![]() So when Tarte launched their Shape Tape Foundation line in two formulations (Matte and Hydrating) with only fifteen shades each, I wasn’t surprised. Welcome to the Twenty First Century, Tarte! ![]() Today, however, the Clay Foundation boasts like twenty four shades. It was so basic, it’s laughable! And, of course, I was neither Fair nor Light but somewhere in-between the two. For me the only two options were Fair and Light before you hit Medium. ![]() I remember back many many years ago, when I was using Tarte’s Amazonian Clay Foundation, they had what I recall to be six, maybe seven, shades in that line. Tarte has never been the place to go for finding your ideal skin tone match. Even better, you can easily build up this foundation with a second layer for super full coverage, something I couldn’t pull off with Double Wear. You will get a very good medium-full coverage with one coat, enough to cover most acne and discoloration. Is the Shape Tape Matte Foundation full coverage? You bet it is! Just as I had hoped, the Matte Foundation is nearly as full coverage as the Shape Tape Concealer, although slightly more sheer as a foundation should be. Which is nothing compared to other foundations I have tried where I end up gleaming by hour two (I’m looking at you Makeup Forever, Nars Sheer Glow, and Too Faced Born this Way!!!). The formula is indeed matte and leaves me with just the tiniest bit of natural shine showing through by the end of the day. It doesn’t last quite as long as Double Wear on my oily complexion but it is certainly the next most long lasting foundation I have ever tried and I still look put together after a full day of work. Tarte Shape Tape Matte Foundation was just what I was looking for in an alternate foundation. Let’s jump right into the review of Tarte’s Shape Tape Matte Foundation available exlusively at Ulta and through Tarte. So when Tarte released a foundation counterpart to my favorite concealer (read my Tarte Shape Tape Concealer review here), I had a feeling that this would be worth trying.Įnough about me and my fascinating foundation history, though. ![]() And she’s kind of hard to remove and slows you down a bit…All metaphors aside, I love my Double Wear Foundation, but I’m the type of person that can’t leave well enough alone. She is so devoted and loyal and she is always there for you. Think of Double Wear like that clingy friend you have. It lasts all day and doesn’t give me that disco ball shine like other foundations can. It is the best foundation I have found for my oily skin. See my story and review of that here.ĭouble Wear is great. It had gotten to the point where I had almost given up on finding my ideal foundation, but then I came across Estee Lauder Double Wear. ![]() I swear, these beauty gurus online all must have the most perfectly normal skin, because they can just chuck on any old base and look pristine. If I reach for a mattifying formula, it looks cakey and somehow creates dry patches that never existed before. So, as you can imagine, I have been through many failed new foundation trials. My skin is confusing. Strangely enough, if I go bare-faced all day, my complexion looks pretty balanced, but as soon as foundation touches my face, it usually looks like Shine Central in my t-zone. I say that, not to be unique and more complicated than others, but because I’m not all over oily, but I’m also not dry in any places. ![]()
