"Latte-inspired makeup comes around every few years, but the chai trend is the most autumnal one yet. To paint a picture, creator @ vilcreates used earth-toned eyeshadow and burnt blush for a toasted effect, then added a few highlights to capture the golden warmth of chai tea. Meanwhile, user @shana.rae.reed showed off her take on the aesthetic by coating her eyes and lips in a spiced pink pigment."
"According to Sarai Martinez, a celebrity makeup artist at Sarai by Day, this makeup look is all about using the tones you'd spot in your teacup. "You're going to see a lot of browns, bronze, burnt orange, and nice warm tones around the cheeks and lips," she tells Bustle. The trend is super wearable, and it can be "spiced" up even more for a night out or a wedding with a quick swipe of eyeliner. "What makes it special is having a lot of warmth in the face, accentuating the lips with warm tones, and making the face look toasty and appealing," Martinez says."
"To nail the aesthetic, Martinez recommends starting with a primer so that your makeup sticks. To chai-ify your eyes, start with a lighter color in the center, then work a slightly darker burnt orange or brown into the middle. "If you want a more intense look, you can do a slight smudge brown on the waterline and buff it out," she says."
Chai-inspired makeup centers on warm, tea-like tones—browns, bronze, burnt orange, and golden highlights—paired with spiced pink or deeper lip shades. Creators use earth-toned eyeshadow, burnt blush, and highlights to evoke a toasted, cozy aesthetic that resembles chai tea. The look remains wearable for daytime and can be intensified for evenings or special events with eyeliner and stronger warmth in the face. Primer is recommended for longevity. Eyes often feature a lighter center shade with darker burnt orange or brown blended into the middle, and a smudged brown waterline can add extra depth.
