Tarte Shape Tape Foundation Matte

Tarte Shape Tape Matte Foundation
Price: $39 (kind of steep but that’s usually prices now?)
*I would really suggest trying the shades out in store when they come out at ulta because online won't do you any good and it oxidizes*

PROS:
-vegan & cruelty free
-coverage is medium and can be layered to full
-semi-matte (not matte matte)
-even with that coverage it looks natural and seamless
-fragrance free

CONS:
-shades have weird undertone? (I got medium tan honey and it was very warm like red base?)
-medium sand, medium neutral and medium tan honey were my top choices but the pictures were sooooooo far off from each other 
-I'm thinking all "honey" and tan shades may have the reddish undertone
-at first it looked like it matches then it didn’t then it really didn’t since it oxidizes
-it lasted with that good coverage I would say good 6 hrs and kept getting less and less (broke down so maybe with a powder foundation it would last more, yes I used a setting powder and spray)
-didn’t emphasize anything but if you have dry areas and lines, but maybe after a while they’ll be very obvious (my laugh lines became more and more obvious it started settling there after a while)

-VERY little gray flashback (does not show through colored powder though)
If you have a youtube let me know so I can check it out!

LEFT: MORPHE M581 POINTED POWDER BRUSH $14 DUPE 1: BEILI BLACK FOUNDATION POWDER BRUSH FROM ALIEXPRESS $4.99 + $1.79 (epacket shipping option) = $6.78 (no more tax)   (I recommend this shipping option instead of the free one because it's usually 2 weeks for sure and combined shipping can be done after you've placed your orders from the same seller) Got mine  here DUPE 2: REAL TECHNIQUES BLUSH BRUSH $8.99 (plus tax)  (ulta, walmart, target etc.) THOUGHTS: both dupes are very soft and synthetic, I use them for my all over face powder and also to blend everything on my face also could be used for blush and bronzer which is why I looked for the same style as the RT one I had already as the other one is WAY cheaper even though RT is already cheap SIGMA F80 FLAT KABUKI BRUSH *BEST SELLER ALLURE AWARD WINNER* $25 DUPE 1: REAL TECHNIQUES CORE BUFFING BRUSH from CORE COLLECTION SET $14-19 DUPE 2:  ( HIGHLY RECOM...

This is the 2.0 oz tube for $12 at Sephora It also comes in a jar of 6.0 oz for $30  First and for most, I am in love with this moisturizer! My skin type is oily combination leaning more towards oily but combination because some parts of my face is slightly dry due to acne and just around my nose and mouth is sometimes dry.   What drew me into this product is how it does not contain harsh chemicals, parabens or colorants as stated on the front of the tube.  I wanted something similar to Cetaphil but with more benefits it was just so basic to me I wanted to try a bit more moisturizing formula. When I came across this moisturizer I simply heard it was good for drier skin no fragrance and was a very good base for makeup and what girl can refuse that? Even though I had oily to combo skin, the colder weather made my skin a little dull and not applying so much of the product would not make my skin oilier because a little FYI, even though your skin is oily does not m...
