ICYMI, Latte makeup is TikTok's latest beauty trend. And we have to say: We're into it. The shimmery caramel shades?! The bronzy goodness?! The glow?! There's definitely a reason this look went viral, so we found the OG latte makeup tutorial just for you. 

Psst...this makeup look was originally created by MUA Tanielle Jai, but it got its super cute name from TikTok beauty influencer Rachel Rigler. "Latte makeup is warm, bronzy, milky and effortless," says Rigler. Music to our ears, sis. 

This look uses monochromatic browns in caramel-ish hues to keep it looking light. There are so many dreamy brown shades out there, but Jai uses these products to create her signature bronzy look:

1. Hindash Color Fluid

Hindash Color Fluid in Carve, $25

This color looks like chocolate milk, tbh. So excuse us while we go rub chocolate milk onto our eyelids. Also, this color is super pigmented for big color payoff—and it's easy to blend. 

2. Pink Honey Pixie Pen

Pink Honey Pixie Pen in Bora Bora Baby, $18.22

Jai uses this creamy pen to define the nose and eyes. Even if you don't want to contour, this really makes the eyes pop. It basically doubles as a second layer of eyeshadow in its own latte-esque shade.

3. Fenty Sun Stalk'R Instant Warmth Bronzer

Fenty SUN STALK'R INSTANT WAMRTH BRONZER in I$land Ting, $35

This matte bronzer is blendable and ready to *work*. To master this look, you'll need blendable products, and this bronzer is up to the task. 

4. MAC Cosmetics Gel Eyeliner

MAC Cosmetics Pro Longwear Fluid Eyeliner and Brow Gel in Dip Down, $19

Jai uses this gel eyeliner to finish the eyes before she adds lashes. It sets you up for a powerful but easy-to-blend liner look. Even though Jai creates a cat-eye, the brown hue and gel liner creates a definied but soft eye look. To apply, you'll need a liner brush like this one.

5. Pink Honey Bronzing Face Frosting

Pink Honey Bronzing Face Frosting in Fudge Glaze, $21.48

Umm...face frosting?! Yes, pls! Guess what, bb? It's another bronzer. Like we said, latte makeup is all about layering and blending monochromatic browns. 

6. Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Blush Wand 

Charlotte Tilbury Matte Beauty Blush Wand in Pillow Talk Peach Pop, $42

If you're wondering why we're adding peach all of the sudden, listen up! This peachy liquid blush works because all the browns we've been using have a yellow-ish base. Peach also has a yellow undertone, so it mixes well and adds a colorful pop to the cheeks. Now you're like a little peach latte.

7. MAC Cosmetics Lip Pencil 

MAC Cosmetics Lip Pencil in Oak, $24

This soft brown lip color literally looks like a cappuccino. Jai lines and fills the lips with this before topping it off with a gloss. 

8. Dior Addict Lip Maximizer

Dior Addict Lip Maximizer in 001 Pink, $40

Finally, Jai adds a soft pink color to add some shine to the lips. While the majority of this look is a mix of gorg browns, you can add in pops of soft pinks and peach without compromising the look.
