GIVEAWAY, Preview: Make Up For Ever Beauty Products Used On The Set of Hunger Games Movie

With the Hunger Games hitting theaters this month, we were able to get some sneak peeks at the cosmetics used on set. If you haven’t noticed already in the trailer, there are some distinct looks that are sure to catch your attention; whether it be Katniss’ smooth, perfectly contoured complexion or Effie’s bright eyes and powdered white face applied with Elizabethan precision, these looks are going to have us makeup mavens here at BeautyStat guessing which products were used.
Make Up For Ever was the brand of choice used on set — understandably so, what for the line’s range of color and long-wearing formulas. Special effects makeup artist Ve Neill — best known for her work on movies such as Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands, and, most recently, a judge on the Syfy reality show Face Off — was head of the makeup department for the film and was able to tell us some of the key items she used to capture these looks.
Cinna (played by Lenny Kravitz)
As Katniss Everdeen’s stylist for her Hunger Games campaigns, the man has to look the part. For the film, Cinna’s look was less obvious in his fashion-forward demeanor. His upper lash line was outlined with Make Up For Ever’s Metal Powder #1 (used as an eyeliner) giving him a subtle edge.
Katniss (played by Jennifer Lawrence)

Although Katniss spends a majority of the film running and fighting for her life, with little time to worry about a full face of makeup, Ve Neill used an array of Make Up For Ever’s HD Invisible Cover Foundation ($40.00) shades — giving her skin tone different color effects throughout the film. Neill also used Make Up For Ever’s HD Microfinish Blush in #9 as a highlighter for her cheeks, as seen during her interview scene with Caesar Flickerman.
Effie (played by Elizabeth Banks)

As the disturbing hostess with the mostess, Effie’s look is just as peculiar as she is. Usually donning bright colors of eyeshadow and doll-like applied lipstick, her look is something to take notice of. Neill knew she had a lot of colors to keep vibrant and long-lasting, so most of her makeup was sealed with Make Up For Ever’s Eye Seal ($21.00), mixing it with pigments to make sure they were waterproof during shooting.

it would have to be mascara, it opens up my eyes.
thanks
That looks awesome!
I would have the MUFE HD Foundation!!
Lip gloss because it keeps my lips shiny and healthy. They are dry but lip gloss gives them a shine!
Ohmygosh, only ONE??? Hmmm, I guess it would be a powdered bronzer because I could use it to add some color to my face, highlight my cheek bones, apply a little to my lips and eye lids – a perfect multi-tasker!
Love all the makeup from the movie! Love jennifer lawrence natural look! Would love to win any of these products!
i would have to have my burts lip balm. it will nurish my lips and cuticles!
HD invisible cover foundation would make this mommy of 4 soon to be 5 kiddos look great =)

I would take the HD foundation with me hands down. Having a smooth, clear complexion would be very important with all those cameras following you around!
the HD foundation to make my skin look well rested and flawless!
A multiuse blush stick so I can use it on the lips and eyes.
The only make-up product that I would take would be concealer because we would be fighting for our lives, but still every district would be watching, so I wouldn’t want them to see my dark circles. And I don’t think Eye shadow matters when you are trying to win your life.
I can’t leave the house without undereye concealer, liner and mascara!! Always moisturize too!!
Invisible cover foundation!
I would bring along the Aqua Color Black so I could have a multi use product, make mascara and liner out of it as well as use it as a shadow and under eyes to shield the sun! Plus it could make myself look badass to hopefully scare off the competitors!
I would bring the “HD elixir” with me! I want my complexion to look healthy and hydrated so this is the instant product for that
.
Thank you & GL to all <3
Tinted moisturizer, it gives me a healthy glow & soft skin!

Hi BeautyStat, thanks for doing the Hunger Games make-up giveaway contest. I’ve already “Liked” BeautyStat on Facebook and shared the BeautyStat Facebook page to my Facebook community. If I were to bring one make-up product to the Hunger Games, it would be my Aveeno Positively Radiant SPF 30 sunscreen daily moisturizer, as cheesy as it sounds, I apply a layer of sunscreen on my face everyday, even during the winter, and I don’t anything without applying on moisturizer first. Why not do a 2 in 1 product. Thus, Aveeno sunscreen is my absolute favorite product and is my life.

I shared with my friends too!
Definitely MUFE HD Foundation….with all the cameras & the whole world watching…..a girl needs to look her best!
Lipstick!
Eyeliner for sure. I dont know where I’d be without it!

Mascara, for sure! I’m blonde and without mascara, my blonde lashes just get lost in all my lightness. The blacker the better to pop out the blues. :-0
I’d have to say my brow pencil. The older I get, the more sparse my brows are. =(
I would bring concealer because it would hide any imperfections
Oooh i am going to have to go with foundation with spf in it so i dont look all red and blotchy on camera. Although if i could have two, i would add mascara for sure

I would take the HD Foundation!
Mascara makes my lashes longer and fuller! Already a fan
If had to choose it would have to be lipgloss… more specifically MACs Boy Bait or Victorias Secret’s Slice of Heaven. I can not go anywhere without lipgloss and even when my lips feel like they are getting dry I can just apply more of these without a lip balm even and it still does the trick!
My one makeup item would be mascara, because without it my eyes look dull and small. Mascara widens my eyes and makes my face look brighter and more youthful.
