Penelope Cruz is looking as gorgeous as ever with this simple yet elegant hairstyle. The aspect that makes this style so different is the two-tone color scheme that Penelope has done. Darker on the top allows you to push off your color touch-ups a bit longer as you do not have to worry about your roots showing. Her hair has been parted down the middle which allows her hair to soften the edges of her face shape evenly on both sides. Due to the way in which her hair falls, glasses will not suit this look. You are going to need to cut your hair once every 4 weeks or so to ensure that your haircut stays in shape and that your ends stay healthy. You will need to touch up your color every 6 weeks or so to ensure that the color stays vibrant.
When it comes to your makeup, you'll want to make sure that you do a formal/evening makeup application. A smokey eye is always a good starting point. You can add some false lashes to make your eyes pop more. Penelope has added some glitter to her eyes to make her makeup look more formal yet sparkly which we are living for! Finish off with a gorgeous lip color and you are ready for your night out!

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. 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.
