lash love: meet your mascara match!
The key to framing your eyes and exaggerating lashes is simple: apply the right mascara, in the right amount. There is nothing worse than clumpy, dried out lashes that look like little spider legs! The fundamental part of choosing the best mascara is to know your lashes. Are they naturally long and could use a little volume? Or do your lashes on the dry side? Whichever it may be, you are sure to find a tarte™ mascara that will suit your lash needs! More >

how to choose the right blush
Nothing brightens up your face like a swipe of blush! But when it comes to finding the perfect shade, it’s important to consider your skin tone. Sure you love the way a swath of neon pink looks on an olive-toned runway model, but can that really work for you? While super saturated pigments tend to work best for darker and fairer skin tones, light, pinky hues are perfect for those with fair skin; they may get lost on darker complexions.
But fear not tartlettes, we created the ultimate blush guide. We‘ve broken it down by skin tone (fair, medium and deep) to help you find the perfect hue to match your complexion! And don’t be afraid to mix and match – that’s what makeup is for, right?! More >

diy: skin firming (recycled) rose face mask
What’s not to love about a fresh bouquet of roses? Not only do roses smell and look wonderful, but their petals actually have substantial amounts of vitamin C, and skin-firming rose oil — it’s astringent properties aid in the tightening of skin and muscles. Plus, with V-Day right around the corner, you’ll have petals to spare. Once your bouquet starts to wilt, take those blooms and use them for your skin’s benefit — a rose petal facial will leave skin feeling firm, replenished and radiant. The best part? It’s an easy DIY! Once again we enlisted Erica, our DIY beauty extraordinaire, to share her favorite rose petal facial recipe! More >
