tarte Face Tape Foundation full-coverage foundation — 22B Natural Matte, hydrating long-wear, transfer- and waterproof

tarte Face Tape Foundation is a full-coverage, hydrating, natural-matte foundation that blurs pores and stays put—waterproof, sweatproof, and transfer-proof for long-lasting wear.

This foundation combines high-coverage performance with a comfortable, skin-nourishing formula. Using tarte's "tape" technology, it minimizes visible texture, conceals redness and dark spots, and delivers a soft matte finish that doesn’t look flat or dry. The vegan, cruelty-free formula is free of parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, triclosan, SLS and gluten, and includes skin-supporting ingredients like snow mushroom, apple fruit extract, and hyaluronic acid for hydration and a smoother-looking complexion.

How does the formula give full coverage without feeling heavy?

The texture is engineered to deliver opaque coverage while remaining lightweight and breathable on skin. Silky binders and hydrating actives help the product spread smoothly and set to a natural matte that doesn’t cake.

• Full-coverage pigments that blur redness, spots, and blemishes
• Nourishing humectants like hyaluronic acid for comfortable wear
• Finish balances oil control and natural skin luminosity

Will it really resist transfer, sweat, and water during a long day?

Yes—this foundation is formulated for extended wear and tested to resist transfer, water, and sweat. Clinical and consumer testing indicate sustained performance across typical daily activities, keeping coverage intact.

• Longwear formula clinically shown to last up to 12 hours
• Transfer-proof and waterproof properties for confidence in humid or active conditions
• Dermatologist-tested and designed for comfortable all-day use

How does the "tape" technology affect skin texture and pores?

"Tape" technology is designed to visually smooth and blur skin surface irregularities. It helps reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, fine lines, and uneven texture so foundation looks flawless close up and in photos.

• Formulation minimizes the look of pores and fine lines for a refined surface
• Light-diffusing pigments and blurring agents soften imperfections
• Clinical results showed high rates of users seeing smoother, more even skin

What skin benefits do the active ingredients provide?

Beyond coverage, the formula includes targeted skin-supporting ingredients to hydrate and brighten. These actives work to help skin appear more supple and healthy while you wear your makeup.

• Snow mushroom: hydration and a smoothing effect that supports brightness
• Apple fruit extract: antioxidants contribute to a refreshed, even-looking tone
• Hyaluronic acid: draws and retains moisture for firmer-looking skin

Who is this for: tarte Face Tape Foundation suits anyone seeking maximum coverage without the heavy feel—ideal for people who want a natural matte look that hides redness, discoloration, and texture while staying put through long days, workouts, or humid weather. It’s formulated for those who prefer vegan, cruelty-free cosmetics and want a foundation free from common irritants and unnecessary additives.
