Pizza and makeup may not appear to have much in common, but one beauty brand is aiming to join the two together.
Glamlite Cosmetics is releasing a Pizza Palette, an 18-shade eye-shadow product inspired by the popular food. Bearing a resemblance to the actual dish, the $40 Pizza Palette is even packaged in a takeout box.
Each shade is named after a different pizza topping
Some of the most notable include colors called “Pepperoni,” “Garlic,” and “Pineapple.”

The shade names also match the colors they are assigned to. For example, the shade "Extra Cheese" is a deep yellow, while a pigmented pink shade is named "Ham."
The Pizza Palette is meant to inspire individuality
In a statement sent to INSIDER, founder of Glamlite Cosmetics Gisselle Hernandez said that she wanted this palette to inspire people to be themselves and embrace the things they love.
"I've always had a passion for makeup but have always felt out of place in an industry that frequently focuses on perfection," Hernandez said. "The pizza palette is my way of saying I am free, I am no longer scared to be myself."
The Pizza Palette is also cruelty-free, vegan, and allergy tested.

If eye shadow isn't your thing, there are plenty of other food-inspired beauty products on the market
Too Faced, for example, has an entire range of items devoted to peaches, including the $33 Peach Perfect Mattifying Setting Powder. Tinted with a peach shade, this powder also smells like the fruit.
Sephora's Lipstories collection includes $8 lipsticks inspired by a variety of foods, like the cookie-inspired Yum Yum.
The Pizza Palette will officially launch on December 12 and can be purchased on the Glamlite Cosmetics website.
