Most Helpful Positive Review Holy Grail of Setting Powders For Me!! I have been searching for and trying so many setting powders for my entire eye area after applying concealer and nothing was mind blowingly great, just meh...so i happened to see this at Ulta one day on an endcap being promoted and thought here we go again more money wasted trying stuff, but i was willing to try it because i use Shape Tape concealer and swear it is the most amazing concealer ever, so i tried this and THIS STUFF ROCKS!! I purchased the same brand superpowder brush to go with it, and wow!! No more creasing, caking or looking fake. It blends beautifully and lasts all day I noticed it stays in place and doesn't fade or look oily hoirs later, and my eyes just pop and my makeup looks smoother. I LOVE IT!! So happy i found this!!!
Most Helpful Critical Review Not a fan I wanted to love this powder. I've only used it for a week so I'm going to keep trying. Def don't use with a brush (as it will get everywhere). You want to use the little powder puff that comes with it so you get it in the exact place you want it. This is a heavy powder and settles in my lines, looks heavy and caked on. It is drying (but I have dry skin). It would prob look better on young skin with no lines and maybe oily skin. It cakes around my nose, also. I'm going to try one last time with a beauty blender and see if that helps at all.

Manda from Wildomar ca

Love it so so so much! 5
Magz from Wildwood
I purchased when Ulta had an extra offer on Tarte. I bought small size first since I tried tons of hyped foundations and powders with no luck. I have to say this is my favorite of all times. It has great coverage and look flawless on my oily skin. For reference I'm really light with neutral undertones. This powder in translucent doesn't turn pink or orange on my skin. Even most important it doesn't clinch to my dry patches. Extra points for Tarte for offering travel size (most often I need time to decide if I like foundation or powder). This is perfect size for testing. I'm truly impressed and although I got some stuff during 21 days of beauty, I decided I want full size. I recommend to try small size first.
Overall great 4
Katie from Connecticut
I love this powder! It's a nice soft texture compared to some other powders I've used that felt grainy. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because the way the net thing/packaging is set up is really weird at makes it hard to get the product as you start to run out
I would buy this again and again 5
Aya from Tx
I love this! Holy grail setting powder.
The. Best. Ever. 5
Mimi from Florida
I have not one bad thing to say about this setting powder. I add this on top of my shape tape concealer & it's a total game changer for me! So easy to apply and it lasts all day long. It gives you that extra brightness you want under your eyes! I will never stop buying this.
The best setting powder 5
Lyd from Riverside
I'm in love with this setting powder. Not sure why I never tried this before. This will be my new go to powder
Love! 5
Lauren from Moreno Valley
I love this powder! It makes my foundation look sooooo smooth and I always have minimal creasing with this powder! I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great loose powder.
Love the powder 4
Leslie S. from Georgia
I love the actual powder. It has a slight yellow tint- perfect for under eyes. However this packaging and design is horrible. It is so messy and difficult to maneuver. I probably won't purchase again for this reason but I am enjoying the powder.
Coverage is spectacular 5
Raebae from 38117
I actually really love this setting powder. I have not used a setting powder that didn't just seep into the concealer I just put on and make my dark circles visible again. It actually enhances coverage and is beautiful with the shape tape concealer. The ONLY small thing I don't like is that it has a slight yellow shade to it, I'd rather have it pink.
Bad. 1
Rena from New York
This is literally HORRIBLE! The powder makes my skin look chalky, and dry. It also causes major flashback despite their claims that it doesn't allow flashback. This was the biggest waste of money ever and I wish I had returned it when I had the chance.
My new favorite face powder! 5
Jennifer from Houston, TX
Since getting this powder, my others are just taking up space in my makeup drawer. This powder works perfectly for me because it absorbs oil but doesn't look chalky on my 57 year old skin and doesn't settle into lines. It's lightweight and does what it should do without looking obvious.
Excellent 5
WiRox from Texas
Great powder! Seems to last all day too!
If you haven't tried it, you might be missing out—try it! 5
Cee from Ohio
I think yesterday was the third or fourth time I've replenished my stock of this setting powder since discovering it. For me, finding a product I love that much to commit to, is huge. I'm not a girl who likes to bake, but I use this around my nose and areas I want to brighten, after I apply concealer and mineral fusion powder foundation, and it works like a dream. It really does blur imperfections and gives my face a finished look. I tried the banana powders from revolution makeup, and actually ordered both the translucent and pale pink powder from KKW beauty, too. For me, those washed me out. Nothing could compare to Tarte's setting powder. Also- I have acne prone, combination skin but most of the time it is dry. This product doesn't break me out at all. I'm very comfortable with it and I love the filtered look it gives me. I highly recommend everyone gives it a shot.
Annoying net 4
Carol from Texas
Overall this powder works well for me! Leaves my skin feeling velvety & sets my foundation. but my goodness the net clumps so easily and you can barely get anything out!
Paraben option for baking 5
Val from Waxhaw, NC
I use this to set my under eye after using Fenty foundation and Tarte shape tape concealer. It does its job!!!!
wanted more for what I paid 2
amassey from Missoula, Montana
It didn't pick up well and got clumpy early on. I expected better quality since in general I really like tarte face products and paid a pretty penny for it.
Great setting powder! 5
Haley from Auburn
This shape tape powder is great. I use it to set my face most days and it does a great job. There's tons of product in the container as well.
I would buy again 4
Jessy from Minnesota
I have been using Becca hydrate powder and found it went dry half way through the container so I switched to a "dry" powder . I'm not disappointed . This doesn't cake and is very light and soft . Love
I Love This Product!!!❤️ 5
Windy Wendy from Cedar Falls, Iowa
This has become my go to setting powder! You don't need to use much, and it has a very natural finish to it! Definitely my favorite!!!
It's ok, wouldn't buy again 3
Kasey from Chicago
It's decent but I've had drugstore powders that are better.
omg YES 5
holy grail. from Texas
First of all...If you are not useing the matte porless primer, tarte foundation and this plus a setting spray on top of it all...i dont think you should even comment on this..lmbo but anyways! this does what it says it DOES. it sets your make up and its matte all day. I am super oily in my t zone but get dry cheeks, eyebrows and around my mouth. this powder is amazing. I didnt get oily until 9 hours later and it was barely even a shine. I am now obsessed with tarte. I am light medium sand in face tape foundation and I put this powder over it and then I put the setting spray.
its AMAZING!!
