A lot of people think that an up-do is not a formal hairstyle, but Anya Taylor Joy is here to show us that an up-do when styled correctly, can be a gorgeous formal hairstyle that is going to tie your look together and help you show off your stunning new jewels. I strongly suggest that you have a few extra bobby pins in your bag just in case one breaks in your hairstyle. You do not want to have hair falling out of place with this look. The pieces of hair on the side of her face help to shape her face and frame it to create the illusion of a gorgeous oval face shape. You are going to need to cut your hair once every 6 weeks or so to ensure that your ends stay healthy.
Makeup-wise, do not forget to highlight and contour your face and neck area to help shape your face. Other than that, the sky is your limit. You can always do a perfect smokey eye for an evening look. Add false lashes to give your eyes a lift. You will be irresistible with this new hairstyle and your attitude will change as well. Watch out world!

Styling Steps
1. Part the Middle
Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your nose and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even middle part. A middle part is a great way to make small, round face shapes appear longer and thinner.
2. Apply Straightening Balm
Squeeze a small amount of straightening balm into your palms and then rub your hands together before smoothing the product evenly through damp hair.
3. Use a Straightening Iron
When straightening your hair, first make sure that your hair is completely dry. Then, section your hair off starting from the back/nape using a comb. Straighten your hair starting from the roots and working your way down to the ends using your comb as your guide. Make sure not to leave the straightening iron in one spot for more than 3 seconds.

4. Use a Curling Iron on the Front and Sides
Starting at the front, take a small section of hair and place the ends at the base of your curling iron barrel and then wrap the hair up around the barrel until you reach your roots. Hold the hair for 5 to 10 seconds and then release the hair by unwinding the strands backwards. Continue this step until all of the hair through your front and sides has been curled.
5. Apply Hairspray
To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
