Rue is from District 11, whose specialty is agriculture -- specifically, orchards, grain and cotton. I went with the orchard theme and did my look with mostly greens. I used a light matte pink on my waterline that you unfortunately can't see in photos, but in person it looks like a flower blossom amongst the green or something. I also used a glowy blush to give a youthful look (Rue is only 12) and a pale pink lipstick, again for a younger look. As a side note, I wore an apple printed shirt, just to be quirky ;-).
The photos really don't do this look justice -- 412P from Inglot is a REALLY intense shimmering green with gold flash and it made the entire look shine.

YAY. Poor Rue (Poor 'whoever' is going to be a recurring comment in this series I think! ) I love the idea of a pink waterline with all the green - CUTE.
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty! I hate when cameras wash out color. Does your camera have settings you can adjust? I try and use no flash near a good source of natural light if I can.
ReplyDelete@Leticia: I try not to use flash when I photo my looks at home, but often I'm at work and have to use a white wall to take the photos, and have indoor lighting, so I have to use flash. It's awful. It does have some settings and I've found some that don't wash out as bad but it's just a pain to try to get a good photo.
ReplyDeleteAlways wear green - it's definitely your color!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful greens! It definitely frustrates me when I can't capture exactly what I see! Or when it's not even CLOSE. Urgh.
ReplyDeleteI love this, Rue is adorable and I think you really nailed this look.
Oh god I'm craving for green e/s for the moment and this makeup look really gives credit to my craze of the year end! :) Beautiful!

Great look! Loving these green! Very cute top you have on there! And still....I have no clue what this hunger games is you speak of.... I must be behind on something!
ReplyDeletei'm liking this soft green a lot! and it worked so well with the colour of your eyeses (gollum grammar haha!)
ReplyDeleteLove this so much. The silvery lipstick really adds a cuteness to it. I agree with Robyn about the pink waterline. :D
ReplyDeleteWow...that is a STUNNING shade of green, especially against your skin tone. It really makes your eyes pop too. Just beautiful! Nice job :)
