Another sickly sweet treat from the Etude House Sweet Recipe collection, Cupcake All Over Color may just be the cutest makeup item I have ever seen. Packaged in an intricately decorated cupcake motif tin and presented beautifully in a French patisserie themed case, I was so enchanted by the packaging that I was probably going give this product a positive review whether I really like it or not. Fortunately, the quality of this multi-purpose colour is just as high as the packaging is cute. Read on for my review
Etude House Sweet Recipe Cupcake All Over Color is, as the name suggests, designed for a variety of uses including as a creme blush, lip colour, creme eyeshadow or anything else you can think of. It comes in five shades:
- PK001 Blueberry Cheese Cake
- PK002 Strawberry Chiffon Cake
- OR202 Peach Sugar Cake
- RD301 Raspberry Mousse Cake
- OR201 Orange Choux Cake.
Each tin has its own unique design, reflecting the ‘flavour’ of the cupcake. I think it would be dificult for anyone to resist buying the whole set just to display them next to each other. Today I’m reviewing OR202, Peach Sugar Cake.
A first look at Cupcake All Over Color gives you the impression that it’s a waxy balm, but it’s actually more of a creme colour. The product smells so very peachy that you just want to eat it.
While in the tin, the colour of Peach Sugar Cake looks like a rather deep pink, on the skin it’s a decidedly pastel peach with light pigmentation. The texture is powder and the finish is matte.
As a blush, the effect of Cupcake All Over Color Peach Sugar Cake on me is a subtle pink glow which looks very natural. The colour is slightly builable, but should show up much more vividly on lighter skin tones.
I love the peach colour on lips, but due to the matte powder consistency, it would be best to wear a clear gloss over the top.
Overall, I think Etude House Sweet Recipe Cupcake All Over Color is a wonderfully versatile and easy to use product. Peach Sugar Cake is a natural and subtle pink that looks great on the cheeks and lips. You might also use this colour on your eyes as a creme eyeshadow base. Best of all, though, Cupcake All Over Color is such a cute little product to just own and display on your vanity table!
