From toasted-blonde hair to neutral manicures, this shade whispers quiet luxury, being the perfect subdued addition to your beauty look. The trend has been around for a while, however with a slightly different name – the no makeup makeup look. We noticed the rise of latte makeup on social media. From brown lip colours and lip liners to a bronzed look, and brown nails. But the really impact comes from the hailed queen of the trend, Hailey Bieber, who had us all enthralled with her brand Rhode's toasted teddy blush and cinnamon roll peptide lip colour.
A warming, brown hue imbued with richness, to perfect the Mocha Mousse makeup trend you want to focus on creating a warm, velvety, and glowing complexion, with rich, chocolate-inspired hues, says Pooja Lalwani Tamang, Celebrity Makeup artist and Founder of FitFace, Homegrown Skincare Brand. Think soft neutrals, creamy textures, and a sophisticated, natural finish. This makeup style exudes a sense of indulgence and warmth—perfect for fall and winter when deeper tones are in season.
If you're looking for a guide to master the trend, Pooja takes us through a step-by-step process to achieve the look.
1. Flawless Base: Hydrated and Radiant
Start with prepping the skin to ensure a smooth and dewy finish. Begin with a hydrating primer and highlighter that also adds a touch of glow, such as the Valentino Beauty V-Lighter Face Base Primer and Highlighter. This will give your skin a radiant base without looking greasy. For foundation, choose a light to medium coverage product that offers a satin or natural finish, ideally with a hint of luminosity. Avoid matte formulas, as the key to the Mocha Mousse look is the creamy, glowing texture of the skin. Apply the foundation evenly, blending into the skin for an airbrushed appearance like the Huda Beauty Easy Blur Natural Airbrush Foundation.
2. Cheeks: Warm, Creamy Blush and Bronzer
The blush and bronzer combination plays a major role in creating a soft, warm glow. A cream or
liquid blush in shades like peachy mocha, soft terracotta, or burnt rose will help you achieve that
natural flush of colour. For bronzer, go for a warm, neutral tone that mimics the sun-kissed warmth of mocha. Apply it to the hollows of your cheeks, along your jawline, and around your temples. This creates depth and warmth, giving you a sculpted yet natural look. The Natasha Denona Bronze Cheek Palette is a must-have this season for a luminous finish that compliments any skin tone.
3. Eyes: Subtle Mocha Shades with Soft Shimmer
For the eyes, stick to soft mocha, taupe, and brown hues for a rich, sultry effect. The Makeup BymMario Master Matte is the perfect palette as it’s inspired by human skin tones. To keep the look fresh and radiant, add a subtle shimmer to the centre of the eyelid or the inner corners. A soft bronze or champagne shimmer will enhance the warmth of the browns without overwhelming the eye. For eyeliner, opt for a soft brown or deep plum liner instead of black. A gel or pencil liner works well, but keep the line thin and smudge it out for a more lived-in, smouldering effect. My favourite pencil for this look is the Hourglass Voyeur Waterproof Gel Eyeliner in the shade of Cave and Chestnut.
4. Brows: Full but Natural
For brows, you want to keep them defined but not too bold. Use the Benefit Goof Poof Eyebrow Pencil to get natural-looking hair-like strokes.
5. Lips: Mocha Nude or Rich Brown
The lips are crucial in this look, so opt for creamy lipstick in shades that mimic the warm, rich tones of mocha. A matte or satin finish in shades of warm nude, caramel, or deep brown will complement the overall warmth of the look. Start by lining your lips with a nude or brown lip liner to define the shape, then fill in with a lipstick that has a creamy consistency. If you want a bit of shine, lightly apply a clear or nude gloss to the centre of your lips for a fuller effect. Some brands that have amazing mocha shades are Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk, Mac Velvet Teddy, and Huda Beauty Lip Contour.
6. Finishing Touches: Dewy and Seamless
To ensure your makeup lasts all day, finish with a setting spray that adds a touch of dewiness, locking in the glow while keeping your makeup in a place like the Urban Decay All-Nighter Long Lasting Makeup Seering Spray. The Mocha Mousse look is all about blending warm tones, rich textures, and soft radiance for a sophisticated and elegant finish. It’s the perfect makeup style for the cooler months, providing both comfort and luxury with a glowing, natural look.
Overall, it was only a matter of time until brown made a major comeback. But we're crushing on the Mocha Mousse makeup trend.
