Notice that the Light Medium concealer was initially lighter and more yellow than my skin tone, and then it turned slightly darker than NC37 and more pink (you can see it better in person) so simply going lighter might not be the solution. Only then will the true shade be revealed. You can test the oxidation by swatching all of the concealers out when you first get to the store, and then continue shopping for at least 20 minutes. The oxidation rate is staggering - leaving it several shades darker than the original application (it's worse in person). I think if you were to buy this concealer in a shade that matched your skin tone right out of the tube, you will be sorely disappointed. What did happen though, is that it Oxidizes. The best way to get around this is to gently press a tissue under the eye after applying in order to absorb excess moisture, and then setting it with a setting powder. It does settle a bit into the fine lines under the eyes, but many concealers do. As for oily skin - I'm used to concealers sliding around my face, but this didn't happen with Shape Tape. Except I don't see how it could qualify as "hydrating." I do think this concealer might not work for people with dry skin as it might make flaky areas become more apparent. So far, so good, though! But how did it fare on a warm day with combination / oily skin? Very well actually - pretty much as advertised. It blends well, but dries quickly so you have to work fast. As you can see above, the Tarte Shape Tape concealer instantly brightened my undereye area and evened out the area around my nose and laugh lines. I chose it in Light Medium because it appeared to be a good match for NC37 at the time. I also did not blot during the day, for science! This is just pure, unadulterated, Tarte, my friends. Tarte Shape Tape Concealer has coverage that just won't quit.īefore we begin, I would like to note that I did not wear foundation for this review nor did I set the concealer with a setting powder. I have heard that it also works well with a mini beauty blender. I like to apply this concealer by dabbing one small dot on the back of my (freshly washed) hand and gently patting it into my under eye with a clean finger. I do like the classy purple and gold design on the cap that just screams "Tarte!" The packaging style is standard among many concealers, with a familiar tapered wand applicator. Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer is advertised to have a "hydrating, longwearing formula delivers natural, radiant coverage across all skin types so you can instantly brighten and cover acne, dark circles and redness while softening the look of pores and fine lines." It is also said to be cruelty free, gluten free (what?), and vegan. Tarte Shape Tape Concealer: Is it worth the hype?
