I didn't have high expectations for this foundation, but it totally surprised me. I first bought a small bottle just to try it, in my quest for a skin-like foundation with good coverage but that...

I like this foundation but I wouldn't buy it again for several reasons: It is NOT water based, and it is very misleading of Tarte to advertise it as their "water foundation". It is a silicone...

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...

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...
