Tarte Cosmetics: Makeup, Skincare & Beauty Products
Whether you prefer liquid concealers, swipe-on sticks, or creams that can be patted into place with your fingers, a brush, or a makeup sponge, tarte has you covered.
A long-wear, waterproof formula with buildable coverage in a convenient stick makes this concealer a versatile, travel-friendly option.
A full-coverage concealer with skin-nourishing ingredients that has earned a loyal fan base. Many repeat users say it’s the best concealer they’ve ever used.
This tarte concealer has a dewy finish, but it’s not ideal for oily or mature skin. It also may take some trial and error to find your shade match.
If you only need a concealer to hide discoloration under your eyes, this one is worth a look. However, it’s not as versatile as others on our shortlist.
Tarte lovers who don’t need a full-coverage concealer will appreciate this product’s light coverage that is easy to blend and feels nice on the skin.
What to Look For in a Tarte Product
Part of what makes Tarte Tarte is the natural ingredient usage across products. Tarte products are formulated with a blend of naturally derived and other ingredients designed to perform. The natural ingredients include Amazonian clay, maracuja, and prickly pear. The products also offer vegan-friendly options and are always formulated without parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, triclosan, sodium laurly sulfate, and gluten.
Each Tarte product is designed with day-to-night glam options in mind. With buildable formulas and coverage, Tarte products give you the luxury of traveling with one palette that covers your desire for a no-makeup-makeup-look and for the black-tie luxe glam.
Tarte’s makeup will help you achieve your glam goals, but not at the expense of your skin. Take their foundations, for example, which are formulated to give your skin the “blur” effect but also hydrate, reduce inflammation, brighten, firm and help protect against free-radicals. Tarte also produces a skincare line, which is specifically formulated to wear and pair with their makeup, should you want to stick to one brand from the start of your skincare routine to the end of your makeup application.

So you’ve purchased a Tarte palette, like the 20-piece eyeshadow kit. What is the best way to apply evenly? With a powder formula, a brush will likely be your best bet, as they are specifically designed to blend. Unlike most things in life, more is more when blending with a brush, and you’ll want to keep doing so until you achieve your smooth and diffused “perfect blend”—which can only be defined by person preference. MUA Ashley Rebecca recommends circular motions, and building the coverage as you go.
