Today’s makeup tutorial is brought to you by Chelsea, one of the Editorial Assistants on the NYLON Singapore team. So… what’s so special about Chelsea’s makeup?
It’s nothing particularly out of the ordinary actually, just that she’s really mastered the art of nailing peachy eyeshadow, paired with slightly flushed cheeks and a matte nude lip. One day, this colour combination was just looking so fine on her that we simply had to ask her to tell us what exactly she was using. So, she did, and we presented it all here step-by-step, products included, so now we can all nail the Chelsea Look.
1. Chelsea usually starts with a base of liquid foundation (her usual pick’s the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Gel), with blemishes hidden by these drugstore concealer options. For the brows, just lightly fill them in with a pencil.
2. First up on the eyes, a matte light peach that goes on as a base. Chelsea uses the shade “Issues” from the Colourpop Blow Me Away Pressed Powder Shadow Palette, using a small-shading brush.
A peach-hued eyeshadow base immediately brightens the entire lid area.
3. Next, we’re going to add shading to the outer corners of the lids, right under the brow bone. Using a tapered blending brush, Chelsea applies the shade Peanut Butter, a matte burnt orange, from Too Faced’s Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar palette.
Here, you see how the colour has been extended on the outside corners, and there’s now some definition.
4. And now, we bring in the shine. Using the ETUDE HOUSE Bling Me Prism Look At My Eyes in BE107, Chelsea gently dabs it on the inner half of her eyelids with her ring finger.

5. For an extra fun touch, apply this glittery shade under the eyes as well. With a small fluffy eyeshadow brush, pick up just a bit of the colour and line right under the eyes.
This will help you look just a bit more awake.
6. Some of the colours in this Colourpop palette double up as a blush too. Chelsea chose the shade Centerfold, a matte coral, to brush onto the apples of cheeks with a large fluffy powder brush.
7. For some contour, dip the same brush into the Urban Decay x Jean-Michel Basquiat Gallery Blush Palette. We used the bronzer shade Jawbone.
8. Last step: lip colour, in the form of a matte liquid lipstick. Chelsea’s top choice is the Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipstick in Mannequin.
And… that’s it! You’ve got the Chelsea Look down pat.
