24th Oct 2024
Looking to nail that dreamy peach hair? With Crazy Color, creating your perfect peach shade is easy, fun, and totally customisable. If you’re after a soft pastel peach, a punchy vibrant peach or one more fiery and tangerine, this guide has everything you need to mix your perfect colour at home.
Crazy Color Brand Ambassador Lily Champ is here to spill all her top tips and secrets for mixing up the peach of your dreams. Let’s break it down!
First up: What kind of peach do you want?
Before you start mixing, you need to decide what kind of peach is for you:
- True Peach : A perfect balance between pink and orange.
- Pinky Peach : More on the pink side.
- Tangerine Peach : A peach with that bold orange vibe.
Once you’ve picked your peach, you can decide how you want it—soft and pastel, super vibrant or with a burnt, edgy vibe.
The Perfect Peach Mash Up
For a classic, true peach, here’s the magic mix:
- 1 bottle of Peachy Coral
- Add dots of Candyfloss (a soft pink) and a few dots of Anarchy UV (a neon red-orange).
Don’t stress about getting it perfect on the first try. Lily’s trick? Add tiny dots of Candy Floss and Anarchy bit by bit until the shade looks just right. Keep some white paper nearby to brush on and check the colour as you go.
Pinky Peach Mix
If you’re feeling the pinkier side of peach, follow this recipe:
- 3/4 bottle of Peachy Coral
- 1/4 bottle of Candyfloss
- Add dots of Anarchy UV to keep it peachy and not too pink.
This combo gives you that soft peachy-pink, without losing the warm, peachy undertones. It’s the best of both worlds!
Tangerine Peach Mix
Want more of that bold, orangey peach? Try this:
- 3/4 bottle of Peachy Coral
- 1/4 bottle of Anarchy UV
- Add dots of Candyfloss to make sure it stays peachy and doesn’t go too orange.
The Candyfloss in this formula keeps it from looking like straight-up tangerine orange—so you still get those soft peachy vibes but with a pop!
How to Make It Pastel, Vibrant, or Burnt
Now that you’ve got your peach formulas, it’s time to customise them to you. Whether you want your peach soft and subtle or bold and punchy, here’s how to adjust your mix:
For a Soft, Pastel Peach:
- Cut your formula in half and add it to a big bowl of Neutral Mix.
- This will tone down the colour and give you a more delicate, pastel peach.
For a Vibrant Peach:
- Want your peach to pack a punch? Swap out Candyfloss for Pinkissimo (a brighter pink), or add more Anarchy UV for extra boldness.
- Lily’s pro tip: Don’t use orange to brighten things up. It can turn the mix too red. Stick with Anarchy for the perfect vibrant boost!
For a Burnt, Grungy Peach:
- Feeling edgy? Stick to the base formulas above, but replace Candyfloss with Pinkissimo or add more Anarchy UV.
- Then, add the tiniest dot of Natural Black for a burnt, smokey effect. Warning: Don’t overdo the black, it can make the colour muddy. Just a teeny dot will give you that cool, grungy look.
DIY Mixing Tips:
- Work by eye : A lot of Crazy Color mixing is trial and error. Keep testing on white paper until you hit that perfect shade.
- Go slow with the bold colours : Anarchy and Natural Black are powerful, so start with small amounts and add as needed. It’s easier to build colour than to tone it down!
