The Details:
This is for anyone looking for the perfect canvas for makeup application. It is long wearing, oil free, antiaging tinted treatment primer that offers light to medium buildable coverage that helps even skin tone and imperfections. The silky formula goes on smooth and blends easily giving a natural looking flawless finish. The BB Primer helps to diffuse light and minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and pores.
The Bottom Line:
I had never tried a BB cream until Tarte as I really didn’t feel the need. I use antiaging product, a primer, I have a favorite foundation and tinted moisturizer so I was good. I love the Tarte line, so when I saw this I thought perhaps I would start here. Comes in three options: light, medium and tan. I chose medium as that is what I normally purchase in foundations and tinted moisturizers.
I was very impressed. The product went on very smoothly and felt like velvet to the touch. It just melts into the skin without feeling heavy and sticky. I wore it alone on a no make up day and it gave my skin a near flawless look. It is a matte finish that lasts all day without any touchup. It is not a concealer, but did a great job of covering some darkness I had near the eyes. It, given the name, may be worn under foundation, but that is not how I will be wearing it as I like a natural look and never build on my foundation application. However, because this feels like silk on the skin, I think it would be perfect, without being heavy, when used under foundation for extra coverage.
The only thing I did not like about the product was that there is no SPF and I need to add my own. There are lots of western BB creams available with SPF so I will probably try one of those the next time around, but if SPF is not important to you, I would highly recommend as it delivers as advertised.
