Tarte has the best powder foundations...Simple and so easy. If you’re a powder foundation tarte has the best in my opinion....I’ve been using this for 2 months as my touch up during the day and I love it.

With a bit of foundation under the bit of dark spots and under dark circles this powder is great for a flawless finish. * This product is a bit pricey but it is well worth my money because it lasts me about three months and it stays on long and doesn't do any damage to my face like most pore clogging cake looking foundations and powders. :)...I've tried so many powders and foundations and never got the desired airbrush look I wanted.

Coverage: Full

Finish: Matte

Formulation: Pressed Powder

Skin Type: Normal, Dry, Combination, and Oily

What Else You Need to Know: This versatile matte foundation is buildable, long-lasting, and can be used wet or dry.
