        Before the second Catching Fire came out Covergirl had put together a make up collection for the movie. Not only are the colors bright, but also this is the make up they had used on the actually movie set.  With make up artist like Ve Neil working on the set with this make up you just know that it is going to be amazing. In fact I am very angry they the movie was not up for an Oscar. Now this make up you can still find on the shelf, Covergirl has made it apart of their main collection, it’s called the Flamed out Collection and for particular colors for each district you can look up the looks which are still on covergirl.com.

       A lot of people were getting upset at when the promos first came out because they hated the capital. Well let’s be honest that were all the fun fashion is and make up is about having fun. It is pretty silly to hate the make up line because look at Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks), she looked fabulous with all of the colors they had used and it was also so bold and unafraid which is what make up is about.

         The actually make up works a lot better then Covergirl use to. The brand has been trying to make sure that they become a better product like Mac and Urban Decay. It is not quite up there but I think it works much better then a lot of the make up that is out in Target or Wal-Mart. I only bought a few things from the collection because like most collection not all of it is to my taste. I bought the Flamed Out  Red Hot shadow and pencil shadow along with the white pencil shadow called Crystal Flame to complete the Katniss President ball look. I used my Urban Decay Primer and for the red shadow the I used of both them, which allowed the make up to stay for 12 hours without any smudges or creases. It lasted as well as any of my other eye shadows.  I was pleasantly surprised that it worked so well. The white also worked very well. Most of the time Covergirl whites are never bright enough for me but this was not the case with this pencil shadow stick.

         Aside from those shadows I had bought the gold liner like Cinnas called Gold Flame. It works alright. I wasn’t too happy that it wasn’t bright enough on my bottom water line but on the top it was very bright. I had found that it took a few layers to get it the right color that I wanted. I was more into having a bright gold eye since that was all that was going on. I have paired it with different gold colors, different ones from the collection, such as a Mac gold and my primer Greed from Urban Decay, which doubles as an eye shadow.

             For a drug store brand these colors worked pretty well. My sister was not happy with the Gold Flame on its on but I suggest that you buy the pencil shadow that goes with the dry shadow to get the best wear. It might seem like it’s a lot for something from Covergirl but it is well worth the 8-10 dollars for both.  It is hard to find a red that pigmented enough to be red for along period of time and with the duo of both you can have a long wear and bright colors. My look are below.
