Billie Holiday isn't just a musical legend — she's also a beauty icon.
To pay homage to her incredible style, Cut.com offered up two options — a straight '40s version of her lewk and an updated alternative, that gives a modern twist to her sleek curls.
First up: HAIR.
To get the look: First straighten your hair to have the best possible base to create curls.
Then, separate your hair into 1-inch sections, and using a 5/8" curling iron, start curling your hair in alternate directions.
Once you've got a full head of curls, take the tip of your curls and tease the ends. It'll give you a fuller head of hair.
Once you've done that, you can pin unruly curls in place with bobby pins, and loosen up the curls with your fingers for a bit more volume.
Once you've got fierce AF hair, it's time to get your makeup done.
After applying foundation, apply a slightly darker foundation or contour powder to your cheekbones to define your cheekbones.
Then apply a warm, peachy blush to the apples of your cheeks. Then apply a highlighter to your cheekbones and the corners of your eyes.
Pair it with a soft, smoky eye.
And finish with a gorg soft rose lip!
The finished look? IT'S AMAAAAAAZING.
