Available in three different metallic shades dubbed 'Park Ave Princess,' 'Fire Dancer,' and 'Pot of Gold,' all consumers have to do is use their fingers to apply the [highly pigmented colors to their lids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-bento). As the formula consists of 80% pure pearl pigments, the shades are able to glide on and blend with ease, but have a dazzling finish to them that's similar to [cream and gloss formulas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cashmere-matte-eyelights). In addition, this unique formula means that a primer isn't necessary either, as the shades are able to last all day on their own. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Pearl Pigments:** The shift towards using pearl pigments in beauty products provides opportunities for new formulations and textures that can create unique finishes. - **Finger Application:** As consumers move towards easy and fuss-free beauty routines, there is an opportunity for developing products that are optimized for finger application. - **Long-wear Without Primers:** Developing makeup products with formulations that are long-lasting without the need for primer offers convenient on-the-go solutions for consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Beauty:** Incorporating pearl pigments into various beauty products, alongside different application techniques can provide innovative solutions that can appeal to a wide range of consumers. - **Cosmetics:** The use of pearl pigments in cosmetics offers disruptive innovation opportunities such as new product formulations, increased longevity of wear and new textures and finishes. - **Personal Care:** As consumers' beauty routines continue to evolve towards more simplified and easy-to-use products, there is an opportunity for incorporating new product formulations that offer fuss-free, easy application and long-lasting wear. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Shimmery Eyeshadow Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gogo-cooling-shimmer-eyeshadow-stick.md) - [Dermatologist-Tested Eyeshadows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tartes-tartelette.md) - [Buildable Cream Eye Shadows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solo-shadow-sheen.md) - [Eyeshadow-Liner Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquideyes.md) - [Harmonious Eyeshadow Combinations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/palettes-of-beautifying-eye-trends.md) - [Vegan Eyeshadow Sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyeshadow-sticks.md) - [High-Impact Eye Crayons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparklestik-eye-crayon.md) - [Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeshadow Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eye-tint.md) - [Ultra-Blendable Shimmery Eyeshadows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-bento.md)
