- Start off by setting your hair in pin curls using a small iron wand and pinning them in place so your curls can cool off.
- Once your curls are cool, pull the pins out and gently comb through them with your fingers to fluff them up.
- Place a heavy part, throw on your head piece and then pin up your curls into a faux bob for that vintage sass!
- Keep your base makeup soft and slightly pale. No need to over bronze but definitely hit the apples of your cheeks with a peachy-pink blush!
- Ditch the over blending here — the ’20s are all about that bold drama. Go big with a deep black and charcoal eye where you focus the black in the crease really heavily.
- Keep the charcoal on your eyelids and then pop a bright cream shadow on the inside corners of your eyes to brighten.
- Fully line your eyes with a black eyeliner and then lash up with some falsies to balance those bold babies!
- Keep your brows and lips equally as bold by drawing in a slightly deeper brow than your natural hue and your lips with a liner to really enhance your cupid’s bow (if you don’t have a pronounced one fake it here).
