A warm, subtly tanned, milky, and extremely luminous complexion: this is what characterizes ‘latte makeup’, which relies exclusively on bronze and caramel shades, for the face and eyes, excluding black eyeliner. The new variation proposed on the Chinese social network, called ‘espresso makeup’, looks like it to be mistaken with one exception. The complexion is even warmer, and the look much more intense. While the ‘latte makeup’ seems like a perfect makeover for summer days, its cousin is none other than a full-bodied version that will suit much better in the evening. In any case, this is what TikTok users seem to think, who swear by these two inspirations, with already nearly 5 million views for the hashtag #espressomakeup.
