Finger-Friendly Eyeshadow Cosmetics

Tarte's Foil Finger Paint is Best Applied with Fingers

For precise, mess-free makeup application, many eyeshadow palettes are sold with a brush but Tarte Cosmetics' newly introduced Foil Finger Paint palettes were specifically created to be applied with the fingertips. According to the brand, its shades "melt onto the lid with your finger."

The three Foil Finger Paint eyeshadow palettes include two highly pigmented foil formulas and a gel glitter topper in a complementary shade to transform the look with a hint of shimmer. While two of the palettes, Lunar and Milky Way, take inspiration from outer space, Bahamas offers three tropical colors that pull inspiration from Earth.

The eyeshadow formulas from Tarte Cosmetics' Rainforest of the Sea collection are packed with nourishing, antioxidant-rich ingredients like marine plant extracts to deliver hydration alongside a shot of highly intense color.
