“We are delighted to bring a leading color brand, like tarte cosmetics, to our user base. We’re kicking things off by launching over 70 of their top-selling shades in four different collections over COUNTER,” said Fox Liu, Head of International Business at Meitu. “Allowing users to test a variety of colors and finishes really gives our users the tools needed to make informed purchase decisions. And with our technology, the process is made instant and seamless.”

tarte’s four collections featured on MakeupPlus’ COUNTER will include:

• Double Duty Beauty™ The Lip Sculptor & Lipgloss – Available in 16 different shades, this lipstick-gloss duo is great for the girl-on-the-go. Offering a full coverage, satin matte lipstick paired with a coordinating pigmented gloss. Choose one or the other, or combine them for the perfect pout!
