The list of our favorite red lipsticks that the Diva Musa of the last Cannes Film Festival would have liked too

Whitey Snyder, Marilyn Monroe's make-up artist, took three hours to transform the delightful Norma Jean into the iconic actress who, to this day, has no hint of being dethroned by the Olympus of the stars. One of the hallmarks of her "signature look" was her red lipstick.

All the shades that we have chosen from the editorial staff of Grazia. IT are cold, with a high percentage of blue in the color. Because? This way your teeth will appear whiter and your smile will be dazzling. We love red lipstick just like Marilyn and each one has her favorite: we give you the list of rouge that even the Diva would have liked in her clutch.

Elizabeth Arden Lipstick in Flame: historic brand created in 1912 and which counted Marilyn herself among its customers. Even today, owning a rouge Arden means red-diva.

Marilyn and Whitey used several layers of different colors to get the classic red of her lip make-up: one of the favorite lipsticks was from Guerlain, we refresh its glory by choosing it in the Excès de Rouge color of the KissKiss range.

Liable by Illamasqua: we are sure that the Blonde Actress would have appreciated Illamasqua, always one step ahead in the search for color and theatrical and never boring combinations. The lipsticks are highly pigmented and enclosed in a glossy black packaging. True weapons of seduction.

Max Factor, another brand that Marilyn loved. She used her funds very often for the elaborate make-up that the make-up artist Whitey prepared for her before facing the studio lights. Color Elixir in Ruby Tuesday would certainly have been one of her favorites.

Flame red like Dior rouge in Belle de Nuit Haute Couleur: creamy texture, smoothness and intense color, a pleasure for the lips.

News that came out very recently and has already become a collector's item: the lipstick capsule collection by Monica Bellucci and Dolce & Gabbana. Brunette meets blonde Marilyn, for a contemporary update to the movie Men Prefer Blondes alongside Jane Russell. The classic and timeless red of the capsule is called Italian Monica, while in the permanent line, Fire is the explosive red par excellence.

French and all pepper: the red Nars in Jungle Red, sumptuous, semi-matte and elegant.

Infrared: TopShop Make Up's fresh, fun and playful red is slightly orange but bright, perfect for juicy lips.

Rouge Allure Passion by Chanel: like the passion that Marilyn put into all the things she did. Red Lipstick and Chanel: an essential combination and if you want to know more about the Diva, we recommend reading Joyce Carol Oates' Blonde, you will never see her with the same eyes again.

Yves Saint Laurent also loved the Blonde Diva very much and what could be better than remembering her with a lipstick? In the Rouge Pur Couture range you can choose some reds, we have chosen Rouge Feu, strong cherry red.

MAC Cosmetics has many reds: if you are looking for the right red for you, you will surely find it. We have choosen Russian Red, a great classic: intense, pigmented and durable.
