How to put it together
- 1
Put on the black flipped-bob wig, ensuring the bangs are straight and neat.
- 2
Clip the light blue hair bow directly into the top-center of the wig or your styled hair.
- 3
Slip on the light blue halter dress, adjusting the neck tie for a comfortable fit.
- 4
Fasten the black choker necklace around your neck so the white stone bead sits centered at the collarbone.
- 5
Put on simple black flip-flops or flat sandals to complete the prehistoric look.
Makeup & hair
Keep makeup simple and classic with a clean complexion, light pink lipstick, and subtle black eyeliner. The hair is key: a short, jet-black bob flipped outward at the ends, topped with a matching blue bow.
