FIRST LOOK | TARTE SHAPE TAPE HYDRATING AND MATTE FOUNDATIONS SWATCHES AND RELEASE DATES (UK)

Tarte Shape Tape Hydrating Foundation All 15 swatches

 I don't want to beat around the bush because this has been BIG news over the last few days. As you most likely all know Tarte Cosmetics have expanded their ever popular Shape Tape range, consisting of their freakishly high in demand Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer (review here) allegedly one of these is sold every twenty seconds, to two brand new foundations. There is the Hydrating Formula, allegedly better applied with their new sponge, and the Matte Formula, allegedly better applied with their new paddle brush. Although everyone has been clamouring for a Shape Tape foundation, the masses have been less than impressed by the limited shade range of 15 that features only two deep/dark shades in both formulas. Tarte is known for adding shades further down the line but most agree with their gargantuan budget there just is no excuse. 

Tarte Shape Tape Matte Foundation All 15 Swatches

Both the Hydrating and the Matte Foundations offer good coverage coverage, the Matte is of course intended for those of us with oily skin, acne scars and blemishes. The Hydrating Shape Tape Foundation is geared towards those with dry skin but still promises medium to full coverage and is reported as being dewy and luminous without being greasy, according to PopSugar whose swatches are pictured above. Both formulas appear easy to blend. The foundations will be available from January 15th on tarte.com, 21st January on ulta.com and February 4th in Ulta stores. For my UK pretties, you can expect the Shape Tape Foundation to land exclusively on the QVC UK website (hopefully in a good deal with that paddle brush or sponge) this March 2018.

Thank you so much for reading, I would love to hear your thoughts on there being a Shape Tape foundation. Which formula are you most interested in? What do you think of the swatches and shade range? Do you think they should have waited and released a more respectable amount of shades? I have wanted a Shape Tape foundation forever and I am keen to try the Matte one, if I am being honest I have never really gotten on with Tarte foundation shades. It seems to me even though they have a tonne of beige shades, which should be appropriate for me, all of them are slightly off the mark. Disappointing. Follow me on social media and Bloglovin' and come back soon. Take care. 

What are your thoughts on the new Tarte Shape Tape Foundations?
