Food-Inspired Beauty Trends from 2023 That Should Be Kept on 2024's Menu
Several different beauty trends went viral on social media last year, with one of the most notable being food-inspired trends. From mouth-watering makeup looks to succulent skincare routines, food was a central focus of the 2023 beauty sphere.
Some of these food-themed trends, however, are still too tasty to give up. So, whether you want to spice up your current routine or simply relish the delicacies of the past, here are ten of the top food-inspired beauty trends of 2023 that are sure to satisfy your cosmetic cravings.
1. Latte makeup
The basic recipe for latte makeup includes highlighters on the points of your face, heavy bronzer to contour, along with a slight smokey eye and a matte finish.
2. Tomato girl makeup
Bright rosy cheeks were a popular touch to makeup looks in 2023. The tomato girl look features a flushed complexion and vibrant summer glow. To achieve this look, use a glowing foundation to create a natural base and powder or liquid blush to bring out the deep, delicious shade of red.
3. Cherry cola lips
Cherry cola lips, an accent also used in Lana-Del-Rey-core, are a sweet, succulent combination of dark reds and browns. To complement any elegant or mysterious makeup look, use a tantalizing dark red lip liner and blend it with a brighter shade of red lipstick.
4. Strawberry girl look
Strawberry girl makeup, similar to the tomato girl style, features the iconic rosy cheeks. This alternative consists of a more natural look, featuring a sunkissed glow with slight pink cheeks and freckles. To replicate this sweet, appetizing aesthetic, use a liquid blush applied to the cheeks and nose to recreate a light sunburn and a faux freckle pen to bring summer back in style.
5. Blueberry milk nails
One of the most popular colors of summer 2023, blueberry milk nails are the perfect shade of creamy, pastel blue. They are the epitome of eye candy and are sure to catch everyone’s attention and pique their sweet tooth.

6. Cherry mocha nails
A darker and more intense color, cherry mocha nails are another option for those searching for a delicious nail design and are a seductive, succulent shade of burgundy.
7. Glazed donut nails
For a more sweet, sugary, and sheer look, glazed donut nails might be the way to go. They feature a glossy and indulgent surface that resembles the delicacy it is named for.
8. Glazed donut skincare
Glazed donut nails are not the only trend named after this treat. The increased popularity of skincare routines with hydrating creams and serums lead to the development of the glazed donut skincare look, with highly moisturized skin and a dewy finish.
9. Chocolate brown hair
With no undertones of red or blonde, the chocolate brown hair trend features an unapologetic brunette look that is rich, creamy, and velvety.
10. Cinnamon cookie butter hair
This lighter brunette look features a dark, buttery caramel color, with subtle notes of cinnamon red and honey-hued browns. It is characterized by a warm, golden aura and a perfect combination of sweetness and spice.
The collision of food with beauty emphasizes an enticing evolution in the crave-worthy consumption of cuisine and cosmetics. It’s no surprise that these food-inspired trends were some of the most popular items on 2023’s beauty menu. They allow for more creativity and expression to blend into our everyday routines, tempting us to try new things and awakening our appetite to design unique recipes for beauty.
