The Hunger Games Inspired Makeup Series : District 13

Hello everyone! Today I'm doing the last of this series inspired makeup looks : District 13! District 13 is thought to have been annihilated during the rebellion, which means other districts are no longer in contact with it. Their industry used to be nuclear power.

If you haven't read second book or watched the second movie yet, do not read below it will contain spoilers which you might not want to know about. (or go ahead, but at you own risk if you like spoilers)

*SPOILER ALERT*

After book 2, we now know that district 13 in fact still exists, and has made a deal with the Capitol during the rebellion to be able to be independent from it. It's where Katniss is transported following the end of the second Hunger Games, where she will be the face of the rebellion. Basically, District 13 becomes the seat of the rebellion, which is why I took inspiration from that, rather than going for a nuclear theme. (which I wouldn't have known how to represent anyway). Katniss's mockingjay pin also becomes the symbol of the rebellion, which is what I chose to represent for this look. I got inspired by this image of the mockingjay pin over a black background :

*END OF SPOILER*

The Hunger Games Inspired Makeup Series : District 12 (The Girl on Fire)

Hey all! Today I have a makeup look that is inspired by District 12 of Panem from the Hunger Games. This is the Katniss Everdeen's district, where she grew up and lives with her family. The district's industry is mining, but I was more inspired to create a look to reflect the main character's persona rather than a look to represent mining. 

The only colors I could think of for a mining themed look were black and gray, which would have ended up looking too much like District 2 for my liking. Therefore I decided to go another route for this one. Instead, I was inspired by the nickname that was given to Katniss by her stylist Cinna in book 1 of the series : The girl on fire. 

If I remember correctly it had something to do with her district in the first place, so it's not completely unrelated. Throughout books 1 and 2, the nickname has become a symbol of Katniss and her prowess in the Hunger Games, which is why I thought it was perfect to represent the Hunger Games winner of District 12, Katniss Everdeen. 

This is another look that I decided to go quite literal for. I went for a flaming eye, nothing less! I hope you enjoy this look. Let me know in the comments what you think of it! ♥

The Hunger Games Inspired Makeup Series : District 11 (Agriculture)

Hi all! Here's another District inspired makeup look from Hunger Games! It's district 11 from Panem, the district of agriculture.

I was inspired for this look by the colors of the crops and fresh tilled earth, so I went for gold and brown tones as well as a nice warm toned green. I was also inspired by the glowing sun, which gives life to the harvest. I went for a copper liner to keep things soft and pretty. Overall, I'm really glad of how this look turned out! It's probably one of the most wearable looks I have done yet for this series! Let me know what you think in the comments! Is this something you would wear?

The Hunger Games Inspired Makeup Series : District 10 (Livestock)

Hey all! Today I have a District 10 inspired makeup to share with you all! District 10's industry is livestock which is why I chose to go with earthy colors and a matte finish. I went for a white and brown smokey look on the upper lid to represent the colors of a brown and white spotted cow. The resason for this is when I think of livestock, the first farm animal that usually comes to my mind is a cow!  Then, I went for a nice green accent on the lower lid to represent the grass underneath the livestock. Basically, it's another one of my beloved pop of color looks! If you've been following me since earlier this year, you probably know how much I love those already. :P

Anyway, this is one of the most wearable looks I have done to date for this series, so I hope you enjoy it! Next up is District 11 which is agriculture and it will also be wearable, so look out for that one as well.

The Hunger Games Inspired Makeup Series : District 8 (Textiles)

Hey everyone! Today I have another Hunger Games inspired makeup look to share! This one is district 8 for which the main industry is textiles. Now I was really uninspired by this theme, so I came up with a diamonds pattern look, which kind of looks clownish now that it's all said and done. It's not that I don't think it looks nice, but it's kind of more Halloweeny than anything else, ahah. Anyway, that's all I got for this one, sorry guys! Hope you enjoy it none the less.

The Hunger Games Inspired Makeup Series : District 7 (Lumber)

Hey everyone! Today I have another Hunger Games inspired makeup look for you all! It's inspired by District 7 of Panem for which the main industry is lumber.

This time, I went all out whimsical and drew a tree branch complete with leaves on my eyes. I haven't mentioned this before, but a certain amount of my blog posts are done in advance and scheduled to a particular date so that I have blog posts going up regularly, even if I'm super busy with school, work or anything else. Lately, many of the looks I have done have been quite cartoon-like and I guess it's probably because Halloween is just around the corner as I write this. Anyway, just a random tidbit I felt like sharing!

The Hunger Games Inspired Makeup Series : District 6 (Transportation and Morphlings)

Hey everyone! Today I have another makeup look inspired by the Hunger Games to share! This time it's inspired by district 6! The main industry of district 6 is transportation. It is also a district that has struggled with morphling addiction following the horrors that certain contestants have faced during the games. Since I wasn't too inspired by the transportation theme on its own, I thought I would combine both to create a look that best represents the district's most characteristic features.

As far as transportation is concerned, it inspired me to create a slate grey and black look on the upper lid to represent the color of the roads and tires. For the morphling aspect I went with a bright rainbow underneath the eye.

The Hunger Games Inspired Makeup Series : District 4 (Fishing)

 Hey everyone! Today I'm back again with the Hunger Games series! I'm getting more and more excited about the movie release at this point and this series is only making it that much harder to wait (but also that much more exciting!).  The movie comes out in two weeks if I'm not mistaken. I kind of want to re-read the series to get myself ready for the movie, but I'm not sure I have enough time with school and work. Anyway, this is district four, the fishing district.

I went quite literal for this one and I and basically drew a swimming fish on my eye. This is obviously as unwearable as it gets, but it looks really cool in my opinion. Let me know what you think!

The Hunger Games Inspired Makeup Series : District 3 (Technology/Electronics)

Hey all! Today, I'm continuing the Hunger Game series with a makeup look inspired by District 3 of Panem. It's the technology  district and most of its inhabitants are skilled and work with electronics. They also build various mechanical objects.

When I think electronics and technology, I think silver and futuristic and when I think mechanical, I think bolts, straight angles, robots (yep, ahaha), etc. I kind of combined all of what the theme inspired me to imagine into one awesome (at least I think so :P) makeup look! Check it out and I hope you enjoy this!

The Hunger Games Inspired Makeup Series : District 2

Hey everyone! I'm back with district two today! District two is where most peacekeepers are trained and it's pretty much considered the weapon district. It's also known for its stone quarries which a lot of the District's inhabitants work in.

Because of that, I decided to go with a really dramatic black and slate color theme, with just a hint of green to keep things interesting. To me, this dark and intense look represents the stones and the deeps of the undergrounds, but also the somber reality surrounding weapons. I'm not expressing my thoughts very clearly, but to me, weapons and stones are synonymous with deep shades and dramatic shapes. So check out what I came up with :

The Hunger Games Makeup Inspired Series : District 1

Hey everyone! In honor of the second movie of the Hunger Games coming out this month, I decided that I would do a Hunger Games inspired series! I adored the book series and I thought the first movie was really well done, so I'm really looking forward to the second movie coming out! To celebrate that and because I think it's going to make it even more fun to wait for the movie's release, I will be doing a makeup look inspired by each district of Panem and will post them every other day until the movie comes out! Who else is excited for the movie's release?

The first district is District one, which is responsible for the luxury industry, meaning gems, furs, perfumes and such. When I think of luxury I think of precious gems and all the beautiful colors associated with them. That's why I went for this jeweled tone color scheme. I hope you enjoy this!

Latest book obsession : The Hunger Games


I might be a little late on the band wagon, but I've recently become obssessed with the Hunger Games book series! The story is really quite out of the ordinary and extremely captivating. The books are action-packed and full of suprises. I've been hearing a lot of hype about the books on Youtube for a while, but didn't give it much thought until the movie came out. I kept hearing advertisements about it on tv and I got curious. I don't like going to see a book-inspired movie before actually reading it, so I got them all for my kindle! I'm almost done with the last one (I have to study right now, so I can't finish it X_X) and it only took me about two days! To be fair, these are only about 400 pages each, so it's a pretty quick read.

I was watching a Youtube video book review by Missglamorazzi and I decided that my next read will be the Game of Thrones series (there are five books I believe so that should keep me busy a while :P). What books have you been enjoying lately?
