HUNGER GAMES: {Exclusive: Never Before Seen Footage} + Katniss Everdeen Makeup Tutorial

Hello Fellow Tributes..hehehe! So I'm gonna jump right in here...Not sure if you knew this but I was actually cast to be in the new Hunger Games movie. [Insert uncontrollable laughter] Unfortunately, after shooting, the producers had a little sit down with me and said, "Ya know Alaina, we just aren't sure you 'get' what this movie is about...its about fighting to the death, not running around giving everyone makeovers..." Then I was like, "Yo.Yo.Yo. That's just what I do"....Then they made me leave..hahaha
Needless to say they cut me from the movie, but luckily for YOU, I was able to retrieve some valuable footage.

Please enjoy as I make a mad dash for the one weapon that can ensure my survival.....

Right now you are thinking...'If this was a book, I wouldn't be able to put it down'

No one will ever get between me and my kit! (side note: I grass stained my pants right here...it was liberating)

YES!! All those fools that went for knives and flame throwers are in BIG TROUBLE!

Killing Em With Fineness!!!!!


Hold Your Applause Till The End Folks! We still have a super awesome makeup tutorial to get through...its about to get real serious!


Don't we just love Katniss Everdeen's natural radiance and beauty? Isn't it just amazing that she looks so fantastic without makeup?....Well...And you might want to sit down for this...That girl is COVERED in makeup! Yes it is an illusion my friends, but today you shall learn the wizardry that is the "No-Makeup, Makeup".....Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you Katniss Everdeen, The Girl On Fire!!!

1) Moisturize your face, neck, and chest
2) Choose a light weight, radiant finish liquid base that matches your complexion. I recommend a tinted moisturizer, or a BB cream. You want your skin to shine through...especially any cute little freckles. Cover your entire face lightly.
3) Choose another foundation or a concealer in a slightly lighter shade. This needs to be lighter than your skin tone. Use a concealer brush to apply under your eyes, across your brow bone (under you eyebrow), and lightly down both sides of your nose and across the tops of your cheeks. This is a contouring technique that will open up your face and accentuate your cheek and brow bones. Blend. blend. blend
4) Dust a very light vale of powder to set. Make sure to use a loose brush not a sponge.
5) Dust bronzer across your forehead and on the lower half of your face (bottom of cheek bone and below). Avoid areas you applied the concealer.

6) Choose a very neutral blush. Any blush will work as long as it is similar to what is pictured above. Apply the blush on your cheek bones, use the center of your eye as a starting point and move out toward your ear.
7) Choose a light brown eyeliner and carefully apply a line on top in your lash line. Use your finger to soften the line. Do the same on bottom. Be sure to stop the line where the lashes end, which is usually the center of the iris. Only draw your line in the lashes. You are creating an illusion that lengthens and thickens your lashes, but you do not want an apparent line.
8) Put a very light coat of mascara on top lashes (now is not the time to go all Snookie)
9) Choose a matte finish lipstick similar in shade to your blush. I highly recommend Estee Lauder's Double Wear Stay Blush. It is stunning, and as close as it gets to the shade Katniss is wearing.
10) Don't forget to fill in you brows. This brings everything together :)
TADA!!!

What do you think? I absolutely love this look. In reality it is perfect for the Spring and Summer, it feels amazing, and it is super quick and easy to do.


And Finally, I am going to hit ya with a little bit of cuteness....My Dear Friend's baby, Sweet Little Autumn Rose:) Awww I'm obsessed!

So tell me what you think and feel free to ask questions! And if you like what you see, please go on and share this blog with your friends..I would absolutely LOVE IT! :)
