One of the hottest makeup trends right now is the Latte Look, using yellow-based browns and bronzes to create that sun-kissed monochromic neutral look. “As makeup artist and founder of the namesake brush line, Tanielle Jai tells TZR, “Latte makeup is defined by caramel tones, creamy skin, and nude lips.” Just like the delicious espresso drink it’s named after, the look is all about warm browns and velvety textures. That said, Jai notes that there’s one beloved makeup product that takes a back seat to this rising trend: blush. “Think tonal hues — more yellow-based browns and creams than the red-toned products that have always been trending, and no pinky blushes or rosy cheeks,” she says.” from The Zoe Report Of course, you can use a red-brown shade if the yellow-brown makes you look washed out. The whole point of makeup, including trends, is to find a look you like and work with it to your own coloring.
I have what I think is a perfect nude-brown lip shade from Peripera and if you are one that might want a more reddish shade on your lips to complete the Latte Look, Amuse has a really pretty marsala shade. I received both of these products from Jolse Cosmetic, a premier K-Beauty online store, complementary for review purposes.

I chose 15 Acorn Brown and I have to say, despite the “brown” name, this is a beautiful muted darker nude shade. It doesn’t leave me looking half dead or washed out, like many nude lippies. It is a cream matte color, without drying or flaking and has a really good applicator, so I can easily use this to first line my lips and then fill them in. The color has a blurring effect even without blotting my lips and the texture is a whipped chiffon. Another plus is that these lippies from Peripera do not have a horrible taste, like their Velvet Lip Tints. These do have ‘cones in it, so it glides on smoothly and there is an added benefit with anti-oxidant vitamin E.

This comes in a rectangular tube that hints at the color within with a slant tip applicator. This has a very creamy, yet light, texture that also looks a bit glossy initially, but dries down to a soft velvet finish. It doesn’t accentuate fine lip wrinkles, but helps smooth them out. This looks very bright in the tube, but it isn’t as bright on the skin ~ the shade is a bit more vibrant than “muted”, but if I blend it out, it becomes more muted. This is a nice brick red that works well with caramel browns and golds.

I love brown makeup and find that a nude blush is perfect for that slightly sunburnt look! Can’t wait for brown blushers!
Your lippie looks look super cool also! I was smiling a bit when I saw that one of the shades is called Seongsu-Dong. It’s a centrally located Seoul district close to where I live, a hip & happening place to be these days for the younguns.

By the by, I saw in your bio that you’re a data analyst. I used to study data analytics before getting into marketing but still have a lot of love for programming as a hobby and I do get to use analytics on the daily, albeit more as an end user. Any chance you would consider writing a post about makeup and data analysis, in some form or another (eg how do data analysts do their makeup, what are your analytical approaches to what skin care/makeup to use, etc)?
