Movie-inspired hair and makeup: 3 Beauty Panel looks made popular by our favourite film heroines

movie inspired beauty looks beauty panel

There’s no question that films these days are playing a large role in the fashion and beauty industry (think Net-A-Porter x Hunger Games and M.A.C x Maleficent). So it’s kind of expected to see us all regularly channeling our favourite film heroines, especially when these collaborations make it so easy to cop. And who doesn’t want to borrow  some of that leading lady confidence? While rocking our favourite movie looks is usually saved for Halloween, that doesn’t mean we can’t try to incorporate movie-inspired hair and makeup in our everyday lives. So this week, we asked Beauty Panel to do just that. From Katniss Everdeen’s much-coveted braid to Cher Horowitz’s ‘90s hair and makeup, Beauty Panel members are showing off their favourite movie-inspired beauty looks they’re rocking all year round.

We’re obsessed with The Hunger Games, right down to the messy braid Katniss sported in the film, so we can see why Genevieve Peeke of Gen in the City too wanted to try out this look (minus the bow and arrow, of course). With her natural makeup and an easy-to-do braid, Peeke shows us how to get this look in a flash. For all the fashion kids out there, at one point or another, we all wanted Cher Horowitz’s wardrobe. Thanks to Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” music video, ‘90s nostalgia is hitting us all over again, especially for Beauty Funk’s Sarah Muncaster. Putting her own spin on the Cher’s half up/half down hairstyle, we wouldn’t be surprised if this look makes a comeback in a huge way. But if you’re eyeing for something more soft and romantic, then Gerry Xun of The Bunnie Hole’s rendition of Larissa (“Lara”) Antipova from Doctor Zhivago is the one you should look to. Aware that she has a different face structure from Julie Christie, Gerry made the look her own.
