Fresh From The Vine: Breaking Down TikTok’s Viral ‘Tomato Girl’ Trend Makeup

Published on by Lee5 Comments

TikTok never fails to introduce us to the latest niche style trends, and right now, the tomato girl aesthetic is taking our feeds! This captivating look has exuded carefree European vacation vibes, inviting us to bask in the relaxed ambiance of an Italian coastal getaway, sipping on an Aperol spritz without a worry in sight. Hashtags like #tomatogirl and #tomatogirlsummer have already amassed millions of views and counting, showing that this trend knows no boundaries and can be embraced by anyone, anywhere in the world.

What Is The ‘Tomato Girl’ Aesthetic?

The ‘Tomato Girl’ aesthetic is all about channeling the perfect Euro vacation with chic sartorial choices that feel effortless and exude carefree Mediterranean holiday vibes.

A ‘Tomato Girl’ wears reds, reminiscent of sun-ripened tomatoes from the local market and the color of the sun. White ruffle dresses, gingham patterns in baby blues, delicate florals or fruit prints, comfortable linen sets, triangle headscarves, and chic woven basket bags, are also common aesthetic choices.

So why tomatoes? Well, why not? “This aesthetic is inspired by a woman who is as bold and vibrant as the juicy tomato she holds in her hand. Whether we’re lounging on a beach or frolicking through a field, we can take a cue from the Tomato Girl and radiate confidence, vibrancy, and a zest for life.

Tomato Girls prioritize dips in the ocean over maintaining a blowout. Whether she’s heading to the local markets for fresh vine-ripened tomatoes or aperitivo hour for an Aperol spritz, the base makeup is light and is always Sunkissed and undone.

Want to hop on the tomato girl bandwagon? The easiest way is through your makeup! Let’s dive into the secrets of achieving this viral look and let the summer vibes flow.

What Does ‘Tomato Girl’ Makeup Look Like?

The tomato girl makeup is suited for those who hate spending a lot of time getting ready, but still want maximum results. Start with your favorite base routine of choice. During summer, we prefer a light layer of Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Positive Light Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20 Sunscreen, followed by a creamy concealer like Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Positive Light Under Eye Brightener along with Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Liquid Touch Brightening Concealer to dab beneath the eyes and on any blemishes. You can use a damp beauty blender for quick and easy application. 

Now, it’s time to add the tomato effect to the tomato girl makeup trend. The key to this look is a terracotta-based blush that will give you a rosy, tomato-like glow. After many trials, we’ve concluded that Saie’s Liquid Cheek Blush in Spicy – a warm terracotta, and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez’s Soft Pinch Liquid Blush- Love – matte terracotta are the key to unlocking the perfectly ripe flush. This highly pigmented shade works well on all skin tones. When applying, be sure to sweep onto the apples of your cheeks and blend out. Don’t be afraid to layer on more blush than usual to nail this look. For final touches, find a good lip gloss like Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Stay Vulnerable Glossy Lip Balm and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil to tie back into your rust-colored cheeks.

Basically, ‘Tomato Girl Makeup’ is all about simplicity at its finest, very similar to the ‘clean girl makeup‘. Keep things simple with multitasking products that can be applied in seconds, with or without a mirror. A touch of concealer (only where needed), a lip and cheek stain for a pop of color, curled lashes, a bronzer plus a swipe of clear brow gel should do the trick.

‘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.

Advertisements

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.

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: 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: Although humbly priced at $2, these pencils rival some of the best-selling formulas in the lip liner bizz (but more on that later). @loveashleyzenith 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.

@lovezenith_

I’ll still buy them even if they go up to $5 😂 #fypシ #foryou

Wanna buy 12 at once? Take notes from @kativoryia and shop their 12-pack on Amazon for just $9. #Beautybargains!

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*

@krissleos

Replying to @beautiful.nightmare.yt #greenscreenvideo @italiadeluxemakeup are the best lipliners that last and recommend to everyone!! #italialipliner #liplinerhack #liplinertutorial #makeuphacks #makeuptipforbeginners #affordablemakeup #dollarmakeup

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.

BTW, here are six ways to line, elevate, and plump your pout with lip liners.

It contains finely milled powders that soften the appearance of pores while moisturizing squalane and hyaluronic acid hydrate for a fresh finish. With eight shades that work on all skin types, it’s the easiest (and cheapest) way to attain that #RedCarpetGlow on bare skin or over makeup.

They even have twice as many shades as Fenty, so you can choose from peachy pinks, ruby reds, and golden browns to match anything in your wardrobe.

The Drugstore Dupe: Maybelline Cheek Heat Gel-Cream Blush, $8 Savings: $12

To keep your blush under budget, go for Maybelline’s water-based blush. Like Glossier’s blush, it’s a gel-cream tube that applies and blends effortlessly, achieving everything from a rosy flush to a dewy, sunkissed glow in seconds. Pro tip: mix, match, and layer any of the six shades in their collection if you’re feeling playful!

TikTok-Trending Dupe for KVD Beauty Vegan Beauty Good Apple Foundation, $43

It’s infused with green tea, lily, and bamboo extracts that balance oil production while vitamin E nourishes the skin.

TikTok-Trending Dupe for Huda Beauty Power Bullet Cream Glow Hydrating Lipstick, $25
