Realised I have never done a look with peaches and pinks before so I shall give it a try today. This look mainly features some Illamasqua Eyeshadows and my current favourite foundation routine using Make Up For Ever HD products. It gives me the most ultimate camera-ready complexion all the time and I am loving it.
For face: I prep my face Make Up For Ever HD Primer in #2 which will help reduce the redness I have. This is particularly useful when doing a look with peaches and pinks so the colours will pop. Applied foundation and conceal all spots. I am trying to achieve a more flawless base for this look as anything red (like spots) will take away the attention from the eyes. I also applied a little concealer around the corners of the nose, chin and sides of the lips. Powder over with Make Up For Ever HD Powder to set the foundation.
For eyes: I start off by applying a white eyeliner as a base for the eyeshadows. I used Illamasqua Powder Eyeshadow in Slink as a highlighter under the brow bones and inner corners of the eyes. Gently pat Illamasqua Powder Eyeshadow in Trollop all over the eye lids up to the crease. Define the outer corners of the eyes with a hint of brown eyeshadow, here I am using NARS Powder Eyeshadow in Bali – remember, a little will do, we don’t want it to overpower the peaches and pinks. Further define the crease with Illamasqua Powder Eyeshadow in Lick. Finish the eyes with eyeliner and some false eyelashes. I added some white eyeliner on the lower lash line and pat on a little MAC Mega Metal Shadow in Tweet Me on the centre of the eye lids to give it more dimension.
For cheeks & lips: I kept more of everything else very simple and subtle. You can go for something bright if you like. I used Illamasqua Powder Blusher in Rumour to contour my cheeks and MAC Mineralize Blush in Utterly Game on the apples of my cheeks to add a little colour. Finish off with a nude beige lipstick, here I am using Shiseido Shimmering Rouge in BE702.
Thank you for reading and let me know if you are going to try this fun look.

Sorry Joey, I don’t like BE702 on you; It’s too frosty & makes your lips a bit washed out. Rumour looks pretty on your cheeks though.
I thought something wasn’t right with this look too you know?
Was thinking about the lip colour but couldn’t think of what other colours that would match.
Any suggestions?
Something deeper like brown or brick red
Why didn’t I think of brick red?
Thank you David!!
