When the Too Faced Peaches & Cream Collection was first announced, I was absolutely thrilled. After the release of the original peach palette -- which I use literally every single day -- I didn't think that they'd be able to top it, but after giving the newer collection a whirl, I stand corrected.
The Too Faced Peaches & Cream Collection consists of a laundry list of products. Its standout product is the Too Faced Just Peachy Mattes eyeshadow palette, $45, but it also includes complexion products like a primer, foundation, blushes, setting powders, setting spray, bronzer and highlighter. The line's incredible hydrating matte lipsticks come in an abundance of breath-taking shades.
For those of you who are dying to see how to use these products or just want the inside scoop on how well they work, I've created a tutorial just for you. This is an ideal everyday makeup look that could easily be worn into the office or out for drinks with the girls.

Bare Faced and Excited to Start
I started off with absolutely no makeup. I'm definitely more of a medium-to-full coverage type of gal, so I was interested to test the foundation. I was also very excited about all the peachy tones, as oranges and warm tones make my eye color pop (and who doesn't love that?). I did my research and watched/read a ton of reviews to see what others said, but was prepared to create my own look.
I heard a lot about this foundation being way too matte, but I was absolutely thrilled with it. I applied this foundation with a damp Beauty Blender and pounced it onto my skin. At first application, I was very happy with the coverage, but in some areas (read: the giant pimple on my forehead that conveniently just popped up this morning) I did have to go in with a second layer. It was about 10 a.m. when I first applied it and -- no joke -- it was at least five hours later before I even thought about blotting. Normally, after about two hours I'm a full-on grease pit, so it's safe to say I was into this formula. Even considering how matte it was, I never felt like I was too flat or made-up. In this photo, you can see that I only applied the foundation on half off my face to show the difference in coverage.
After finishing the foundation, I topped it off with the Peach Blur Finishing Powder. If I'm being honest, at first glance I didn't have faith that this powder was going to do anything for me, but I was pleasantly surprised once I applied it with my fluffy brush. I dusted it lightly all around my face. The finish I was left with was absolutely beautiful. It didn't completely mattify my skin, but left it with an almost angelic finish.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get my hands on the bronzer, so I had to improvise with a darker blush than I'd normally apply. I'm actually happy that I did, because I was elated with the outcome. I used the Peach My Cheeks Blush in the warmest brown shade they had, Spiced Peach, and applied it with the same trusty Beauty Blender. I dabbed my sponge into the product and then worked it into the shape of a number three on the outsides of my face, making sure to blend away any lines of demarcation. This shade gave me the perfect amount of bronze glow, and, because it is a cream product, I didn't lose any of the glow I had from the foundation and finishing powder.
