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.
Reviewed by 157 customers Love it! Works well, and I'm not allergic it's unscented 4
Kaylee from FL
I was always against buying high end powder because I never bring myself to spend the money on it, cause I figured it all did the same thing. I have dry extremely skin and I've been on a makeup journey for a while now trying to find products that mesh on my skin and not bring more attention to the dryness and look as smooth and natural as possible, I bought the mini one to try it out and I love it, my skin is so smooth I will definitely be repurchasing it. I also am allergy prone so I have to be really careful with powders cause they often smell strongly and make my allergies flare up. This powder is not scented and is an even bigger plus for me
Exactly what I was looking for. 5
Co from Fredericksburg Virginia
I apply my primer and foundation and then apply this product. It keeps my foundation looking beautiful while making sure that if I sweat or just wear a few hours, and keeps it from budging or looking greasy. Will be buying again.
horrible 1
cate from co
it hurts me to say this because i love tarte, but this is the worst powder i have ever tried. first off, it is not at all translucent. this made me look extremely cakey. this is like a drugstore powder, i would even say it's worse than the cover girl one. not worth it at all for the price. save your money and go buy the laura mercier.
Better than Laura Mercer 5
Lakin R from Midwest
I bought the Laura Mercer setting powder after watching countless of people and reviews rave about it. It left me cakey- extremely dry. I thought it was the way I was applying it, I tried "less was more" and finally gave up when I tried this out of a BoxyCharm. I'm never going back. It feels smooth and it makes my skin look and feel flawless. 10/10 recommend
Absolutely love! 5
Les from Clarksville, In.
I used it as a finishing powder once I applied all of my makeup.
definitely not translucent 3
sam from Baltimore ohio
I am paler than this shade of powder and it makes me look awful. dark face. light neck. it's not translucent. other than that I really love it. it keeps my make up in place all day.
Seems nice so far 4
RARSN from Ontario, CA
This setting powder was recommended by an ULTA employee and so far I like it. I never used setting powder before so this makes my foundation look that much nicer. This is my first time using Tarte so far so good.
Definitely not translucent 2
Yellow powder from Chicago
It's pretty yellow for being considered "translucent". Smooths your skin out but i'm not keen on looking yellow...
One of my favorites! 5
Holly from Texas city,Tx

My New Powder 5
Amy from Virginia
This!!!!! This powder is bomb and has replaced my Laura Mercier. It's my new holy grail powder. The flawless airbrushes finish is just amazing❤️❤️❤️ Thank You Tarte!!!
There are better ones out there 3
Monica from Philadelphia
The powder will get into your creases such as your crows feet and under eye. Their other setting power is better
Nice Surprise 5
Kay from California
I am always looking for a good setting powder. I work long hours and do not have the time for touch-ups. I first used Tarte's Double Duty Beauty Shape Tape Setting Powder on my eyelids, before eyeshadow. My eyeshadow didn't move or crease. Now, I use it to set my foundation and concealer as well. This product is now a staple in my beauty routine.
I will definitely repurchase.
Yellow hue! 1
Elisabeth from FL
I have very fair/dry skin and was super excited to try this powder that everyone goes on about. It didnt live up to the hype! Its not translucent its has a yellow hue and felt extremely dry. It ruined my makeup look. I couldn't leave the house that yellow. Fit me powder is much cheaper and more effective
Great product! 5
Cassidy from Panama City, fl
Love this setting powder, best one I've ever used! Buffs out my face and smooths it out making your makeup look so flawless!
Best powder EVER! 5
Jessica from Tulsa, Ok
I use the included puff and gently press into my skin. It's beautiful and last all day :)
Beautiful but mild staying-power 3
Maddi from Mansfield, TX
This is a beautiful powder. It's not cakey and doesn't darken my very light concealer. It's very lightweight and comfortable and is great for blurring imperfections. The only thing is, I feel like this has to be applied with a sponge for normal to oily skin. When I applied it lightly with a brush, my makeup didn't stay on like I wanted it too. Also, be sure to use a setting spray with it, if that's what you usually do.
Best Setting Powder 5
Maira V. from Fort Worth
I've tried multiple setting powders, my under eyes crease a lot , I try not to over set it because it also gets very dry , this setting powder sets my under eyes very well and does not leave my face looking dry.
Definitely recommend 5
Re from Houma
I use this everyday I wear makeup and I don't have to touch it up

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.
