How to Wear Mocha Mousse

We’ve infused the essence of Mocha Mousse into our signature Serpent’s Mirage Eyeshadow Palettes and Serpent's Dust Single Pan Eyeshadows. These shades will have you glowing all year long:

For Everyday Glam:

  • Use the lighter of the shades to create a soft wash of color across the lids.
  • Blend the darker shades of the palette into the crease for definition.
  • Buff and blend to create a flawless, everyday finish! 

For a Versatile Flush:

Our Velvet & Venom's Serpent's Dust Single Pan Eyeshadows are multitaskers!

  • Use Ashen Fang or Golden Coil  as soft blush tones for a sunkissed glow.
  • Sweep them lightly over the bridge of your nose for that “just back from vacation” vibe.

For The Bold Nights (or days):

  • Use Ashen Fang, Golden Coil, and Desert Coil to create the perfect mocha mousse eyes. Add a touch of Serpent's Whisper for extra layer of bold--but don't go overboard---remember, ESPRESSO OUT, MOCHA MOUSSE IN!!

For Lips That Wow:

Pair mocha-toned eyes with a gloss or matte lip in a complementary neutral. Keep it simple, but let the warmth shine through.
