shape tape™ glow wand

Tarte shape tape™ glow wand is a sheer liquid brightener that Tarte describes as an instant eye lift in a tube. Rather than adding sparkle, it lifts the look of tired areas with a soft, diffused brightness — the kind of finish that reads as rest rather than as makeup.

What it actually does

• Brightens without glitter. Tarte is specific that there is no glitter or shimmer in it, so the effect is luminosity rather than visible particles sitting on skin.
• Gives a lit-from-within look. The brand describes the result as a soft, youthful glow coming from under the skin rather than painted on top.
• Uses a diamond complex™ for soft focus. Tarte credits this complex with the blurred, softened finish across the areas you place it.
• Mimics a full night's sleep. The brand's own framing is that it instantly gives you the look of eight hours of beauty sleep — worth reading as an appearance claim, not a biological one.
• Vegan and dermatologist tested. Both are listed by Tarte under its clinical results.

How to use

Tarte gives four ways to wear it:

1. Over shape tape™ concealer for the eye-lift effect.
2. On its own when you want sheer brightness and nothing else.
3. Stirred into your moisturiser for radiance across the whole face.
4. On the high points — cheekbones, brow bones, collarbones and décolletage.
