OFM Beauty: Food-Inspired Cosmetics that Make You Feel Delicious

Growing up, we are often told to stop playing with our food, stop playing with ourselves. Food is the stuff of life, and if you can’t have fun with food, then you can’t have fun at all. Let’s be honest: It’s hard to translate our love for all things scrumptious into our beauty routines. However, I can assure you it is not as hard as you may have originally been led to believe. 

From cocoa powder to cinnamon to even honey and turmeric, these beautiful ingredients are sure to leave you feeling like a full-course meal.

First, let’s get that skin popping with some ingredients that you are sure to love. Skin care is vital to makeup because without a clean canvas, how can an artist work? 

If you are having trouble with texture and need something to really get in your grill, look no further than Origins High potency Night-amins. This amazing night cream filled with hydration and fruit enzymes and other AHAs and BHAs will have your face looking bright, shiny, and new each morning. This night cream acts as a gradual chemical exfoliant to give you that facelift without the nip or the tuck. I wouldn’t skimp out there!

Next if you are in the need for an anti-aging serum for the goddesses, than look no further than the Clarins Double Serum; this miracle-worker-in-a-bottle has turmeric, which is a natural anti-inflammatory but also helps reduce the look of wrinkles and evens out skin tone! Not to mention it has green bananas, which help promote a firmer, healthier look to skin that has lost its oomph. Now let’s get our most flavorful ingredient makeup.

As long as food has been around, “cosmetic” items have been around to help people look as fab as they feel on the inside. Before we even think about foundation, let’s talk about our primer. If you need one that does it all at the fraction of the price of other primers, then NYX will be your holy grail of skin prep. 

The Marshmallow primer by NYX will hands down keep your cake on! Made with marshmallow root extract, this little doozy not only primes the skin and hides pores, but it moisturizes, color corrects, and will soften any rough and bumpy skin over time. 

Now with skin feeling so delish what should go on top? Well, foundation is your icing, and the rest is your trimming. MAC cosmetics’ best-selling Studio Fix liquid foundation is a great start to a beautiful face. With a matte finish and small amount of SPF, this foundation will make any skin look flawless, not to mention it has a signature “MAC vanilla” scent to keep you in a tasty state of mind.

Keep in mind any foundation will do depending on your skin type; it is a whole world to explore your color and coverage. 

Now for a subtle contour that can go dramatic, look no further than the Too Faced Chocolate Soleil matte bronzer, available in three tones and made with 100 percent cocoa powder. (And yes, they taste like chocolate, though I wouldn’t suggest eating them.)

With or without shadow, you are ready for your day looking too good to eat. With all this in mind, remember you are a treat to be around, and people love to see you thrive. Be as indulgent as the food you enjoy, because you are worth it.
