Normally, one would put blush on the apples of the cheeks and call it a day. However, the under-eye blush hack is changing the game. Apply your foundation of choice for an even complexion. When itâs time to spot and treat any blemishes, grab your blush, too. Many beauty enthusiasts are diehard fans of Rare Beautyâs Soft Pinch Blush, Saie Dew Blush Liquid Cheek Blush, Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush, and Charlotte Tilbury Matte Beauty Blush Wand because the creamy formulas make them easy to blend, but any liquid blush will provide the same results. Dab a bit of the blush in the outermost corner, but donât blend it right away! Add a dab of concealer: first with the lightest shade of concealer near the inner corner, followed by a darker shade in the middle, and blend with a BeautyBlender. This trend multitasks by brightening the under eyes and lifting cheekbones, all in one blend. The mix of colors does wonders in concealing discoloration and dark under bags.
For the ultimate rosy cheeks, you can set the under-eye area with a powder blush that is similar in shade to the liquid formula applied. But if you want a more muted, natural look, setting with a translucent pressed powder works all the same. This blush placement does wonders in color correcting, while also resulting in a vibrant, more feminine makeup look thatâs perfect for daily wear. Plus, the higher placement of blush gives a sculpted effect that makes it look like we use our NuFace daily.
Another day, another TikTok trend emerges. This time, the main focus is on the lips. Users of the app are obsessed with cherry cola lips, with the hashtag already amassing well over 12.8M views.

It feels incredibly luxeâit comes in gold packaging, max hydration, and buildable color and it has an immediate cooling sensation, which feels amazing.

When Mary Phillips shares makeup advice, we listen. The makeup artist works with stars like Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, Priyanka Chopra, Salma Hayek, Dua Lipa, and Hailee Steinfeld. Most recently, Phillips found herself in the limelight for underpainting, a viral contour technique that involves contouring and highlighting the face before putting foundation on.
Since then, Phillips has shared makeup tutorials and hacks on her Instagram and TikTok. Her most recent tutorial involved “cherry cola lips,” which have gone viral on TikTok. Cherry cola lips involve lining your lips using a nude or burgundy lip liner before filling them in with cherry-red lip color and finishing with a gloss.Â
Inspired by the colors in a glass of cherry-flavored Coke, this lip trend plays with textures and colors for a fun and flirty look perfect for late summer. Keep reading for Phillips’ take on the trend.

Step 1: Line
Start by lining your lips with a nude pencil or pick a burgundy-leaning tone to pack a bit more punch. Phillips chose a tawny-colored neutral and over-lined her cupid’s bow.
Let me be the first to say that Iâm all for ending the internetâs obsession with naming beauty and fashion trends after seemingly random foods (tomato girl? blueberry milk nails? SOS). However, if thereâs one food-or-drink named trend that I can get behind, itâs latte makeup. Aside from being admittedly aptly named, the viral look is easy to recreate and is uber-flattering on all skin tones and eye colors.
The latte makeup trend is essentially exactly what it sounds like a sultry, bronzed makeup look created with different natural shades of brown. Warm coffee colors are highlighted through a creamy bronzer, a smudged brown eyeliner, and ajuicy but neutral-toned lip. For those of you with perpetually rosy cheeks, latte makeup is a win because it eliminates bright pink or red blushes and instead focuses on more bronze, neutral tones. The term was coined on TikTok by beauty guru Rachel Rigler, but the look itself originated from Australian makeup artist Tanielle Jai (who, for those invested, has stated that she is totally behind the âlatteâ name).

So, What Is Latte Makeup?
Say hello to âlatte makeup.â And just like the countless coffee orders that range from every single shade of espresso and beige â the trend, too, is all about using natural shades of browns and bronzes to create a truly sun-lit glam.
Why underpainting, you ask? Well, the method creates a softly contoured look underneath your favorite products. And to get the best results, you typically should be reaching for lightweight complexion products, like glowing skin tints with a more sheer, buildable finish.

As for the inspo pic that the latte glam is based on? Well, Australian-based Tanielle Jai is the makeup artist behind the look (which dates back to around 2018). In a recent Instagram post, she notes: âThey call this the âlatte makeupâ but itâs just bronzed makeup using caramel tones.â
Of course, if youâre watching The Idol, you may see a similar sultry look on Lily-Rose Depp, throughout summer, this toasty, sun-kissed glam has been everywhere.
With over 28M views and counting, itâs time to sip on this cafĂŠ au lait trend. Donât worry, weâve got you covered with an easy breakdown on how to achieve the latte girl makeup look.
How to recreate the âlatteâ makeup look
The bronzy, glowy base
The base of the latte makeup look includes a sheer-coverage foundation or skin tint, cream bronzer, concealer, and a powder bronzer to seal it all in. To achieve a natural, sun-kissed effect, Rigler recommends putting your foundation or skin tint everywhere except your nose to let your natural freckles come through; you can also use a freckle pen to create freckles after finishing the base. Add a healthy amount of cream bronzer or contour to your cheeks, a little bit of concealer wherever you need it, and blend well. Finish with a powder bronzer, and you have a latte makeup base.
After watching dozens of latte makeup tutorials, I can confidently say that there is no âwrongâ way to achieve a latte eye. For an everyday recreation of the look, you can blend your powder bronzer into your crease, add a bit of smudged brown eyeliner to your lash line, and call it a day. If you want to make your latte makeup look to be a bit more glam, use a darker brown eyeshadow in your crease, add a smudged brown eyeliner to both your lash line and water line, and pop a bit of gold eyeshadow on your inner corner for a sexier iteration. Regardless of how you opt to create your latte eye look, minimal mascara is key for allowing the brown tones to shine.
To finish your latte look, a neutral lip is the way to go. Grab your favorite nude, caramel-toned, or brown lip liner, and finish with a gloss that contributes to the melted effect of the makeup. In her original latte makeup tutorial, Rigler takes the excess bronzer and foundation left over on her beauty blender and pats it over her lips before applying liner for an even more neutral look.
How to recreate âlatteâ makeup on different undertones
If your initial reaction to latte-inspired makeup looks is âNo way, thatâs not for me,â think again. Many of the original pictures and videos of the viral trend are used on people with bronzed, olive complexions, but the look is just as flattering on fairer and deeper skin tones alike. (Thatâs right, fair-skinned galsâyou donât need to self-tan to high heaven to achieve the look).

Jai has released several follow-up videos explaining how to recreate latte makeup on different undertones. People with cool undertones should lean into ashy, taupe-y browns, while those with warm undertones should seek out browns with a pinker undertone. Prioritizing shades of brown that will compliment your skin toneârather than wash it outâis the key to making latte makeup work for you.
