The Hunger Games Beauty: Effie's Signature Capitol Looks this week, you probably left the theater trying to figure out two things: 1.) Am I really on Team Peeta? (no one warned us Gale would look We talked to the film's lead makeup artist Ve Neill (who's also responsible for characters like Edward Scissorhands and Captain Jack Sparrow), for her inspiration behind Effie's three signature Capitol looks. Consider your next Halloween costume done. The Reaping Neill, who tried to stay as true to the book's description of Effie as she could, was concerned she would look clownish in the impoverished area of District 12.
