Reviews

Nice primer!

"If you are like me you have tried and used a few different kinds of primers. Sticky ones, ones that pill, ones that cake your make-up, etc. This one has a light sheen to it and works exceptionally well with the new CC Cream. It does help with the reduction of my redness and it feels amazing on my face. I'm not a big fan of the little balls. I feel like I waste product when I use the balls. So I just put it on my finger and then spread it around. The one thing I love about buying from Tarte is how fast you get your order. Shipping only takes a few days to get to me and now I only use Tarte makeup on my face. My face has never felt better."

Best add on ever

"I absolutely love this, I do not wear much makeup but this is a great simple primer that gives me a great glow. I use this with the Amazonian clay, great combo"

Sam (5/5)

Never leaving the house without it

"This + my cc cream is the easiest get ready plan, it adds a glow that isn't too much, makes my skin look overall healthy and hydrated, ordering my second bottle now!"

Good product - delivery is meh

"I like the product itself and it blends in well without leaving a residue. I have oily skin and this does keep my makeup put when combined with setting spray. . . Even through sweating in the gym. The roller balls don't seem to help my application as I end up rubbing it in after applying anyway."

Alexandra W. (4/5)

"Really love this primer and coverage. The applicator is very soothing, but a lot of waste left in the tube that can’t get through the applicator at the end."

BALLIN'

"This is definitely a go out and get it now product! I tend to use it daily, so it doesn't last all that long, unfortunately. But it's worth it! I'm almost at the end of the first bottle (bought day Danielle posted it), with maybe a week or so of no use because I could sense it was getting near the end. Sale came up and snagged another! The bronze is perfect shade for the summer (I am light skinned). Gives the perfect sun-kissed glow. I do want to try the pearl next!"

Primer Tarte

"This primer is fantastic. The face become so soft and the makeup is absolutely perfect after this."

AGATHI O. (5/5)

"Hate everything about this primer, the ball applicator is messy and useless, it doesnt smooth product or rub in. It just creates mess. Even the primer is too dark as a bronzer on fair skin so it gathers and doesnt look good as a base product beneath foundation. Wouldnt recommend"

GEMMA (1/5)

Great primer

"This has probably been my favorite primer I’ve found. I have mature, textured, acne prone skin and it’s helped my makeup go on so much better. I also love the cooling feeling of the rolling balls"

Britt (5/5)

I like this primer, I

"I like this primer, I also have the one like this that is tinted that I like even more. It's not real dark but gives a little color. The applicator tip has little balls that you can rub on your face and it feels very nice on my face."

Q&A

Is this primer good for dry mature skin?
We'd recommend the pearl glow or bronze glow finish — both are super hydrating and give skin a beautiful radiance, which is perfect for dry, mature skin. The matte version is better suited for oily skin!
