Latté Makeup
Latté Makeup embodies a sun-kissed appearance reminiscent of a latté’s rich hues. This style incorporates bronze, tan, and brown shades that harmonize with your specific skin tone. While adapting the colours to match your complexion and undertones, the ultimate goal is to achieve a radiant and invigorated finish that exudes a caffeine-infused glow!

Espresso Makeup
Espresso Makeup is the spin-off of Latté Makeup- it captures the essence of deep, intense shades akin to a strong espresso. It centres around rich, dark tones that evoke the spirit of this robust beverage. The palette allows for creativity, enabling you to experiment with various shadows and hues that mirror the complexity of espresso. The final look should mirror the depth and allure of your favourite coffee shot.

Brown Lip Liner & Gloss Combo
The timeless appeal of a brown-toned lip is undeniable, and while it’s a familiar style, its resurgence has ignited the online sphere for several months. Stemming from diverse variations inspired by the ’90s brown lip combination, this trend has taken the digital world by storm. This harmonious duo strikes a balance between definition and brilliance, resulting in lips that are both well-defined and irresistibly radiant.

Strawberry Makeup
Hailey Bieber‘s TikTok tutorial on August 5 detailed her process for achieving an every day “strawberry girl makeup” look. Unsurprisingly, her tutorial sparked a trend, prompting other creators to share their own take on this fruity makeup style. This trend has gained immense traction, amassing over 23 million views on TikTok.
The “strawberry girl makeup” trend echoes the viral “I’m Cold” makeup trend from last winter. While the latter focused on a blush-intensive style with shimmer on eyelids and cheekbones, the strawberry look stands out by incorporating freckles to resemble the seeds of a real strawberry.
