FOTD: DG Hunger Games

I have a big announcement... I have, for the first time in my LIFE, foiled an eyeshadow to use as a liner successfully. I have tried SO many times and it never comes out right, but this time it actually worked! We'll talk about the fact that I've been wearing this for an hour and it's already trying to crease on one eye another time...

I really wanted to use Squirrel Hunter as my liner, being that it's a gorgeous forest green. This look is neutral but not 'boring', I don't think. Love is an Act is SO gorgeous, I've been wearing it a lot.

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

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.

Hunger Games Inspired: Effie Trinket

I decided to take some inspiration from The Hunger Games series as I just finished reading all three books. I have reviews up on Goodreads (if you want to be friends, here's my profile: http://www.goodreads.com/cydonianmu). Anyway, onto the makeup!

 
Effie Trinket is a bit of an odd character, you never really know who's side she's on. She's characterized by often wearing shades of pink and even having a light pink hue to her hair. I saw some photos from the upcoming movie and didn't want to copy her makeup exactly, but instead take some inspiration from the idea of the character and what I would wear if I happened to have light pink hair. Here's what I came up with:

One more to show the glitter:
