VIDEO TUTORIAL: 'Hunger Games' Inspired Makeup

When fans first saw the trailer for The Hunger Games, perhaps the most striking visual (aside from the 10-second countdown to iminent danger) was the posh, pink look of Elizabeth Banks as Effie Trinket.

See trailer here.

Banks spent three hours a day in a makeup chair through weeks of filming to create the unqiue — high-concept — look of the capital city of Panem.

Patch can help you recreate that look in under five minutes. Just watch the video above. The tutorial will help you stand out, if you plan on dressing in character for The Hunger Game's opening weekend.

If you are dressing up for the premier, post your photos to this story by clicking the "upload" link above.
