Channel Janelle Monae's Glowing Skin & Do-able 'Do

Inspired by Karlheinz Weinberger’s portraits of rebel boys in the 1950s, talented upcoming hair stylist Bobby Eliot created this genius, curled 'do. I kept Miss Jodie Smith’s makeup classically pretty with just a touch of the '50s in the big lashes and defined brows (referencing Helen Williams’ iconic beauty). Note: Jodie, Bobby and I have another look (a very extreme one!) up our sleeves… stay tuned.
