Hello ladies, it's been awhile! All is well with me, just been busy in school.

Anywho, we are having an around the world competition and I'm looking for some looks to represent the country of England. Hair and makeup looks/ideas are much needed.
Thanks for the help :)💄

Maybe try braiding it into several dutch braids overnight when wet, take it out in the morning and then back comb your crown and pin it up. Makeup-wise, England is seen as very natural, so a light pink blusher (cream blush works better), brown or black mascara, brow gel, a neutral pink or red-toned lipstick or balm and maybe a brown or taupe in your crease. If you want, you can also use concealer or light foundation to even out skintone and remove blemishes, but keep it natural.

Queen Elizabeth was known for powering her face white (part of her reputation as the Virgin Queen).

You have a lot of English history to work with:
- Elizabethan: white faces, curly hair, no eye makeup, little to no lip makeup, red or pink cheeks
- Edwardian: softer, think Wendy Darling from Peter Pan or her mother
- Victorian: tons of references for this exist
- Mod: Twiggy is probably the most well-known icon for this style, but Edie Sedgwick comes to mind too (even though she was American, the Mod style was big in GB)

Thank your girls!! The makeup and hair I'm going to do inspired by Queen Elizabeth. And as for clothing I'm going to throw in a twist and make the outfit more modern. I'll be sure to post the results ❤️
