#CultBeautyTrendWatch: Why Peach Will Be This Season’s Hue
Just as the catwalks are awash with ruffles, make up is taking a turn for the 'girly' with peach coming out as the new 'hue de jour'. Soft and decidedly feminine, this prettily pink-orange hybrid is gracing eyelids, lips and cheeks to grant a glow (and inspire warm, fuzzy feelings). It's wonderfully romantic (escapism anyone!?) and suits almost every skin tone... so, take a bite of this cute beauty fruit with our edit of make up (and skin care) favourites...
Create a 'wash' all over eyelids for an understated, beautifully brightening effect. Beauty Bakerie's EyesCream in 'Pancake' is perfectly pale (and interesting), while Stila's Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow in 'Rose Gold Retro' has a gorgeous foil finish and silver sequins for some evening glitz.
Or channel Lily Collins' gorgeous 'Golden Globes' look with a veil of Surratt's Artistique Eyeshadow in 'Poudre' - a soft, matte peach that's perfectly princess-worthy.
The most flattering flush, peach tones lend warmth to our sun-starved visages. Choose apricot blushers and honeysuckle highlighters to make it look like winter never happened...
For just-pinched-your-cheeks prettiness, apply Stila's Convertible Colour in 'Petunia', or 3 Concept Eye's Creamy Cheek Stick in 'Sweet Apricot' - blending with your fingers for a dewy glow. Then exaggerate cheekbones (and brighten your brow bones) with Laura Geller's Baked Gelato in shade 'Peachy Glow' - a gold-flecked luminiser that complements all complexions.
Eliminate scales with TONYMOLY's irresistible Peach Lip Balm then perfect your pout with a pretty peach stain. We're besotted with Rituel de Fille's Enchanted Lip Sheer in 'Bittersweet' for a wash of see-through pigment, or increase the intensity with Beauty Bakerie's long-wear Lip Whip in 'Love Palace'.
If you like cream with your peaches, try NudeStix Lip and Cheek Pencil in either 'Love' or 'Soul', or prepare to be smitten with Charlotte TilburyHot Lips in 'Kidman's Kiss'.
Slather your hands with TONYMOLY's fuzzy Peach Hand Cream (an ADORABLE desk-side adornment), then paint your tips with Smith & Cult's Porn-A-Thon Nail Lacquer - a provocative peach that's the easiest way to embrace this burgeoning beauty trend.
