OILY SKIN HOLY GRAIL

Thank you to the girl who recommended this to me in store! I have combo skin and every single foundation tends to separate throughout the day where I’m oily. Literally ALL OF THEM. This one stays put even on 12 hour work days in the heat, even endures the temperatures of NYC subway (iykyk). This has amazing coverage, stays matte all day long and barely transfers. If you’ve seen reviews like “this foundation cleared my skin” it’s actually true, it did help with my black heads. It has to be the miracle of the clay. I just found my holy grail product, hope it’s never discontinued! The only thing is that the application is a bit tricky. If you do it wrong it may look cakey. The girl who recommended this to me said to use a dense and fluffy foundation brush rather than a sponge, and it’s really a good tip. If you apply this correctly, it looks like you have a blurring filter on your face IRL!!! This is not a paid review or anything, I purchased it with my own money, and simply love it!

Awful Reformulation

I have no idea why Tarte had to mess with a good thing. I used this foundation for YEARS and it was amazing. The coverage was great, it stayed put for hours, didn't bother my sensitive skin, and I swear it actually improved my skin! This new formula is so cakey (to an embarrassing in public extent) and the unnecessary fragrance broke me out in a rash. There's also no more SPF for some reason??? Tarte, you need to admit failure and bring back the old formula!
