Hello lovelies!
As you saw in a recent post of mine, I was lucky enough to get the Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette and the Becca + Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop highlighter for Christmas this year. I was so excited to try them out and share my results with you all!
I am by no means a makeup expert. In fact, I’d probably classify myself as more of a beginner. So rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, I decided to make my first attempt at the Sweet Peach Palette based on something other than my own creativity. I watched a tutorial that one of my favorite youtubers, KathleenLights, did, and I tried to copy the look the best I could. Here is the video that I used for this look.
Essentially, I tried to copy the eye look that Kathleen did with a couple of variations. First, I have hooded eyes, so I brought the transition and crease shades up higher than normal to create some depth. (I learned this method from watching Stephanie Lange’s hooded eyes videos! I also modified the winged liner based on her tutorials.) Second, I didn’t tightline my eyes because I didn’t have a brown liner around and because my eyes have been irritated from allergies lately. Other than that, I pretty much followed her tutorial when it came to the eyes!
Here’s a list of the products I used:
- Face primer: Smashbox Light it Up Primers Duo
- Eye Primer: Urban Decay Original Eyeshadow Primer Potion
- Eyeshadow: Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette
- Eyeliner: Eyeko Liquid Liner
- Mascara: Benefit Roller Lash
- Brows: Lancome Le Crayon Poudre in Taupe
- Foundation: Loreal True Match in Alabaster C1
- Concealer: NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla
- Powder: Lancome Dual Finish in 120 Ivorie
- Blush: The Balm in Hot Mama
- Bronzer/contour: NYX Highlight and Contour Pro Palette
- Highlight: BECCA in Champagne Pop
- Lips: Kylie Cosmetics Matte Liquid Lip in Candy K
- Brushes: Morphe
Bare faced, no makeup or primer. Just a cat ear headband!

I don’t know… Maybe I should’ve skipped the eyeliner? Having hooded eyes makes everything so much more complicated! Looking at the photos before and after the eyeliner, I feel like a lot of the nuance of she shadowing is lost because now all you can see is the black eyeliner. What do you think?
Either way, I am super impressed with the palette and the highlighter! The eyeshadows are in gorgeous colors, with good pigmentation, and were easy to blend. The variety of colors will lend itself to endless options for combinations and looks! The Champagne Pop is definitely a POP of highlight! I was afraid it might be too dark for my (super) pale skin, but it really isn’t. AND it goes great with the Sweet Peach palette because of its golden and pinky tones. I had a lot of fun trying out these new products and really enjoyed trying to recreate the look KathleenLights featured.
I hope you enjoyed! Have you tried any new makeup looks lately? Tell me about them below in the comments!
