Think caramel-hued lids, delicious chocolate-tinted high-shine lips, and a generous swipe of bronzer – there you have it, the coveted ‘latte makeup’ look that’s been doing rounds on the ’Gram. Spearheaded by TikToker Rachel Rigler, who coined the term to describe a makeup artist’s warm, bronzed look for a campaign shoot in 2018, Tinseltown was quick to embrace the gilded, albeit minimalist look, with the likes of Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner, and Hailey Bieber being the latest to sport the trend.
If you, too, are hoping to jump on the latte bandwagon, you’ve come to the right place. Scroll on for the ultimate curation of Nykaa’s international range to get the look stat.
Let Your Eyes Do the Talking
After much deliberation, the consensus is that you must do your eye makeup before your base – in case there’s a fallout in your eyeshadow, you can clean it up before starting your foundation. Swipe a rich, copper-toned eyeshadow from the I’M MEME What’s In My Bag palette across the lids for a sultry, smokey appeal. For a night on the town, dab on a glitter shadow for instant glamour.
But if you’re an ombré-loving girl, the HINDASH Monochromance Gradient Palette is for you. If you are fair complexioned, swipe the shade Alter + Ego for a flattering nude look, and if you have a medium or olive tone, go for the shade Match + Made on your lids. You could also invite a warm, summery tint to your eyes with the shade Heart + Throb!
A super volumising mascara that’ll draw attention to your peepers is what you need next. Consider the CLIO Kill Lash Superproof Mascara Long Curling in Choco Brown for lustrous, lifted lashes. The long-wearing, waterproof formula curls your eyelashes while keeping clumping and greasiness at bay.
Get Your Base in Place
Invest in CHACOTT’s Fit Foundation, a waterproof formula that boasts SPF 50 PA+++ to protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Ideal for lighter skin tones and delivering full coverage, the weightless, long-lasting foundation will stay put through the day.
Add Warmth and Dimension
Now, you must turn to a blush and bronzer to add warmth and a youthful glow to your face. Ere Perez’s Rice Powder Blush & Bronzer in Tulum and Roma shades are ideal for achieving a chiselled look. Perez’s blush-bronzer duo, enriched with vitamin E and chamomile, is super-blendable, lending you a velvety smooth finish in just a few strokes. Swipe across your cheekbones, along the bridge of your nose, and on the forehead.

Once your base and eye makeup are complete, it’s time to head to your pucker. Dab on Espressoh’s Aroma Lipstick in the shade In Bed on your pout to get your overall look together. Imbued with coffee arabica seed oil, the pigmented formula boosts lip hydration too! PS. If you desire a more glam appeal, slather on a generous helping of a high-shine gloss.
