Are you someone who is a coffee enthusiast but has a passion for makeup? If yes, the trending monochromatic, neutral latte makeup is something you will appreciate. Read along and learn from Danielle Jones how you can embrace warm, earthy tones and perfect the latte makeup with all shades nude.
The Latte look is a captivating blend of warm, earthy tones reminiscent of your favourite cup of coffee. A monochromatic look that is all about neutral, natural makeup and testamentary to “beauty lies in simplicity.” You can easily learn the art of perfecting this look and make it a go-to for all your outings. Expert makeup artist and Director at Bridgette Jones Fashion Salon, Danielle Jones throws some light on how to ace this look.
1. As the latte makeup is all about browns and neutrals, how versatile is it?
The latte look, with its emphasis on browns and neutrals, is quite versatile and can be worn for various occasions. It’s a timeless and natural look that can be carried off anywhere, anytime.
2. How can one balance all the browns to ensure that the look is flattering, especially considering the Indian skin tones?

To balance the browns and make them look flattering for Indian skin tones, consider choosing warm-toned browns that complement your skin’s undertones. Use shades that are slightly deeper or lighter than your skin tone for dimension, and don’t forget to incorporate a pop of colour on the lips or cheeks for balance.
3. Tell us one tip or hack to ace the latte makeup.
Always start with a well-moisturized and primed canvas. The key is to blend, blend, and blend. Blend your eyeshadows and any contour or bronzer shades meticulously to avoid harsh lines. A well-blended look appears more natural and polished.
I have another tip. For a cohesive monochromatic look, choose eyeshadow, blush, and lip colours from the same colour family. This monochromatic approach can create a harmonious and effortless appearance.

4. A word of caution while working with this look?
One common mistake when trying to achieve a neutral look is going too heavy with eyeshadow or contouring. Keep it subtle and build up gradually to avoid looking overly dramatic. Also, choosing the wrong undertone for your browns can make the look appear off-balance, so pay attention to whether warm or cool undertones suit your complexion.
Jones concludes the conversation as she says, “Practice makes one perfect. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t get the perfect neutral look right away. Practice and experimentation will help you refine your technique and find what works best for you. Remember that makeup is a form of self-expression, so feel free to adapt these tips to your personal style and preferences. Over time, you’ll develop your signature neutral look that suits you perfectly.”
