Official Hunger Games site Capitol Couture has been updated with an interview with make-up artist Ve Neill who designed Seneca Crane’s beard for the film.
In it, she discusses how she came up with the idea:
How did Seneca’s beard become his defining feature?
When I was brought in as Seneca’s make-up artist, I kept staring at his face — and all I could think about was a beard, the most magnificent beard that the Capitol has ever seen. I thought that in his first year as Head Gamemaker, he should be gorgeous and striking in a very severe way, and I knew the beard would do it — it became the focal point of his persona.What inspired the sublime contours of the beard?
Seneca has the most magnificent steel blue eyes — they are literally mesmerizing. The beard frames them so delicately — it is truly the icing on the cake.
Neill also provides tips on how to get the look for yourself:
Any tips on how to DIY at home?
For the best results, get a colored pencil to draw in your lines. You will need a set of small clippers and small personal hand trimmer. It’s not the easiest thing to do — I suggest you get a friend to help.
