Makeup Geek Contest: Effie Trinket

This week's weekly challenge was inspired by Effie Trinket, a character from The Hunger Games... I still have yet to see this movie, I want to read the books first.. But Effie is played by Elizabeth Banks and I have to give props to the makeup dept. on this movie because it looks nothing like her..  I decided to base my look on this photo.. but maybe what she would have looked like if she was in her teens..

Here's my look:

Here's what I used:

EYES

• Lid- 120 palette (peony pink and thistle pink)

• Mascara- Volume Exact Mascara by Covergirl
• Lashes- NYX Lashes (pink and black feather lashes) now I did something rather stupid because I had no more eye lash glue.. I tried to use a regular glue stick to make them stick and it was a temp fix.. unfortunately it irritated my eyes afterwards.. so I will never try that again...
• Brows- I took a clean mascara wand and dunked on some foundation and mixed some NYX Milk on there with it to make my eye brows look lighter.

CHEEKS

Wet N Wild Mega Last Lip Color and Speed Glosses: Swatches

I love these Mega Last Lip Colors!!! All of them are Matte colors and all of them are pretty in their own way.. and they actually stay on for a while.. it took me a while to get these lip swatches off my arm lol


















PinkerBell- It's a great coral pink almost a salmon
Doll House Pink- bright cool toned pink
Sugar Plum Fairy- Burgundy Purple
24 Carrot Gold- Bright orange.. almost like a MAC Morange color (this picture does nothing for the color tbh)

Stoplight Red- Red with a slight pink tint



These Speed Glosses are great, they have a refreshing minty taste and give your pucker some sparkle and shine.

Frenzied- Really unique gold/carmel/peach color
