Foodie-Inspired Eyeshadow Palettes

theBalm's Eyeshadow Color Palette Features Mouthwatering Hues

— January 18, 2017 — Fashion
'Bruce Schetta,' 'Ray Sinbread' and 'Chris P. Bacon' are a few of the humorously named hues that can be found in an eyeshadow color palette from theBalm that's aptly called 'theBalm Appétit.' The food-centric makeup palette features a total of nine eyeshadow colors, which promise "a balanced diet of talc-free textures, including mattes, shimmers and foils" to satisfy all cravings. To further accent the fun food theme of the makeup palette, the brand created a packaging design that includes a die-cut flap that spells: "Eat Ur Heart Out."

The quirky cosmetic palette also adopts a retro style, complete with images of male characters to match the names of each unusual eyeshadow name.

Other standout makeup palettes from theBalm include Highlite 'N Con Tour, which adopts a concert theme and the travel-themed theBalm Voyage set.
