FOTD: Fiery Friday (also Hunger Games Inspired: Katniss)

So I've finally done one of the more dramatic Hunger Games looks. I didn't want to wear red eyeshadow to work but it is SO dreary here that I had to do something bright and interesting. At least it's warm, right? Can't complain about 67 degrees in January.

Of course, I had to do something fiery like this... she's 'the girl on fire'! (ho ho ho, tacky, I know) I used a really pretty MUA glitter liner on the lower lashline, but it comes up in pictures as looking a bit chunky! I promise it's pretty in person.

Hunger Games Inspired: Peeta

Next up is Peeta :)

I really struggled with a look for Peeta. They don't really talk about his clothes in the books and there wasn't much to take inspiration from on a superficial level. I thought about his character and personality and tried again. Katniss is "the girl on fire" and as he's her lover (on screen anyway), he has a bit of fire in him too. You see it later on in the series (I don't want to spoiler anyone). Thus, I wanted a look that incorporated fire without being obvious... a 'hidden' fire, so to speak. I used red eyeshadow mixed with brown to keep it more neutral and easy to wear. The orange/reds I used shimmer as the light shifts, sort of looking like fire (see bottom photo)... this is so much prettier in person!

I was also inspired by the use of the berry eyeliner in this look by Robyn: http://eyelinerandspraypaint.blogspot.com/2011/11/swatches-review-and-lotd-sleek-berry.html

Are you enjoying this series? Do you have any requests?

Hunger Games Inspired: Rue

This look was requested by Robyn so I was much obliged... I mean, how could I not? Rue is awesome!

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.

- Wet n Wild Color Icon liner in Green (upper lashline)

- Maybelline One by One mascara (Black)

LIPS:

- Clinique Long Last Lipstick in Silvery Moon

Hunger Games Inspired: Cinna

Today I did a look inspired by Cinna! He's Katniss' designer and counselor before the Games. There isn't much description for him, other than that he has short brown hair and mentions of gold eyeliner. There's no description on the eyeliner so I did something more subtle than dramatic, maybe even as a guy would wear?

Here's the look, I'm not 100% pleased with it as the gold liner ended up being more silvery and light than I wanted. I used a pale gold as an inner corner highlight and brought it under my eye in an attempt to make my eyes look bigger, but it just look like fallout, haha.
