Alright babes, let’s get straight to it! Today, we’re talking PEACH 🍑—and if you’re anything like me, you know peach is life for summer and spring. Because who doesn’t love a light, warm, peachy glow that says “I’m sunkissed and stylish”?
And even though a peach-toned makeup vibe might sound like “oh no, not another tutorial,” trust me, this version is ALL about that fresh pop of color without looking like actual fruit salad. I’ve gotchu—whether it’s for a first date, hanging at the beach with your besties, or literally any other reason to look like your face was kissed by the sunset. Let’s dive into this delish look with that #GlowUp that works for everyone!
Step 1: Prep that Skin!
We cannot—let me repeat—we cannot skip skin prep. It’s like laying down the perfect foundation for a house, but THIS is your glow that’ll last all day. ✨ Hydration is the key to making your skin look like you’re vibing from the inside out.
Let’s start with a 🔥 moisturizer. If you’re more of a dewy babe, go with something richer. For my oily friends, grab a mattifying moisturizer, but something light. We want smooth, happy skin—less grease, more glow.
My Go-To Skin Prep
- Moisturizer: ALWAYS. Make sure your skin’s locked’n loaded, looking supple but not oily, ya feel?
- Primer: Silicone, water-based, whatever primer your skin vibes with, we’re using it to keep this look in place. I loveeee a peach-scented primer ’cause we gotta keep the theme on brand, duh!
Quick tip? Don’t over-moisturize or you risk foundation slippage, and we’re not about that life.
Glowy skin is literally *everything* for a peachy make-up look—that’s why hydrating from the very startup is key.
Step 2: Let’s Get That Base!
Foundation time, babes! It’s all about a radiant, dewy look to complement the peach tones in your makeup—not a heavy cake-up, but something that gives you a natural, skin-like finish. Go with something medium coverage, and ideally, a formula that reflects light.
Foundation Time
Here’s where I’ve got suggestions for different skin vibes:
| Skin Type | Foundation Recommendations |
|---|---|
| Oily (like, girl, it’s humid!) | Matte or oil-free, light-buildable like Fenty Pro Filt’r |
| Dry Skin (give me moisture!) | Hydrating/dewy. Luminous silk, yes ma’am. Try Nars Sheer Glow! |
| Combo Queens | Lightweight Buildable (do both matte and glow!) |
Dab a bit and blend with your fave sponge or brush, making sure you’re focusin’ on keeping it fresh, not cakey. Blend people, blend for your LIFE 🤩.
Okay—and here’s where we go for a little extra flawless finish. Take your concealer and hit those extra areas you need brightened under the eyes, along the nose, and maybe a tiny bit on your forehead. I go for a concealer only about a half shade lighter than my base because we still want everything to melt together and look natural.
Don’t sleep on blending! You want your make-up to whisper, not scream: “Heyyyy, I’m right here!”
Step 3: Setting the Base
Let’s LOCK 🔐 this so nobody’s sweat-proofing us with that unexpected Instagram flash!
Set lightly with translucent powder. Make sure not to bake too hard, or we’ll have a dry, crusty situation—and trust me, your peachy look is not about that. I lightly dab a bit of powder with a big fluffy brush, focusing on the T-zone (that forehead, nose, and chin). After that, mist with setting spray! I’m currently obsessed with setting sprays that have a subtle glow mist built in—it keeps everything sealed but still radiant!
Hot Tip Alert:
Use a powder puff or beauty blender to lightly press powder into the skin, rather than rubbing, to lock that foundation and keep the glow. Shimmery powder? THROW IT! Just kidding (wait, kinda NOT kidding—no random glitter).
Step 4: Peachy Eyes That Pop!
Now the eyes—this is where we start bringing in our peach fantasy, people. You can keep it subtle or go full peach vibe—both looks work! Here’s my makeup mantra: make your look work for YOU. So choose today whether you’re going soft and subtle, or a little extra ✨.
Start with a peachy-toned eyeshadow palette (I have way too many options tbh—choiceszzz 💁). Try shades leaning into soft oranges, corals, and warm peaches from light to dark. Blend a nice light peach color all over the lids—it should be your base shade blended into the crease. If you’re feeling fancy, add some shimmer or gold highlights at the center of the lids for some extra attention-grabbin’ ✨.
- Use a matte peach for your lid.
- We’ll deepen it up with maybe a burnt orange or terracotta shadow in the crease. Let it blend seamlessly. #BlendersUnite.
- Slight shimmer on top and hit them inner corners with something extra glimmer-shiny. I LOVE doing a soft pink-y or champagne shimmer just under the brow bone to give those arches a lil’ love.
And for an extra kick: swish some soft pink or peach tones along the lower lash line to pull everything together. Trust me, you will not regret this cozy, warm-toned goodness!
Mascara + Brows
Mascara time! Add several coats of a super-defining mascara. I like mine with that lift and curl magic. Or, if you’re a full-glam girl, pop on some wispy lashes. Nothing too dramatic—just something to give your eyes that flirty vibe 👁️👁️.
Brows? Let’s keep them natural today. Lightly fill ‘em in with a soft brow pencil or powder for a fluffy, effortless look. No sharpie brows here, please! Brush through with brow gel or clear mascara to keep them set but still soft.
Step 5: Peachy Flush of Blush 🍑
Now let’s bring it to LIFE. It’s time for blush, AKA the key player in our peach-toned dream. Grab your favorite peachy-coral blush (any brand, high-end or drugstore, as long as it brings the glow). Sweep it across your cheekbones in that C-shape, starting just under the hairline by your ear and coming in towards the apples of your cheeks. Don’t be too shy with the peach, either—this look is about celebrating that color and livin’ your freest glow-up!
You want it to be soft like you’re just casually glowing out here. #PeachyVibes, ya know?
My fave peach blush picks right now:
| Blush Brand | Tone | Why we love it |
|---|---|---|
| Milani Baked Blush | Glimmering Peach | So glowy and affordable, we stan. |
| NARS “Orgasm” | Sheer Pinky-Peach | Iconic! Glow-glow-glow-up level 💅 |
| Fenty Beauty “Daiquiri Dip” | Bold Coral-Peach | Bold on the color, but never intense. |
Step 6: Highlighter for THAT Extra Glow
We want to look like a natural sun goddess that’s been basking in summer ALL day. So grab a champagne or peachy-toned highlighter and hit the high points of your face. Focus on the tops of your cheekbones, tip and bridge of the nose, and a little on that Cupid’s bow so your lip gloss gets extra attention 🌟.
Again, glowy—not glitter face.
Trust me: the right highlighter will have you feelin’ like you walked straight out of a K-pop video shoot, glowing on another level.
Step 7: Lips Done Right – Soft Peach Pout
Time to finish with the lips! Peach tones for lips are like a warm hug—you don’t know you needed it till ya try ‘em.
Go for a peachy nude lip gloss if you love some shine (let’s be real: who doesn’t love some shine?). Or if you’re feelin’ a little extra, a matte coral peach lipstick is stunning for more drama.
For a simple, kiss-me-peachy vibe:
- Apply a peach-toned lip liner first. Line just outside your natural lip line to make your lips look a bit fuller (but we ain’t overlining like it’s 2016, please and thank you 🙅♀️).
- Then hit it with a matching peachy lipstick or gloss that’s either sheer or slightly-matte. My faves? Fenty Gloss Bomb in “Fenty Glow” or Too Faced Peach Puff.
And DON’T forget a lil dab of highlighter on your Cupid’s bow! Insta-worthy guaranteed 😊. 💋
Step 8: Set & SLAY
The very last step: setting spray. This makes everything come together so we stay locked in but still look that glowy, dewy perfection. One final spritz and you’re on your way, peach goddess!
Set it and literally forget it! Because who wants to worry about their face sliding off halfway through the day? Not us, girl, not us 💅.
So there you have it, babes! This peachy-toned look is just what you need to rock those summer days and sweet, glowy nights. It’s fun, fresh, and it works for everyone (plus it’s Insta-goals AF). Test it out and tag me in those selfies—I wanna see how you all SLAY it! 💖
Happy glammin’, cuties!
