Jennifer Carpenter looks amazing with this long, silky smooth hairstyle that has been styled with layers and is straight. Long, straight hair can sometimes look flat and lifeless. Layers create dimension and movement, making the hair appear fuller and bouncier. Thick, long hair can feel heavy and prone to tangling. Layers remove excess weight, making hair more manageable and easier to brush, making this style ideal for those with a busy lifestyle. As an added bonus, if you have split ends or damage at the bottom, layering can remove the unhealthy parts without sacrificing overall length. The side parting ensures that her hair helps frame her face and draws attention to the layers around her face and neck area. To balance out this look, Jennifer has placed her hair behind one ear, opening up this style at the same time. Even though this is a simple style for you to recreate at home, it can be used as a casual or formal hairstyle. Do not forget to add product to your hair once you are done styling to ensure this look stays in shape.

When it comes to her makeup application, Jennifer has gone with a minimal makeup look which is always nice and will save you time. A gentle liner on your top and lower lids is a trend at the moment. Pair that with a nude or pastel lipstick color and don't forget to highlight and contour your face and neck area and you are ready to show off your new layered look!
