Key Ingredients

Amazonian clay: acts as a total skin balancer, by hydrating all skin types, reducing the appearance of dry, flaky skin, improving clarity and texture, and removing surface oil to mattify skin for a soft focus and flawless finish

How to Use

Use a large fluffy brush and lightly dust finishing powder over skin alone as a treatment or over concealer and foundation to keep makeup in place and add a natural finish. For targeted application, use your ring finger to gently pat finishing powder over undereye or blemish concealer to keep product from migrating into fine lines, wrinkles and dry skin.

Ingredients

Finishing powder: Use a fluffy powder brush to dust over your foundation, focusing on the oily T-zone to set your makeup to a natural matte finish.

Baking powder: Use a small concealer brush to layer the translucent formula over your undereye concealer. Let it sit on skin for 5-10 minutes, allowing body heat to activate & set concealer into place. Then, dust away the powder to reveal a brighter, mattified look.

Treatment powder: Apply the formula alone onto clean skin to eliminate shine & blur pores while allowing skin to breathe.

body{margin-left:12%}Product ReviewsRated 3.93 out of 5 stars875 ReviewsMost Helpful Positive ReviewFinally!!!I have FINALLY found my holy grail setting powder. I HATE powders because every single one that I've tried, both high end and drug store don't work for setting my makeup, make me look dry , cakey and greasy all at once, and always thoroughly let me down. But the saleswoman who helped me swore by it so I took another chance with little to no expectations. It's WONDERFUL! It's silky smooth, sets my foundation and concealer beautifully, minimizes the appearance of my pores, doesn't look dry, doesn't cake up, and even when I use it for a mid day touch up it doesn't get patchy or weird. It doesn't do a fantastic job at mattifying, but it does well enough that I'm still in love with it. The search is over!Most Helpful Critical ReviewMixed feelingsI love this product for baking. It's too messy to use it for dusting it on your face. It controls shine well, and keeps my foundation in place, however, if you have any dry patches, IT WILL CLING AND NOT COME OFF. It will turn the patch white and it won't be pretty, trust me it happened to me. Also if you intend on taking any pictures with flash... Well, don't. It has terrible flashback. Anywhere you put it it will show up. It looks great in person and it feels soft when it's on but on camera it's awful.Reviewed by 875 customersCan't live without5Nellie from MinnesotaI started buying this product a few years ago and can't live without! Makes a huge difference in the look of my skin. Makes my makeup go on so much better and stay on longer throughout the day. I have tried the other powders and this is always my go-to!ONLY FOR UNDER EYES4roseza from vaFor me personally it's looks good under the eyes. Unlike usual powder I don't put this all over my t zone. I just press some onto my under eyes and wipe the excess. Even after 9 hours it's smooth and matte.I like this for the most part4Skibblezing from USAThis finishing powder has one of the silkiest textures of any I've used. Disclaimer: I am pale AF and don't experience issues with flashbackI love this product and will continue to use it5Teresa from Davis OklahomaI use this product after applying my foundation. It works great. I love the way it makes my face look and feelNope3Andi from FloridaWay too chalky looking! Had to return.Don't Do it1Pg from Las VegasSerious flashback. It honestly messed up my foundation…Didn't look or feel good. Very sad bc I like Tarte. :/Love love love this!!!!5Brandy from North CarolinaI absolutely love this!!!!! I have extremely oily skin and nothing has stayed on my face for the whole day, ever, in my whole lifetime. I thought that's just the way it was and I'd never find anything to stay on my face. Until I bought this. I love it, it's long lasting and helps with drying out my face. I love tarte products anyways but they have truly went for the best with this one. If you are like me and have extremely oily skin then this is for you! Sometimes I don't even use nothing but the powder and it still stays on my face! Without foundation! I just love it!I would hesitate to buy this if you're tan complected.2Marley from LouisianaI'm a makeup artist and I've used this many times but on my more tan girls the flashback is terrible. Looks like they have baby powder under their eyes with a flash but can't be seen in normal lighting. I will definitely be taking this out of my makeup kit.Over 405Moon from NYI've been using this oh forever. You don't need a lot and blends in well and sets my foundation perfectly without drying out my skin.I just keep coming back.5Yoyo from USAPeriodically I try something new for a setting powder. Ultimately I just keep coming back to this powder. It doesn't cause creasing which is especially what I need around my eyes. I've used this powder for probably 10 years. When I was younger I had very oily skin and this worked perfectly. Now that I'm in my 30s my skin has drastically changed, I'm pretty dry and have more wrinkles. This powder still works! Now, I use it sparingly in my t zone, just a little under each eye and around my nose. A small amount now goes a long way, it's not over drying and just looks beautiful.Love Tarte but not this..1Carissa from Pinehurst, NCI usually love Tarte products but this finishing powder just isn't it. I got this last year when I was still learning more about doing my makeup and wanted to get a powder so I wouldn't look oily. This powder doesn't leave a smooth finish and it leaves the area looking a bit white and not smooth at all. Simply, I wouldn't recommend this product.I do buy this product again and again!5Erin C from RosevilleI love it - have been using it for almost as long as I've been using Tarte primer and tinted moisturizer.flashback1aliyah from arizonaHORRENDOUS FLASHBACK !!!BUY THIS!5AmyToo from NORTH DAKOTAThis is the most amazing setting powder I've ever purchased. It's so intensely fine and just a tiny amount goes a long way and sets right into my skin so smoothly in a way I never experienced with the KVD powder I used previously. I absolutely love it. The only con I would mention is the packaging. There are so many holes for the powder to go thru that the top part fills up with it and goes everywhere. They should reduce the little holes to like three. Then it would be perfect.A Must Have Staple Product!5Jacquie from Dallas, TXI typically use this product after I apply foundation. It takes away any oily look and allows you to have a good base if you choose to apply powder on top. I use this almost everyday.One of makeup bag staples5kwlkr76 from WII use it as a finishing powder.Love this product!5DJ from TexasThis leaves a flawless finish and hides my large pores.Looks finished but not powdery5Florida Girl from Central FloridaI always shied away from powder because I thought it would make look older or too "made up." I live in Florida though where the heat and humidity are hard on makeup. This was the perfect solution. It's so sheer and light that it's perfect for any skin tone.Powder Me!4AspireAmanda from OrangeThe tarte smooth operator Amazonian clay finishing powder gives your face a real filter, face-tuned, airbrushed look. It amazes me every time I apply this powder to my skin. No matter the amount of texture I have for the day showing through my initial foundation application, this finely milled finishing powder comes to the rescue providing a velvety smoothness to my skin.Do avoid applying this product under your eyes because it will darken your concealer immediately. I'd recommend to apply this before powder bronzer and blush, as it allows additional powder products to layer seemlessly. I'd recommend this product to anyone who has yet to try a finishing powder! 4.5 out of 5 stars due to the small lack of versatility not being able to use this under your eyes.Amazing!5Megan C. from Boonton, NJI use this to set my under eyes, and I absolutely love it. It blurs my under eyes, and smooths out my pores. Definitely recommend.Amazing5Stacey from TexasRecommended to me by a friend and it seriously is the BEST setting powder!!Never disappoints5Ambrosia from KansasA very smooth powder that doesn't alter the look of your already applied makeupFavorite setting powder5CV from MOI LOVE the feel of this on my skin, and how it keeps my mascara from transferring.. all day even on the hottest days. My makeup looks flawless and feels so smooth. To everyone complaining about flashback, I apply a thin layer of bronzer over the top of this and that works wonders.nice touch, horrible flashback2Britney from San Jose, CAI used to use drug-store loose powders for baking but wanted to try something new. I was recommend this product by an Ulta employee and was told that it leaves a very smooth and soft texture on the face. After testing it on the back of my hand I was really excited to try it! I used it for baking my face underneath my eyes and my smile lines on the face. It blended so well into my skin and felt so nice BUT as soon as I checked for flashback, it was like I used white out under my eyes, not matter how hard I tried to blend my foundation, my concealer, applying the powder, or switching up my routine here and there, the flashback wouldn't go away.Takes shine away5Trndsstr from MinneapolisThis powder is perfect for post foundation or without for a matte finish. Light and soft on the face.
