Let me start by saying I LOVE TARTE! However, this didn't work for me. It went on smooth and effortless but within a couple of hours it started to turn orange on my skin. I ended up looking like...

For girls who are breakout prone this is a no-no. I love this foundations coverage, I wore it over my Clarins skin illusion and it's a perfect color match. But it made me breakout something awful....

I have olive, tan skin with golden undertones. The shade 'Medium-Tan Sand' (for medium-tan skin with yellow undertones) was a great match for me. I bought it @ QVC along with the Airbuki Brush for...

Before you give up on this product, try using it for week because it really takes a few attempts to get used to this product. Personally, I couldn't justify spending another $26 on a brush to...

This was my first time using a mineral foundation product, and I was sadly disappointed at how mediocre this stuff was. First of all, I cannot stand the "Airbuki" brush that is sold alongside...

I have a love/like relationship with this powder foundation, mainly due to it's lack of oil control. It creases around my nose and settles into lines beneath my eyes in no time flat. If you have...

I love the packaging! The netting dispenses just a good amount of powder on the brush and it doesn't go to waste as the net holds it down from flying into the air!
