Definitely needs to be set down with a powder though to avoid transfer...Super impressed with the different shades this foundation offers. It also doesn't feel like a foundation, it comes out super "liquid-y", like a serum vs a foundation...a little goes a long way!

Tarte has the best powder foundations...I’ve been using the loose powder foundation for YEARS, this is basically the compact version of that. ...I’ve been using this for 2 months as my touch up during the day and I love it. I used to wear powder foundations in my 20s to late 40s but now I’m in my 50s, most powder foundation looks caky, except this.

I love how this feels on my skin. I wear loose powder on top of it. It doesn't get oily like other foundations. ...My skin type is sensitive and VERY oily, and I am surprised that this cushion does not melt off of my face after 12 hours.
