Kevin & Coco: What the Brand Is and Which Products to Try First

If you've seen palettes shaped like cookies, waffles or chocolate and wanted them all, they were probably from Kevin & Coco. It's a makeup brand known for dessert-inspired packaging and easy-to-use products.

In this guide we cover what the brand is, which types of products are worth trying first and how to get the most out of them.

What is Kevin & Coco?

Kevin & Coco is a makeup brand with a sweet, playful look. Its collections often revolve around themes like chocolate, hazelnut, cookies or waffles, with warm shades that flatter many skin tones, including olive and deep skin.

• It has products for face, eyes and lips.
• Many come in stick form, handy to carry in your purse.
• It also offers skincare, like cleansing balms.

1. Eyeshadow palettes: the star product

Kevin & Coco palettes are probably the brand's best-known items. They usually combine neutrals, browns and golds, ideal for day or night. Some are face and eye palettes, with eyeshadows and cheek shades in one compact.

How to create a basic look with a palette

1. Apply a light shade all over the lid as a base.
2. Use a medium shade in the crease and blend with windshield-wiper motions.
3. Place a darker shade on the outer corner for depth.
4. Finish with a shimmer in the center of the lid or the inner corner.

2. Blush and contour sticks: quick and easy

Stick products are perfect when you're short on time. Apply them straight onto skin and blend with your fingers or a sponge.

• Contour stick: draw a line under the cheekbone, on the sides of the forehead and along the jaw, then blend upward.
• Blush stick: a few dabs on the high points of your cheeks, blended toward the temples.

Tip: apply cream products before any powder so they blend better.

3. Foundation

Kevin & Coco also makes foundation. To choose your shade, test it on your jawline in natural light and pick the one that disappears into your skin. Apply a little in the center of your face and blend outward.

4. Cleansing balm: the perfect finish

After a day of makeup, a cleansing balm is a gentle way to start your cleanse.

1. Take a small amount with dry hands.
2. Massage it over your dry face to melt makeup.
3. Add a little water to emulsify, then rinse.
4. Follow with your usual cleanser if you want to double cleanse.
