"Latte Makeup" is the hottest new beauty trend taking over our social media feeds, and best of all, it's perfect for fall (really, any time of year, to be honest). Latte Makeup is all about using monochromatic brown and neutral tones. Keep reading to learn how you can easily recreate this look below.

Base
Latte makeup starts with a luminous, bronzy complexion — no heavy foundation. Use the fmg Cashmere 24 Hour Concealer to add coverage where needed. Avoid applying too much product around your nose and inner cheeks to allow your freckles to shine through. Use the pointed tip of The Crème Shop Double Edge Cut Blending Sponge to blend it in. TIP: Remember to wet your makeup sponge before using it!

Contour
Now, it's time to snatch your face — just a bit. Use the fmg Match Wand Foundation Stick to contour. To contour, draw lines along the hollow of your cheekbones, jawline, forehead and nose. Make sure to use a shade two-three shades darker than your foundation shade. Use The Crème Shop Double Edge Cut Blending Sponge to blend it in.

Bronzer
Time to get that bronzy glow! When using bronzer, you'll want to apply it to places where the sun will naturally hit your face. Use the fmg Colors of LOVE Sun-Kissed Cushion Bronzer and its applicator to apply it lightly across the top of your forehead, on the high points of your cheekbones, a little on your nose and along your chin. To set it, use the fmg Blush & Contour Brush to add a bit of fmg Colors of LOVE Heart-Warming Bronzer Matte Mineral Powder on top of where you applied your cream liquid cushion bronzer.

Eyes
Now, it's time for the star of this makeup: the eye look. You'll want to start with the fmg Glimmer Multi Eyeshadow Quad in Maven. Dip the fmg Eyeshadow Blending Brush into the top right shade (or any neutral shade of your choosing) of the palette and apply it all over your lid as your base. To add more dimension, use the fmg Precision Eye Brush to apply a darker eyeshadow shade on the outer corner of your eye and blend it into your crease. Mix and match any neutral brown shades you want. Apply fmg Cashmere 24HR Cream Eyeliner in After Dark to your waterline for more depth. Then, apply fmg CathyCat Curl & Flare Mascara to your lashes.

Brows
Eyebrows are often kept more natural-looking for this trend. Simply use the fmg Colors of LOVE Hi-Brow Sculpting Brow Gel to groom your brows into place.

Lips
Top off your look with a neutral and glossy lip color like fmg Love Lip Butter in Tease.
