What is the “yummy effect”?
In the beauty world, every visual decision is designed to evoke emotion.
One growing trend is the use of images that combine cosmetic products with sweet, edible elements—candies, desserts, whipped textures, syrups, and toppings. The allure of food-inspired cosmetics has captivated consumers and industry leaders alike, reshaping the landscape of skincare innovation. Brands such as Clarins and Fenty Skin have embraced this trend, introducing a delectable array of skincare products that not only nourish the skin but also evoke the irresistible essence of sweet treats.
These visuals create what we call the “yummy effect”: the feeling that a beauty product is so appealing, you almost want to eat it. It’s more than a visual strategy. It’s a sensory shortcut to desire.
From visual to sensory:
This type of imagery borrows from the world of food: richness, color, creaminess, shine.
By placing a lip gloss next to a glazed donut or blending a highlighter into a swirl of frosting, the product stops being clinical or distant.
It becomes emotional, tangible, irresistible.
You don’t just see a formula—you feel it.
And that feeling speaks directly to the senses: sight, taste, touch. It creates an immediate emotional reaction, one that bypasses logic and goes straight to impulse.
The psychological hook: I want to try it!
The “yummy effect” doesn’t operate on reason. It plays with instant gratification.
It invites the viewer to imagine how the product feels, smells, even how it might taste—though it’s not edible, of course.
But that’s where the magic is: in creating sensory associations so strong, the viewer doesn’t just admire the product—they crave it.
Beauty that makes your mouth water
Brands that embrace this visual language understand that beauty isn’t only seen—it’s felt.
When a product photo makes you want to touch, try, or “eat the color,” it becomes more than pretty. It becomes desirable. It becomes yummy!
