Although Liz Taylor first first appeared on screen at the age of nine, she shot to superstar status at the age of 12 in 1944's National Velvet. Since then, this beauty with violet eyes has been in the spotlight — through good times and bad.
A longtime AIDS activist, Taylor filmed the bulk of her most successful movies in the 1950s and 1960s. A winner of two Oscars, the oft-married Taylor was the first actress to be paid one million dollars for a film (1963's Cleopatra).
While Taylor has suffered bouts of poor health throughout her life, she always seems to defy the odds. "Success is a great deodorant." she said. "It takes away all your past smells." Speaking of smells — Taylor's famous line of perfumes are marketed under the Elizabeth Arden brand and include Passion, White Diamonds, and Gardenia, among others.
A classic beauty, Taylor's 1950's makeup gave her that va-va-voom appeal. To recreate her sultry style, check out my tips, along with pictures of the lovely dame, when you read more.
- Velvety skin — For a smooth, matte finish try Max Factor Pan-Stik ($6.69).
- Alluring eyes — Opt for a natural shadow, black liner, and several layers of mascara. Try the dark end of Almay Bright Eyes Liner/Highlighter Duo Pencil in Soft Black & Champagne ($8.49) to line your eyes, and the light end to brighten your lids.
- Defined brows — With feather-like strokes, use a brow pencil to create sharp, angular arches. Try Maybelline Define-A-Brow Eyebrow Pencil in Soft Black ($6.49).
- Heart-shaped lips — Create a full, crimson lip using Clinique's High Impact Lip Colour in Red-y to Wear ($14), a beautiful shade of classic red.

2My younger sister has always reminded me of her...very similar facial features and full brows like hers.
3I just love her!!
4Absolute classic beauty. So beautiful.
5She hasn't aged well at all. But, she was pretty then.
6Dark hair and violet eyes are so pretty. I've always wanted her looks.
No one really
ages well in Hollywood. Isn't she in her 80's? None of us will be as good looking in our 80's as we do now.
7I meant as we are now... and she had alot of health problems even as a kid.
8I adore her dark hair and violet eyes. What a smashing statement to make about health issues! She has done a marvelous job in her career and I adore her fierce brows. She's one to look up to for beauty, grace and theatrics. At the same time, her many husbands might have many of us questioning "Why did she marry them in the first place?" lol It's good to hear she's doing well.
9definitely one of the most beautiful women ever.
10one of the most beautiful women ever; but a little obvious, no? I'd luv to see like Raquel Welch or Sophia Loren, someone that is more of an unconventional beauty...
