tarte Face Tape Full-Coverage Foundation — 12N Natural Matte, Waterproof Long-Wear

tarte face tape foundation is a full-coverage, waterproof, transfer-resistant foundation that blurs texture and delivers a natural matte finish without feeling heavy.

This foundation is formulated to cover redness, dark spots, and blemishes while smoothing the look of pores, fine lines, and uneven texture. Lightweight yet buildable, it uses a unique "tape" technology to create a softened, airbrushed appearance and stays put through sweat and daily activity. The formula is vegan and cruelty-free and avoids parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate, and gluten.
