The Hunger Games Inspired Make Up Tutorial: Cinna's Gold Eyeliner

Posted by Alexandra C. | Wednesday March 14, 201235 comments


The Hunger Games movie comes out in a few weeks and let me tell you, that movie is hot. Not just because it's one of the most anticipated films but also because of the cast which includes Mr. Lenny Kravitz. 

I actually googled Lenny the other day and was astonished to find out that he is 47 years old! He still looks smokin'! In the movie, he plays Cinna who wears gold eyeliner. This look is definitely a bit O.T.T. (over the top) and kind of crazy but we've toned it down and made it wearable for you chicks. We've got to say, we're loving the glitter and glitz of the gold. 


For this look, we're using Make Up For Ever Metal Powder in #1 (US$22.00). It's an intense, pigmented, loose mineral powder that we'll mix with Make Up For Ever Eye Seal (US$21.00).

When you're mixing a loose powder with a transformer to make a liquid liner, simply tap some of the powder onto a surface and add about two drops of the transformer to the powder. Mix with a brush. We're using a Quo angled brush. 

Step 1: Gold Liner 


This look requires a thick, gold line across the upper lid. It might look a bit messy, don't freak out just yet though. If you need some pointers on doing a sleek, cat eyeliner check out this tutorial here or try this easy trick. You don't need to wing this line out very far, just bring it across from the outer to the inner corner of your eye. The line should be thicker on the outer corner and should blend into the lash line towards the inner corner. 

Over top of this, we lightly dusted on a sheer coat of the gold pigment to make it more natural and not as stark against my skin tone. 
  
Step 2: Liner and Mascara


On top of the thick gold line, use a black eyeliner to draw a thinner line as close to the lash line as possible We used Maybelline EyeStudio Master Precise Ink Pen Eyeliner (C$9.29) for this step. A liquid liner is probably easiest to use since it won't smudge like a pencil might. 

Lastly, we used a coat of mascara for a longer lashes with more volume and to widen and brighten the eyes, making them really pop. We used CoverGirl LashBlast (C$6.50)

Final Look!

I'm sorry... did you just apply mascara and eyeliner and call yourself a make-up artist?

I do this all the time with eyeshadow, its my go to thing when I'm rushing out the door, I just apply it quickly like eyeliner and then do regular liquid eyeliner and mascara over it and it ends up turning out like that. I get compliments all the time when I do it, so I guess it's a success :)

@mamaluv, sounds great! I just finished The Hunger Games last night. I will review it shortly and try not to give anything away. I'll keep an eye out for the Book Club too. I want to read the next book in the Hunger Games series and I've been told that the Twilight series of books is a great read! So I might start that. But with summer coming I can see my "reading on the couch" time turning into "working in the garden" time. I'm going to try to grow vegetables this year! Wish me luck! Maybe Chickadvisor needs a Gardening Club!? lol
