Tarte Cosmetics Shape Tape Radiant Medium Coverage Concealer - 35N Medium

For my oily skin girlies, this concealer did not provide any coverage for me. I bought it because I had ran out of the original purple top shape tape fight beforen an event and this is all they had at my Ulta in my shade. It was hard to blend, and I tried both a brush and a beauty blender. Once I thought I had blended it out, I topped it off with translucent powder to set/bake and that's when all the patches came out! let's just say I had a mental breakdown for five minutes and then just ended up taking it off and using good old, reliable NYX. For an expensive concealer. I do not recommend this version because the NYX one gave me far better coverage and that one is only like $10. If you do have oily skin, I recommend the original formula!

I have spent all kinds of money chasing the best concealer since I started seeing wrinkles in my late 30s. I don't have the worst wrinkles but enough that balancing the right concealer, powder, and most importantly, concealer shade, has been a struggle. I don't experience issues with glitter, which I'm very picky about, I wonder if it's because at my age I look better when trying to match my skintone rather than going several shades lighter? If you go too light maybe glitter is more noticeable? Not sure, but it's a non-issue for me, it can be more difficult matching concealer tho, even though I'm very fair (About Face F2Olive is my closest match), I took a chance on 22N because in the Ultra Creamy concealer 16N is too light. I thought, if anything, I'd mix both, but ... MoreI have spent all kinds of money chasing the best concealer since I started seeing wrinkles in my late 30s.

I don't have issues with most other concealers on the rest of the face, and have a huge stash already, so that's not a problem for me. If this Radiant concealer remains my holy grail I'll probably just continue getting Catrice's concealer for the face.

I really liked this concealer. I’ve tried all the shape tape concealers and I find the original to be a bit too drying. I love the creamy concealer, so I use that one daily. When this arrived, I did one eye with the creamy concealer and the other eye with the radiant concealer. I got the same amount of coverage on both. I used a concealer brush to apply both and set both with powder. Both concealers wore the same throughout the day. The radiant concealer is a much lighter consistency, so I think if applied with the sponge applicator, you may not get the desired coverage. If you want a lightweight concealer that doesn’t sit in fine lines and stays place all day, as long as you apply with a brush and set with powder, you’ll likely like this product.
