Tributes turned out in Los Angeles for the “The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping” screening and red carpet, and the beauty moments delivered. McKenna Grace’s look stood out, pairing a dress that pays homage to Katniss Everdeen’s iconic Catching Fire look with a dramatic eye to match.
“I was immediately drawn to the deep red feathers on McKenna’s dress and wanted that color to hit like a little spotlight in the center of her lids. It was a subtle nod to Katniss’s Capitol gala look in Catching Fire,” Hernandez shares.
Celebrity makeup artist Melissa Hernandez, known for her work with A-list clients — Amanda Seyfried, Mikey Madison, and Olivia Rodrigo — created the look using Stila Cosmetics, the film’s official makeup sponsor. She reached for pieces from the Stila x The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping collaboration, including Eyeshadow “Fauna” and Heaven’s Dew All Over Glimmer in Rainbow, plus a few Stila brand favorites, all available to shop now.
