β€˜Latte Makeup’ is the Internet’s Latest Crazeβ€”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 β€œlatte” name).

So, What Is Latte Makeup?

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

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 β€” 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: β€œThey call this the β€œlatte 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 β€œlatte” 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 β€œwrong” 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 β€œlatte” makeup on different undertones

If your initial reaction to latte-inspired makeup looks is β€œNo 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 galsβ€”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 toneβ€”rather than wash it outβ€”is the key to making latte makeup work for you.

A Registered Dietician Swears by β€œThe Sleepy Girl Mocktail”–Here’s Why You Should Try It Too

Published on by Lee4 Comments

If you’re struggling to get more shut-eye at night, you’re not alone. According to the Casper-Gallup State of Sleep in America 2022 Report, one in three American adults (about 84 million people) describes their sleep as β€œfair” or β€œpoor.” It’s no secret that sleep is important, and we’ll try any hacks to make sure we get enough of it. Enter the Sleepy Girl Mocktail. Created to send you into a deep slumber, this buzzy wellness drink has taken over TikTok. But the real question is: does it work? As a wellness expert, I’m always interested in ingredients, so I took a deep dive into the mocktail to see if it can grant you those coveted eight hours of sleep. Keep reading to find out what you need to know before mixing it up for yourself.

What is the β€œSleepy Girl Mocktail?”

Maybe you’ve already seen the viral video, but if you haven’t, I’ve got you covered. Created by TikToker Gracie Norton, she shares that combining tart cherry juice and magnesium is a β€œmatch made in heaven for good sleep.” Here’s how to make the mocktail: Combine one teaspoon of Moon Juice’s Magnesium-Om and a cup of Lakewood Organic Tart Cherry Juice in a glass, then froth them together with a handheld frother, such as this one. Transfer the mixture to a wine glass filled with ice and top it off with a splash of Lemon Lime OLIPOP. The result is a great-tasting, fizzy drink that aids in sleep.

@iamdaisydraper

Have you tried the sleepy girl mocktail yet?? Check out @gracie_norton recipe and try it for yourself! All you need is tart cherry juice, magnesium glycinate in powdered form or magnesium drops, and a mixer (olipop is amazing). πŸ’ #sleepygirl #sleepygirlmocktail #naturalhealth #sleepaid #insomnia #magnesiumdeficiency #magnesiumglycinate #magnesiumdeficiency #wellnesstok #wellnesstips

Will it help you get better sleep?

Short answer: Maybe. Magnesium can help activate neurotransmitters that aid in relaxing your body for a good night’s rest. Additionally, some research has shown that magnesium may help reduce insomnia in older adults. When it comes to using a magnesium supplement for your own Sleepy Girl Mocktail, make sure you’re choosing the right kind. There are different types of magnesium, which have different side effects. Magnesium glycinate can aid in sleep, whereas magnesium oxide is used as a stool softener, so it’s best to opt for magnesium glycinate if your goal is better to sleep.

♬ original sound – Jenna W | No Stress Dietitian

Tart cherries contain two sleep-inducing components: tryptophan and melatonin. Tryptophan is an amino acid that helps the body produce the hormone melatonin, and melatonin is secreted in the body when it is time to transition to sleep. Additionally, tryptophan enables the production of serotonin, which allows us to relax. Bottom line: Cherry juice is a great choice for a nightcap.

While OLIPOP doesn’t have any additional benefits for sleep, it does include a great nutrient profile with nine grams of prebiotic fiber, making it a great choice for digestive health. It also comes in a ton of great flavors and adds a little fizz and fun to the mocktail.

Final thoughtsΒ 

There are a few things to keep in mind before implementing the Sleepy Girl Mocktail into your regular nighttime routine. As with all health and wellness trends, it is not one-size-fits-all. What works for some may not work for everyone. And if you do struggle with trouble sleeping, please consult your physician before beginning any supplements.

From a health standpoint, there’s certainly nothing wrong with combining the three ingredients for an evening drink, especially since there is research to back up its sleep-inducing benefits. That said, 8 oz. of tart cherry juice contains a large amount of sugar, so choose a juice that is pure tart cherry juice and be mindful of how much you pour into your glass. To avoid having a sugar spike before bed, consider drinking the mocktail for 1-2 hours before falling asleep. This will also help prevent having to get up to use the bathroom while you’re getting that much-desired Zzzs.

Is This $2 TikTok Trending Lip Liner A KKW Dupe?

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

Never thought we’d find a lip liner for $2… But here we are. Say hello to TikTok’s latest obsession: Italia Deluxe’s UltraFine Lip Liner, $2, AKA the lip liner creamier than butter but cheaper than your daily latte. Here’s why four million TikTokers (and us) cannot stop talking about it. 

The TikTok-Trending Lip Liner:Β Italia Deluxe UltraFine Lip Liner, $2

What it is: An easy-to-use pencil lip liner that glides effortlessly with minimal effort and zero tugging. Oh, and it’s available in 31 saturated shades.

The hype:Β Although humbly priced at $2, these pencils rival some of the best-selling formulas in the lip liner bizz (but more on that later).Β @loveashleyzenithΒ says she’d still buy them even if they were x5 more expensive – if that doesn’t explain the hype, we don’t know what will.

This is for anyone gutted that KKW Beauty’s lip liners were taken off the shelves – you’re in luck! Shade Light Brown of the Italia Deluxe lip liners is considered a near-perfect formula dupe of the discontinued Shade 2.5, a gorgeous golden brown. Plus, it’s MUCH cheaper. Fair warning, there’s a difference in the packaging (one’s a twist-up), but for that price point? We’ll take it.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a shade that doesn’t grab your attention. From coffee browns to burgundies, bold reds to berry mauves, there’s something for everyone. For a gorgeous nude shade, try Terra Cotta on fair complexions and Chocolate and Cabaret for a divine look on rich to deep skin tones.

What we liked: Discovering drugstore formulas is always exciting, but a $2 formula that performs better than its Spenny counterparts? That’s rare. It’s impossible to ignore how it delivers a shot of color with a single swipe – shook. Makeup newbies will adore its buttery texture, especially since it blends out in seconds, making it so much easier to line, sculpt, and define pouts.

FYI: Size matters with lip liners, and thankfully, these are longer than most, translating to increased product and value for the $2 bucks you spent. *Cue the squeals*

What we didn’t like: Cream lip liners – like this one – can be more likely to smudge, so don’t forget to re-examine your lip look every few hours. On the downside, regular top-offs also mean that pencils’ sharp tips are bound to become blunt after a few weeks. If only they included a built-in sharpener… But we’re just nit-picking here. 

The bottom line: STOCK UP! This pigmented lip collection is (undoubtedly) the drugstore steal of the century, with $2 lip liners in 31 colors. While we’re obsessed with the price tag and the shade range, we have to admit that our fave feature is that it blends like butttahhh – #love.

TikTok Taught Me: 6 Easy Hacks to Elevate Any Outfit

The best way to describe my TikTok FYP would be chaotic. The lucky girls’ syndrome debate and the Selena Gomez and Hailey drama have taken over my feed. But one thing TikTok is useful for, if not distracting us from everyday life? Practicalβ€”dare I say brilliantβ€”fashion hacks.

For a cohesive, β€œshe’s so put-together” look, pretend you’re an art major and follow this rule of color theory: no more than three colors in an outfit. And yes, that includes neutrals. When you’re feeling something playful like a pop of pink, be intentional by incorporating it in multiple ways, like with a handbag, hair accessory, or an oversized blazer.

I have an entire drawer dedicated to my turtleneck collection, but it took a 2 a.m. TikTok scroll to become enlightened: for extra polish, roll the neck inside versus out.
