Reviews

Nothing comes close..

"I have THE most sensitive eyes. I am in sales and work insane hours and my coworkers were concerned about me when I ran out of this concealer. It hides the pain...... I tried a dupe (Pixi) and it was gaarbage. This may be my reorder for life, if there is something better Tarte will likely make it"

— Renatata (5/5)

Number 1 for a reason!

"Yes there is a reason Tarte CC Under-Eye Corrector is a best seller. As a makeup artist I am never without this product. As one who has been plagued with dark under-eyes and dark patchy spots on my face all my life I have tried everything to fade them. Nothing has worked but at least I can easily camouflage them with this product. I had to try it out on myself to see how natural and long-wearing it was before ever using it on my clients. Now I'm never without it and the paw brush applicator (that I purchased separately from Tarte) is my favorite applicator tool. If you haven't tried it yet what are you waiting for? It really is...all that!"

— Georgia85 (5/5)

Doesn’t cake on my fine lines under my eye and covers my dark circles

"This is a great cream that doesn’t dry out and cake under my eyes making me look older With a little moisturizer and this my eye brighten up and cover my dark circles well with out drying out later in the day and showing my wrinkles"

— Leticia M. (5/5)

Best concealer for dark circles

"I have been using this concealer for several years and this is the best at covering dark circles from tired eyes. I have light/medium skin with a slight olive undertone and the shade light-medium peach is perfect for my skin tone. I’m a teacher, mom and just prone to having dark circles under my eyes even when I don’t stay up late and this concealer always helps me looked refreshed. The concealer is very creamy and easy to apply. I use my finger to apply a small amount under my eye area (after I put on primer) and it glides on my skin and blends in beautifully. I then I apply my foundation and set it with my setting spray. It lasts all day and I have never had any issues with it cracking or flaking off."

— Jamie S. (5/5)

Nice Surprise

"I was pleasantly surprised at how well this helps to cover my dark circles and helped to lessen the appearance of the bags under my eyes. This is the first product of this kind that I have found that actually does what it says it does for circles and bags. Usually the people who recommend these products are young, have no dark circles, lines or bags. Would definitely recommend."

— Amy S. (4/5)

Amazing Color correct

"Amazing colour correction, easy to apply, isn’t cakey, creamy, brightens dark circles"

— Mimi (5/5)

great coverage

"This product has a vital place in my cosmetic case. It beautifully conceals my dark circles without settling into wrinkles and making them look worse. its light, easy to apply and the coverage is excellent. I think its great"

— donna s. (5/5)

"My Records show I ordered the pink and for some reason I got a peach color which won’t work on me at all. I also thought that it came with a application brush. Mine did not arrive with the brush so I was very disappointed. This product does not do any cover-up on my under eye circles. I don’t know if the other color would’ve worked or not."

— Lori (2/5)

Tiny but powerful

"I can’t say how much I really love my tart corrector. I’ve been trying for years to find something. to cover them I’ve spent countless dollars trying I have dark circles since I’ve been young I could never find anything that quite covers it correctly. Well now I found it. I definitely recommend this. I make sure I always have a backup on hand."

— Debbie N. (5/5)

Brightens my eyes

"I like the coverage this provides because I have very dark circles under my eyes. It doesn’t crease - but it does seem to attract black residue from my mascara. I recently invested in the brush and have to say that makes a difference with application. Overall, I’m happy with the product."

— Sandra S. (4/5)

Q&A

SIZE: The Tarte CC Undereye Corrector contains 0.08 oz of product in the compact!
I have this along with the setting powder. Should I be using both before my foundation? Or should I wait to use the setting powder until after I apply this and my foundation?: We would recommend applying this as one of the first products in your routine as a corrector makes a great base for coverage.
I have sun spots I want to conceal, but it's at the top of my cheeks where I apply brush and bronzer. How well does this corrector stay put? Or will it shift the second I put anything on top?: Hi tartelette! Since our CC undereye is meant to be used as a corrector users are always applying other products on top of it like concealer, foundation, powders. The CC should stay put even after applying your other products.
can it be applied without consealer after it on pale skin? or it will be to dark or colorfull? what's the weight/amount of it? thanks: Hi tartelette! You can definitely use this product with or without your everyday concealer depending on what coverage you are going for. We have three different shades to choose from so we'd recommend the lightest if you have paler skin.
Is this a cream or a powder?: Hi Tartelette! This is a cream formula!
