The 2025 Color of the Year has been declared, and Mocha Mousse is the new it shade. Channeling “thoughtful indulgence,” the shade is described as a mellow brown hue. Mocha Mousse leans on the cooler spectrum of browns, which has already been trending in makeup recently.
If you want to work Mocha Mousse in to your beauty looks routine this year, here are seven drugstore makeup finds that serve the same neutral elegance.
1. e.l.f. Perfect 10 Eyeshadow Palette in Need It Nude
$10 at e.l.f. Cosmetics, Target & Amazon
This neutral eyeshadow palette contains a nearly exact match for Mocha Mousse in a matte shade, along with accenting bronzes, champagnes and rose golds that pair perfectly.
2. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Caramel Glace
$6.50-11 at Ulta, Walmart & Amazon
Mocha Mousse in a lipstick, Carmel Glace is a cool soft brown in a pearl finish. The Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick formula is a drugstore classic, with 80% conditioning ingredients that make it comfortable to wear all day while smoothing over lip lines.
3. ColourPop Lippie Pencil in BFF3
ColourPop has several BFF nude shades in their Lippie Pencil to compliment a range of skin tones. BFF3 specifically is a neutral brown you can wear on its own or paired with lipgloss to add depth and shape to the lips.
4. Moira Everlust Shimmer Cream Shadow in Mocha Bronze
$8.50 at Moira Cosmetics (15% off with code SLASHEDBEAUTY)
While mentioning Moira may be pushing it as far as putting in the drugstore category (they can be found in some Krogers and HEBs, but primarily sell through their site), they make one of my favorite shimmer cream shadows that’s under $10! The Everlust Shimmer Cream Shadow makes a great one-and-done to blend all over the lid, and Mocha Bronze has been a go-to shade for me when I want a simple but elegant wash of shimmery brown.
5. L’Oreal Le Shadow Stick in Magnetic Bronze
$10-13 at Ulta, Target & Amazon
This is a near perfect match for Mocha Mousse with a beautiful shimmery finish. This cream shadow stick is super creamy and easy to glide on the lids and blend out with the fingers. I love blending this all over the lid and adding a champagne gold to the middle.
6. Pixi On-the-Glow Bronze Stick in Soft Glow
It’s a bit difficult to recommend a Mocha Mousse-inspired bronzer, since the right shade for you will depend on your skin tone. However, this glowy bronzer stick offers a subtle neutral bronze in a glowy finish that can add warmth and dimension to the face on lighter skin tones, or be used as a highlight on deep skin tones.
7. Hard Candy Glosstopia Creamy Lip Oil in Sugar Spin
$7.97 at Walmart
Infused with coconut oil, shea, hyaluronic acid, and peptides, this is a super hydrating lip oil that adds a sheer tint of soft brown in the same tone as Mocha Mousse.
