This is a nice powder, definitely worth a try. I was nervous to use it after reading other reviews that stated the powder became cakey when used, and made skin oily. I first used the sponge that came with the compact to apply the powder -- it does cake a little bit if you aren't careful about how much you're applying. It also depends on how much other product you have on your face to begin with. I found that using a powder brush for application solved the caking issue. You just have to use the right tools and be aware of how much powder you're applying, and you'll be fine. I also found that my skin became a bit more oily than normal with this product, although it really doesn't take that long to do a quick blot. The powder stays in place pretty well. Despite the above drawbacks, this powder evened out my skin tone the best out of any other powder I've used. I have suuuper light skin, and it covers all the veins, dark spots, redness etc that pokes out from behind my skin AND also keeps my skin looking natural (as opposed to one-dimensional like a flat, blank canvas). The light shade also is light enough for my skin but doesn't make me look sickly and is a nice neutral tone. I would agree this is a light to medium coverage powder -- I use it just over moisturizer and finish with a moisturizing finishing spray for a more natural look. It layers nicely though, but again, use the right tools with this powder when you do. Worth a try!
Wanted to love this product as I am a powder foundation gal. I am 53 and have been using powder as my foundation since 1989, mainly clinique but I like to venture out a bit sometimes to see what other products offer. Everytime I will say that I return to clinique for my tried and true, the best powder foundation that I believe is available. My skin has changed since I am older so a few of what they offer does not work as well for me as it once did, however, still hands down the best powders. Anyway,...back to this review. I do like Tarte shapetape which is an iconic product yet this powder foundation is nothing like that. No staying power at all, can barely even see any product on the skin when applied with a powder brush or even a powder puff or the blender makeup sponge. Nothing! Only thing I liked about this product is that Tarte did put .39 oz into the product which is a nice size, just that the product itself is terrible and does not show up or stay.

Initially upon application, it has coverage but definitely appears very cakey. It also is not long lasting. I'm very oily by two hours and it started looking extremely patchy. I have tried using this several times but unfortunately I keep getting the same result. I wish tarte would bring back the it's full coverage airbrush foundation. I would have stocked up if I knew it was getting discontinued😭

The right product for me
LisainTX from TX
I immediately started to itch when I applied this powder and it looked very thick and cakey even when I applied with a brush. The coverage was good but I had to return it.

I use this after my foundation with a beauty blender on any pimples/spots on my face. It camouflages EVERYTHING!! Love it & will definitely be ordering again.
Nadia from Cali
Beautiful full coverage recommended by associate and I absolutely love.

I already use the Tarte concealer but I was looking for a powder to lighten and smooth out my skin. This was perfect for me.

This is a phenomenal powder if you want a nice coverage but still keep a natural look to your skin. In order for that to happen though you have to use a hydrating primer and a dense buffing brush to apply it. This worked so well with my Becca primer and an IT cosmetics brush. It lasted for HOURS too with only one minor touch up needed. I have extremely oily skin too and I think it truly help up well without breaking up on my skin like most products too.

I was really disappointed when I purchased this, as I typically love all tarte products. I tried using a brush, wet and dry sponge and that white piece that came with it and none of them could pick up enough product to make any sort of a difference on my face. It reminded me of something you'd buy at the drugstore. No matter how many times you tried to layer the product on, it wasn't happening. I would have taken a cakey product over whatever this was. They really need to fix this, at this point it doesn't even qualify as "minimum" coverage.

I absolutely love my shape tape concealer so I gave the pressed powder a try! I did have to go one shade darker than my concealer to get the perfect match and I absolutely love it! Goes on very smoothly and it's definitely buildable! I will be purchasing this again in the future.

I've tried several powder foundations over the years and this was by far the worst. It did not apply smoothly with brushes, beauty blender, or sponges and was so, so patchy. It also does not set on the face so it becomes more patchy with wear and exaggerates any blemishes, hair, pores, etc. My undereyes looked like a caked up mess as well. The only reason I'm giving this two stars is because the coverage level is accurate and shade range is fair.

I was looking more for a finishing powder and this works great. I just started using....so as of now, I'm very pleased.
bethany from cleveland
i have combo skin, very oily tzone and dry chin/cheeks. this make my face so cakey and ended up melting off and looking so horrible. definitely not longwear or meant for oily skin.

I use this with no foundation and it covers very well!
Heather from Florida
I use this for extra coverage on top of my foundation and it never fails! Great coverage, great texture and keeps me dry all day even in the hot summer days in Florida! (I have Oily skin) It also pairs amazing with just some concealer! What's there not to love?
MadameBandersnatch from Chattanooga, TN
This is one of the worst powder foundations I've ever tried. It was too hard pressed and made an incredibly splotchy coverage. It was almost slick. It highlighted my pores and settled into lines very quickly. I tried both dry and wet applications. I even dug it out into a powder and tried that. Complete waste of money.
miamisum from Miami,Fl
This is my hands down new fave product. I have a love hate with powders. I have oily skin and need to set with powder but it often gets too cakey. This powder is light enough to not cake and looks beautiful in the skin. of note, I normally wear a bb cream and spot conceal prior to using the powder.
Audi from Texas
I normally get the other powder foundation that Tarte has, but it was sold out. I'm happy I picked this one up because I think I like more. YAY
Sparkly from Derby KS
It's good but not any better than what you can buy at the drug/grocery store. Definitely over priced.

Affordable -Budget friendly

Love how it's feels ..

Usually I use a kabuki brush for powder, but I have been wanting something with my coverage during the summer so I use it with the foam underneath and it's amazing! Hides everything:)
Brittany from Tennessee
Nothing really stands out to me about this product. On the face its really light, but is not very visible or builds. I was expecting more from a higher end powder and feel like I got drugstore quality. It does cover some redness but barely and brushes off throughout the day. I won't be repurchasing this.
