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

• Base- NYX JP in Strawberry Milk
• Lid- 120 palette (peony pink and thistle pink)
• Crease- Same as the lid colors
• Highlight- Ulta in Iceland
• Liner- Strawberry Milk on the lower lash line, with the 120 colors on top. on top I used Styli-Style extreme black in the tight line.
• 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

• I covered my face with NYX JP in Milk 
• Blush- I used Hard Candy in Living Doll on the Temples and upper cheek area
•  I used a little sticky heart decal on the side of my eye.

LIPS

• I covered my lips with NYX JP in Milk
• I used NYX JP in Pacific to line my lips, then I used NYX in Baby Pink for the lighter parts and Wet N Wild Fantasy Lip stick in Blue Magic for the dark parts.

Hunger Games Inspired Look

 I have to admit I have not read any of the Hunger Games books but the movie looks absolutely fantastic! In honor of the movie release I decided to do my own Hunger Games makeup look based off the movie poster Slate Grays and bright yellow golds and oranges.
