Summer Makeup Shades: Pretty Peaches and Cool Corals!

I really want to wear girly colors for summer, but I don’t wanna wear plain pink. Help!
This summer, we totally love cool corals and pretty peach shades—and there’s ways to make them work for every girl.

Hot coral is amazing as a show-stopping manicure. Or paint those toes red for a pick-me-up pedi.
Sheer peach gloss shows off your natural lip color, while still adding a tint of color.
Or, opt for a bright pink pout. Hello, gorgeous!
 
Shadows with red or orange undertones can be hard to pull off. You don't want to look like you've got pink eye! But everyone can wear coral or peach. Just follow our GL rules and you'll be peachy keen!
Light Skin
If you're the fairest of them all you've got to make sure you're not going overboard with the peach. Pick a hue with warm undertones but isn't too dark. You need a soft color against your milky complexion. Swipe a light coat on your brow bones, just under your lower lash line, and on the inner corner of your eye.
Medium Skin
Sun-kissed beauties can be a little more daring with corally colors. Go with something that has a shimmer or metallic hue to it. This will look great against your tanned skin. Pick something a little brighter or bold. It'll pay off! Blend it into your crease and outside half of your lid.
Dark Skin
Peach and coral can be tough colors for you because they tend to not show up against your pretty, creamy skin. To make sure you're getting the effect you want, def go with a powder shadow rather than a cream. Pick a lighter color that will contrast against your skin. Apply it so that it covers your lid and blends slightly into your crease.
