From double espresso to vanilla latte, this summer’s make-up trends are all inspired by our favourite morning cup of joe…


While social media can sometimes be overwhelming when it comes to beauty recommendations and product launches, it can also be a great source of inspiration. This summer, coffee-inspired looks are trending, with latte, cappuccino and espresso make-up looks dominating our feeds.

Now we’ll be honest with you – these coffee-inspired make-up trends might not be exactly breaking the mould. They’re your classic brown-toned smoky eyes, bronzed summer skin and terracotta-warmed lips, all neatly wrapped up and repackaged with a new artistic name. But that doesn’t mean they’re not a form of gorgeous summer beauty creativity that you can totally take inspiration from, if you so choose. 

“The latte trend really encapsulates the matte neutral tones of classic 90s make-up,” says celebrity make-up artist Hannah Martin

“Think monochromatic make-up – latte-toned shadows, coffee lip liners and neutral blush. The Makeup By Mario Master Mattes is the perfect palette for this look with every coffee tone available.”

Want to get in on the trend? Shop some of our favourite coffee-toned make-up products below…
