After spending a summer swayed by the toasty “Latte Make-up” trend, TikTok users introduced a twist, or should we say, added some matcha to the mix for another viral beauty look—the “Matcha Latte” make-up look. While it continues to draw inspiration from the creamy latte you start your mornings with—think a bronzed base—this look requires you to add a pop of green to your eyelids. Combine it with tones that complement the green on the cheeks and lips. With celebrities like Kendall Jenner, Selena Gomez, and Kylie Jenner hopping on the trend, it is most certainly ready to dominate the last leg of the year.
What makes the trend even more popular is that it is unique, versatile, and exceedingly easy to achieve! Read on to discover a step-by-step guide to recreate TikTok’s latest beauty buzz.
Step 1: Prepare a dewy base
Even though the eyes are supposed to be the hero of this look, it is imperative to not skip the groundwork. To make the eyes stand out, brew a lightweight, neutral base with a glowy foundation or skin tint and pair it with a brightening concealer. Create the perfect, radiant base.
Step 2: Designing the hero
To create the “Matcha” eyeshadow, start with applying your preferred eye primer and pick the right mid-toned green shade from a palette with diverse shades of green. Use a soft brush to seamlessly blend the shade out on your crease, extending it to the lower lash line. Add a dash of drama with a winged liner and some false lashes, and be ready to dazzle with your Matcha-infused make-up.
Step 3: Get cheeky
Choose a cream-based bronzer to slightly sculpt your face and define your cheekbones. For blush, choose a dusty pink or soft bronze shade that doesn’t overpower the look. Conclude this step by adding highlighter to the high points of your face.
Step 4: Choose a subtle lip colour
This is a crucial step. Ensure that the lips complement the "Matcha" eyes, rather than overshadowing it. Choose a nude or neutral pink lip colour and top it up with a luminous gloss or lip oil to complete the look. Make sure to add some setting power on your T-zone and lock it all up with a long-lasting setting spray.
