Great coverage that doesn't look like you have makeup on
I complimented my friend on her skin and she told me she had "makeup on". I was surprised to hear that, her skin looked natural and even-toned. So, of course, I asked her what she was using and it was this foundation. I bought this and love it. First, I love that you have to apply it with a brush - doesn't get all over your hands. Second it is a lovely finish. Not dry or too matte, but not shiny either. I use a little of the translucent setting powder on top and I'm good to go. In the past, I had used IT cosmetics CC cream (too heavy) and R+F Radiant Defense (leaves me too shiny) but this foundation is my favorite. I will stay with it and have also purchased more Tarte products (bronzer and the Maneater mascara - I love it and learned that applying it with a light touch is the best method).

Perfect full coverage for oily skin
This is the only foundation that will cover flaws and NOT be oily on my face EVER. Lots of foundations boast they are good for oily complexion but yet 30 minutes later or less my face is an oily mess. This matte foundation is perfect and stays on all day. 100% guarantee.

love this foundation. I've been using it for years. I have sensitive skin. I had a hard time finding it. it use to be available on QVC, Sephora and Ulta. They have replaced it with all 16 hour which was much too heavy and color was not the same though the numbers were.

The ORIGINAL foundation!
I LOVE this foundation! I was using it for years. When sephora and ulta stopped selling it, i was introduced to their newer clay foundation and absolutely hated it! I tried everything to make it look better. I have used various top selling foundations in the last 6 months and nothing has felt as good as this tarte OG. I was SO HAPPY when i realized this formula is still on the website. Just bought 2 bottles! Please keep this! Please put it back in other retailers! Its amazing, and i can tell by all the reviews on sephora, the new one is not being received well.

LOVE IT, switched from a different Tarte foundation to this! I did have to go "a shade up" 22N to 27N
I bought this at a makeup specialty store and not directly from website... The 1st thing I will say and this is not a negative thing at all... I have been wearing Foundaconcealer for Many years and was still learning that it's OK because it's for combination skin but... After I had my son I saw a Provo for it and Tried it. Didn't have to take the 1st chain back to the store to be cut as I matched it to my color in another part product which was way to light. I even did have face of my old product and went up a shade to 27 in this product and they look pretty much the same... So maybe it's because it's Dancer or something but I would suggest that you look into it other than that I am super happy and pleased with this product. I've never tried the old one and I know a lot of people were talking about the old verses the new or whatever but and never tried the old 1... So I didn't have anything compared to I was hoping that it would be like ... Whiteweight field with well coverage buildible in it was all those things.
Obviously if I didn't want to have that make up foundation cake face and I don't !!I will be buying this for years to come it's just replaced my other Tarte foundation. [I really like that my fave Foundation and concealers, which I bought as well are Tarte bc ... if I could choose natural makeup for only ONE area.. It'd be the Foundation because it literally lays a foundation through your face and covers more service area the hand is obviously absorbed in so I don't want anything weird in it more so than.... Say eyeliner or something that's just on a small part or mascara that's on your lashes not technically your face. Thank you Tartea

Bring back the old formula PLEASE
This new formula is the worst. Washes me out. Needed to go 10 shades darker. They took out sunscreen (in 2022 why would you take sunscreen out of a product!?). It smells terrible -like paint. Makes my skin look textured AND aged within 3-4 hours of application. I’m a nurse the old formula looked good for 12-14 hours (my whole shift) this one looks like crap within a few. Now I have to hunt for a new foundation. Please bring back the OLD formula!!

Most amazing foundation in the world. I’ve been using it for a couple years and I couldn’t find this time the tone I was using (it’s called light sand) now I don’t know if they changed the name to fair sand but anyways.. I bought one called fair beige and I didn’t have the same match as the other one but still being super good!

11 out of 10!
I found my forever foundation. I can never find my right skin tone with my undertones there always too light or too dark or too yellow it’s so frustrating! This foundation I got light beige and it’s perfect! The consistency is thick but thin once you spread it out with your beauty blender. I was worried about the clay feeling but it goes on the skin so smoothly! High recommend for any skin condition. Medium to full coverage!!

Best foundation!
This is the best foundation I’ve ever used. I’ve been using this for over 10 years. My skin is combination in summer and more dry in winter. I’m a cosmetologist who works 12 hour days and this never looks bad by the end of my work days. Never breaks me out and I don’t use a primer with it. They changed the formula and I used the new one and it broke me out and my skin was SO dry and flaky. It took weeks to recover. I had cystic acne and I haven’t had that since I was a teenager. Do not get the new formula!

Favorite Foundation
I love this foundation and have been using it for three years. The formula is comfortable on the skin, easy to blend, and looks so nice on my oily skin. It doesn't give me acne, and looks pretty good after 8-12 hours of wear with no refresh or touch ups.

Love This Foundation!
I’ve been using this foundation for years! It has great coverage without feeling heavy. I also like the sunscreen, which saves an extra step of having to apply it separately. It would be nice to have a higher SPF option (30, 45).

Best for oily, acne-prone skin with rosacea
I have very oily, sensitive skin that's acne prone topped off with rosacea. It's hard to fond cosmetics that won't break me out, make me more oilier or irritate my rosacea. This is my favorite foundation by far! It's not cakey, covers amazingly, lasts all day and my skin loves it. I have been wanting to try the new foundation but I keep telling myself nothing can get better than this!

My go to foundation
I've tried other foundations and always come back to this one. Amazing coverage that feels natural and light and is buildable. I actually have dry sensitive skin and this foundation still works amazingly even though it's a "drier" foundation. This will be in my makeup bag for as long as they make it!

I have been using this foundation for years and years. It is a great consistency and provides great coverage. It is a great base to add blush and highlighter to complete the look.

Smooth like buttah
I loveeee this foundation. It’s smooth like butter and finishes off well with the Amazon powder. I mix it with the rain forest of the sea water based foundation because the color for this is a bit too pink for my shade (only reason for the 4 stars) and it works out perfect!

Bring Back the Shades
I really love this foundation and the fact that it has SPF. I understand there is a new one with the full spectrum of shades this one used to have but it does not have SPF. Why remove SPF from your foundation? That doesn't make sense considering how important it is for your skin. I have been using this product for years and now my shade is only available in the new formula without SPF, and I am trying to decide if I should just start wearing sunblock under my makeup or settle for a different shade in this product.

Best makeup for full coverage
I've been using this makup for at least 10 yrs ago.
Since I was diagnosed with gluten senstive. I love it
because its great for full coverage, acne scars,etc. I hope they continue to have this in stock because its the only foundation I use.

i have a similar issue as this. The struggle to find the perfect foundation can be so hard! I have found that sometimes it depends on the brand as far as which works best. For tarte, when I used the neutral light and the shade is beautiful but slightly too dark in the winter, although it works well for me in the summer months so if you get pasty in the winter the shade neutral will probably be great for you. I like neutral tones in the winter to not look yellow (mac C22 for example has to be blended so much to not look yellow...) the fair/light neutral would be my go to

In the summer, you can always add bronzer. Fair-Light Neutral and Fair-Light Honey are both considered neutrals. Honey is a step-up and has a little more pink/peachy undertones.

Fair light neutral is darker than fair light honey. If you are real fair than go with fair light honey and if you are on the fair/light then go with fair light neutral. I have both and fair light neutral is too dark for me. I’m fair but not real fair and fair light honey works for me.

I see your logic but the problem with peach is it can end up being a tinsy bit to orange for some. Just wanted to point that out! So the more nuetral one would be better unless you think you naturally have a more orangey hue or tan a lot currently.

I think people use the word "olive" differently, but to me, olive refers to skin that actually has a green undertone to it (which mine does) - not yellow. I use this in medium neutral and it is the best shade match of any complexion product I've ever used.

I'm not sure on the oil-free part, but I would describe it as so-so for acne sufferers. The upside: it is full coverage and hides blemishes and breakouts very well. The downside: it is full coverage so it tends to clog pores which can aggravate acne and breakouts. As painful as it is to recognize, going foundation free is the best thing you can do for your acne, so deciding to wear foundation is a game of give and take for how you want your skin to be affected. Hope this helps.

I’ve only used this a couple times because I only have a sample I received from ipsy.... that being said, I really like it! It glides on so nicely! It lasts through my 12-14 hour shifts as an ICU nurse! Suggestions: I still apply my Elf Blemish Control primer. AND.....for sure you MUST wash face well at the end of the using makeup remover cloth first and my favorite face wash.

I have issues with my acne, and this foundation works great! It seems a little heavy when you first squeeze it out of the bottle, but it goes on so light and doesn't feel caked on at all. I usually use a little extra on the spots where I am breaking out, and it gives great coverage. I haven't noticed any worse acne after using this nearly every day for the past year!

Personally I think this foundation really goes great with acne prone skin! I don’t have awful acne but this foundation always seems to be balanced enough that I can be confident it definitely doesn’t make it worse. Now I wouldn’t go wild and leave it on overnight or anything, but with good skin care elsewhere it has been a great fit for me!

I would definitely recommend! My acne isn't horrible but it definitely flares up from time to time and my skin is super sensitive. This is one of the only foundations that hasn't caused breakouts for me. My skin gets pretty oily, and I use this with setting powder and it lasts all day and stays decently matte too.

I recently switched to this foundation along with other products for my cleansing regimen & can honestly say that I have not had one single breakout. I suffer from cystic acne that is often aggravated by products. This foundation offers great coverage that doesn’t clog pores. I believe it is oil free as well.

This is an oil free foundation and the best for acne sufferers. This allows you to choose your own moisturizers and the best thing about this is the physical sunscreen that allows you to build up from your own sunscreen if needed. The zinc in it helps calm inflamed skin.
