I know I’m late to the game on these. Although I don’t have a TikTok account, these pudding pots have become so successful that I’ve been seeing them talked about everywhere in 2025 in particular. For the past few years, I’ve done my best to stop buying cream and liquid cheek products due to their quicker expiry time than powders. This was my reason for not buying the Pudding Pots, but when I saw Fwee’s products become available through German retailers like Douglas and Flaconi, the FOMO grew too strong for me to take! I started with one, then ordered three more, and now I have forced myself to stop at 7 out of the 35 total!

I’ve included photos of what the colors look like in their frosted glass pots, but it doesn’t help. So many of them look identical to each other or look much deeper than how they appear on my skin. I watched so many swatch videos and scrolled through so many photos, yet I still ended up with shades that were unexpected.
So, if anyone reading this has access to these in person to be able to try them out, I highly recommend doing that.

These colorful Pudding Pots don’t just look like desserts. They have a fruity/candy-like smell too. But don’t eat them! Haha.

BLUSHES

Shade Name: My ND04
Undertone: Warm
Description: Natural Nude Coral
Category: Just Me Moment

This has been touted as a “universal” shade. It can be built up enough to show on my skin, but I will probably use this exclusively on the apples of my cheeks going forward. It’s a little lighter of a color than I’m used to wearing on its own, but I still like it. It’s also much lighter on my lips than I would normally wear.

Shade Name: Dear CR01
Undertone: Warm
Description: Warm Peachy Coral
Category: Bestie Moment

Dear is a little more pigmented and even warmer of a color than My, so I think it suits my skintone quite well for a relatively light shade, but I still wouldn’t wear this on my lips.

Shade Name: Feel’n RS01
Undertone: Warm
Description: Rose Coral
Category: Faded Moment

This is supposed to have a warm undertone, but it looks cool toned on me in person. It’s at least the most cool of the seven I own. It’s pretty, but I like it a bit less than the others.

Shade Name: Chill’n MV01
Undertone: Warm
Description: Cooled Down Greyish Brown
Category: Cold-Hearted Moment

I thought this would look way more cool-toned on me based on the description, although it is technically listed as being suited for those with a warm undertone. I can clearly see purple tones in the pot, but for some reason it’s bright pink on my skin. This is probably the biggest twist in expectations vs reality out of the seven I own. I like it more than Feel’n, but it still ranks lower on the list.

Shade Name: Seventeen CR04
Undertone: Warm
Description: Sun-kissed Lively Reddish Coral
Category: Bestie Moment

To me, this is like a darker version of Dear. I prefer this shade, but I try to apply a thin layer (less than pictured) so that it’s a bare flush of brightness since it’s a more poppy color than I expected.

Shade Name: Lyrics RS02
Undertone: Warm
Description: Brown Coral Rose
Category: Faded Moment

This is the warmest shade of the bunch, and most easy to see on my skin, so I thought I would like this the most. However, it’s a bit too warm. I prefer Memories.

Shade Name: Memories RS04
Undertone: Warm
Description: Marsala Rose
Category: Faded Moment

This is the one shade I end up using most often. It’s a little less warm-red and more of a pink-red.

EXPERIENCE

The consistency of this product is like a bouncy mousse. It has a dimethicone-heavy formula, but that is what gives it its slip-like texture with a matte look.
The blurred blush and lip trend that has long been popular across Asia is reaching similar heights in the west due to so many US and European brands now coming out with their own versions. There are so many options to choose from worldwide!

Wet n Wild isn’t fooling anyone with their Mother Fluffer Pudding Blush. It’s a dupe too!

I only really have two blushes that are comparable to Fwee’s Pudding Pots. The first is the Catrice Velvet Pudding Blurring Blush which indeed feels like a creamy pudding and does not have much bounce. The second is the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Matte Bouncy Blush which has the slip feeling and bounce without the mousse texture that is so easy to be picked up. Rare Beauty’s is more compact in the pan.

I mentioned in my review that I like the Rare Beauty blush only after applying a hydrating spray on top, which gives it some glow. I thought I wouldn’t mind how matte Fwee’s blushes look if I could use the same technique, but it doesn’t transform it, and I have to be careful not to touch my face too soon afterwards because the sprays (e.g. from Pat Mcgrath and Charlotte Tilbury) make the blush susceptible to lifting off before it dries again.
For my skin type and preference for nude blush tones, I actually like Catrice’s product the most! As long as my skin is adequately prepped, the blush doesn’t look flat on me. There are currently only five shades in the line, but the one I own in 040 Maple Mousse is dark-skin friendly. Just like Fwee’s Pudding Pots, the Catrice Pudding Blushes are scented (though they smell like white chocolate rather than fruity/candy). They are less expensive too, but I believe Fwee’s formula consists of slightly more expensive ingredients. Since my main concern is how it looks and performs, that isn’t enough to change my mind about Catrice’s blush being my favorite of the three.

The Fwee Pudding Pot spreads easily enough, it’s non-drying, and a minimal amount doesn’t look cakey. I don’t have issues with longevity when I apply this on top of foundation, but if I’m going for a minimal makeup look, my skin just eats this blush up. I have to apply a heavier amount than I want in order to counteract the fading so that I end up still having visible blush at the end of the day.

For the best blended results, I make a single tap into the pot with my Rephr LC02 brush and blend the product onto the back of my hand, warming it up, before applying it to my cheeks. I might have to build up additional layers if it’s one of the lighter shades, but this way ensures I don’t overapply.

I bought the Fwee Fingerlike Silicone Lip Brush when I realized my brush and fingers won’t be able to get product out of the small opening that easily as it gets used up over time. I can apply a few dots onto my cheeks with the lip brush as well, but I still run the risk of applying too much, and this kind of formula doesn’t diffuse as easily as a powder product. So, I use this tool mostly to apply product onto my lips (which is great thanks to the slanted curve of the soft silicone tip) or onto the back of my hand.

At YesStyle, there are mini sizes of the silicone tip lip brush as well as a full size brush with a bristle type of tip.

Back to the discussion of the Pudding Pots, I haven’t liked any of these as standalone lip products. The colors are too saturated for my taste, yet they look strange if I use a minimal amount because the two spots of darker pigment on my lower lip are obvious to see underneath. The way the color grips around dry patches on my lips is also unflattering. So, I don’t enjoy how they look unless my lips are already in a good state. They are not transfer-proof, but they last fairly well before I need to touch up my lips. Another fortunate thing is that even though I expected this formula to dry out my lips, it doesn’t seem to. It’s comfortable to wear for the mostpart, but it still doesn’t look flattering enough to me even if it’s not drawing out my lip’s moisture. It’s possible that I could like this paired with other lip products for an ombré effect or after I’ve filled in my lips with lip liner, but I haven’t been inspired to try either technique. I prefer to just consider this strictly a blush.

Overall, I think the Pudding Pots are a fun and youthful product. I resisted buying them for so long, and I wish I had the willpower to have been able to keep resisting them simply because I’m not interested in the matte look. I couldn’t turn them into a glowier looking product, the way I did with the Rare Beauty Bouncy Blushes, so that’s unfortunate for me. I think I look better when my skin has some shine to it. For everyone else that loves the blurred matte trend, I can understand why Fwee’s product is so popular. They are reasonably priced and come in so many shades (perhaps even too many). The formula isn’t difficult to work with as long as the product is either warmed up or built up in small layers.

So, I understand why people like these, but I still think they’re a little overhyped. The best aspects about these Pudding Pots are the shade options, fun texture, and packaging which technically other brands could have as well. When it comes to the performance, it isn’t as unique.

I hope that these photos have been helpful. Thanks for reading! Other reviews I recommend are from Tina Tanaka Harris (for video quality showing every shade), Itskrystle (for in-depth information and testing), and Corizus (someone else similar to my skintone).
