HOLY GRAIL!!! I have combination skin with texture and my cheeks have acne and get dry and my t zone gets very oily. I can NEVER find a foundation that works and I tried a tester of this and oh my god. I had to get matched multiple times which was a bit annoying because I always got matched too dark but the last shade I got matched to matched me PERFECTLY. Like PERFECT! And the coverage is buildable just to how I like it with looking medium to full coverage without being cakey. I do get a little oily at the very end of the day but I’m in the process of looking for a good primer so that’ll get better. I also use shapetape concealer with this to highlight my face and under eyes and let me tell you it has never looked more flawless with another foundation with this one it blends in seamlessly. I just honestly can’t tell you how amazing this foundation is just give it a try!! Completely recommend!! The photo is of me in direct sunlight and I have cystic acne.. YOU CANT EVEN TELL IT JUST LOOKS FLAWLESS!

Though this product is comfortable to wear in texture, fragrance, and ease of application, I give it a 3 star because of the durability, layering ability, and coverage. 

When trying the produce, I was impressed at the texture and how smoothly it went on, both with a brush and sponge. It does not have a strong odor, which is my preference. 
I would classify this as a medium coverage that is buildable, so seeing it advertised as full coverage gives me pause. Throughout my day (7-8hr) wearing it, I noted it breaking down around my nose and in the divot between my chin and my lip. My skin is typically oily, especially in the t-zone, for reference. 
I used a Naked concealer and La Mericer translucent setting powder, as well as Fenty's Match Stix contour. When I applied the concealer and contour over, I noticed a difficult time blending it out without losing the pigment or having it separate. 
Overall, a good product, but maybe should be advertised as medium coverage and not as 12-hour. I'll be excited to try it with other Tarte products, however, to see if I have more success with the layering. 
 

This was recommended to me by an employee of ULTA. I told her I have oily skin and am tired of foundation separating it just disappearing on my skin. This, she assured me, would not. I usually don't spend this much on makeup but thought, "hey, if it works, it will be worth it!" I was so excited to try it the next morning. I used my oil controlling moisturizing gel, my primer, this foundation and a setting powder. It disappeared from my nose in an hour and separated in the forehead in 2 hours. The next day, I used my moisturizer and primer with this, I had the same result. I tried just primer, then just moisturizer, then just setting powder after and had the same result with all. I was so disappointed because I've had better results with foundation from brands that were literally a third of the price of this one. I was so frustrated that I threw it away after a week. I love Tarte but will not be buying this again. Next time I buy an expensive foundation, I will definitely get a sample before my purchase.

As a product that is labeled full coverage, I highly disagree with that. There is not a lot of product for $39 and I found myself layering the foundation which is a turn off for me. I like my money to last and to be well spent on lasting products. I purchased from Sephora and actually returned this item for my go to full coverage foundation. A lot of my friends swear by this product, but it did not work for me. There is a broad spectrum of colors to match skin tones, so I was matched quickly. I am very oily and it did not provide the smooth, matte finish I seek when beating my face. With foundations I always recommend to grab samples first. I did not hate this product, I simply didn't like it. I think it provides a medium to light coverage and should be labeled in such a way so it doesn't throw consumers off. 

I appreciate that all of Tarte's products are cruelty-free. This foundation is easy to apply, with a nice consistency and good slip. It does not cake up or go on unevenly whether I apply with a foundation brush, a beauty blender, or my fingers. The finish is semi-matte, and the color blends with my skin tone beautifully. The coverage is medium - it smooths out imperfections without concealing them entirely. My skin is combination trending oily, and I can't say that I get 12 hours out of this foundation, but that's true of any foundation for me. Finally, I like that this product contains a physical sunblock, as chemical sunscreen always gets in my eyes and burns. 

If I want something natural looking, I reach for this. If I want a more glamorous, 'made up' look, I'll go for something full coverage. 

This is a good full coverage foundation. It is thicker in texture, but has a creaminess to it. It does not cover my acne and scars with the first layer, but with another layer it does lessen the appearance. Still need concealer to completely cover the blemishes though. It does last long, but I combine it with the tarte 12 hour poreless primer, and blot excesss oil off when I get a chance (which is usually once a day) so not sure how it does on its own. I can wear it for a good 8-10 hours and then notice it "pooling" around my nose and other areas that it tries to migrate to. I do have very oily skin though so this is very good in length of time that it starts to move. Has good shades that are able to blend really well with my skin tone. So far this has been my favorite foundation to date.

I am a 40 year old woman with combo skin.  I lean more towards oily, however I have some drier spots so I will just say over all combo.  This foundation has grown on me.  I purchased on a whim.  I found an awesome deal in a set so I was like why not.   It is THICK.  You must apply in thin layers to build the coverage.  I have laugh lines and to be 100 % I have not found a single foundation that has not settled into them.  I use a primer and my skin is took care of.   I have simply accepted that I will just have to live with it and I carry a beauty blender with me to smooth out all my foundations.   Anyway , if you are oily , get this .  It is not for dry skin.   It is readily available. 

So I’ve been using this foundation for about a year and I seriously love it. It has great coverage, it helps with my red skin but the one con that is convincing me to branch out and try other products is the way it looks on my dry skin. I have your typical combination skin with dry patches around my nostrils and then on my forehead and the rest of my skin is typically just a bit oily. Everyday I exfoliate, wash my skin, moisturize and prime and I still have issues with the way it looks on my dry skin after about 6 hours. It almost gets kind of clumpy and flaky and it can be pretty embarrassing especially when I’m needing to look really really nice. The price is good in my opinion and I really want to love this product because literally EVERYTHING else about it is amazing. If you have dry patches or dry skin like I do I would recommend maybe testing it (you can get a little amount at Sephora to test it out) and see how you like it before buying it.

First of all, I’d like to say, when I kept hearing about how great this foundation is, I thought it was too good to be true. Do not let me 4 stars fool you, this product is amazing! When it says full coverage, it definitely sticks to its word! The reason I gave it 4 stars is I wish for more color options. Their shades were either too light or too dark for my neutral/olive skin tone. The texture is very thick and a little foundation goes a long way! I used a foundation sponge with my product because I found it spread the product and gave the best, smoothest result. Will purchase again, possibly with a darker setting powder or something to match my skin tone a little better. I love tarte!

I'm hesitant about trying new foundations, especially without trying them on first, but I decided to order this foundation through Tarte while it was on sale and I am super pleased with the results! I was matched to Light Beige through the website, which made me a little nervous because I'm pretty pale and beige sounded like it would be too dark, but it's perfect! This foundation is super build-able and lasts all day without fading or caking or any oil showing through. Definitely worth the extra money, and I can see it lasting me at least 3 months. Paired with shape tape concealer, I get the perfect coverage! And it's cruelty free! Thanks Tarte, you rock!
