How to Wear Peach Eye Makeup

Peach makeup is one of the most universally flattering beauty trends. What started as the must-have peach hair color trend has quickly turned into spring’s hottest eye shadow hue, too! From daytime smoky eyes to nighttime cut creases, peach eye shadow is about to become your go-to. All of the hues associated with this fresh, juicy fruit—from the pale coral of a perfectly ripe peach to the neutral flesh tones of the inside—are being embraced so that nothing is overlooked when it comes to this mouth-watering, eye-catching look. Below, we share a few easy ways to get in on the peach eye shadow trend and create a peachy makeup look—so, grab your makeup bag and follow along so you can look sweet as a peach in no time! 

HOW TO DO A PEACH SMOKY EYE

Who said smoky eyes had to be dark and mysterious? With various shades of peach, you’ll be able to achieve depth and definition without looking overdone for a look that can easily translate from desk to drinks.

Get the look by following these simple steps:

Step 1: Start with primer

The key to any solid statement eye is helping to ensure that it stays put for whatever the day has in store. The best way to do that? Using a long-lasting eye primer to help give your shadow something to adhere to. With just a dab of primer, you can help prevent your makeup from transferring.

Step 2: Pick your peaches

To get this look, you’ll want one light peach shade and one that’s slightly darker. The texture and vibrancy are totally up to you. You can go with super bright peach shades for a more fluorescent look, or you can veer towards more neutral shades, like those featured in the L’Oréal Paris Paradise Enchanted Scented Eyeshadow Palette.

Step 3: Use your lighter peach shade first

Using an eye shadow brush, swipe a touch of the lighter peach eye shadow across your upper lid.

Step 4: Add depth with the darker shade

Next, use an angled shadow brush to blend the darker peach color into your crease and up towards your brow bone.

Step 5: Highlight!

To finish, use a near-white matte or shimmering eye shadow to highlight just under the tail of your brow bone and the inner corner of your eye. Voila—perfectly peach and ready for whatever the day has in store!

HOW TO DO A PEACH CUT CREASE

Another big trend is the ever-gorgeous cut crease. Requiring a bit more skill and precision, a cut crease is all about creating a noticeable, ultra-sleek line of demarcation between your lid and your crease. Pair that with peach shadows and you better believe you have a match made in beauty heaven!

Get the look by following these simple steps: 

Step 1: Start with a neutral peach shade

Using a fluffy eye shadow brush, coat your upper lid with a neutral peach shade, like the one in the L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Quad in Shopping Spree.

Step 2: Create your cut crease

Using the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Last Waterproof, Up to 24HR Pencil Eyeliner in Purple, sketch a sideways V-shape from the outer corner of your eye toward the middle of your crease. Be sure that the line is thicker at your outer corner and thinner along your crease. 

Editor’s note: The purple will be reminiscent of the skin of an overly ripe peach. So pretty!

Step 3: Blend it out

Using a blending eye shadow brush, blend the eyeliner out toward the outer corner of your eye without disrupting the sharp bottom edge of your cut crease. 

Step 4: Add some more definition

On top of your cut crease, add a touch of the L’Oréal Paris Infallible 24 HR Eye Shadow in Smoldering Plum for just enough sparkle and depth.

Step 5: Highlight!

To complete your statement eye shadow look, use a light shimmering eye shadow, like the L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Eye Shadow in Paris Beach, to highlight your inner corner and below the arch of your brow. Just like that, your eye shadow look is as pretty as a peach!

HOW TO DO A QUICK PEACH EYE MAKEUP LOOK

Don’t feel skilled enough to recreate a peach smoky eye or cut crease? Go for a monochromatic look instead! With just a swipe of peach eye shadow on your upper lid blended up toward your brow bone, and a smidge below your bottom lid, you’ll only need a coat or two of black or blue mascara (try the L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Original Mascara in Cobalt Blue) to look positively peachy and totally on trend!

Step #1: Give yourself a glowy complexion

Everyone loves a juicy peach. And when it comes to makeup looks, glowy is our version of juicy—which means your peachy makeup look calls for a glowy, dewy complexion.

You’ll want to give your complexion its own dose of peachy beauty, so grab a peach blush to do just that! We recommend coloring your cheeks with the L’Oréal Paris Paradise Fruit-Scented Blush Makeup in Bashful or Just Curious.

Step #4: Paint your pout

Finish your peachy makeup look by coating your lips in a peachy hue, like the L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Lipstick Shine Lipstick in Shining Peach or Glossy Fawn.
