WOW, I have sensitive, dry skin (I am 44). I use the Warm Bisque (sooo GLAD I tested the diff colors with a ULTA employee before buying, almost bought the wrong shade). Anyway, it goes on so weightless, yet feels smooth and gives a flawless, dewy, med coverage! People have complimented me. It literally gives me a youthful glow and suppleness to my skin. This foundation along with the Smooth Operator stick concealer (in Light for me) and I am good to go! Will try their other cosmetics soon :)

I started using this foundation in the fall. It did well with my skin (usually oily with some dry patches from acne creams.) I the color I got worked well with my pale skin in the winter with no tan. I liked the full coverage of this foundation. Even got compliments on it. However, now that it's spring. I don't think this foundation is working well for me anymore. I use it with a tarte primer but the foundation seems to look too greasy now. I don't know if it's the color change of my skin or the greasiness of the product. Maybe I should switch to a new color or a different tarte foundation.

I have horrible skin when it comes to make-up.It is either greasy, drying, or irritating. Nothing works! But then, I discovered Tarte! This foundation is fantastic! I have had SO many compliments on how much better my skin looks since I have been using this product that I will never buy anything else again. Not only does my skin look better, it feels better! Love, love, love Tarte!

I love the level of coverage I receive with this foundation, without looking heavy or overly made up. It actually looks quite natural, with a touch of a dewey finish. It blends in flawlessly, and I love how easy Tarte makes it to choose the correct color, even online. Their descriptions are spot on. I am prone to breakouts, but at 30 also concerned with preventing wrinkles, and this foundation has proved beneficial on both accounts. It's a bit expensive, but I only use one pump (about a small pea sized amount) each time, so it will last for a while. When I am going for a more matte finish, I find it necessary to add powder. My only complaint is that I wish it was 20, or even 30 SPF, since 15 is really the bare minimum.

This foundation is worlds apart from the one I used to use from another company. I love knowing I'm not putting toxic chemicals on my face, and the coverage is perfect. After I full day it doesn't look like it's caked into the lines around my eyes. And I think it's actually improving my skin. I would definitely purchase this foundation again.

This is a first impressions review. I went into sephora today and got a sample of this foundation in ivory, and honestly i love it so far. I've only been wearing it for a few hours, but the application is very smooth and creamy, not cakey or heavy AT ALL. I'm just making the switch from using powder foundation for the last 5 years to liquid (I've also never used liquid foundation before) Im using it with the tarte concealer and the finishing powder. FOR REAL my skin looks flawless. Can't wait to go buy a full size! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

I love how smooth this foundation is and the coverage is great. I just wish they had more colors for women of color. I use warm walnut (18) because it's the closest to my skin color, but the concealer available (I believe it's walnut) is not the best match...I use a foundation from another company to get the right combination and they work well together.

I absolutely love this foundation!! It's very lightweight and lasts all day while continuing to cover my blemishes!! I had a problem with adult acne so a lady at Sephora recommended this to me and I've been hooked ever since... I'm tempted to try the new Amazonian foundation because I've heard good things about it but this one is just too amazing to stray away from. Thanks for a great product!

my friend gave this to me because the color she got was too dark for her. she bought her own color because she loved the formula. i got the warm bisque and it is THE PERFECT MATCH for my skin. It goes on flawlessly, has full coverage and hides everything from the undereye circles to redness around my nose. Though it is full coverage it does not look or feel cakey. I don't feel like I have anything on at all! It is also making my skin feel soft and I like that there is skin care ingredients inside and nothing fake or bad.

I just rediscovered this foundation. It was one of the first tarte products that I bought over 2 years ago. I have Porcelain 00. It is so creamy and gives me a gorgeous flawless look. However, becasue I have such oily skin, I tend to have to blot. Not a big deal for me. It wears as full coverage for me. I didn't even have to use concealer on my blemishes it covered them so well. I reccommend using a stippling brush to apply it. Overall a great product.

I am obsessed with this foundation. First of all I want to say that I have NEVER come across a foundation that matched my skin tone as well as this. My skin is light olive with pink undertones (the cool bisque 04 is perfection). It's beautiful, makes you look flawless, and it's buildable for those who need a little more coverage. It's perfect for the harsh winters here in NE. I could see this possibly being a little too heavy for summer...but you could always use less product (or maybe try out the tinted moisturizer). I have Oily/dehydrated/breakout prone skin and being 100% honest, this product has not made me breakout once! I even wear a light layer of it to the gym to cover up my PIH from my last breakout (due to a horrible expensive brand name foundation I was using previously...not going to name drop...GRRR). This product is worth every penny. It lasts a while, and the pump makes sure you get every last drop. AMAZING :)))))))))))))))))

I am 51 years old and have never really worn foundation on a regular basis. Skincare has always been my priority. However, I've noticed in the last year the need for a "bit" of coverup/smoothing. I've tried mineral powder brands and they dry my face out. I've tried really expensive anti-aging foundations and never finish the bottle or jar for one reason or another. Finally, I found this and I really like it. It goes on easily with fingertips or brush. I can use it sparingly and get the right amount of coverage. The selection of shades if great and I got the perfect shade for my light olive skin. I like that it's not heavy and harsh.....but blends nicely and looks natural.

I like this product. i have the most pale skin out of EVERYONE i know, so finding the right shade has always been difficult. i have thisproduct in porcelian, and it's the perfect shade for me. BUT, one major problem... this stuff comes off sooooo easily. you NEED a primer and setting powder/spray if you plan on buying the product. because if you touch your face with just the foundation, it comes right off.

My skin is blotchy and I always seem to have acne somewhere, so I needed a good medium to full coverage foundation. I had been using Bare Minerals in fairly light, and the depth was right, but it was starting to look too yellow on me, and wasn't responding to primers and setting powders that I had been using. I got ReCreate in Ivory, and it is the right depth, but not too yellow.

I love ReCreate! The coverage is perfect for me. On a scale of 1-10 (1 being barely there, 10 being maximum coverage), one pump covers your face at about a 6.5 to a 7. If you use 2 pumps, you can build it to a 10. If you want to layer, I'd recommend applying one pump, letting it dry and set, then applying the second pump. The finish is natural, which means I can leave it be, or make it matte with some provacateur powder. I like to use the Amazonian Clay finishing powder, and that alone won't take away the luminosity of the foundation.

This is an amazing prouduct! But only one thing- you will have to get a finnishing powder, because it only lasts a few ours. The best thing about this product is that it looks beautiful on your skin everywhere, EVEN in natural light. this is the best foundation I have ever used. :)

I've been using Bare Minerals for a number of years and noticed that particularly during the winter months when I have felt tired looking. At 47, I really do not want to look more tired, so I decided to give this product a try. I've used a number of the other Tarte products and found them more than satisfactory so I felt confident that I'd be pleased with this one. Wow! was I ever. My 15 year-old daughter commented on my complexion, my best friend of 25+ years asked what foundation I was using, and random customers have complimented me. In addition to the compliments, my skin feels more hydrated and smoother to the touch. This being the only change in my routine, I have to give credit where credit is due.

This is a good foundation for people who want light coverage and went on heavy if you wanted to get full coverage. It has a light smell not pleasant but you don't notice it when it dries. I don't need the anti-aging benefits(yet) so might change it out for the smooth operator!

I recently decided to switch to all natural products. I am 35 and have always had acne prone sensitive skin. Even products that are made for acne break me out. After reading all the great reviews about Tarte I decided to give it a try - I haven't found anything from tarte that I don't like! I'm extremely picky about foundation and I absolutely love this! I mix a small amount of this foundation with a small amount of smooth operatorâ„¢ Amazonian clay illuminating serum. In just a few days my skin was softer. In a few weeks my complexion became clearer and brighter! ( my acne scars are even less noticeable) I have received many compliments on my skin since I've started using Tarte. I'm totally addicted to this brand! I have used many high priced brands to drug store/supermarket kinds - nothing compares to tarte!!

HORRIBLE foundation! I have tried a lot of foundations and this one is the worst. It creased immediately and settled into what little fine lines I have. I tried several application techniques only to have the exact same outcome. CAKE FACE! The temperature outside was around 80 degrees and my foundation melted right off as well. I would not recommend this foundation to anyone. I have combination skin with no major flaws but with this foundation my skin looked horrible.

It stays on my oily skin, I don't look cakey, and my skin is glowing! A little goes a long way and it is super blendable. Try it, it's worth every single penny!

Yuck, not for me. That does not mean it is bad though. This looked like a caked on mess. Color was great. Formula was not for me. It highlighted every dead flake of skin. My oily skin was oilier earlier than it usually is after applying. Made me break out. It does cover and have good colors. I could see dry to combination leaning dry skin types really enjoying this. I took it back after trying it for two weeks. Not for me, but glad it works for so many others.

I will never EVER EVER EVER purchase another foundation brand EVER again! My sister got this because she was recommended it by an Ulta assistant. I tried some because she was raving about it and OH MY GOSH, man is it awesome! Pretty sure its the 8th wonder of the world! It just flows onto your skin and blends amazingly! It made my face look less oily/shinny which has always been a problem for me. It is just so natural and not heavy at all. And when I would sweat while wearing old products(AZ is freaking HOT) my concealer would run, this just stays put and fees great! I get really excited to put my makeup foundation on now! AND it has cleared up my skin(and my sisters)! I would get breakouts with my other concealers but my face is almost completely clear...I cant even believe it, almost too good to be true!

This foundation has the works to be one of the greatest foundations in the market, if they expanded their color line (hopefully for the very fair skinnned like me). The lighest shade is about two to three shades darker from being a good one for me. The foundation went on very smooth and as the day wore on (and my makeup wore off, like any other foundation), the one big difference is that it didnt leave patches or being cakey looking. It gave a very natural beautiful look. It felt good to know that I had a foundation with a lot of skin benefiting ingredients and also combating one of my concerns, aging. Here's a shout out to Tarte with a challenge, no foundation in the industry ever matches my skin tone and so many other very faired skinned people with pink undertones. Address this concern and deliver those very light shades, you would be ahead of the game and raking in the sales for the fairest that have no true foundation to turn to. You'll be surprised what a good number of people like me need someone to take that move and make it happen. Please do! Until then, I won't be able to buy the foundation until you produce that perfect shade for me.

I really wanted this product to be great, but I would only consider it okay. I have light skin like Nicole Kidman, but this product is a little more orange than my complexion. It does have good coverage, but settles in fine lines around the eyes. I'm in my early 30's and don't have that many wrinkles yet, but this makeup still seems to find them. Also, it starts out looking better and then looks worse as the day goes on. I have drier skin and it brings out the dryness if my skin is drier on a day, especially after a few hours of wear. I am hoping other complexion products are better.

I was hesitant to order foundation without being able to try it first but, I took the chance and am so glad I did. When I first got it I thought it would be way too dark (04) however, after applying a light layer it quickly just morphed into my skin and looked absolutely purrfect. It has never felt heavy, oily, or like I was even wearing foundation. I have now been wearing this for over a year and rarely need concealer because of the great coverage. It takes such a small amount that it makes the price better than most drugstore brands. I also love all the great ingredients, as I feel I am doing something good for my skin when I wear this.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants to improve the health of their skin and look flawless at the same time.

I was a little hesitant to buy this product at first because I have really oily skin and it seemed like it might be too moisturizing. Not really old enough yet to need anti-aging skincare either, but I guess starting prevention early is good! I love lots of other products from Tarte so I decided to give it a try. So glad I did! I love this foundation! It goes on smooth and has a build-able coverage, good because I have uneven skin and need different levles of coverage for different areas of my face. It has a great balance of moisture and oil control. Some mat/oil free foundations can just be dry and flakey, this one is soft and smooth and still keeps me from getting too oily.

I had this stuff in beige. It turned out to be too dark for my lighter skin (not a product default, but rather my own mistake). I threw it out after half a bottle b.c I decided that I did not want to have that cakey overdone, not well blended make-up look. I am also prone to acne, so heavy foundation is not good for me. If you want full-coverage and heavier, thicker make-up, this is it. Some people want that, so I cannot saythis is 'bad' rather just not for me.

I do have extremely oily skin and my skin was able to show this through the makeup as they day went on, but the foundation itself still looked nice!

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!! I've tried soooo many foundations, trying to cover dark spots, tiny broken veins and blotchiness and have never been satisfied until now. This foundation can be used for sheer coverage or complete coverage. You really do get an airbrushed effect. I'll use this forever! Thank you Tarte!!

This stuff is AWEsome! Since I've begun using it, my face doesn't break out even during hormonal changes. The lines around my eyes have begun to disappear and I wake up with a less-puffy eye area than when I was using makeup with all the junk in it. I really think my skin had reactions to anything other than Tarte.

Since this forumla is intended to be thicker than Smooth Operator, it works well for full-coverage. But some days I want in-between SO light and ReCreate full coverage. To achieve that, I mix one pump of ReCreate in the palm of my hand with either a pump of my moisturizer (Neutrogena oil-free facial moisturizer, $8) or the Amazonian clay illuminating serum. Then I build coverage as I go along. It works really well and leaves a very soft look on my face.

After awesome results with ReCreate, I'll never part with Tarte makeup! Thanks, Tarte, for making a product that enhances my skin AND gives me great coverage in a foundation!

This is by the far the most outstanding foundation I've ever owned. I don't even use concealer anymore. I have really sensitive skin and this is one of the few foundations that's never made me break out.

I love the container for this foundation. The design is great because you get every bit of makeup out, there is no waste. I am however somewhat disappointed with the product itself. It doesn't last all day and the coverage isn't as good as other brands i have tried. The color was spot on though. Maybe I will try it again one day...the bottle is great

This is my absolute favorite foundation out there. It doesn't upset my skin, the coverage is amazing
and it looks so natural. I ran my first 5k last weekend. I wore Recreate foundation in Beige, smooth operator pore minimizing powder, park avenue princess matte bronzer and one of the new 12-hour blushes. My makeup was exactly the same after the race. Very impressive stuff. And yes, I did have a full face of makeup for the race:) Why not, when you can look so natural?

As I am getting older I have noticed that my skin is becoming more sensitive towards cosmetics and prone to breakouts. I LOVE this foundation because it doesn't irritate my skin at all.

I wish I could rave about how much I love this product and how much my skin has improved, because I felt after one use like this stuff was different - in a good way, but unfortunately even the lightest shade is too dark, so I couldn't wear it long enough to see a difference. I did however wear it the day I tried it and was very impressed with it's performance. It stayed put all day, provided AWESOME, FLAWLESS coverage and didn't feel or look heavy at all. I have oily skin that tends to get crazy with dry patches in the winter, and this made everything look nice and smooth with a semi-matte finish. If this came in one shade lighter, I would buy it forever.

I have been using this for about 2 weeks now and I really like it. It is NOT oily but it also does not dry out my face. It doesn't feel "cakey", it blends well and is pretty lightweight. It last for a majority of the day - not all day - but better than most brands I have tried. I was a little worried at first because I have a darker complexion (part Native American) and the foundation appeared to have an orange tint to it. However, after the application and allowing the foundation to settle for about 2 minutes that orange tint disappeared and the color matched my skin tones very well. I will definately continue to purchase this foundation.

I L-O-V-E this foundation, I have post acne marks on my face. I love that you can adjust the coverage to your liking or mood and need. With one layer it offers a medium coverage and when dabbing a little more on the areas that you need more coverage it provides full coverage. This foundation can give you that perfect "airbrush finish" . ..

This is a great product and the coverage can't be beat when you are looking for something a little less sheer. I have a problem with redness in places on my face, and I get the coverage I need with ReCreate. Again, though, it falls short for me because there is no option for fair skin with pink undertones. Porcelain with pink undertones is far too light for me, but the only fair skin option leaves me looking a bit yellow. And a small gripe with the packaging, the cap does not stay on well, and is constantly falling off in my makeup bag. Great formula, just needs a few tweaks in my eyes.

I made a mistake the first time applying too much of it since I was going for more natural look (I wasn't used to wearing foundation). Second time around, I just used very little of it and it covered nicely without looking like a mask. Warm Bisque 06 complements my light yellow based skin very well. The color looks darker in the bottle than on my skin.

I got a sample of this foundation at a sephora store because I wanted to try it before buying it. I was so satisfied with this foundation that I went later in the week and bought it. I love it. It last pretty much all day. A little goes a long way and the coverage is perfect.
I am glad I went to test it first because I was thinking about going by the chart complexion and ordering from this site. Chart complexion says I should get Warm Sand - 12 but it was just too dark for me and Beige - 08 worked better. It was the perfect match.

Another winner from Tarte!! I love the way this foundation feels going on. I had been using Bare Minerals, but wanted something hydrating and anti aging for winter. I was worried that this wouldn't work on my combination skin. I have an oily T-zone that is prone to break outs and dry cheeks. This actually worked better to balance my skin than the Bare Minerals! I went most of the day without shine, and my skin never looked dry anywhere. It goes on smooth and has good coverage without looking cakey. This is my go to for the long VT winters!

This one I compared with Lise Watier anti-aging, and Tarte won! It has great coverage, keeps my t-zone matte, and gives the perfect moisture balance. Also, no parabens or other inflammatory ingredients. Thanks Tarte, I can't wait to try your other products! Truly hypoallergenic! :)

I just repurchased this great foundation. I'm Warm Sand 12 and it's a perfect match to my skin tone. I always receive compliments about my skin every time I use this foundation. This foundation is light on skin, doesn't feel like you are wearing a whole lot of makeup, the finish is a satin finish. It does give medium to full coverage, it also works great with Tarte's silicone free primer and gives best results. Photographs extremely well, just use powder if you prefer a matte finish.

After trying and loving all of my other Tarte products, I thought I would give this foundation a try. I have it in warm bisque and when I first applied the foundation, it looked super yellow-y and obvious. However, after a bit of blending, the foundation perfectly melded with my skin while also providing a nice medium coverage. Unlike my previous foundation, I haven't felt the urge to reapply this during the day, and I also haven't broken out at all (a rarity for my acne-prone skin). Although it is a bit pricy, a little goes a long way (one little pump covers my whole face), and it will last you forever.

This is the holy grail of foundations for me. Great coverage, but natural looking and as a bonus makes your skin feel moisturized and soft. I have sensitive, acne-prone skin and this foundation doesn't bother it a bit and covers any break outs when they do occur. My only gripe is that I wish it contained mineral sunscreens like Smooth Operator instead of chemical ones. It's actually surprising considering Tarte's natural approach to their products.

This is a great light to medium coverage foundation. It could easily be built up for a fuller coverage. I really like the formulation - not too cakey or gooey. One of the few foundations I've tried that passed my "finger application test" (I tend to get lazy and just apply my foundation with my fingers).

It's moisturizing to my skin, and lasts all day. I've even slept in it and no breakouts. There's none of that heavy "my face feels like make-up" feeling.

My only complaint about the product is the scent - it's just kind of blech. But, that's just when applying it. by the time it sets, it's completely odorless.

I have been using this product for 2 months in the Middle East desert, 115F avg. It not only holds up to the elements here, it holds up to my constant oily skin. The coverage is excellent as I have a lot of scars from acne problems in previous deployments to this area. My skin looks glowing and I have not had a problem with acne since I began using it. I highly recommend this to anyone who has a rough job but still wants to wear (or needs to wear) foundation. Thank you!

This foundation has excellent coverage yet it looks natural. I wear it with the Clean Slate primer and the Smooth Operator finishing powder and love the results. A pump covers my entire face so this product has lasted me forever! Sometimes it can act up and only a clear liquid will come out instead of foundation but that problem is usually fixed when I tap the bottom of the bottle or shake the product.
I was a little scared when I first recieved this because the foundation inside looked old and crackly but the product didn't expire for another year. Then a sales rep told me that it looked that way because it is a natural/mineral foundation. It works great and I will buy it again :)

This has to be my favorite out of the line so far, I love foundation so much after all it is what brings everything together.
I am a women of color and found it be easy to blend and buildible. I also loved its coverage, easy pump (it came with a pump HORRAY) It was under 40 dollars. This products has things good for the skin and the greatest part cruelty free. And it did not give me a breakout while using it or after using it. I only wish for women of color a bit darker than me it was more colors. Oh yeah and if only my number would stay in-stock...

This product provides great coverage without the heavy coverage feel. I can't even feel the product on my skin. I have very pale skin with cool undertones, so I ordered the lightest shade (porcelain 00). It matches my skin fine, but it seems to have more of a warm tone to it.

This foundation is the only foundation I have found that doesn't leave my face shiny ten minutes after I apply it, nor does it dry out certain areas of my skin that are drier. Great coverage, and you only need a little bit. Hides everything I want it to hid without looking like a heavy mask.

I love this foundation! My mom even likes it, and we rarely like the same foundations, this is the perfect foundation for me because it offers medium coverage, and it comes in shades that have things like beige undertones, I usually find foundations are too pink or orange and this is perfect(I sound like goldie-locks lol). Anyway I really have no skincare routine, so this having the anti aging stuff seems like it would also be very beneficial to me. My skin has become very sensitive and also dry, this provides a really good amount of hydration and also keeps my t-zone in check, and covers my redness without me needing additional coverage(concealer). I really like this product and plan to repurchase this again and again. I would also like to note the pump is very good, unlikie some which do not allow you to control the amount, this does, and I also agree with another reviewer...a little of this product does go a long way..I really have nothing bad to say about this product basically other then the the price, but since a little of this product goes a long way so it will last you a while that is the benefit of that.

I LOVE this foundation!!! Since becoming vegan I have searched and searched for the perfect face makeup (not an easy task, trust me) Everything that I tried was either super drying or had this weird orangey hue. Well my search is over! ReCreate natural anti-aging foundation is the best product out there!! As soon as I put it on, my skin just glows! Just one or two pumps and it covers every imperfection but still has an extremely natural look. It's as if you aren't wearing make up at all and were just born with naturally flawless skin!! It's moisturizing so it leaves my skin smooth and soft but it doesn't make it look oily at all. I've received SO many compliments!!! I'm truly in love.. Use the complexion chart to pick the right shade and get it! I promise you won't regret it!!!!!

I have always had problems finding makeup that does not exacerbate my adult acne. It always seemed that by a few hours into wearing something I felt oily and the process started again causing breakouts. So I rarely get to wear foundation. I tried this after discussing my skin problems with someone who suggested it and I'm SO glad. It has been HOT here this summer and my makeup looks good at the end of the day despite my fears of sweating it all away. And my skin is happy too!

This a good medium to full coverage foundation. I'm not quite ready for anti-aging products. However, I got in a value kit and tried it. The coverage is adjustable, a light layer creates a medium cover age. Then I have gone back and applied a second layer to cover any darker spots (dark circles, redness, ect). Does a great job evening skin tone.
