Sweet Peaches: Glowing Peach Shades For Summer!

23 June 2015

The title of this entry is dedicated to my late guinea pig, Peaches. I love you, my sweet princess peachy.



Peach tones are sweet for Summer time. Peach is a colour every skin tone can pull off. It adds a youthful flush and perfect summer glow to any complexion.

Here's my top favourites for eyes, face and lips.  Best of all, there's something for every budget.




ELF Baked Shadow in Pixie

Long lasting, crease-free, strongly pigmented dusky peach shadow with golden-pink undertones.



Urban Decay Shadow Box - Free Love 

Super pigmented golden coral with a buildable, soft finish.







MAC - Free To Be

Burned Pink-Coral with a matte finish. A little tricky to blend but because the pigmentation can be built up it's ideal for those who prefer a softer application.




Smashbox Double Exposure Palette - Quartz

Soft, muted white-gold peach with a reflective finish. 







Sleek - Rose Gold Blush

Highly pigmented, soft, blendable peach blush with a subtle shimmery gold finish.

 


ELF Studio Blush And Bronzer In St Lucia

A classic duo by ELF providing a coral toned blush with subtle shimmer and bronzer. The bronzer is a little bit too dark for my complexion but I adore the blush. It gives a very healthy glow to the skin without being overwhelming.




Sleek Face Contour Kit - Light

A perfect trio arranged into one slim purse-friendly compact. Featuring matte contouring powder (perfect for fairer skinned people!) and a beautiful golden highlighter to add definition. The blush is very similar to Rose Gold but carries a lighter peach finish for a youthful glow. Perfect for travel!



ELF Cream Blush in Tease

Soft, whipped formula that blends seamlessly with a brush or clean fingers. Creates a natural peach flush. Don't be intimidated by its dark appearance, this is actually very buildable so can be applied as lightly or as deeply as preferred! (Currently these seem to only be available in selected stores)






Peach lipstick is playful and pretty. Shades can be muted by dabbing the product on to the lip with the finger to create a stain or applied directly for a pigmented, bolder finish.

For those looking to experiment with peach lip colour but not quite ready for lipsticks, try the Sleek Pout Polish Lip Conditioner in Peach Perfection

These contain SPF to protect your lips and a sheer amount of colour to give an innocent flush to the lips. Peach Perfection is a sheer nude glossy finish.





If brighter colour is more your style then look no further than Make Up Academy's Nectar lipstick. Not only cheap but it's incredibly similar to MAC's Costa Chic and only costs £1. Ideal for those on a budget and it's a super flattering peach-coral shade!






MAC's Costa Chic is a summer classic frost finish deep peachy coral. The depth of the colour will add definition whilst the playful coral tones brighten up the lips.





Super Pigmented Coquette by Lime Crime is a delightful nude peach. Flattering for all skin tones and highly pigmented and long lasting for days in the sun.




YSL Rouge Volupte lipsticks are an investment and in all honesty these aren't my favourite finish as they can be a little drying. HOWEVER, this soft apricot shade is certainly very pretty and ideal for those who love lighter shades. I recommend wearing a lip balm underneath.
