Makeup and food—they may seem like an odd couple, but food-inspired makeup collaborations have been a hot trend as of late.
 
Something about combining familiar snacks with beauty products is attractive to brands and consumers alike. Perhaps it’s the colorful limited-edition packaging that these products feature or the creative marketing?
 
From burrito-inspired eyeshadow palettes to wing sauce-inspired lip glosses, here are eight makeup collections that will make your mouth water:

1. e.l.f. Cosmetics x Chipotle

Beauty and burritos? It seems like an unlikely combination, but last year, e.l.f. Cosmetics and Chipotle came together to launch a limited edition e.l.f. x Chipotle collection. Obviously, the unique duo worked, because e.l.f. continued to launch several more food-inspired makeup collections after this.

4. Oscar Mayer's Face Mask

It may seem like a joke or publicity stunt, but it's real—Oscar Mayer created the first-ever bologna-inspired face mask. Oscar Mayer partnered with the Korean private label beauty company Seoul Mamas to produce the hydrogel sheet mask, which looks like it belongs in a supermarket.
