Once allergy season is over, I’m all about playing up my eyes for the summertime, which is the perfect time to put on some gold and peach eyeshadows. In the winter I gravitate towards heavy face makeup whereas in the summer I like to try more creative eye looks. I’ll share how to get a beautiful golden and peach eye that just screams, “It’s finally (almost) summer!” Keep reading for a list of products and video.

Love the warm tones. I never understood garish bright blue eye makeup, but these warm fleshy tones are beautiful!
Thanks for the makeup tutorial! I’m the same way – lighter makeup in the summer, heavier in the winter – thus, I am always looking for light, creative makeup looks for the summer months.

Love seeing this since we have semi-similar skin tones! I rarely wear I shadow, and I can never figure out what colors are best on me.
I’ll have to post some color guides I have to by skin tone! But, yes I love wearing golds in the summer
Wow, looks beautiful. Will have to give it a go.

Totally love wearing those earthy tones during the summer, throwing in some coral and blue shadows every now and again. My foundation goes into hibernation in the summer (the FL sun can kill you!). My tinted moisturizer from Smash Box goes to work now! LOL
Those colors look great on you!

Thanks MJ! Yeah, foundation and the South do NOT mix in the summer. Plus I hate the feeling of layering on liquid foundation when it’s 90 degrees outside.
Courtney recently talked about Starburst Summer Eye
I definitely love a bronzy eye for summer. In fact, I’m wearing half-baked today:) I don’t like to wear a heavy foundation because I don’t want to cover my freckles, so I usually go with a loose powder that has SPF.
