Simple and Sweet

A useful tip when wearing peach tones is to swap out powder for cream products, instead. The reason? Cream blends effortlessly onto the skin and doesn't streak, making it the right formula to use when pressed for time.

This makeup look can easily be re-created by using the above multipurpose stick from Ilia. Apply the product directly on eyes and cheeks, following up with your finger or a soft brush to blend. Add the same product to your lips by lightly blotting with your finger. Need more definition? Apply black eyeliner to the top lash line and a few coats of your favorite mascara.

Pigmented Peach

Intensifying peach tones on the eyes and pairing them with a dramatic winged eyeliner is a sure-fire way to make a statement and can be fun when wanting to go more bold with your color choices.

With brighter peach on the eyes and more muted tones on the cheeks and lips, this makeup look is ideal when you want to draw a little more attention to your perfectly applied makeup by making a statement. MAC's Single Eyeshadow in Suspiciously Sweet, applied all over the eyelids and into the crease, will do the trick.

If you need a little more practice applying winged eyeliner, try using this Vamp Stamp Winged Eyeliner Stamp ($32), instead of a traditional liquid liner. The stamp helps you create the perfect wing every time and you'll be a pro in no time at all.

True to its name, Milk Makeup's Lip + Cheek is ideal for use on both cheeks and lips. When applying highlighter, be sure to blend it on areas of the face where the sun would naturally hit—think cheekbones, above the cupid's bow, and brow bone.

Sunset Peach

The peach, red, and plum color scheme here works beautifully together to showcase that peach doesn't need to be the center of attention to still turn heads.

To showcase the bold colors here, apply a white eyeshadow primer first to lids before moving on to makeup. This will allow the color of the shadow to look more intense. Once you've applied it, you can move on to eyeshadow, using something like the above option from Anastasia Beverly Hills.
