Top Five: Coral Products for Spring and Summer


Corals and peaches are some of my all time favourite colours when it comes to makeup and it's obvious why they're so well loved by us all; they look pretty without being 'in your face' like some pinks can be, and are universally flattering on just about any skin tone. As gorgeous as peach makeup looks on tanned and darker skin it also looks great paler skin tones too if you choose the right shade. Here are some of my favourites. 

Possibly one of my favourite pieces of makeup ever, if you've read any of my previous posts you'll know it isn't the first time I've mentioned this. I love how it gives me some colour and brightens my face without playing up to my naturally pink cheeks; the matte finish makes it perfect for a natural daytime look on it's own, or with a highlighter for some added sparkle. Next on my Mac blush wishlist is Desert Rose, although I doubt I'll find another cheek colour I like as much as Peaches.

This is a great 'handbag lip product' if that makes sense, it doesn't make too much of a statement and it will go with any other makeup you have on your face. You can apply it on the go without having to worry about a dark colour smudging everywhere; the staying power is really bad, but you can just quickly reapply throughout the day easily without it drying your lips out. I usually wear this over Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Rendezvous which is a bright orange, that way when Luna wears off I'm still left with some colour underneath.

This has to be my favourite bright lipstick of the moment, if I had to pick just one lipstick for over the next few months it would probably be this. It's bright, pretty and fun- to me just looks like the perfect summer shade. The pink undertone means it's quite easy to wear, and the semi-matte finish is quite comfortable to wear.

This is an old favourite of mine, it's just amazingly pretty and I think I'll get more use out of it now we're in the warmer months of the year. It's really glittery so a light hand is definitely needed, but it makes a gorgeous peachy gold highlight that looks amazing just applied to the tops of the cheekbones. I reviewed Rose Gold here.

We all love the Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paints, Papaya is one of my favourites from the collection and it's a gorgeous shade with a pretty, glossy finish. My other coral/peach favourite is Peach Melba also by Barry M, if you don't own it already you're seriously missing out! I always assumed bright orangey peach nail varnish wouldn't look nice against my cool toned skin but somehow it does seem to work.
