Everything from the palette itself, to the brush, lipstick and eye shadow can be consumed. Even the [lipgloss](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-lip-drum-holiday) is edible, as the tube is filled with a mouth-watering chocolate spread. All of the edible makeup pieces are either made out of chocolate or a blend of fruits, spices and ganache. What makes this treat so original is that it appears as if it's a makeup kit or [paint kit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-kit-easter-edition), but it's really food. By incorporating two things that women love, chocolate and makeup, and then rolling it into a product, it is creating a distinctive piece that is sure to stand out from competitors. When shopping for gifts, one can turn to a regular box of chocolate, or instead purchase a gift that is sure to surprise. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Edible Makeup:** The trend of creating edible makeup palettes can disrupt the cosmetic industry by offering a unique crossover product. - **Food as Design:** The trend of incorporating food into design can create opportunities for disruptive innovation in the design industry. - **Gourmet Gifting:** The trend of creating unique and edible gifts can disrupt the gifting industry by offering a distinctive product. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Cosmetics:** The cosmetic industry can capitalize on the trend of edible makeup palettes by creating new, innovative edible products. - **Design:** The design industry can integrate food as design by creating edible products that blend function and taste. - **Gifting:** The gifting industry can benefit from the gourmet gifting trend by offering unique and edible gift options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Patisserie-Inspired Beauty Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/este-lauder-x-ladure.md) - [Cookie Tin Beauty Palettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-beauty-palette.md) - [Chocolate-Inspired Sculpting Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/too-faced-sculpting-sticks.md) - [Grocery-Themed Holiday Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benemart.md) - [Edible Chocolate Lipsticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-cosmetics-x-doja-cat.md) - [Cookie-Inspired Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hard-candy-x-girl-scouts.md) - [Sculptural Beauty Palettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contour-and-highlight-palettes.md) - [Intricate Fairytale-Like Makeup Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/four-essential-sets.md) - [Thematic Holiday Makeup Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treatinspired-holiday-2025-collection.md)
