Latte Makeup Tutorial

Step 1: Bronzed base 

• The key to any makeup look is creating the perfect canvas, so you’ll want to start by cleansing your face and applying your usual skincare routine – don’t forget to moisturise! 
• Next, apply a hydrating primer to ensure your makeup stays put all day. 
• Apply a few pumps of tinted moisturiser or foundation and blend it in using either a damp beauty sponge or buffing brush for a seamless finish. 
• Using an angled makeup brush, apply a powder contour across your hairline, jawline and cheekbones to sculpt the face. You can then blend it in using the same tool you applied your foundation with. 
• To keep things latte-related, avoid opting for red/pink-toned blushes, instead opt for peachy shades to create a natural flush. 
• Using either a kabuki or fan brush, apply bronzer across your cheekbones and forehead to bring warmth to the face. 
• For a super sun-kissed look, add some faux freckles by dotting a black/brown eyeliner pen across the tops of your cheeks and nose. 
• Complete your base by applying a caramel-coloured highlighter across the tops of your cheekbones and the tip of the nose using a fan brush. 

Step 2: Espresso eyes

• Sweep a medium-dark brown eyeshadow (cooler skin tones tend to best suit taupe shades whereas warmer, deeper skin tones look great with espresso shades) across the lid using an eyeshadow brush. 
• Using the same brush, run a darker shade of brown into the outer corner of your eye and through the crease and blend it out using a fluffy brush. This will help to bring dimension to the eye look.  
• To dial up the glam, apply a caramel/golden shimmer shade to the inner third of the eyelid as well as the inner corner of your eye. 
• To give the appearance of thick and full lashes, trace the lash line with a cocoa-coloured eyeliner pencil and use your finger to smudge it in. 
• Curl your eyelashes with an eyelash curler and follow it up by applying 1-2 coats of lengthening mascara.

Step 3: Brows that wow

• No makeup look is complete without a pair of perfectly defined brows! To start with, use an eyebrow spoolie to brush through your brows. This will help to neaten them as well as highlight any sparse areas. 
• To define the shape, take an eyebrow pencil in your desired shade and draw on feathery, hair-like strokes in any areas that you’d like to appear fuller. 
• To blend the product in as well as set your brows in place, brush through your brows with a clear or coloured brow gel – whatever your preference! 

Step 4: The perfect pout

• To accentuate your lips, trace the outer edges of your lips with a rich, coffee-coloured lip liner that’s a couple of shades darker than your natural lip colour. 
• Apply a matte brown lipstick in a shade lighter than your lip liner. 
• Add some shine by following up with a creamy, caramel-coloured gloss to complete the latte look!
