The latte makeup trend is one of the viral makeup looks for 2023 on the TikTok platform. The latte makeup concept involves incorporating various shades of brown, including tan and gold to create a warm and dimensional look on the skin.
According to Teen Vogue, Donya Momenian, an associate fashion and beauty editor at Teen Vogue, explained that the inspiration for this trend came from Australian makeup artist Tanielle Jai. She was the one who created the bronze-colored shimmery look in 2018 and it went viral on TikTok in late spring 2023. 

“Latte makeup aims to give skin a beautiful, lustrous look, similar to the warm, appetizing color found in a delicious latte drink,” explains Rebecca Restrepo, a celebrity makeup artist, as reported by Real Simple.

 

2. Cherry cola lip

Cherry cola lip is also the 2023 viral makeup trend on TikTok, replacing the latte makeup trend. Combining shades of red and brown and using makeup products with a shimmery effect, cherry cola lip gives a fun and fresh look with a carbonated or fizzy twist. 

“The cherry cola lip trend is inspired by the intense, deep color of cherry-flavored cola drinks,” explains Yasmin Salmon, a makeup artist, as reported by Vogue.

Unlike the previous trend, this style lets the original color of the lips show through the layers of vibrant color, creating a bold lip look. Moreover, this trend can be tried by anyone by finding shades that suit their individual skin tone.
Celebrities like Mary Philips, Kylie Jenner, and Amelia Gray have become fans of the cherry cola lip. So, it’s no wonder there’s been an increase in the popularity of this trend in the beauty industry.

3. Douyin makeup

The term “douyin makeup” is derived from the Chinese social media app Douyin, which was created by ByteDance in 2016. This makeup style of douyin makeup creates a doll-like look.
There are three key elements to achieving the douyin makeup look: shimmery eyeshadow and smooth eyeliner, very red cheeks, and soft, blurry lips. Many think it’s similar to the Korean beauty trend, but Douyin is distinctive in its own right with a signature lash style known as manhua lashes and a specific blush technique that creates a V-shape on the chin, nose and temples.
