Samyang's Buldak Spicy Chicken Ramen has become a wildly popular instant noodle meal since its launch in 2012 and now, K-beauty brand Tonymoly is launching a fun, food-themed makeup collection that prominently features the brand's lively chicken mascot.
The Samyang x Tonymoly Hot Edition makeup collection includes packaging in spicy red, pink, orange and yellow colors that reference the heat of the food product. In the collection, which Tonymoly itself describes as an "unusual collaboration," fans will find the Hot Coverdak Cushion compact foundation and its companion sauce-shaped refill packet, the Noodle Blusher, a lip balm and a Lip Sauce Tint in unmistakable shades like Spicy Red and Cheese Red.
Best of all, instant noodle fans will immensely enjoy the fact that the Hot Edition makeup collection can be purchased alongside real noodle cups from Samyang.
