TARTE RAINFOREST OF THE SEE FOUNDATION REVIEW

Thursday, April 7, 2016

Hi dolls!:) I hope you are all having a fabulous week! Many of you may have heard of the new launch by Tarte Cosmetics called Rainforest of the Sea. I went in about two weeks ago to Sephora and purchased their foundation and couldn't wait to try it out for myself. Today I will be doing a review on this product and how it works with my skin.



A little background on my skin. I have olive undertones and some discoloration, freckles, and redness. My skin is combination, which means my forehead and nose get pretty oily, but the rest of the skin is pretty normal. I have sort of sensitive skin, which means some products do break me out or can give me some funny texture and little bumps/milia,

REVIEW:
I applied my foundation around 6:00 am before heading to work. No primer was used. Here are the products I used:

-Tarte Rainforest of the Sea foundation in shade "Medium Honey"
-Sigma F80 "Flat Top Kabuki Brush"
 

10 hours after wearing foundation:
I came back home around 4:00 pm that evening and took some pictures of the foundation. I did notice some wearing off of the foundation around my undereyes and nose area. The coverage wasn't the same but It had been 10 hours already.

MY THOUGHTS:

Pros-
This is a beautiful foundation. The coverage is nice and buildable. I'm able to apply a heavier layer on the ares that need more coverage. The finish is matte, but on my skin it looks more satin. The packaging is adorable and sophisticated as it comes in a matte-glass bottle. I was so happy that this product didn't make me break out. I didn't get any strange texture or bumps. It's a beautiful, average-lasting formula.

Cons-
The only con to this would be the applicator. I often have moisturizer on my hands from applying my face creams, so when I tried to squeeze the button to get the product from the dropper it seemed to slip off the fingers making it a little hard to use. If you are going for a very long lasting foundation, this one may not last as long as you'd like. But it will make a very nice foundation for the summer time as many of us don't like too much crazy coverage.

Have you beauties tried out any products from the new Tarte Rainforest of the Sea? Comment below!:)
