North and South Period Hair Style and Makeup

HAIR

I recently stayed up far too late to watch my favourite period drama, North and South (BBC). This tutorial was inspired by Margaret Hale’s hair style played by Daniela Denby-Ashe.

Hair Tutorial

Bobby Pins

Tiny Hair Bands

Hair Decoration

The flower used in my hair was purchased from Lindcraft for about $3. If you want to go for a more traditional look use a hair slide like this one (pictured).

MAKE-UP

I kept the make-up for this look modern yet soft.

Make-up Tutorial

Face – Youngblood Natural Mineral Foundation (neutral)

Cheeks – MAC Bronzing Powder (refined golden)

Concealer – MAC Studio Sculpt Concealer (NW25)

Eye Lid – Youngblood Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow Quad Gemstones (Cashmere)

Eye Crease – Youngblood Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow Quad Gemstones (Alabaster)

Eye Line – Youngblood Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow Quad Gemstones (Irish Moss)

Eye lashes – Avon Shock Mascara (Black)

Lips – Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick (Ginger Rose)

Brushes

Concealer – MAC 194SE

Bronzer – MAC 187SE

Foundation - MAC 182SE

Eye Shadow – MAC 275SE

Eye Line – MAC 212SE

NOTE: If you are wanting to buy MAC brushes, wait until they have sets for sale. It’s a lot cheaper than buying them seperately.

Sometimes it’s okay to live in the past.
