Hello everyone, I have a sort of coral theme look for you today as this season is all about coral, peaches and oranges.
This look is fresh and easy to achieve – great for a day out with girlfriends, brunch or shopping. You can always switch up the lips for a more daring and dramatic result or you can skip the mint green highlight to keep the look more simple. But for me, I am loving the mint green highlight – I think that’s the key for this look.
Hope you like it.
Face
- Prep face with a primer to add radiance to skin.
-
Apply foundation to even up skin tone.
-
Set rest of the face with loose powder or lightly dust some press powder to set with a big, fluffy brush.
Eyes
Quick and easy despite the look of it. Featuring the Dior 1 Couleur Eye Gloss in 560 Tan and 750 Sunset – these eye glosses are very easy to blend.
-
Apply Sunset all over the lids and blend to soften edges.
-
Apply Tan to the outer 1/3 of the lids and blend together with Sunset.
-
Tight line upper lash line with a black eyeliner – you can choose to use a deep brown if black is too strong for your liking.
-
Apply a brown eyeliner along the upper lids and soften edges with Tan.
-
Line 2/3 of your lower lash line with a brown eyeliner.
-
Blend to soften edges and darken the outer 2/3 of the lower lash line with Tan.
-
Apply Sunset to 1/3 of the lower lash line.
-
Apply Chanel Illusion D’Ombre in 87 Riviére to the inner corners of the eyes and blend upwards.
-
Apply mascara and some false eyelashes if needed.
Cheeks
For this look, I went for slightly more sculpted cheeks with a pop of coral and a little shimmer. This will help bring the entire look together.
-
Sculpt cheek bones with Illamasqua Powder Blusher in Rumour.
-
Apply a coral blush slightly above contour (hallows of the cheeks) and blend upwards.
-
Mix the two lightest shades from Burberry Sheer Summer Glow Natural Highlighting Compact and apply it on the highest points of the cheek bones.
Lips
- Prep lips with lip balm/primer/lip essence.
-
Use a lip pencil to shape your lips
-
Apply lipstick to complete this look.
Thank you for looking.

Joey you look great! Gorgeous!
Thank you Kris =)
I like the idea with the highlight!
Hi Ra,
Yes, it changes a look instantly..
I think a sky blue highlight will look as good too =)
Hi again Joey, can I ask for a favour? Can you please compare the greenish shade from Nars Habanera duo with Chanel Illusion D’ombre in Riviere colour-wise? Thank you!
Hi Ra,
Will post both swatches for you =)
Great look Joey. I love the eye look a lot.
Thank you Jacqueline =)
This eye look is quite versatile, try it!!
I noticed your bling! congrats!
Hi dear,
Ha.. That’s not the one I am afraid =(
I love this look, Joey 🙂 Rivière reminds me of the mint/blue side of Nars Habanera duo 🙂
Thank you Cindy =)
Riviére is more luminous and translucent but they are both gorgeous mints!!
Haha I just saw this! So I think the colours are quite similar. Thank you!
How long is the staying power for Dior eyeglosses?
Hi dear,
Dior Eye Glosses have a powdery finish, they lasts pretty well on me – no creasing nor fading in 8 hours..
But I don’t usually have issues with creasing or fading..
I try to wear an eyeshadow primer whenever I remember tho..
Because of their powdery finish, it’s best not to rub or touch the eyes because they are not smudge-proof IMO..
Hope this helped..
lovely summer looks!
Thank you =)
