The e.l.f Runs On Dunkin’ collection comprises five types of makeup products that sport Dunkin’s distinct logo and pink and orange brand colours. It boasts “coffee-inspired textures, glazed-up formulas and ultra-pigmented shades.”
How to create the ‘Glazed Doughnut’ look — for your makeup
The ‘Glazed Doughnut’ trend shot to popularity after model Hailey Bieber shared about it on Instagram in 2021 and again earlier this year. This trend is all about achieving dewy, glowy skin from top to toe by layering multiple skincare products, such as a lip balm, face oil, and an intense body moisturiser.
You can bring those glossy vibes to your makeup too with a little help from this new e.l.f x Dunkin’ collection. Here’s how.
Eyes: ‘Dunkin’ Dozen’ Eyeshadow Palette
Get your glaze on: Bring extra shine to those peepers with this 12-shade eyeshadow palette set, which is inspired by Dunkin’ doughnuts. Create an iridescent eye makeup look by applying lighter shades, such as silver or champagne to the inner corner of your lids.

This eyeshadow palette is priced at USD16/SGD23.
