If you’ve ever been mesmerized by the milky swirls in a fresh latte, you’re not alone. In fact, the notoriously creamy brown caffeinated beverage has inspired an entire makeup trend called– you guessed it– latte makeup. And Maybelline New York has everything you need to get this buzzy look.
What is latte makeup?
As its name implies, this coffee-inspired look is all about monochromatic browns. The bronze makeup look calls for sun-kissed skin achieved by a combination of foundation and bronzer followed by other elements of universally flattering brown.
Thanks to the many different shades of brown, with some skewing warmer and others more cool-toned, this trend works across all skin tones. Because of this, anyone is able to rock this trend once they find their shade matches. If you don’t know your undertones, a quick trick is to look at the color of your veins. If they’re blue or purple, you’re probably cool-toned, if they’re more green, you’re likely warm-toned, but if you see a combination of blue and green, you may be neutral. Knowing this can help you to choose the brown and nude shades that best flatter you for this trend.

How to do latte makeup
The great thing about the latte trend is that it’s essentially just nude makeup, but a little elevated thanks to some extra touches that can come in the form of some faux freckles or an inner corner eye highlight. Just as you can personalize your order at the coffee shop, latte makeup is all about customization.
