Aakriti Jayant Chhaparia, co-founder, LaMior, says, “The go-to makeup looks that come into trends are almost always inspired by the red carpet look and this season was all about the perfect latte makeup look – a striking balance of browns and soft bronzes that is as timeless as it is chic. Universally flattering and effortlessly transitioning from dawn to dusk, the latte look adopts warm, earthy tones with a touch of shimmer and a seamless blending. It captures the essence of neutral, natural beauty.”
Embark on a beauty journey that indulges your senses with the perfect latte-inspired makeup look. “Much like the comforting blend of espresso and frothy milk, this makeup routine combines warm tones and subtle elegance for a result that’s both inviting and sophisticated,” says Paridhi Goel, co-founder, Love Earth.
Chhaparia recommends, selecting warm-toned browns that align with your undertones. Play with shades for depth and balance, and don’t forget the finishing touch – a pop of color on lips or cheeks. With the latte look, you’re not just wearing makeup; you’re embracing a signature style that’s as unique as you are.
Perfect Tutorial
To achieve the perfect latte-inspired makeup look, start with a smooth base by applying a hydrating primer. “Just as a latte is known for its seamless blend of coffee and milk, aim for a flawless complexion by using a foundation that matches your skin tone,” says Dyuti Waghray, co-founder, Defi Beauty.
For the eyes, opt for neutral tones reminiscent of coffee shades. Blend a caramel or mocha eyeshadow into the crease, followed by a shimmering gold or bronze on the lids. Winged eyeliner can add a touch of sophistication, resembling the elegant swirl atop a latte.
“Enhance your cheeks with a subtle bronzer or a peachy blush. Choose a soft, nude lip color to mirror the understated elegance of a latte. Complete the look with a touch of highlighter on the high points of your face, replicating the sheen of a well-crafted espresso. Set your makeup with a translucent powder for a matte finish that lasts as long as the comforting aroma of your favorite latte,” adds Waghray.
Define your lashes with a volumizing mascara to open up your eyes. Achieve a natural brow look by filling in sparse areas with a brow pencil or powder. For the lips, choose a warm nude or terracotta lipstick, mirroring the hues found in a perfect latte. Enhance the lips further with a gloss for a subtle sheen.
Finish the look by setting everything in place with a light mist of setting spray. The result: a makeup masterpiece reminiscent of the comforting and inviting tones of a delightful.
