Put down the blush and that popping red lipstick, because this look’s power is in its subtlety. The busy beauties are doubling down on effortless neutrals and natural, bronzed tones. Like the creamy drink, the latte look leaves the face looking warm, velvety, and with a nude lip—good for all weather.
The makeup trend came to prominence in part due to its inclusivity—light, medium, rich, and deep complexions all look gorgeous going latte, with small adaptations made for individual undertones. The phrase was coined by TikTok influencer Rachel Rigler based on a 2018 look by makeup artist Tanielle Jai.
“Another makeup trend?” I know what you’re thinking, but you can likely create this look from makeup basics already in your cabinet: a tinted moisturizer, concealer, bronzer, some eyeshadow, and a lip pencil will have you living your best latte life.
