to own some of her makeup you’re so lucky please make more videos on this❤

[@beige_ricaforte]

your passion is infecting me! it's inspiring. Thank you for putting out longer videos! I enjoy all of it!
