She has a very classic look for this time period with her short brunette hair, red lipstick, and cat eye glasses. The top middle section of her hair is combed forward and then curled under. It is cut super short and straight across at the forehead. The sides are brushed downward into pin curls at ear level so this style is both straight and curly.

Boy George is sporting his version of the pompadour hairstyle at the BRIT Awards 2014 in the 02 Arena in London.

Boy George

The sides are combed and slicked back with his grey temples showing. The top is swirled up in a roll with height and flair that can be accomplished with the use of strong hold hair products and back combing of the underneath roots. His hair color has a two tone appeal with light and dark tones. He is sporting a goatee and a serious expression. His eye make-up consists of dark eye liner that has a 1960's edge. You can see his peace sign tattoo on one temple and what looks like a red lipstick kiss on the other.
