# Chocolate Makeup The Diego L. Rodriguez Chocolat Series is Inspired by Cocoa Colors By Meghan Young | Published 2011-02-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diego-l-rodriguez-chocolat References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Chocolat/739563) & [ParanoidMe](http://ParanoidMe.com) There's something gorgeous about a well-executed beauty photo shoot such as the Diego L. Rodriguez Chocolat series. When the photographer, model, hair stylist and makeup artist come together expertly, the outcome seems so seamless that it's hard to tear your gaze from it. Inspired by [chocolate colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chalet-by-brown-girl-jane), the Diego L. Rodriguez Chocolat features the work of stylist and makeup artist Alba Hernández. I particularly like the faint use of [post-production](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/absolute-collection) that makes model Lidia Esteban look even more glamorous. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Chocolate-inspired Beauty:** With the rise of natural and organic beauty products, there's an opportunity for cosmetics and skincare brands to incorporate cocoa ingredients and chocolate colors into their offerings. - **Cross-industry Collaboration in Beauty:** This photo shoot is an example of how the beauty industry can collaborate with other industries, in this case the chocolate industry, to create innovative and unique products and campaigns. - **Technology-enhanced Beauty Photography:** Advancements in technology, such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality, can take beauty photography to the next level and create even more immersive and interactive experiences for consumers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Cosmetics:** Cosmetics brands can explore using cocoa and other food-inspired ingredients in their formulations to create unique and natural-looking products. - **Chocolate:** Chocolate companies can collaborate with beauty brands to create limited edition products or campaigns that combine the worlds of beauty and chocolate. - **Technology:** Technology companies can develop new software and equipment to enhance beauty photography and create more engaging and interactive experiences for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Chocolate-Inspired Sculpting Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/too-faced-sculpting-sticks.md) - [Fine Art-Covered Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m-cacao-artbars.md) - [Artist-Inspired Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beatrice-wood.md) - [Layered Cocoa Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/choco-loco.md) - [Inclusive Self-Care Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/choc.md) - [Edible Chocolate Lipsticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-cosmetics-x-doja-cat.md) - [Chocolate-Inspired Restaurant Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lindt-and-gia.md) - [Noir-Inspired Luxury Cosmetic Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rouge-noir.md) - [Restyled Cinematic Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/il-pranzo-campaign.md)
