Coffee, cappuccino, latte … they’re all devilishly delicious and now they’re coming to makeup products too. Those warm browns and beiges that remind us of our favourite cups of Joe are becoming the go-to colours of this winter’s best makeup palettes. If you’re a coffee fiend like I am, you’ll love wearing your favourite coffee shades as much as you’ll love drinking them. —Jennifer Cox
The Espresso brown Eye Shadow from MAC Cosmetics ($29) is a highly pigmented powder that applies evenly and blends well. This saturated shadow formula stays on all day long with non-creasing, eight-hour wear. The result is vibrant colour payoff that can be used wet or dry. It’s available in a kaleidoscope of colours, textures and finishes.
Morphe’s Dripglass Drenched High Pigment Lip Gloss ($18, available at Sephora Canada) comes in a warm, brown nude called Drip Coffee. It covers the lips in rich, high-coverage colour and offers undeniable glass-like shine. It’s infused with cocoa butter, vitamin E, and chia and olive oils that leave lips feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated.
The Soft Matte Complete Concealer from NARS ($34, available at The Bay) comes in delectable flavours like Dark Coffee, Crema Glace, and Café Con Leche, to name just a few. They’re a full-coverage, oil-free concealer that hides and blurs imperfections with a soft-matte, natural-looking finish. They are all richly pigmented and deliciously sophisticated.
L’Oreal Paris’ Color Riche Mono ($7, available through Amazon Canada) in Café au Lait is a tasty choice. This unique product, which has rich colours, goes from a gel to powder and has a soft, velvety texture. It’s available in both shimmery and matte finishes.
Essie Expessie Quick-dry Nail Polish ($10, available at Walmart Canada) has a soft brown called Cold Brew Crew that you’ll love. If this stunning shade weren’t enough, expressie dries in about a minute so you can grab, try, and apply on the fly. The patented angled brush allows for easy application with both hands too.
