Tarte Cosmetics Rainforest of the Sea Foundation

After having to return last foundation I was introduced to this one.. I am good match for Light/Medium Beige.. It went over my skin nicely and I have sensitive combo skin that’s picky.. Wore wonderful for the afternoon for me... First time using Tarte and am really like the brand, and I love how it’s a clean brand... Will be looking into more products from this company...

Has buildable coverage with a natural finish. Doesn't look cakey at all. Definitely more on the hydrating side. It does deem to break up at end of the day however. Beautiful packaging and the dropper helps dispensing the right amount of product.

This is a really good foundation. It offers medium coverage but did not do well over my acne at all. It broke up and clung to dry patches and did little over the redness. But, the finish was nice and very natural looking. I have very fair skin and have trouble finding a match in most brands, but this was perfect. Overall really good product. I was looking for my HG, though, and this isn't it.

I am so disappointed in this foundation. Bought it, used it. It was like using the cheap stuff. Made my face break out badly. I wouldn’t buy this again. The coverage was decent. I’d take it back and ask for a refund but I don’t wanna be one of them people.

I wanted to love this foundation. I received a sample and loved the finish when I initially put it on. It's a semi-matte finish with a very natural glow. By the end of the day I had some clinging to a few dry spots, but I naturally have dry skin so I assumed it was due to the fact that I didn't use primer when I put it on. I bought the full size bottle. After wearing this multiple times …Read more

My Shade: 22S Light Sand
Other shades that work for me: TF BTW Porcelain, EL Doublewear 1N2 Ecru, MAC C1.

I love a good natural, glow foundation and so was happy to try out this one. I actually found this product to be quite similar to MAC Waterweight foundation, which I love. I think the consistency of this one though is a touch less watery than the MAC, though still very watery …Read more

Love this foundation because of its thin nature, and light to medium skin-like coverage, It reminds me of Bobbi Brown Skin (theTarte is longer lasting), and Chanel Lumiere Velvet (the Tarte is a bit more skin like). My shade is Light-Medium Honey, and my matches in other foundations are: BB Skin #4, Chanel Velvet 40, MUFE Y365, UD Naked 5. It's a satin finish on my normal skin. It's got …Read more

I have oily t-zone and dry skin everywhere else. This foundation formula breaks apart after a few hours despite using a water based primer. It doesn’t oxidise much on me and it gives out a healthy dewy look if I sweat. But after removing the foundation, it left my skin drier than before. I chose the shade that is closest to mine but it was too light. The shade after that was too yellow. This is a …Read more

I have been using this for about 6 months, and I love it! Before this I had used Smashbox Halo for years. I like a light and natural looking foundation that does not completely cover who I am but makes me look better.

I find this foundation is perfect for everyday use - not too heavy or makes you feeling cakey on face. Perfect to those who have dry skin. My skin is on a neutral spectrum and only have discolouration on certain areas. Formula is quite watery as you would expect from what the packaging claims. This product manages to cover most of my blemishes without feeling heavy on face. Highly recommend.
