Tarte is ready to dive head-first into spring with a siren-inspired palette that already has makeup mavens dreaming of a sweet seaside escape.
Exclusively available at Sephora (for now), the limited-edition palette comes in the form of an iridescent clamshell-shaped compact that would be perfectly at home inside of Ariel’s underwater grotto of untold treasures. Inside, you’ll find scales featuring 14 matte and metallic shadow shades that are perfectly suited for the shore that are designed to stay put, thanks to the Amazonian clay-infused formula. The hues offer an amazing array of makeup looks ranging from soft and subtle neutrals to vibrant bolts of bold color. Some of the standout shades that the brand swatched on its Instagram page include the deep blue teal of Lagoon, the shimmering sea green of Splash, the bold bronze of Shell Yeah, and the rustic red of Beach Please.
It’s no surprise that we’re having a bit of a mermaid moment as, according to Popsugar, sirens are slated to make a big splash this year — and it’s not just because of those fishtail blankets that everyone added to their holiday wish lists last year either. In fact, there are already at least two The Little Mermaid remakes heading to theaters soon, a new tv show called Siren coming to Freeform this month, and even mermaid-inspired fitness classes popping up throughout the country designed to get you to flip and flex your fins. And I’m sure there will be more mermaid must haves to come!
And with this new pretty palette, beauty buffs won’t be able to stop themselves from Instagramming it with a cluster of clamshells as soon as they get their hands on it or whipping it out at a pool party as they channel their inner Ariel (after all, was she everyone’s favorite Disney princess when they were growing up?). I say you can totally lean into the look even further by pairing the palette with your go-to texturizing spray — John Frieda’s Beach Blonde Sea Waves Sea Salt Spray would be perfect in this instance — and a lip gloss that delivers a wet-shine finish, and consider yourself set to stun whether by land or by sea.
