‘Latte Makeup’ is the Internet’s Latest Craze—Here’s How to Recreate It

Published on by Lee7 Comments

Let me be the first to say that I’m all for ending the internet’s obsession with naming beauty and fashion trends after seemingly random foods (tomato girl? blueberry milk nails? SOS). However, if there’s one food-or-drink named trend that I can get behind, it’s latte makeup. Aside from being admittedly aptly named, the viral look is easy to recreate and is uber-flattering on all skin tones and eye colors.

The latte makeup trend is essentially exactly what it sounds like a sultry, bronzed makeup look created with different natural shades of brown. Warm coffee colors are highlighted through a creamy bronzer, a smudged brown eyeliner, and a juicy but neutral-toned lip. For those of you with perpetually rosy cheeks, latte makeup is a win because it eliminates bright pink or red blushes and instead focuses on more bronze, neutral tones. The term was coined on TikTok by beauty guru Rachel Rigler, but the look itself originated from Australian makeup artist Tanielle Jai (who, for those invested, has stated that she is totally behind the “latte” name).

So, What Is Latte Makeup?

Say hello to “latte makeup.” And just like the countless coffee orders that range from every single shade of espresso and beige — the trend, too, is all about using natural shades of browns and bronzes to create a truly sun-lit glam.

Advertisements

Danielle Estrada, a makeup artist and one of the many creators who has shared her spin on the glowing look, notes that the viral underpainting methodsuits this glam the most — which, ICYWW, is a face contouring technique made popular by Mary Phillips, the celeb-loved artist who frequently works with the likes of Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber.

Why underpainting, you ask? Well, the method creates a softly contoured look underneath your favorite products. And to get the best results, you typically should be reaching for lightweight complexion products, like glowing skin tints with a more sheer, buildable finish.

As for the inspo pic that the latte glam is based on? Well, Australian-based Tanielle Jai is the makeup artist behind the look (which dates back to around 2018). In a recent Instagram post, she notes: “They call this the “latte makeup” but it’s just bronzed makeup using caramel tones.”

Of course, if you’re watching The Idol, you may see a similar sultry look on Lily-Rose Depp, throughout summer, this toasty, sun-kissed glam has been everywhere.

How to recreate the “latte” makeup look

The bronzy, glowy base

The base of the latte makeup look includes a sheer-coverage foundation or skin tint, cream bronzer, concealer, and a powder bronzer to seal it all in. To achieve a natural, sun-kissed effect, Rigler recommends putting your foundation or skin tint everywhere except your nose to let your natural freckles come through; you can also use a freckle pen to create freckles after finishing the base. Add a healthy amount of cream bronzer or contour to your cheeks, a little bit of concealer wherever you need it, and blend well. Finish with a powder bronzer, and you have a latte makeup base.

The shimmery brown eye

After watching dozens of latte makeup tutorials, I can confidently say that there is no “wrong” way to achieve a latte eye. For an everyday recreation of the look, you can blend your powder bronzer into your crease, add a bit of smudged brown eyeliner to your lash line, and call it a day. If you want to make your latte makeup look to be a bit more glam, use a darker brown eyeshadow in your crease, add a smudged brown eyeliner to both your lash line and water line, and pop a bit of gold eyeshadow on your inner corner for a sexier iteration. Regardless of how you opt to create your latte eye look, minimal mascara is key for allowing the brown tones to shine.

The glossy-but-neutral lip

To finish your latte look, a neutral lip is the way to go. Grab your favorite nude, caramel-toned, or brown lip liner, and finish with a gloss that contributes to the melted effect of the makeup. In her original latte makeup tutorial, Rigler takes the excess bronzer and foundation left over on her beauty blender and pats it over her lips before applying liner for an even more neutral look.

How to recreate “latte” makeup on different undertones

If your initial reaction to latte-inspired makeup looks is “No way, that’s not for me,” think again. Many of the original pictures and videos of the viral trend are used on people with bronzed, olive complexions, but the look is just as flattering on fairer and deeper skin tones alike. (That’s right, fair-skinned gals—you don’t need to self-tan to high heaven to achieve the look).

Advertisements

Jai has released several follow-up videos explaining how to recreate latte makeup on different undertones. People with cool undertones should lean into ashy, taupe-y browns, while those with warm undertones should seek out browns with a pinker undertone. Prioritizing shades of brown that will compliment your skin tone—rather than wash it out—is the key to making latte makeup work for you.

Situated on the immaculate white sand of Seven Mile Beach on the island of Grand Cayman is one of the most glamorous destinations for the style set right now. Palm Heights, a 52-suite hotel and resort, is a magnet for A-listers, and its guest list reads more like the model call sheet for a Proenza Schouler show. Bella Hadid, Chloë Sevigny, and Emily Ratajkowski are all repeat visitors, though you won’t find much evidence among the hotel’s tagged Instagram photos. For its buzzy clientele, Palm Heights is not something to shout about, lest its secluded feel loses its luster. Founded by Gabriella Khalil in 2019, every last detail of the property is tastefully curated, down to the sunny-yellow striped loungers and interiors decorated in the ’60s and ’70s mid-century style. The hotel boasts everything from a world-class spa and wellness programs curated by best-in-business trainers from Nike and Forma Pilates to its on-site boutique, Dolores, featuring collaborations with Christopher John Rodgers, Bode, Tekla, and more, making it a true destination for the fashion set.

Andy Warhol, Mark Twain, Bob Dylan, and Patti Smith are just a few of the artists and musicians who roamed its halls and gleaned inspiration from its Victorian Gothic architecture in the ’60s and ’70s. Despite its status as the city’s cultural landmark, the hotel hadn’t booked a single guest for the past decade. Now, a year after its highly-anticipating reopening by the team behind downtown favorites like The Ludlow and The Bowery, “The Chelsea” as many of its bohemian residents affectionally referred to it, is once again serving as the backdrop to the city’s most fashionable creatives and noteworthy celebrities. Whether you stay in one of its suites lined with rich velvet draping or head to its sprawling lobby bar to sip on a martini, stepping into the space is a confirmation that a certain old New York glamour is alive and well.

Cali Mykonos, Greece

Set away from the nonstop nightlife that has earned Mykonos its party-island reputation is the immaculate Cali hotel, a serene antithesis to the rest of the island’s bass-thumping beach clubs and already called one of the best new hotels in the world by Travel + Leisure and the best hotel for the fashion crowd by Vogue. The property is an assortment of sleek, minimalist suites nestled in an exclusive corner of the island and boasts a private beach just for guests. But perhaps the most photogenic of the hotel’s endlessly Instagrammable corners is the dramatic cliff-top infinity pool and largest on the island.

“I’ve had the privilege of staying in some pretty spectacular accommodations during my editorial career, and it’s not hyperbole when I say that my experience at Cali Mykonos was simply best-in-class” shares Victoria Hoff, a brand strategist and contributing writer. “My room was outfitted with a private pool and outdoor shower that opened up to a jaw-dropping, panoramic view of the Aegean. The property is situated on a quiet cliffside, which was a nice respite from the party atmosphere of Mykonos (which was still accessible by a quick boat ride when the mood struck). Even the toiletries (by Naxos Apothecary) were to die for—I immediately ordered full-size bottles when I returned home.”

Octavia Casa, Mexico City, Mexico

@LAURENEGG

“Octavia Casa is extremely special,” beams Who What Wear Editorial Director Lauren Eggertsen. “It’s a peaceful oasis tucked away in the La Condesa region of Mexico City that has only 7 rooms which make the entire stay feel very intimate. Octavia Casa originates from the Mexican clothing brand OCTAVIA, so the taste is exuding from every corner of this minimally designed space. The hotel serves a stunning small breakfast every day in the lobby and drinks and snacks in the evening. You might be thinking this sounds like a bed and breakfast, but I can assure you the atmosphere here is much more refined and private than what you would expect, especially due to the size of the property. The staff is extremely friendly, the location could not be more idyllic, and your camera rolls will thank you since every corner of this property is wildly photogenic.”

Forestis, Dolomites, Italy

“I recently went to the Dolomites in Northern Italy during the offseason. High season is, of course, during the winter, as it’s a popular ski region, but it’s pretty spectacular to visit in late spring and summer. There are beautiful hikes and tons of scenic lakes, and there’s a Michelin-starred restaurant and a winery at every turn, so you eat and drink exceptionally well. I stayed at the luxurious Forestis Dolomites, which was full of honeymooners (the spa is insane!), so I guess the secret’s out now.” — Monica Mendal, contributing fashion, travel, and lifestyle editor at Vogue

Transformed from the private home of Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé as the final residence of the designer, Villa Mabrouka is undoubtedly one of the most exciting hotel openings of the year. Immersed in one of Tangier’s largest and most enchanting gardens, the intimate 12-room estate is a haven of tranquillity and calm. It’s located in a beautiful 1940s modernist house, offering sweeping views of verdant green, blue sky, and glittering sea from every turn.

Although Sicily is experiencing a spike in international buzz this year, its neighboring island to its south, the volcanic and Tunisian-influenced Pantelleria, has managed to remain an insider destination that stylish Italians keep all to themselves. When they opened the boutique hotel Parco dei Sesi, owners Margot and Massimiliano wanted to imbue the pillars of slow living that define the island into their space which is also home to an organic farm and an artist residency. The result is a 13-bedroom stay that TikTok describes as “rugged but luxurious” and where you can easily abandon your grasp on time and reality while you take in the panoramic views of the Mediterranean and North Africa.
