1. Glow Naturally With Sustainable Foundation
A glowing, even base is essential for the Mocha Mousse look. Opt for a foundation that’s clean, cruelty-free, and packaged sustainably.
Lamior, Glow Burst Encapsulated Foundation: This lightweight foundation offers buildable coverage with a natural finish, perfect for that ’barely-there‘ mocha glow. Bonus? It’s made with skin-nourishing botanicals and comes in a formulation that is super easy to apply.

2. Rich, Earthy Tones For Your Eyes
The hallmark of the Mocha Mousse aesthetic is soft, smoky eyes in warm brown hues. Look for options that offer blendable shades and are made with ethically sourced ingredients.
Kiro Beauty, eyeshadow stick in Sandy Copper 02: With buttery, blendable browns and soft shimmers, this zero-waste eyeshadow stick acts as an all over colour for your eyelid and can also double up as your eyeliner if applied closely to your lash line.
- Shibel Eye Shimmer - Into the Night: This warm brown shade is all you need in for eyeshadow. It is water based, so obviously it blends like a dream. Packed with delicate shimmer particles, this eyeshadow offers the most luminous look sans the heaviness, stickiness or creasing. It also dries in no time, so there’s not much you can complain about.
3. Glossy Lips For The Perfect Pout
A mocha-inspired look isn’t complete without a soft brown lip. The trick is finding a formula that hydrates while staying true to your ethical values.
· O&O beauty Serum Lipstick- Imperial: Made with the hydrating properties of vitamin E and a mineral-free formulation, this lipstick can take you through most events without a tantrum. The shade is tilts more towards a brown nude, the colour pay-off is solid. It feels moisturising which makes it perfect for the chilly season.
- Flossy Beauty Gloss ’Hot Coco‘: If you’re into lip gloss or lip oils, there is no going back. Flossy Beauty’s lip gloss in the shade Hot Coco is the best pick for you. The hue is a perfect, almost yummy looking warm brown, that will easily flatter most Indian skin tones. The formulation is super silky, non-sticky and the colour payoff is intense. Since it’s a gloss, you can also tone it down.
4. Multi-Tasking Blush For That Velvety Finish
