Applying face cream

1. Apply a face cream

I’m starting with a collagen cream that is an anti-wrinkle moisturizer. Rub that gently into your skin over your face and neck. 

Massaging under-eyes

2. Massage your under-eyes

My face is also feeling puffy, so I’m using a massager on the cool setting underneath my eyes.


You can also use ice, but make sure to roll it in a piece of cloth before you use it on your face to avoid any cold burns.

Applying serum stick

3. Apply a serum stick

This serum stick will smooth out your skin before you use anything over it.


Apply it, then rub and pat it in with your fingers.

Applying foundation

4. Apply foundation

Dot the foundation on your face and then blend it out with a foundation brush. 

Applying foundation

The nice thing about latte makeup is that you don’t have to go full coverage.


You can do either sheer, medium, or full or even use a tinted moisturizer or CC/BB cream. 

Applying foundation

Don't forget to bring your foundation down to your neck so your neck and face look like one piece.

Applying concealer

5. Apply concealer

Use the concealer around your mouth and underneath your eyes.


Don’t blend it immediately, since it gives more coverage when it’s more dry and tacky. 

Applying contour

6. Apply contour

Apply the contour with a foundation brush in the circumference of your face, in the hollows of your cheeks, and to define your jawline.


This will build some warmth and definition which is what you need for the latte look. Make sure to blend everything out really well. 

Applying contour

Add some contour to your nose with your fingers.

Blending concealer

7. Blend out the concealer

The concealer should be dried and tacky enough to blend it out with a brush.

Applying blush

8. Apply blush to your cheekbones (optional)

Blush for this look is optional, but if you’re going to use it, try something with a warmer shade. 

Applying blush

Apply it to your hand and sheer it out before applying it to the highest points of your cheekbones. 

Adding powder

8. Apply a translucent finishing powder

Use a small powder puff to set the areas where you used concealer. 

Baking makeup

9. Bake

Baking will add more definition, but make sure you’ve set the concealer first.


If you don’t, it can start to look cakey. 

Baking makeup

Let the powder sit for 3-4 minutes before you dust it off with a large powder brush.

Applying setting spray

10. Apply setting spray

This will allow the makeup to last and melt all the powders on your face to give you a skin-like finish.

Applying brow gel

11. Brush your brows with brow gel

Brush your brow hair upwards with a transparent brow gel.

Filling in brows

12. Fill in your brows

Fill in the bottom portion of your brows with a brown pencil. 

Cleaning up brows

13. Clean up the brows

Clean up underneath the brows with concealer.

Applying concealer to eyelids

14. Apply brown concealer on the lids

The easiest way to do brown eye makeup is to use a brown base such as a concealer. 

Applying concealer to eyelids

Apply the brown concealer to the lids to prime them and blend out the edges.

Shimmery eyeshadow

15. Apply a shimmery eyeshadow to the eyelids

Use any neutral shadow palette. 

Shimmery eyeshadow

I’m applying this brown shimmery shade to the center of my lid with my finger and blending it out.

16. Blend the edges with a medium shade

Grab a medium shade.

Applying eyeshadow

Use it to blend out the edges on both sides.

17. Deepen the edges with a dark shade

To further deepen the edges, use a dark warm-brown shade with a blending brush.

20. Deepen the upper lash line

Highlight the inner corner of your lower lash line.

Applying eye pencil

22. Apply eye pencil to your lower waterline

Apply a gold eye pencil to your lower waterline.

Applying mascara

23. Apply mascara

Curl your lashes and apply mascara. You can wear false lashes, if you like.

Highlighting face

24. Highlight your face

Highlight the highest planes of your face. The focus should be on the bronzer, so use very little.

Lining lips

25. Line your lips

I’m lining my lips with a neutral shade.

Applying lip balm

26. Apply lip balm

Apply a cooler brown lip balm to balance out the entire look.
