Corrine StokoeIf you've been reading this blog for a while, you know that tarte is one of my go-to makeup brands. And not only that, but tarte's shape tape concealer is my ride or die for life! Did you know that a shape tape is sold every 12 seconds worldwide? And not only that, but tarte is America's #1 concealer brand. Basically, the shape tape phenomenon paved the way for tons of other amazing products I promise you'll want to get your hands on!
Half off DEAL
Let's get you these deal details before this stuff sells out!
Right now you can get the Shape Tape concealer or the Ultra Creamy Shape Tape for 50% OFF! $16 (reg $32), so this is truly HALF OFF what you'd pay if you bought this any other day. Such a HOT deal that almost never comes around!!
Shape tape crash course
So WHAT IS SHAPE TAPE? It's only the best, most popular, full-coverage concealer of all time. It's the makeup artist favorite that gives me the look of getting 12 hours sleep when I only got 4!
shape tape consistently gets the BEST reviews because the formula really is unlike any other. It offers amazing 18-hour coverage but doesn't crease or smudge throughout the day. It also smooths the appearance of fine lines AND includes both shea and mango butter to help with hydration and elasticity. Plus you know tarte is always formulated without parabens or mineral oil or any of the yucky stuff we don't want on our skin!
I love using it under my eyes, but I also utilize it on little blemishes or areas with redness (hello under my nose!). Try tapping it on a trouble area and leaving it unblended for a few minutes. When you buff it in with this blending sponge, your blemishes will literally disappear and stay away all day! I also love getting extras to keep in my purse for a quick touch up (did you know you can use it for foundation in a pinch?!)
Since shape tape concealer has been so outrageously popular, tarte created a couple sister products that you can use all together or separately for amazing results!
Ultra creamy concealer
This is tarte's newest concealer and LET ME TELL YOU: it's simply amazing. People with drier or more mature skin sometimes express concerns that the full-coverage, OG shape tape can dry out their skin or crease. But the coverage is unmatched, so tarte came out with a marriage of a moisture-rich concealer and killer coverage that shape tape is known for!
The ultra creamy concealer has a BUILT IN EYE CREAM. This is brilliant!! One-step coverage and protection including antioxidants and hyaluronic acid! The skin care aspect of the concealer promotes elasticity and firmness while the full coverage formula covers any imperfections or dark circles. It's suuuuper creamy, provides 24 hour hydration, and is waterproof! Basically everything you could ever want in a concealer.
Picking your shade
Another bonus from tarte is that there are 48 (!!) shades to choose from in the shape tape line! Be sure to use the “find your shade” helper because it really works! I was using a different color of shape tape foundation before I used this match-finder on their site and, lo and behold, their recommendation was WAY better than the one I chose for myself!
The shades also go across the board, so you can order the same colors in the shape tape concealer (which I'm wearing in these photos!) Fool. Proof. I used to use medium before utilizing this “find your perfect shade” tool but after trying that out, I realized I actually needed 34S (medium sand) in both the face tape and shape tape. I already liked it before, but matching my skin tone perfectly made me love their products even MORE.
Perfect application
I am a total convert to tarte cosmetics sponges. I have tried allllll the makeup sponges, and let me tell you: tarte's are hands-down the best!!! There is a flat side and a curved side (which is genius) and they are amazing quality so they LAST!! Best.blender.ever.
Whether you're using the original shape tape, the new ultra creamy concealer, this blending sponge will give you that airbrushed look every time!
I mentioned this in my stories: I don't know why but their products just work better with THEIR sponges. They just DO. No idea why, but, they do.
Why I shape tape + the hot deal
I thought it was so cool to learn that after a makeup study, 100% of the participants said that shape tape doesn't crease, doesn't look cakey, and covers dark circles. 97% said it blurs and smooths fine lines and wrinkles! I wholeheartedly agree, and those numbers just don't lie.
This stuff is the real deal, and if you've loved your shape tape, you will DIE over the ultra creamy concealer!
Don't forget right now you can get the Shape Tape concealer or the Ultra Creamy Shape Tape for 50% OFF!
