Fall—it’s the season of knits, trench coats, boots, pumpkin spice lattes…and latte-inspired makeup? “Latte Makeup” is the latest trend to hit the beauty world. Just in time for fall, this warm, bronzed look is all over the internet, currently trending on TikTok with over 230 million views.
Inspired by creator Rachel Rigler, this trend is a neutral, monochromatic look, made up of warm-toned colours using different shades of browns and creams. The darker colour palette makes it perfect for fall, and the glowy, milkiness of the look keeps it fresh and light, as we come off minimal makeup from the summer.

Celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Lori Harvey and Gigi Hadid have been trying out this coffee-toned look for red carpets, fashion shows and everyday wear.

What’s great about this trend is that it’s extremely adaptable to any type of skin tone. For fair, cool undertones, TikTok creator, @thestacychen, suggests using shades of brown that have a pink undertone, rather than a yellow or orange like many bronzers typically have. For darker undertones, TikTok creator @iamsabsali layers a slightly darker concealer to her cheekbones and forehead for added warmth to the face. She also uses more gold, caramel-toned highlights and bronzers.
The key elements of latte makeup include a creamy bronzer for the base, glowy highlight for a bright, dewy element, and brown eyeliner for a warm-toned eye look.
Below, five makeup products you can use for the perfect latte makeup.
Matte Cream Bronzer Stick, Milk Makeup
Latte makeup revolves around a bronzed face, which means a bronzing product is essential. This creamy bronzer stick by Milk Makeup is easy to blend, while adding a subtle contoured look to the face. It’s the perfect, natural base.
Price: $32
Hollywood Contour Wand, Charlotte Tilbury
If you want a more intense, sculpted look, this Charlotte Tilbury Contour Wand will do the trick. The liquid texture still allows for a blendable, lightweight and milky look, but the overall stronger pigment of the product can help create a sharper contour. This product also has a subtle glowy finish and is the perfect product for a more matte version of the trend.
Price: $57
Backstage Glow Face Palette in Glitz, Dior
The next element of this makeup look is the dewy finish. For a natural glow, try out this Dior highlight palette. The warmer highlights are the perfect coffee colours, creating a warm-toned shimmer. It’s also a great option as the four different highlights in the palette can complement different skin tones perfectly.
Price: $60
Perfect Strokes Longwear & Waterproof Gel Eyeliner in True Brown, Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez
While black eyeliner may be too intense for this look, brown eyeliner can help create a sultry, smokey, yet natural effect for your eyes. This cocoa brown eyeliner is the ideal shade for this makeup trend. Add a bit of this liner to the outside of your waterline and lash line and pair it with a warm-toned eyeshadow for an espresso-like look.
Price: $26
Gloss Bomb Heat Universal Lip Luminizer + Plumper in Hot Chocolit, Fenty Beauty
Every makeup routine needs a finishing touch and this Fenty Beauty gloss is the perfect final step to the Latte Makeup look. This shade adds a glossy, but subtle tint of brown to the lips. The Gloss Bomb also plumps and makes your lips shine while tying in all the warmer, richer shades on the face. In addition, it’s a flawless finish to any fall makeup routine.
Price: $35.50
