Blonde Marilyn Monroe Hair and Makeup Secrets
Behind Ana de Armas's Transformation Into Marilyn Monroe

Because Armas has such dark hair, they had to get creative when wigging her; otherwise, you'd see her brunette hair through the cap and platinum blond wig. "That's where Tina stepped in and saved the hair day by applying silicone prosthetic pieces that blended Ana's own forehead and temple area through into the top and crown," says McIntosh. "So when you're looking through the wig, you are seeing scalp instead of any depth or darkness through there."
This gave them a blank slate to work with and allowed them to replicate Monroe's exact hairline with the wigs.
