Good - Medium Coverage - transfers

I have used Tarte Amazonian clay 12-hour foundation for a couple of years on and off. A plus is that it does not break out my sensitive skin. The downside, is that there is a lot of transfer. Setting with powder helps this a bit, but this foundation has never lasted me all day.. definitely not 12-hours. I do like the finish for the first few hours. I would say it’s medium coverage. Overall a good foundation, but not the holy grail.

Great Coverage

The Tarte foundation is easy to apply with a blending sponge resulting in really good coverage.

The foundation is a bit pricey so ask for samples at Sephora to match your color preference before a full bottle purchase.

One of my all time favourite foundations!

I love this foundation! It's one of my favourites! I love that it's full coverage and makes my skin look smooth and flawless! The only downside I can see is that it does feel a bit heavy, and if I don't moisturize, it can look cakey. Other than that it's pretty well perfect, and there's lots of shades to choose from.

Short wear-time despite claims.

The foundation shade was a perfect match for me, but it just didn't last on my face at all. I've tried other high end and drugstore foundations that last a lot better; this foundaton has the shortest wear time on my skin among all others that I've ever tried.

Feels really nice but not full coverage!

Its a really nice smooth foundation but I don't believe it is a full coverage foundation. Not the best matte finish for oily skin but didn't irritate my skin or clog my pores. It's a little on the expensive side!

Great/Okay?

This product is okay. It's great for the summer time if you're looking for something that is full coverage and will last all day when you're at a water park or the beach. I don't think it will be very effective for the winter time.

I struggled with this foundation at first, but it was expensive so I tried my best to make it work with my skin. Once I found a great moisturizer I liked it a lot better. My skin is combination so it's a struggle. At first this flaked off half way through the day. If you have oily skin, this would definitely be a great foundation to use with a setting powder. Would not recommend for anyone with dry skin.

Leaves my skin looking flawless if exfoliated and moisturized properly. It is more matte so better for oiler skin. I love the texture and that they have a colour range that isn't too dark for my very porcelain skin!

I personally find this foundation too dry for my skin type (also dry) although I would recommend it for someone with combination or oily skin as your natural oils will give you an easier time applying the product than I had! I didn't like how this felt more like a dry mouse than a liquid and found the application chunky despite the amount of moisturizer I used beforehand. I can see why other reviewers liked the product though as, like I mentioned earlier, combination or oily skin types would likely find it very suitable. The bottle is fantastic and distributes a reasonable amount of product instead of overdoing it and wasting product (like more traditional glass "pour" bottles). I also love how secure the twist on cap is! The shades available are also a pretty good variety and the colour can be easily cut with moisturizer or concealer if need be.

This foundation is a little bit on the pricey side! You can buy it at sephora in canada or you can buy it online. I do not reccomend buying online at the tarte.com website because every single time I've bought something from tarte I have had to get my money back from pay pal because tarte would lose my order. This foundation is great quality as long as it is blended well into the skin. I found that if there is too much on the skin it starts to crease a lot! But have no fear for if the product is on smoothly it will give you a natural look through the whole day!
