The #espressomakeup trend has gone globally viral on TikTok with 3.7 billion views. Yes, 3.7 billion.
This new makeup look has been inspired by celebrities like Emily Ratajkowski and Pretty Little Liars actress Shay Mitchell’s who have enthusiastically adopted this sultry look with its smudged smokey dark eyes.
Ceryn Lawless, Communications Editor for online beauty retailer Escentual.com said:
“The Espressomakeup trend has totally blown up in the past few weeks and is the older and grungier sister of the #lattemakeup look. It features a prominent caffeine dark smokey eye, in addition to the sculpted complexion and creamy coffee-coloured shimmers of the latte look.
“With the espresso look the focus is much more on eyes and the key products to create it are eyeshadow palettes with a range of coffee colours to give depth to this smokey eye style.”
