Published :: Style Me Pretty :: A Perfect Peach Eye :: Makeup Tutorials with Liz Washer

For the last of our three makeup tutorials, Liz Washer created this peachy eye based on Jessica Alba's makeup at the recent MTV Movie Awards. This look is such a beautiful alternative to the 'smokey eye' and is really warm, flattering, and fresh. 

The wedding gown was provided by In White for our shoot. And with that Hollywood Glam Hair, it all makes for a picture perfect bridal look! You can see this makeup demonstrated step by step on Style Me Pretty as well! 

How to get this Glowing Peach Eye Look

1.     Apply a peach eyeshadow to the center and outer quadrant of the eyelid

2.     Apply a shimmery gold to the inner eyelid

3.     Use a round-tipped shadow brush to apply reddish brown matte shadow to the outer corner and crease

4.     Sketch a bronzey-brown pencil along the lower lash line

5.     Using an angled brush, apply a water-resistant gel eyeliner to the top lash line

6.     Apply a thin line of black lash glue to the base of a wispy lash strip

7.     Apply a final coat of mascara to unite the natural and faux lashes

On with our makeup tutorials! I'm in love with this bold lip that Liz Washer did next and how gorgeous it looks with a wedding gown! By the way, this beautiful lace dress was provided by In White for this shoot.

The second look we covered was how to get a bold, powerful lip based on the pink power pout Holland Roden was sporting at the recent MTV Movie Awards. You can also see this look demonstrated step by step on Style Me Pretty where it was published.

Holland Roden’s power pout

1.     Apply light coat of lip balm and allow to sink in

2.     Define lips with a long-lasting pencil that is close in shade to your natural lip color; fill lips in completely for a good base

3.     Apply a brightly colored cream lipstick (no shimmer or glitter)

4.     Blot with one ply of tissue, then reapply one coat; blot again!

5.     Lightly tap translucent powder through one ply of tissue to set lipstick

Working with Leanne and Kim from SkinCatering was a blast! Then you add our model for the shoot, Meghan from chikmedia, into the mix and the shoot was a great blend of fun, silliness, and rockin' professionals!

SkinCatering is a unique and fun brand (just like its creator), and for someone looking for great easy products that are good on the go yet handmade and natural. SkinCatering offers spa services to relax and pamper as well as products to take home. This is a company that focuses on real beauty. Leanne might have tackled me if I had tried to retouch out one of Meghan's scars (beautiful evidence that she is a survivor) and I love that! (And, for the record, I also did not want to edit the photo in anyway that would have changed how beautiful Meghan naturally is, though I did smooth some pesky goosebumps and catch some fly away hairs!)

Below are a few of the images we created together to highlight this great company, hopefully they do each of these ladies justice!
