  • • Budget shoppers who want a glowy, soft-focus base
  • • Dry or dull skin that wants radiance under or over makeup
  • • Anyone who wants to try the liquid-filter look before spending more
  • • Covering dark circles and blemishes with full coverage
  • • Oily and combination skin that wants a matte, long-wear concealer
  • • Deeper skin tones looking for a close concealer match
Strengths
  • Very low price for a glow booster often compared with Charlotte Tilbury
  • Four ways to wear: alone, under makeup, mixed in or as highlighter
  • 15 shades covering fair to rich skin
  • Full, brightening coverage for dark circles, redness and blemishes
  • 48 shades, including a wide run of deep and rich options
  • 0.33 fl oz tube holds more than most prestige concealers
Watch-outs
  • Brand recommends extra primer and powder on oily skin to keep the glow from reading as shine

  • Some Reddit users report heavy creasing or a look that sits on top of the skin
  • Matte formula targets oily and combination skin; Tarte steers dry skin to Shape Tape Creamy
