Hair in the 40's was high maintenance and elegant, soft curls that framed the face was the most common hairstyle for women in any area and women maintained their hair perfectly daily. Appearance was important and keeping up with this image showed society that a woman was in control and successful.

Make up:
The main make up look for the 40's was strong eyebrows - dark, softer eyes - eyeliner on top of the lid, black eyelashes, and strong red lips.
Examples in both colour and black and white photos of the classic make up look
Both old and modern photos of both 40's style hair and make up.
Keeping with these styles, i did some prototypes of how our hair and make up may look for our filming:
Both colour and black and white examples of prototype.
As Ellie and I have different lengths of hair - short and long, we will use our examples to create our 1940's look for filming.
