Of all the old Hollywood starlets, the woman with the longest lasting effect on pop culture, fashion and beauty is Elizabeth Taylor, whose glamorous and tumultuous life is being brought to life in the new Lifetime original movie Liz & Dick starring Lindsay Lohan as the screen icon. Though Lohan had the help of extremely talented makeup artists to transform her into Liz, getting the look is a cinch if you adhere to a few guidelines.
For starters, it’s all about attitude. If you feel glamorous, you will become glamorous. For Elizabeth Taylor, it was about bushy eyebrows, the thicker and blacker the better and rouged lips. With so many choices on the market for red lips – my favorite being Tom Ford – you can get the look effortlessly no matter your budget. Elizabeth’s sex appeal came from her eyes, which was often zhuzhed to the nines with mascara and kohl liner.
THE CLOTHES
THE JEWELRY
Did Liz love jewelry or did she love jewelry? The woman’s treasure trove of expensive jewels went up for auction after her death and countless celebs and socialites flocked to the room to snatch a piece of her legacy. We can’t all be millionaires but thanks to fast fashion boutiques, we can get statement making jewels without breaking the bank.
