The Make-up Junkie: Review: Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Foundation

Hey Dolls!

Welcome back to the Makeup Junkie! Today's post is going to be a review on the Tarte Amazonian Clay Full Coverage Foundation. Let's jump straight into today's post!

Let's begin with product claims, price, availability, etc.

Tarte says, "Get 12 hours of flawless coverage with this long-wearing, skin-perfecting formula with UVA/UVB SPF 15. It's full-coverage and supremely blendable and buildable formula has a weightless texture and is available in a broad range of shades. Everyone can achieve skin that looks healthy and natural."

They claim the foundation is:

Oil-free
Long Lasting
12 Hour Wear
Adjusts depending on skin type and skin concerns
Full Coverage
Blendable
Buildable
Free of Parabens
Free of Sulfates
Free of Phthalates

This Foundation Comes in 23 shades; I use the shade Deep Honey.

This price listed on Sephora.com is, $39.00 USD.

This product comes in a brown squeeze tube w/ a wooden top.

There is 1.7 Fluid Ounce of product in the container.

The ingredients: Water, Cyclopentasiloxane, Octyldodecyl Neopentanoate Butylene Glycol, Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone, Mica, Dimethicone, Silica, Phenoxyethanol, Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone, Stearic Acid, Aluminum Hydroxide, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Caprylyl Glycol, Phytantriol, Hexyl Laurate, Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Sodium Chloride, Hexylene Glycol, Lysine, Tocopherol, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Nylon-12 Fluorescent Brightener 230 Salt, Polyvinylalcohol Crosspolymer, Kaolin, Magnesium Chloride, Potassium Chloride, Zinc Chloride, Sodium Hyaluronate, Potassium Sorbate, Iron Oxides.

Moving onto the Pros:

Long Lasting
Matte Finish
Light Weight
Buildable
Good Color Selection

Up next the Cons:

Sets Quickly; makes it hard to blend
Price
Can appear chalky if you use too many mattifying products or have dry patches

How many thumbs up?

I would say 1 1/2 thumbs up...

Final Thoughts?

This is an decent foundation for people with oily or combo skin. It works well for me because I am really oily. However, if you have dry, normal, or aging skin this may exaggerate dry patches, wrinkles, or other blemishes. When I am breaking out this seems to make the blemish more noticeable. I have also found that, if you aren't careful this can look chalky. It is buildable, but it dries fast. I suggest working in sections to avoid chalky build up. I assume it becomes chalky because of the Amazonian Clay. Which is kind of a double edged sword; on one hand, this clay absorbs oils and leaves a shine-free finish to the skin on the other it can look chalky or thick.

Would I repurchase it?

Maybe.

That's all Folks!
