The Carrot Colour Pot by Ere Perez is one of those effortless makeup classics you quickly wouldn’t want to be without: a small pot of creamy color that makes cheeks, lips, and even eyes look fresher in just a few seconds. The Colour Pot has been one of Ere Perez’s signature products for over 20 years—and it is precisely this simple versatility that makes it so special to this day.
The balm-like texture melts slightly on contact with the skin, spreads effortlessly with your fingers or a brush, and practically melts into the skin instead of sitting visibly on top of it. A little color creates a sheer, fresh flush; several layers make the look noticeably more intense. The finish remains soft, lively, and skin-like—with natural radiance but without pronounced shimmer.
Shades
-
Humble – clear dolly pink; fresh, playful, and especially lovely for a rosy flush
-
Harmony – muted dusty pink; soft, elegant, and very effortless for everyday wear
-
Healthy – warm caramel-peach; adds warmth to the complexion and looks especially natural
-
Hey – bright pink with a slight purple undertone; fresh and expressive
-
Holy – berry plum with a touch of pink; somewhat deeper and especially beautiful on lips and cheeks
-
Happy – rich crimson red; can be built from a sheer flush to bold color
-
Hello – bright poppy red; fresh, warm, and especially beautiful for a lively look
On the cheeks, the Carrot Colour Pot works as a classic cream blush; on the lips, it is like a tinted, nourishing color balm. A touch on the eyelids ties the look together beautifully and turns a single pot into a complete, harmonious color concept.
The formula also perfectly complements this skin-first approach: carrot oil, avocado oil, jojoba oil, castor oil, cocoa butter, and vitamin E give the creamy color its smooth, comfortable feel while adding nourishing lipids and antioxidant-rich botanical ingredients. The formula is non-comedogenic and also suitable for sensitive and blemish-prone skin.

FAQ
What is special about the Carrot Colour Pot?
The Colour Pot combines the effortless application of a cream blush with the nourishing benefits of a balm. The color is very easy to apply with your fingers, build gradually, and use on cheeks, lips, and eyes. This makes it particularly well suited to quick, natural makeup looks.
What is the finish of the Carrot Colour Pot?
The finish is soft, skin-like, and naturally radiant. The creamy color melts into the skin and creates freshness without looking overly glossy or leaving visible glitter.
How pigmented is the Carrot Colour Pot?
The shades are well pigmented but very easy to control. A small amount creates a sheer flush; additional thin layers can noticeably intensify the color.
Is the Carrot Colour Pot suitable for sensitive or blemish-prone skin?
Yes. The non-comedogenic formula is also suitable for sensitive and blemish-prone skin. It contains no fragrance, essential oils, silicones, or mineral oil.
Can I wear the Carrot Colour Pot on my lips?
Yes. On the lips, it works like a creamy color balm. The plant oils and cocoa butter provide a smooth, comfortable feel, while the color intensity can be built according to your desired look.
Can I use the Carrot Colour Pot on my eyes?
Yes. A small amount can be patted onto the mobile lid and softly blended. It looks especially beautiful when the same shade is worn on the cheeks and lips at the same time.
What is the difference between it and the Beetroot Cheek & Lip Tint?
The Carrot Colour Pot is creamy, balm-like, and nourishing, leaving a soft, skin-like finish. The Beetroot Cheek & Lip Tint, by contrast, is water-based, much lighter, and leaves a long-lasting stain on the skin and lips.
Is the packaging plastic-free?
Yes. The Colour Pot comes in a glass jar with an aluminum lid that also functions as a small mirror.
