Intriguingly, Tarte have opted for a dropper rather than a pump, but it actually works really well and as I prefer to build my foundation, I can ensure I don’t use too much 🙂 Inspired by the popular Shape Tape Concealer, this foundation can cover common problems, such as bruises, veins, age spots, scars, cellulite, stretch marks, and so much more. Their trademarked Tape Technology also makes skin look smoother. It has a matte formula so it looks natural. tarte's™ hydroflex™ serum foundation, the ultra-lightweight serum foundation that moves with your skin! On the left is my face without any product on it. On the right is my face after applying the foundation to half my face. As you can see this has a light to buildable medium coverage, but I just love how this evens out my skin tone. It is not overly cakey and looks like skin once it it on and that is something that I love about this foundation. I’m waiting for this foundation to arrive from QVC! I decided to go for it after all the praise it’s been receiving on social media.

The Skin Treat Tinted Moisturizer is made with extremely moisturizing ingredients such as diamond powder and lipoamino acids. Your skin will always feel soft and smooth when using this product. Even though it’s a tinted moisturizer, it doesn’t have a dewy finish. Rather, it has a mattifying finish. Since it’s oil-free and controls shine, it’s also an ideal tinted moisturizer for those with oily skin. Even though this is a full-coverage foundation, it’s made with gentle ingredients, is dermatologist-tested, and is very comfortable on the skin. My skin is usually one of the few parts of my body I can rely on. Unlike my hair (temperamental at best) and my stomach (growing a baby), it normally looks the same day in and day out. Lately, that’s changed. Pregnancy will do that to you! Along with a sensitivity to heat and certain actives, I’ve got perioral dermatitis. Have you used Tarte foundation before, but want another alternative? There are many brands similar to Tarte, such as:I wasn’t sure I would be a fan of this formula, given that I'm usually a tinted moisturizer kind of girl. I don’t love heavy coverage on me so I was concerned I’d look like I had a mask of makeup on. I needn’t have worried, though, because that didn’t happen. In fact, my skin looked more airbrushed than I’ve seen it look in a long time.

This foundation sounds amazing! I always hear good things about tarte, I’ll have to give their products a try 🙂 Findation sounds like such an amazing concept too, I always struggle with finding what shades I’d be in new foundations, so thanks for sharing this! Great review 🙂I was a bit apprehensive about testing Tarte’s Rainforest of the Sea Water Foundation because I usually don't go for fuller coverage base products. While I can appreciate a beat face on someone else, I don’t personally love the feeling of wearing lots of layers of makeup. I decided to try and use this. First, you put what skin type you are. I’m overall normal but am more on the dry side in the winter. I’m writing this in the summer/fall, so I’m going to say “normal.” Next, it asks you about your coverage preference. I like coverage but I hate full coverage foundation, so I’m putting medium coverage. Then, it asks your finish. I put natural. What’s in this foundation with a funny name? Well, it serves as an all-in-one product. This foundation not only offers coverage but also includes a concealer, sunscreen, and moisturizer. Even though it only has medium coverage, it is buildable in case you need a stronger foundation. It’s easy to blend and feels comfortable on your skin for all-day wear. We put Tarte's Rainforest of the Sea Water Foundation to the test after receiving a complimentary sample from the brand. Keep reading for our full product review. So naturally I gravitated towards the one I could be colour-matched for and actually be able to try out before buying, and I popped into my local Boots to get a sample of the Clinique foundation. Even though I barely applied any, it felt really cakey and heavy on my face and I wasn’t a fan at all, which is a shame because I love a lot of their other products; especially their skincare ranges.

Another great plus of this foundation is the lasting power. Because this settles to a satin matte finish, this means the foundation lasts all day. Above is my face after a full day of wear where the foundation had been on for 10+ hours. It has faded in some areas, but for the most part this looks great, even around my nose where foundation disappears first. The Conclusion It lasted on my face all day, even when it started raining and my face was getting wet. There’s nothing worse than foundation streaking down your face in the rain (yep, I’ve had that experience before.) Amazing! I absolutely LOVE this foundation. It took a bit of experimenting with different primers, but once I found the correct combination it has been perfect.Make-up and skincare services, BrowBar benefit, gifting and personalisation workshop, Sephora offers you a whole range of services to come and discover in store
