Caggie Dunlop

The middle part stops short of the crown where the puff begins. The top back portion and sides have some oomph to them but not too much. Back combing of the under layers adds height and then smoothing of the outer layer gives a straight look to this updo hairstyle. The long bangs are drawn over to the sides and lightly curled for some feminine fringe. Her color is a honey brown with warm highlights. Her make-up is understated and she is wearing a tan colored suit jacket and button up blouse here at "The Lucky One" European Premiere.
