Jennifer Lawrence’s Feisty Housewife
Classic beauty Jennifer Lawrence stunned in the film by wearing draping gowns and dramatic jewelry. Her high cheekbones were enhanced with a very hefty dose of contouring products like highlighter and bronzer which, in true 70s fashion glimmered and glowed.
Lawrence’s hair was feathered in a truly disco-friendly manner, with large sweeping curls that moved away from her face. This look can be achieved by using a curling iron or rollers and turning curls out around the face and then curling in multiple directions closer to the back of the head.
Lawrence’s character also wore signature nail polish. Bright and bold nail colors are easier than ever to achieve now, with gel shellacs that allow for a full and rich color that does not chip over time.
Other Trends in American Hustle

Eyeliner makes a bold appearance throughout, with eyes that are heavily lined on both top and bottom.
