Review: Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Full Coverage Foundation

Hi, Beauties!

I hope everyone is doing well. Today's post is a review of the Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation. Although this product has been around for a while now, I've only just managed to get my hands on it. Tarte is a brand I'm sure many of us have heard of before however, I have never tried any of their products before the foundation, which is a shame because I've always heard great things.

As I've mentioned before, I have oily/combination skin so I've always had a love/hate relationship with foundations, especially liquid ones. I was intrigued to try this foundation because of its unusual consistency and oil-free formula. Like all Tarte products, this foundation is suitable for vegans and also contains Vitamin A, which acts as a protector against free-radical damage and Vitamin E which acts as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. The other bonus is you get 50ml of product. Most foundations contain 30ml/g of product, so it's definitely value for money.


The foundation comes in a variety of shades, so you should have no problem finding an ideal match for your skin tone. I opted for the shade 'light-medium honey' as I've been tanning a lot recently and I always like my face to look slightly darker than my natural skin colour.

The consistency is very creamy but blends like an absolute dream. It definitely does what it says on the tin too; It is full coverage so it will hide any blemishes or hyperpigmentation on the face. Once blended, it feels very light-weight like there is nothing on the skin which I particularly like. I didn't put the foundation to its full test, as I only had my make-up on for approximately 8 hours. However, it stayed on all day and my skin still looked flawless at the end with only minor wearing around the bridge of my nose.




I bought the foundation through QVC and bought it as part of a bundle with the Tarte the buffer™airbrush finish bamboo foundation brush. I highly recommend application with this as it gives you a flawless finish and also spreads the product evenly across the face - a little goes along way with this brush! If you're interested in getting both products, purchase the bundle here which costs £35.00 + £3.95 P&P. You can also purchase them separately through the Tarte website. The foundation is £30 and the brush is £27, so you're getting a great deal by buying the two together.


Until next time my beauties,

With Love
