Overall, this really is a great concealer in terms of how much coverage it provides, and it never feels like you have 10 layers on your face (even if you do). Although it is thick, it's not overly heavy-feeling, so points for that. But the formula is a tad thick for this if you're thinking of using it in the same way. I really went for it when applying it all over my face, and honestly, I didn't hate the results. It gave a soft, blurring effect that covered my dark spots really well. It blended really seamlessly using a brush as long as I buffed it out as soon as it touched my skin. I really like the coverage it provides, but it's definitely a thicker formula, so beware of using too much product. I used the original formula here in the shade 42S. Photo: things first, you have to work very quickly with this concealer because it dries down fast. Keep reading below for my before and after shots, application tips, why celebrity makeup artists hoard the stuff, and more. I put this formula to the test and came up with a longer list of pros and cons so you don't have to. Third, it's incredibly versatile and can be used as both an under-eye concealer and foundation if you feel called to use it in that way. Second, it doesn't settle into your pores or look cakey after a few hours, which I wholeheartedly appreciate. I'll give you the CliffsNotes version here and give you three simple reasons to try for yourself.įirst, this concealer never dries out your skin, which is common with a full-coverage formula.

I've come to a few conclusions that I think you'll want to know about-it's totally worth a few extra dollars. Pretty much everyone I know uses and loves this concealer, so I decided to hop on the bandwagon and see what all the fuss was about. Yep, I'm talking about Tarte Cosmetics Shape Tape Concealer ($30).

There is, however, one legendary concealer out there that might not be the cheapest in the world but has garnered a cult following because it's totally worth the $30 price tag. I would say rightfully so-some expensive formulas are the same as the ones you find at the drugstore they just cost a pretty penny more. I know some of you have very mixed feelings about high-end or pricier concealers.
