- Latte Makeup Trend: The Perfect Fall Beauty Look
Latte Luxe: The Best Variation of the Latte Makeup Trend for Fall Latte Makeup Trend: The Perfect Fall Beauty Look Latte Luxe: The Best Variation of the Latte Makeup Trend for Fall by Khadija Husain 9 Oct 2024 As the air gets crisper and we start reaching for our cozy sweaters, there’s a new beauty trend that’s perfectly aligning with those autumn vibes: the 'latte makeup' look. Just like your favorite cup of coffee, this trend is all about those warm, rich tones that scream fall—think creamy browns, soft caramel shades, and a touch of cinnamon warmth. It’s no surprise that 'latte makeup' has taken over our social feeds and become the go-to beauty vibe for the season. So, what exactly is latte makeup? Picture this: a flawless blend of bronzed, smoky tones that give off that just-got-a-latte warmth without going full-on dramatic. It’s subtle, sexy, and super wearable—perfect for those chill fall days when you want to look effortlessly polished without too much effort. The trend centers around creating a monochromatic look using shades of brown and taupe on the eyes, cheeks, and lips, with a soft, almost creamy finish. Let’s break it down. On the eyes, you’re looking at earthy, coffee-inspired shades that give your lids a soft, diffused wash of color. Whether it’s a matte, chocolatey brown or a glimmering bronze, the goal is to create a warm, smoldering eye look that feels cozy but still glam. Palettes like the Huda Beauty Nude Obsessions in 'Medium' (AED 145) are ideal for nailing those rich, latte-inspired shades. A swipe of something like Charlotte Tilbury's Eyes to Mesmerize in 'Chocolate Bronze' (around AED 150) will give you that creamy texture with a touch of shimmer, keeping it modern and fresh. Now, onto the cheeks. We’re all about that bronzed, sun-kissed glow, even as the weather cools down. The latte makeup look pairs beautifully with a natural, bronzy flush that adds warmth to the face without looking too heavy. Products like Fenty Beauty’s Cheeks Out Cream Bronzer in 'Teddy' (AED 145) are perfect for this—it blends seamlessly into the skin and gives you that warm, fall-ready glow. And the best part? It’s buildable, so you can go as subtle or as bold as you want. But let’s not forget the lips—the finishing touch to any latte-inspired look. Here’s where it gets really fun. Think caramel nudes, soft browns, or even a glossy mocha lip. Whether you go for a matte finish or something more glossy, the goal is to keep things warm and cozy, just like your favorite fall drink. MAC’s Lipstick in 'Velvet Teddy' (AED 110) is a classic for this look, with its rich, warm nude shade that works on almost every skin tone. Or, if you’re feeling the glossy vibe, Fenty Beauty’s Gloss Bomb in 'Hot Chocolit' (AED 95) is your go-to for that luscious, glossy pout that ties the whole latte vibe together. So, is latte makeup the perfect fall beauty look? Honestly, yes! It’s the kind of trend that feels super wearable, flattering, and totally on-brand for the season. Plus, it’s versatile—you can keep it subtle for everyday wear or amp it up for a night out by adding a bit more shimmer or going darker with your browns. It’s basically the makeup version of that cozy, oversized sweater you’re excited to pull out of your closet once the temperature drops. The latte makeup trend is also great for anyone looking to switch things up from the usual fall looks, like deep berry lips or smoky eyes. It offers something fresh and warm but still has that autumnal feel. So, whether you’re a makeup minimalist or love experimenting with new trends, this one’s worth a try. Just grab your favorite bronzer, sweep on some rich browns, and you’re ready to embrace fall in style—latte in hand, of course.

Since its inception in 1881, Seiko has remained steadfast in its commitment to pushing boundaries, guided by founder Kintaro Hattori's vision to always stay "one step ahead of the rest." A Glimpse into History: In 1924, Seiko made history with the introduction of its inaugural wristwatch proudly emblazoned with the Seiko insignia, marking a pivotal moment in the brand's storied legacy. As the centennial milestone approaches, Seiko embarks on a journey back in time, paying homage to this historic event with a new creation that embodies the vintage charm and timeless elegance of its predecessor. Timeless Design, Timeless Elegance: The new timepiece meticulously captures the essence of the original with painstaking attention to detail. From the distinctive Seiko lettering at 12 o'clock to the Arabic numerals adorning the dial, every element reflects the classic aesthetic of yesteryears, evoking a sense of nostalgia and reverence for the brand's rich heritage. Craftsmanship Elevated: At the heart of the timepiece lies the new Caliber 6R5H, a testament to Seiko's relentless pursuit of horological excellence. Featuring a 24-hour sub-dial and meticulously crafted Arabic numerals, the movement pays homage to its predecessor while embracing modern innovation. The enamel dial, painstakingly crafted by master artisan Mitsuru Yokosawa, ensures a timeless allure that will endure for generations to come. A Symbol of Resilience: Emblazoned with the trademark "S" symbolizing the Seikosha factory, the case back bears testimony to Kintaro Hattori's indomitable spirit in the face of adversity. Despite the challenges posed by the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923, Hattori's unwavering determination saw the launch of the iconic wristwatch a year later, marking a triumph of resilience and perseverance. Limited Edition Legacy: Available as a limited edition of 1,000 pieces, this commemorative timepiece will be cherished by collectors and enthusiasts alike. From its movable lugs to the pull-through leather strap, every element is meticulously crafted to ensure both comfort and durability, echoing the ethos of excellence that has defined Seiko for a century.

- PANGAIA SS26 Moves From Court to Coral in Dual Capsule Release
PANGAIA's SS26 dual capsule pairs court-ready performance wear with ocean-conscious design, powered by a new bio-based BioStretch fabric. PANGAIA SS26 Moves From Court to Coral in Dual Capsule Release PANGAIA's SS26 dual capsule pairs court-ready performance wear with ocean-conscious design, powered by a new bio-based BioStretch fabric. by Amal Riyah 15 June 2026 PANGAIA’s SS26 season moves across two worlds — performance on land, preservation at sea — in a dual release that connects material innovation with a broader environmental lens. The Courtside Capsule, the penultimate drop of Second Nature , reworks racquet sports codes into everyday silhouettes: clean, close-cut, and designed for ease of movement between court and city. At its core is (gaia)BioStretch, a new double-knit fabric made with bio-based nylon and elastane, shifting technical wear away from fossil-derived inputs while retaining stretch, recovery and softness. Alongside it, recycled nylon pieces in 100% GRS-certified fibres extend the same performance logic through a circular approach. Finishing technologies remain discreet but functional. HeiQ Cool™ regulates temperature continuously, while HeiQ Mint™ uses plant-based peppermint oil technology to extend freshness and reduce wash frequency. The collection itself stays minimal: racerback tanks, a fitted dress, and a skort for womenswear; hooded layers, track pants and shorts for menswear and unisex. A muted palette of Granite Navy, Ice Grey and Dewdrop Blue anchors the range, finished with subtle detailing and the ‘7 Circle P’ emblem. Running in parallel is PANGAIA’s second collaboration with Coral Gardeners, a limited-edition capsule focused on ocean restoration. The drop reworks a hoodie and T-shirt in organic cotton, both treated with PPRMINT™ technology to extend wear between washes, and detailed with understated graphics tied to the cause. Coral Gardeners began in Mo’orea, French Polynesia, and has since grown into a global reef restoration movement, with more than 220,000 corals planted across French Polynesia, Fiji and Thailand. Its work spans underwater nurseries, reef replanting and monitoring via CG Labs, alongside education and advocacy efforts. The urgency is clear: coral reefs support roughly a quarter of marine life, yet more than half have been lost in recent decades, with up to 90% projected to disappear by 2050 without intervention. PANGAIA has also made a financial contribution to support ongoing restoration work. The capsule launches globally on pangaia.com .

Price: AED 2,100 - AED 2,700 Versace Greca Logo Aero Inspired by the Spring/Summer 2026 collection, the Versace Greca Logo Aero brings fashion and horology together in a distinctly Italian way. The aerodynamic case, engraved Greca detailing, and signature Medusa motif create a watch that feels both bold and elegant.
