Angie's honest notes

To be honest, I do not wear much foundation. This is the one I reach for on special occasions.

It feels light. It does not feel heavy or cakey on my skin, and it does not crack on me.

Great coverage without smothering my skin. It covers really well, and my skin never feels suffocated under it. I apply it with a brush, and a small amount is enough.

The matte finish is perfect. It leaves a flawless matte finish, and that is why I like it so much.

It lasts, and I trust it. It holds up for a long time. You can count on it: it will not let you down or leave you embarrassed halfway through the day.

The travel size lasts me a long time. Mine is the travel size, and because I only need a little, it lasts a very long time. If you want a bigger bottle, the full size is on Amazon too.

Good to know. tarte says it lasts 12 hours and is waterproof. Mine is 16N fair-light neutral. This link opens my shade in the travel size, and the other shades, the full size and everything else are on the same Amazon page.
