Peaches and Cream For Every Skin Tone

Published Feb 25, 2012

Ready for a creamy complexion straight from the orchard? It's not even spring yet, but the thought of garden blooms and fruit blossoms has us giddy! A hallmark beauty look of the season? Healthy skin as ripe as a Georgia peach! But not all golden hues are created equal, and some look more natural on different skin tones than others. See which peaches-and-cream color suits you best.

On Fair Skin With a Warm Undertone

To enhance your pale skin, try a sheer apricot shade as an overall highlighter. The strong golden tones in a peachy yellow tint go well with your coloring.

On Fair Skin With a Cool Undertone

Peachy-pink colors are most flattering on neutral or cool skin because they balance the warmth of peach in a neutral pink base. Stick with a whipped texture on the cheeks for a natural, flushed-from-within effect.

On Medium Skin With a Warm Undertone

Honey complexions glow with amber hues. The mix of yellow, beige, and orange gives a subtle and innocent dimension to medium-warm skin tones.

On Medium Skin With a Cool Undertone

Like their paler counterparts, deeper beige complexions need a balance of pink to achieve a subtle spring flush. Try a sheer tawny rose shade on the apples of the cheeks.

On Deep Skin With a Warm Undertone

Because of their strong warm base, deeper, golden skin tones can pull off sheer neon brights! We prefer a cream-based formula for a warm-weathered luminous sheen.

On Deep Skin With a Cool Undertone

Darker, cooler skin radiates with tangerine tints! The trick to keep it looking like a natural flush? Find an orange powder with a strong neutral base.

I love peach blushes! They're so pretty!

Awesome article! I have fair skin with cool undertones.I love using cream blush to create a slight flush. Right now I'm using an Almay Smart Shade blush in Berry. It gives you that sun-kissed, just-came-back-from-the-beach look.

What about neutral undertones?

Love this article. Especially showing a pretty good visual.

Love this article. So comprehensive with the range of warm and cool undertones per skin tone. And yes, naturally flushed pinks and golds are any Beauty buff's favorite thing for spring! <3

So glad Beautylish did an article on this! I've been in love with peachy/apricot colors for a while!
