MOTD: Hunger Games

The hottest new movie out right now is Hunger Games and I haven't even seen it. I was intrigued by the trailer I saw during a commercial break from one of my television shows and also this inspirational set from Polyvore. I can't wait to see the movie to actually see what the dress looked like.

My Inspiration for the look

Start with your highlight and work down is the easiest way to achieve all the different colors to blend into each other.  You can't tell in the picture but I do have the yellow color wrapped around from the inner corner of my eye to just above my natural crease.  I would recommend layering the orange/red color until you get the desired effect that you are trying to achieve.  A bullet tipped brush such as the MAC 219 works best to get more defined saturated color  and to have that winged look.  I have no specific names of the colors as these are no name brand eye shadows but as long as you stick to colors that are similar you will be set to go.  The lashes are from the Japanese Dollar Store I always mention, Daiso.  These type of lashes really gave a nice overall finish to the eyes.

I'm thinking of creating a series of makeup looks from Hunger Games... we will see where this takes me :)

MOTD: Yellow and a mix of blues

I really love Pinterest, it's a great social website to share pictures with others of things that "interest" you from all over the web. You simply "pin" whatever you like on the web and categories your pins to boards.  It's very much like your online scrapbook.  Whoever thought of Pinterest is a genius! I have so many pictures saved on my computer and then when I want to go back and see where I got it from I can't remember.  Once you pin the picture to your board you can go back and click it to be linked back to the original location.  AMAZING!  The more people you follow who have the same interest as yourself the more pictures will show up on your main page that you can pin.  Follow me on

I recently found this picture, and I knew instantly that I had to recreate this look.  The makeup was done by Foreverfashion78 it was done so beautiful! My look isn't 100% like hers but it's close and I love how it turned out.

I used colors that were similar to hers. The look was actually pretty easy to recreate.  I found it was best that you start with your highlight, then crease with the yellow and blend upward toward the highlight.  This will help prevent the blue taking over the yellow.  Don't forget to use your eye primer to make the colors just pop!

I am going to start posting my MOTD's from Instagram on my blog to give you some detailed information on how to recreate some of the looks.  More and more makeup candy pics for you!!
