1940's Hair & Make up Practice

Before i did the practice hair, make up and costume shots i decided to look up some tutorials. I did quite a bit of research using YouTube, but most of the tutorial videos on there used 'a modern twist to the 1940's style'. Make up was quite straight forward, pale concealer, foundation and power (fix it all in place with talcum power- also makes it more flawless). Shade eyebrows to frame the face, a beauty mark could also be used and statement coloured lips. Use a highlight to bring out more angular features such as bridge of nose and cheek bones and use minimal eye make up (ideally just a subtle mascara).
I got the idea for the hair from this traditional 1940's hair style tutorial:

I used this idea as the basis of the style, however i changed it at the back and used a curling iron instead. I feel it is very classy and suits the character of Alina very well.
