Stila X The Hunger Games Makeup Looks: How to Recreate Them with Stila

The Capitol may be known for its extravagant beauty, but The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping is bringing a fresh take on Panem-inspired makeup, and Stila is at the centre of it. As the film’s exclusive makeup partner, Stila has created a limited-edition collection that translates the characters, colours and drama of the new film into wearable beauty looks.

From smoky, softly defined eyes to icy blue lids, vivid liner and high-shine sparkle, the collection moves between understated and unapologetically bold. And if the first campaign images are anything to go by, there’s a distinctly retro, Twiggy-inspired quality to some of the looks too, think graphic lashes, defined eyes and playful colour with a modern Stila finish.

Whether you want to channel the rebellious edge of Rebel Beauty, go full statement with Pretty Striking, or experiment with the icy glamour of Epic Beauty, here’s how to recreate some of the standout Hunger Games makeup looks at home.

Get the Look: Rebel Beauty

The Rebel Beauty look is all about softly smoked definition with a polished, modern finish. The eyes take centre stage, combining a warm, neutral Stila Eye Shadow in Fauna with deep, multidimensional liner for a sultry effect that feels wearable rather than overly dramatic.

Start by sweeping Eye Shadow in Fauna across the lids, building the colour through the crease for subtle depth. Define the upper lash line with Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner in Intense Labradorite to intensify the inner and outer corners. 

Finish the eyes with Huge Extreme Lash Mascara in Intense Black to add definition and volume. The combination creates the softly smudged, elongated eye shape seen in the look.

Keep the complexion fresh and luminous with Heaven’s Hue Highlighter in Rosy Dream, sweeping it across the high points of the cheekbones. For the final touch, add warmth and colour with Convertible Color Dual Lip & Cheek Cream in Poppy for the perfect pop of colour.

Get the Look: Epic Beauty

For something more playful, the Epic Beauty look turns up the colour with an icy blue lid, crisp black liner and a touch of rainbow sparkle. It has a distinctly retro feel, but the high-impact finish makes it feel right at home in a modern makeup routine.

Begin by applying Liqua-Play Eye Shadow in Atria across the lid, concentrating the pale blue shade from the lash line towards the crease. The cream-to-powder formula creates an even wash of colour while giving the eyes that distinctive cool-toned finish.

Next, sharpen the eye with Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner in Intense Black, following the natural lash line and extending the outer corner slightly for a graphic effect. Add Stay All Day Smudge & Set Waterproof Gel Eye Liner in Marshmallow to brighten and define the lower waterline, creating the wide-eyed contrast that makes this look so striking.

For extra dimension, press Heaven’s Dew All Over Glimmer in Rainbow onto the lids and inner corners. The iridescent finish catches the light without taking away from the blue base. Finish with a Convertible Color Nourishing Liqua-Tint for a fresh flush of colour across the cheeks and lips.

Get the Look: Pretty Striking

If you're looking for the most playful take on Hunger Games makeup, Pretty Striking is the one to try. Inspired by the bold beauty of the Capitol, this look combines vivid colour, graphic definition and a glossy, light-catching finish. 

Start by creating a clean, defined eye with Stay All Day InkWear Liquid Eye Liner in Electric Sky. The electric blue shade brings an unexpected hit of colour to the lash line, while its shimmer adds another dimension to the look.

For maximum impact, keep the line crisp and slightly elongated at the outer corner.

Next, layer Heaven's Dew All Over Glimmer in Rainbow onto the lids or inner corners. Its translucent base and multidimensional pearls create a glossy, iridescent effect that catches the light without feeling heavy.

It can also be layered over eye shadow when you want to intensify the shine. Finish with Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Fiery, a vivid ruby-red that brings a strong pop of colour to the lips.
