- Q
The powder will not come off of the pan. It's like it's as hard as a rock. What do I do? I tried scraping of the top layer but no luck. I've used 3 different types of brushes. It's still hard pan. It's brand new, do you have any advice?
- Asked by Powderpuff
- Verified Reply - Brand ExpertWe're sorry you're having that problem! We recommend using a fluffy brush to rub off the top layer. Then, it becomes very powdery!Was this answer helpful to you

Above the rest!
I love how well this product works to set my foundation. It doesn't crease when I use to set my under eye area which is a HUGE plus for me. I also love that it comes in a convenient compact so I can take it everywhere with me (which I do) to do touch ups throughout the day. I also completely love th...

Not as Great As I'd Hoped
I have super oily skin and only get hormonal breakouts on my chin twice a month; during ovulation and during menstruation. I bought this product to manage my oily skin better when I'm out and about. I usually use those oil blotting sheets, but they do remove makeup, so I thought I'd give some presse...

I love the subtle shimmer. This is a truly translucent powder that doesn't give off a ghosty complexion
Broke Almost Immediately
I only had this product for a month before it literally shattered on me. Definitely not repurchasing, just going to grab loose powdered products for a finish from now on.
Cracks very easily and no fill
I like that this is a translucent, natural powder. I use it to set my foundation and to mattify throughout the day and it works pretty well. The problem is that the pan can fall out of the compact very easily (it doesn't lock in--it just sits in the compact) and the powder cracks easily so you lose a lot of product. For a product at this price point the pan should lock in. Plus why wouldn't Tarte make a refill?
My favorite Tarte product
I've used this for years. I like how smooth it is, sets my makeup nicely; and lasts as long as I need it too.
Love it!

I have oily skin with a pink undertones. I use this to even out my skin tone and reduce shine on days that I don't use a liquid foundation. When I use a liquid foundation, then I use this to set my make up for all day wear.
