Inspired by 90s minimalism, the Grunge Espresso look combines matte chocolate brown tones, defined eye contours, and structured neutral lips. Apply a soft-matte foundation to establish a uniform canvas, keeping highlight work to a minimum. Sweep a matte espresso brown eyeshadow across the entire eyelid, smudging the same shade generously along the lower lash line for a relaxed, smoldering effect. Define the upper lash line with a black matte eyeliner pencil and apply black mascara. Contour the cheekbones using a cool-toned matte bronzer to sculpt the face structure. Finish the nostalgic look by lining the lips with a deep brown lip pencil and filling them with a matte chocolate or taupe-brown lipstick.
