In case you haven’t heard, latte makeup is the latest beauty trend to blow up on TikTok. But the spin-offs are already coming thick and fast, and “Espresso Makeup” is here to give you a deeper, darker, sultrier rendition of the look if the grunge glam aesthetic is more your vibe.
Taking to her TikTok, content creator, Danielle Marcan posted a video titled “the grunge sister of the latte makeup”.
“The latte makeup is a huge trend right now, but let’s try and do an espresso makeup,” she said. “For this look the skin is demi-matte and sheer, so I’m going in with a skin tint,” Danielle added, applying the L’Oreal True Match Tint and a little of the Nars Creamy Radiant Concealer.
“The focus is all on the eyes but we want the skin to be even. A lot of bronzing and contouring as well,” she explained, using the Nudestix contour stick. “I’m only gonna bake under my eyes and around the T-zone and then on the rest of the face I’m just dusting some powder. But don’t apply to much because you still want to see this radiance, like a demi-matte finish,” said Danielle. For this she used the Givenchy Prisme Libre powder. “I’m then going over with a contour shade, this is Back To Bronze by L’Oreal Paris and I’m using this as a blush.”

“Now the fun part, for the eyes, we’re going to start with a brown pencil [Danielle used the L’Oreal Paris Paradise Kohl Pencil in Pure Espresso]. I’m just going over half of my lid and then just blend it. Same for the lower lid. Then take a cocoa shade eyeshadow [Danielle used the Too Faced Born This Way Sunset Stripped Palette] and then set this and bring it up to your brow. Then you’re gonna need a black pencil [Danielle used the YSL Beauty Crushliner]. Create a flick at the end of your eye and just contour your eye. Add it to your waterline, too. And then we’re gonna smudge it,” she said.

“We’re gonna need a lot of mascara,” she added, using the Lancome Hypnose mascara. “For your lips I want the brown shade so I’m using my brow pencil [Valentino Beauty Brow Trio in Taupe] and a nude lipstick [MAC Thanks It’s MAC lipstick]. And this is it, the espresso makeup,” Danielle explained.
