Tarte Releases New Shape Tape Foundation
Tarte Cosmetics released a match-made in heaven to its coveted Shape Tape Concealer, which reached cult status shortly after it was launched last year. The new tarte Shape Tape Foundation is available today (1-15-18) on tarte.com (available soon at Ulta in store and online).
New additions to the Shape Tape Family include Tarte Shape Tape Foundation ($39) which comes 15 different shades, in both Matte and Hydrating finishes.
In addition, tarte released a Shape Tape 12 Hour Primer Stick ($21) plus a foundation paddle brush ($28) and blending sponge ($18).
I will definitely have to try both the matte and hydrating foundations. I may find I need the hydrating formula during the winter and matte during the summer. I will update this post as soon as I try both.
