Glimmer, District 1 Tribute Makeup Tutorial

In honor of the release of the Hunger Games on DVD which is coming in the next few weeks, I decided to create another Hunger Games inspired look! This makeup is inspired by Glimmer, the District 1 female tribute. She is all about glamour and being flirty and sexy so I drew inspiration from her description in the book and the outfits that she wore for the Opening Ceremonies and the Interviews. Hope you guys enjoy and don't forget to check out the video tutorial on My YouTube Channel!
