Gold eyeliner is known for making a comeback every summer with its exotic, gorgeous glow, and this year its popularity has peaked. Gold eyeliner has been everywhere, from models on the runway, to Cinna in the Hunger Games. This year its been inspiring makeup users everywhere to try something new. I know I was dying to try out this new trend, and I can’t say I was disappointed. Gold is one of those few universally flattering colors that actually works with all skin tones.

But with makeup companies coming out with gold eyeliners every minute, it’s easy to get confused. There are so many different choices for us, it can be hard to know which to pass up, and which products are actually worth binging on. So, I went ahead and put together a handy dandy list of budget friendly gold eyeliner options for you lovely readers, as well as a few pricier ones for those of you willing to splurge.

Liquid (best for dramatic night looks)

  • Steal- NYX Liquid Crystal Glitter Liner in Gold $4.50
  • Splurge- Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Liner in Baked $18.00

Look for less: Katniss Everdeen/The Hunger Games

I’ve been hooked on the hunger games (both the books and movie) for a while now and I actually watched the movie twice (watching something as fab as THG only once just isn’t enough!). Not only is the movie filled with breath-taking, sitting- on- the- edge- of- your- seat- scenes, and the actors are exactly as I imagined them to be, but the movie has some great fashion as well!

No matter if you are a die-hard fan or simply love to recreate the styles of fictional characters, no one can resist the charm of Jennifer Lawrence’s wardrobe as Katniss Everdeen.

Casual and comfortable pieces such as sporty jackets and cargo pants, distressed leather jackets and combat boots and the popular Katniss braids (aka double braids) consist of the most edgy and fab wardrobes I’ve seen lately.

Here are a few examples on how to recreate her style for less.

A unique mix between military and edgy, her outfits can easily be recreated by adding just a few must-have pieces to your wardrobe.

I found five different kinds of combat boots for you: simple black ones, khaki ones and the trendier, chic version of them in brown and beige suede.

Not to forget that they are all under $50. Click each picture to be taken to their website…

 

Finding a simple black t-shirt/top is a piece of cake for most of us, however finding a khaki top was a lot harder than I thought. I decided to go with three different choices: a simple casual one and one that is a bit more chic and girly for all of you who don’t want to lose your femininity.

 

Regarding her jacket collection I divided it into leather jackets and sporty ones since she sported both in the movie.

Last but not least for the die-hard fans, you’ll need a sporty bag, mockingjay pin and braids.

    

I chose a sporty black bag, a simpler one for you who don’t want to go sporty but just get a bit inspired by Katniss’s style and of course the original pin.
