The president of the jury of the Cabourg Film Festival caused a sensation at the closing ceremony this Saturday. Virginie Efira wore the perfect bangs to rejuvenate the face after 40.
Saturday evening ended the 38th edition of the Cabourg Film Festival which offers a competition of feature-length and short romantic films. This year, the jury was composed of Clotilde Courau, Melvil Poupaud, Daphné Patakia and chaired by Virginie Efira. For the closing ceremony, the 47-year-old actress caused a sensation with a chic and casual outfit. A look by Anthony Vaccarello for Saint Laurent composed of a white shirt, an oversized blazer jacket, shorts and a pair of black pointed-toe pumps.
The president of the jury chose a very natural beauty look. Fresh complexion, nude mouth, subtle liner… A “no make-up” effect makeup that brings a lot of freshness to your look. A minimalist beauty treatment that left all the light on her hairstyle: a high ponytail with curtain bangs. A perfectly executed look that ticks all the “rejuvenating” hairstyle boxes.

Curtain bangs: Virginie Efira’s anti-aging hairstyle tip
With this falsely disheveled high ponytail, Virginie Efira brings a lot of modernity to her look. Unlike a flat ponytail, which could have given her face a too strict and cold look, this much more natural attachment brings freshness to her beauty look. A “styled/disheveled” effect that requires, contrary to what one might think, a lot of work! We notice that the hair is subtly wavy and that the volume of the hair is accentuated at the roots to create this effect of substance and density.

But it is above all the curtain fringe which brings this “rejuvenating” effect. Placed on each side of your face, it softens the oval, camouflages fine lines and gives an extra touch of glamor to your hairstyle.
How to wear curtain bangs after 40?
With a mid-length layered cut like Virginie Efira, a short cut or a bob cut, curtain bangs are a good option to rejuvenate your look after 40. To be well proportioned, it must emphasize the line of the cheekbones and blend with a slight gradient of the locks that frame the face. Slightly shorter and thinner in the center of the face, it highlights the eyes without weighing down the face. If you have fine hair, it must be fine enough and well tapered to avoid reducing the volume of your hair.

The main advantage of curtain bangs is that they can dress up and soften the oval of your face even when your hair is tied up. With a bun or ponytail, it brings more softness and sophistication to your look. To work it and give it nice movement, don’t hesitate to use a round brush or heated curlers. Also use styling products to coat the hair from the roots, such as mousse or dry shampoo. The tip: apply these products to dry hair, rather than damp hair, to obtain better hold and longer-lasting volume.
