Why we stand behind it
Cake Theory is a one-of-a-kind formula that moisturizes, heals, shines, blurs, reduces fine lines, reduces hyperpigmentation, reduces fordyce spots, and never sticks. This oil has a non-sticky and cushiony feel on the lips. Inspired by color filters, and using color theory, these oils even out lip tones by “neutralizing” light and dark spots. The shade Melted Butter is great for two-toned lips, dark spots, smoker’s lips, and freckles, while the shade Browning is great for two-toned lips, fordyce, and pink spots. Cake Theory is clinically proven to hydrate and strengthen the skin barrier with each wear, clinically forms a protective film against dryness, and clinically protects, nourishes and moisturizes lips.

What is an undertone?
An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:
Pink/Cool
I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.
Neutral
I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.
Yellow/Warm
I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Pound Cake is on a mission to revolutionize the beauty industry, one red lip at a time. Camille Bell and Johnny Velazquez created Pound Cake because they saw a marginalizing industry that not only refused to include them in their beauty standard, but also in their product creation. They poured their blood, sweat, and tears into making something never before seen, yet long overdue: five liquid lipsticks made for five different skin and lip tones.
