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

FOTD: Darling Ghoul Halloween (WIN!)

I'll start off by saying that I like this look infinitely better. Not so much that yet again my camera is awful... but I like the look. It's a different color combination for me. I have trouble coming up with combos at times, simply because I stare at the pile of eyeshadows and go 'duhhhh...'.

I got Plum Bright and Lightscapade MSF from Mac's new collection yesterday, do any of you guys want swatches or a look? Let me know!

Anyway, rolling on with the FOTD...
