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 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.

Sometimes it’s okay to live in the past.
