The cruelty-free makeup brand is introducing ‘Face Tape’ a foundation inspired by its signature ‘Shape Tape’ concealer range, designed to offer a natural-looking, matte finish.

In an Instagram clip announcing the launch, the brand said it was a response to consumer feedback requesting a more diverse shade range. "Actions speak louder than words, so we’ve been working around-the-clock behind the scenes over the past year to bring you the full-coverage foundation of your dreams!" it declared.

Face Tape, which boasts a waterproof, vegan formula, will come with five different undertones, which will be clearly listed on the packaging as ‘N’ for neutral, ‘S’ sand/yellow, ‘H’ for honey/peach, ‘B’ for beige/pink and ‘G’ for golden/olive. The range also features a brand-new pump applicator and its formula includes ingredients such as mushroom extract, hyaluronic acid and apple fruit extract to "brighten, hydrate, and protect skin against environmental aggressors". It is reportedly set to launch on February 17.
