Look: Peach & Smoky Purples for Autumn
Here’s a quick look for fall that I put together to go out to dinner with my parents and boyfriend (for my birthday). It’s pretty simple, and surprisingly, I used all permanent products (without trying–that’s an accomplishment!). 🙂 Hope your Wednesday is off to a fantastic start! Halfway through the week — yay!
You will need the following…
- Eyes: Soft Ochre paint pot (neutral beige base), Melon pigment (peachy-pink), Gleam eyeshadow (peachy-pink), Cranberry eyeshadow (berry-wine), Fig. 1 eyeshadow (eggplant), Graphology eyeshadow (deep purple-black), Ricepaper eyeshadow (highlighter), Smolder eye kohl (black), Urban Decay El Dorado 24/7 Liner (gold), Zoom Fast Lash mascara (black)
- Cheeks: Plum Foolery blush (berry)
- Lips: Guerlain Gracia Lipstick (muted berry), Chanel Spark glossimer (coppery berry)
- Brushes: 266 (firm, angled brush), 226 (fluffy crease brush), 219 (pointed crease brush), 214 (smudge brush), 249 (flat, firm brush), 239 (fluffy shadow brush), 129 (dense blush brush)
- Substitutes: N/A
Directions: Define brows using a coordinating powder shadow applied with the 266 brush. Apply Soft Ochre paint pot all over the lid as the base with the 249. With the 239, apply Melon pigment with water-based mixing medium on the lower lid. On the inner lid, pack Gleam eyeshadow on using the 239. Apply Cranberry eyeshadow to the outer portions of the lid. Darken crease with Fig. 1 eyeshadow using the 226, then deepen with Graphology eyeshadow with the 219. Sweep Ricepaper eyeshadow underneath the brow bone to highlight. Finish with Urban Decay El Dorado Liner on lower lash line, and Smolder eye kohl on the lower waterline using the 209. Apply Zoom Fast Lash mascara on lashes. Sweep apples of cheeks with Plum Foolery blush using the 129. Apply Guerlain Gracia lipstick to lips, and then top with Chanel Spark glossimer for color and shine.

Check out Rubenesque. Fresco Rose for a matter pink base. If you like any gold, go swatch Indian Wood (one of my fav’s)!! Happy shopping!!
Thanks, Rashmi! I’d probably such Rubenesque then!
That is gorgeous Christine! Hope you had a yummy Italian dinner!
Thanks, Phoi! I did — loved my gnocchi!
Hope you had a happy birthday, Christine! What presents did you get for your bday? Any makeup?
Thanks, Millie!
Everyone pooled together to get a new laptop for me! 🙂
omg, I’m loving this look! Last night I did one with purples and greys (pandamonium, shadowy lady, push the edge, fertile and vex). HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! 🙂
Thanks, HC! Sounds like a gorgeous look!
oh and duh, Vanilla e/s as a highlight!
beautiful! I love the colour combination on the eyes.
Thanks, Evelyn!
I’ve just bought Melon pigment on eBay, so will try this look once I have it. It’s gorgeous. I also got El Dorado in the 24/7 travel set, so watch this space, lol!
Awesome! I think you will LOVE Melon 😀
*gasp* that’s fracking beautiful!! I wanna dupe this asap!!!
Oh, wow! LOL! Thanks so much, Becca!
I adore this eye look on you!! I am definitely going to have to try this at home. 😀
Oh yay! Thanks, Catherine! 🙂 I hope you get a chance to try it yourself!
Gorgeous! LOVE LOVE LOVE the eye makeup, very well done!
Thank you so much, Tina!
This look is so gorgeous Christine! I can’t wait to try this out!!
Aw, thanks so much, Samantha! I hope you do!
Beautiful eye make up. Is Eldorado similar to Honey?
Thanks, Mayaline! They’re similar, but Eldorado is more of a true gold — brighter.
I love peachy pinks with purples, so lovely!
Thank you, Amy!
You look so pretty, and the eyes are elegant and luminous. Elegant yet simple. You could’ve gone for a lighter or darker lip and still would’ve looked great.
Thank you so much, Ali! 🙂
It’s definitely a nice look that can work with either a light or dark lip! (Which is rare!)
That eye is one of the more uniquely beautiful things I’ve seen. I don’t know that you’ve done any looks like this before, and I love it.
Oh, wow! Thank you so much, Dee!
Great look. I think I’ll need to pick up Cranberry & Graphology now.
Thanks, Christy! They’re both FANTASTIC shades.
I doubt any of you are are old enough to remember Ultima Make up.. but they had a beautiful peach/purple combo eye shadow that I still mourn and lust after.
This look is the closest thing I have seen since they went out of business and trust me I have been looking for YEARS! Thank you thank you thank you!!
Im 31!! I remember them as a kid!! They had Black packaging and I was always draw to their counters as a kid!! Was it like Ultima 2 or something like that???
Awwwwwwwww!
I hope it IS what you’ve been looking for!!
Love the smokey eyes and lips!
Thanks, Bridgette!
The make up of the eyes is totally gorgeous. Such an efficient combination!
Oh, wow! Thanks so much, Jellynat! 😉
ooh, such a pretty fall look! 🙂
Thanks, Maggie!
wow. i love the eyes!!! im going to try to recreate it but with a nude lip just so more focus would be on the amazing eyes. i really hope you do a video tutorial on this one
Thanks so much, Lulee!! 🙂
Ooh! LOVES IT, Christine! Another pretty look. & Thank you so much because I’ve been wanting to snag Cranberry e/s, but have been hesitant because I had no clue how to use it. But this look, I’m hoping to try once I get that e/s. [:
Thank you so much, Trisha Mae! 🙂
Yes, yes, get Cranberry. One of my fave shades!
wow
I love the look. although a little bit over-makeup. really love the eye look.
Thanks, Gloria!
gorgeous! one of my fave looks that you’ve done. now only if i can re-create it. I’m still a newbie at the whole eyeshadow application thing.
Oh, wow! Thank you so much! 🙂 I’m sure you can — good luck!!
So pretty! I *need* to get that El Dorado liner . . . Honey is too cool for me, but I wish that they offered El Dorado in a full size without the set. Guess I’ll just have to order all of the 24/7 sets this holiday 🙂
Thanks so much, Hyzenthlay! 🙂 I hope they come out with the new shades in full size in Spring or something!
fab combination all the way around. ooh lala
Thanks, DJ!
no subs eh..I guess I’ll have to recreate as best I can..that should get me out the box a litle more ha ha
They’re all perm! 😛
I have got to have these colors. They are a great combo. I usually like/do browns/taupes and purlples and this is a new twist. Now I have to find me some money!
Get ’em! They’re all great permanent shades 🙂
As always, you pull together some beautiful FUN looks. This is my fav. so far. The blending is flawless, the color’s are perfect together, they look fab on YOU and YES, all PERMANENT!!! I also gotta show this love cuz these colors are my “go to” cuz of my green peepers! LUVVVVSSSS it!!!
Oh, wow! I’m so glad you liked this one so much, Raven 🙂 Thank you!
Oh, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Thank you, Raven!
So sexy mami!! Love it!
Yay! Thank you, Rose!
i think i’ll recreate this for a party this weekend.
I hope you do, Liz!
The color combination is really beautiful and it flatters you tremendously! I also love that you haven’t taken your crease color up as far as you normally do… it really compliments your beautiful eyes!
Thank you so much, Michelle! 🙂
Oh man, I gots to try this one next time I go out! You’re so cute with your disclaimer about the lips! hahah
LOL!
Thanks, Tatiana!
Absolutely love!!!
Thanks, Cam!
:))) so beautiful!
Thanks a ton, Samantha!
Stunning as always!
Aw, thanks, Tami!
The eye shadow combo looks so pretty! So is the lip color…Spark is eye catching.
Thanks so much, Nicci!
nice fall look
Thanks, Lorna!
This is such a stunning look for fall. I wouldn’t have thought to pair peach and purple but they look great together. Great job Christine!
Thanks! It turned out to be a surprisingly good combo!
So pretty, I love this look! For the lips, maybe the lipgloss made the lipstick sort of melt, it has happened to me sometimes.
Thanks so much, Chiara!
That might be it. I wasn’t pleased, LOL.
these are like Notoriety quad colors (but better!)
LOL! How funny!
This look is gorgeous really BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO
Aww, thank you, Yaël!
I love the lips and blush combo, so pretty!
Thanks, Rachael! 🙂
I really love your looks but I really think you should consider another mascara because this one makes your eye lashes look really poor unfortunately 🙁
Otherwise – look is really beautiful! 🙂
Thanks for the tip! This is the first time I’ve used this mascara!
Christine, Your eyes look absolutely fantastic….I am trying this now!! 🙂
Thanks so much, Shweta! Did you get a chance to try it?
I wore it today, and my BF who really pretty much never comments on my makeup did a double take and said he liked it…Thanks Christine 🙂
Aww, yay!
Love this look <33
You look really pretty♥
Aw, thanks a lot, Jessica!
Christine, you look amazing here. Where did you end up going for dinner?
Thanks, Amanda! 🙂 We went to a local Italian restaurant!
beautiful…
Thanks, Zahara!
Oooh, I love the eye colors so much! It’s one of my faves that you’ve done. Must bookmark it =)
Thanks, Lady Lostris!
whilst trying to recreate this (huge compliment because even though ive seen hundreds of tutorials this is the only one that has ever inspired me enough to recreate it)i realized it works pretty well with the stila charmed palette! not exact, but its the same concept and better than having to go out and buy all those mac colors

Gorgeous, Lulee!! I love that you were able to dupe it and put your own twist on it!
This look makes me even more excited about getting my 24.7 super stash for x-mas. Also it looks like Graphology may have been discontinued because i cannot seem to find it on mac’s website. So i was wondering if u knew of a good dupe? Thanks
You’ll love it!! 🙂
I don’t have a good dupe for it, but it’s this dark purple that’s not quite black, but very dark. You could probably just lightly dab a black shadow in to replace it!
EEPS!!!!! This is gorgeous!!!! I’ve been out of commission with my internet so i’m just catching up on the last 3 months, and THIS is BEAUTIFUL!! One of your best looks so far, IMO. I will be trying this out on myself (NC20) so hopefully it doesn’t look clownish on me!!
Thank you so much, Brenda!! 🙂
I love this look its so pretty
Thanks, Heather!
Oh my god ! I love this look !
Officially one of my favorite looks. <3
Aww, thanks a bunch, Violet!
I wore this look tonight to a wedding with a purple dress. Looked AMAZING! I got so many complements! Thanks Christine!
Thanks, Jenni!
