Marilyn Monroe Lookalike Demonstrates ‘Weird’ Lipstick Application From 80 Years Ago

Women have worn makeup for centuries, and red lipstick has been a staple for several decades. A Marilyn Monroe lookalike and beauty influencer named Jasmine Chiswell found a bizarre lipstick applicator tool from 80 years ago and is shocked to discover it “actually works.”

Jasmine, who promotes retro fashion on TikTok, demonstrated how to use the small lip-shaped metal tool by covering “the inside flat surface of your applicator with lipstick” and “smooth out the lipstick evenly with your finger or lipstick.” “Wipe surplus off the top edge,” she said in the viral clip.

Jasmine looked gorgeous in her ‘50s style blonde hairdo, and her arched eyebrows were reminiscent of Monroe’s makeup as she showed off the $12 applicator to her fans. “How they applied lipstick in the 1940s!! Omggg this lipstick applicator is insane!!!” she exclaimed, adding that was meant to “apply your lipstick ‘perfectly.’”

She read out the instructions from the accompanying pamphlet, which advised users to ensure their lips were dry and powdered before applying lipstick. “Press your lips together, moving and rubbing the lower lip in and out against the upper lip as you would normally do. This will distribute the lipstick evenly on both lips,” Jasmine said, echoing the guide.

Blast from the past

Jasmine is known for her old-school fashion and beauty content, which has earned her a following of over 17 million users on TikTok. The native of Scotland and mother of two has “always loved vintage fashion since I was little,” but she was shy about expressing her interest until adulthood. Now, she is one of the internet’s poster girls for ‘50s fashion and has a reputation for mirroring Monroe’s bombshell looks.

Her content includes showcasing old hair remover tools, wedding dresses, bras, and century-old makeup, which she does not put on herself because “there’s often lead and harmful ingredients in there.” She currently lives with her husband, Maverick McNeilly, in Monroe’s Mediterranean-style home in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
