[Beauty Tips] Learn how to create classic hair and lip styles that complement short bangs and thick brows, as taught by a pro

Mar 15, 2016

"Carol" is a film set in New York in the 1950s. With costumes designed by Sandy Powell, who has won three Academy Awards for costume design, it's sure to be a hit with fashion lovers.

This time, we'll be focusing on the hair and lips of the film's main characters, Carol and Therese. In this video, we'll take a detailed look at the retro and modern hairstyles of the time, as well as modern-style arrangements, lip colors and application techniques, and more.

■ Therese's trademark is her short bangs. A hairstyle that makes the headband that appears in the movie the focal point, and a girly lip that accentuates her thick brows.


【STEP 1】Classic 50s Hairstyle
1. Blow-dry your hair completely. It's important to be conscious of adding shine and smoothing the surface.
2. Wrap the turban around your ears so that your ears are exposed. Then, gently curl your bangs inward, then do the same on both sides.
3. Curling your bangs inward prevents them from looking flat, which can be a problem with some turbans. The key to this hairstyle is fluffy bangs, which further accentuate her cuteness.
4. For the finishing touch, it's best to choose a shine spray that contains fibers. This will help maintain the beauty of your hairstyle.

[STEP 2] Pink-beige lipstick for a girly finish
Apply pink-beige lipstick along the lip line. Pink-beige is a color that brings out the defined eyebrows. This understated color, combined with a matte texture that seems to represent Terrace's pure heart, projects a simple inner self.

[STEP 3] Arrange from 50s hairstyles to modern natural hairstyles
1. Completely cover your ears with a headband.
2. Sweep your bangs, which have been curled inward, to the side.
3. Add some nuance to the ends of your hair to add movement and you're done.
