What is the one look you can wear even if you went from wavy blonde curls to pin-straight brunette hair like our duchess Fergie? Peach makeup!

Wearing hues of soft peaches and corals not only gives off a sweet, youthful look, but it goes well with all skin tones and hair color. Plus it is great for both the warm and cold seasons (peach can perk up a dull complexion like no other), which means you get to spend your money elsewhere even if you decide to change your hair color or skin tone!

Spring 2009 Runway Alert: How To Wear Turquoise Eyeshadow

[24 Jan 2009 | 18 Comments | ]

Spring is the best time to whip out those bright colors that were kept hidden in the drawers after the long cold winter and turquoise is my all-time favorite.

While turquoise looks best against darker skin tones and makes brown eyes pop, it will look good on lighter eyes and paler skin as well. Just make sure you pick one that has a metallic or satiny finish. Matte turquoise can look dated.

How To Wear Turquoise Eyeshadow
The combinations you can create with turquoise is endless. Check out the following pics straight from the runway for ideas.

At the Gucci S/S 2009 show, lead makeup artist Pat McGrath did a bold look with a rich metallic turquoise eyeshadow on the lid blended past the crease, a light green as a highlighter, lots of eyeliner and false lashes. She also highlighted the models’ cheekbones and cupid’s bow and added a soft pink lipgloss on the lips.
