Review on Tarte's Colored Clay Foundcealer

Happy Sunday everyone!  It's a gloomy rainy day over here.  So I thought it would be a perfect day for a review!  I've been wearing this foundation for almost 2 weeks now, and let's not beat around the bush.  I LOVE IT!!  It's Tarte's Colored Clay Foundcealer.

It claims to be a foundation and concealer in one.  I have mixed feelings about this claim.  When I first used this product, video is below, I had 3 blemishes popping up that it did not fully cover.  I did have to use my MAC Studio Finish concealer to conceal them.  But as for my hyper pigmentation and old acne scars, it did cover up nicely.  My skin has been pretty clear lately.  *knocking on wood*  So I haven't bothered using my concealer.  It's been a nice quick application in my morning routine.  And that's been really nice.  So I guess what I'm saying is that if you do have some stand out blemishes, from my experience with this product, it's not gonna cover them up completely.  Other than that, I do feel you can get away with not using concealer.  I forgot to take a before pic, but here's a pic of my after.

As my day went on.  I touched up once as per usual.  I'm really oily so there is no getting past touch ups for me.  But I have to say, unlike Tarte's Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Foundation, it did not seep into my fine lines.  Big plus!  It seemed to stay nicely put all day.  And the more I wear it, the more I love it!  I am not too crazy about the brush that comes with it though.  I found that it soaked up a lot of the foundation.  So I've been using my trusty Make Up Geek stippling brush.  Love that brush.  I hear she has a new and improved one.  I might have to get my hands on that one.  hhhhmmmmm............  Ok.  Back to the subject at hand.  Here's a pic of later in the evening after my one touch up.  Sorry about the bad lighting.  It was pretty late.

I don't know if you can tell, but it was still smooth and in place.  I absolutely love it!  It's not available yet in your local Ulta's or Sephora's or even on Tarte's website.  But not to worry!  QVC has you covered!  You can get it here.  I forgot to mention that is also has SPF 15.  Always a good thing.  

Hope you enjoyed my review and it was helpful to you if you were thinking about checking out this new product from Tarte.  If you do pick it up, let me know in the comments below how you like it.  And check out my video below for my first impression.  

Have a great Sunday!

Lots of Love,
