As you can tell from the title, we are going to talk about the well loved, very famous, Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer. Do you have the heart to let go of Tarte Shape Tape Concealer and try a new product that is half the price cheaper?
Well, no pressure. I bet some of us will forever love Tarte Shape Tape for all occasions.
For those of you who love Tarte Shape Tape, then keep on reading.
Tarte Shape Tape has been in the market for the longest time and it has finally touch down in Singapore Sephora. Everybody who has been tempted to get it from their official website can stop crying because now, whenever Sephora have sale, Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer too goes on sale! You must be wondering why I said that, right? Well, do you know Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer has never been included in sale from their own official website even when the whole store brand is on sale? Yeah, that's how exclusive Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer is until only recently.
This concealer retails at $42 SGD in Sephora and it holds 10ml of product. The packaging looks pretty. It comes in a plastic bottle with a metal top. It has 28 shades in Sephora while it has 30 shades on their official website. It seems like the shade range is pretty good. It definitely have shades for all skin tone. It is vegan and cruelty free.
It promises to:
1. Give full coverage with flawless matte finish.
2. Conceals all inperfection from pimples to acne marks.
3. Can be use to contour and highlight.
4. Creamy and easy to blend.
5. Pack with Mango seed and Shea butters.
6. Brightens skin with lifted effect.
I would have to agree to all for this case. When it comes to consistency, this concealer is a thick creamy product. It does give you that full coverage but for dry skin, or people with dry undereyes, I would suggest you go easy on it as it might be too drying for you.It doesn't feel too drying for me, so I can use this concealer without eye serum. It also have that green tea extract smell similar to Huda Beauty Overachiever Concealer smell but Huda Beauty's concealer have a stronger smell. Just so you know, there is no Green Tea listed in the ingredient.
This concealer definitely brightens my undereyes. It consist of licorice root extract that colour corrects and at the same time, it brightens the areas you put this concealer on. So it would be best to use this concealer for highlighting your undereyes.*
Below I will show you how this concealer looks on my face throughout the whole day.
This is how it looks like after an hour of application. So far, so good.
No creasing.
This is after 6 hours of application.
You can see how my dark undereyes are begging to peep through a little.
Not that bad.

After 10 hours of application, this is how the concealer looks like. I would say it still looks pretty decent. The coverage is still covering my dark undereyes. So I have no complain.
This is after 12 hours of application. From this picture, you can see the slight ashiness of the concealer but I guess the picture doesn't capture it like I wish it would.
*Tips!! How to cancel out having concealer that looks a bit ashy? I would suggest using a warm undertone concealer and then going in with a lighter shade. If you are more on the cool undertone, then use that undertone to neutralize the darkness, before going in with a lighter shade to highlight. It works for me everytime. Thus, ashiness is never an issue for me.
My Verdict on Tarte Shape Tape Concealer.
On days where I feel that my undereyes is drying, use an eye serum. Other than that, this concealer sit so perfectly and I enjoyed wearing it a lot. It is totally a long lasting concealer. It won't budge even if you sweat like nobody's business. This i kid you not. With Singapore's humidity, you're bound to be sweaty and sticky within a few minutes out the door. Not to mention having your perfect makeup to melt off your face, making your make up looking patchy. But with this concealer, you don't have to worry because it last a long time. This concealer is not a self-setting concealer, thus, I still need set my undereyes with setting powder. Other than that, I'm just a little bothered with the smell. For those who knows me, I'm never a fan of green tea, at all. So the scent is a bit of a turn off for me but for that kind of quality and coverage, I ain't complaining😁
With that, I shall end here.
I look forward to having you read the part 2. 💖
