As thoughts turn to blissful days spent by the ocean, it seems the beauty industry is one step ahead.

Here’s a look at some of the shimmery, colourful mermaid-esque makeup launches making waves this season.

Cruelty-free brand Tarte Cosmetics has added several products to its clean beauty SEA Collection, including three new vegan foil finger pocket palettes that feature two foil shadows and a glitter gel topper each.

All the hues have been inspired by starry, beach nights and have been designed for application with the fingers, making them ideal for poolside touch-ups.
