Tarte BB Tinted Treatment 12-hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen


So what exactly is this? A primer,  BB cream, Tinted Moisturizer, light foundation or what? Well it is all of that and more. It is a long-wearing, oil free, tinted-moisturizer with primer, a light foundation that has a proprietary blend of natural diamond powder, plants, lipoamino acids that diffuses light and minimizes the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and pores while improving the appearance of skin luminosity like a BB cream.

It is a Broad-spectrum, chemical-free SPF 30 offers ideal protection from the sun's harmful UVA/UVB rays. Not forgetting that Tarte is Cruelty Free and their products are formulated without :

  • Parabens
  • Mineral Oil
  • Phthalates
  • Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
  • Synthetic Fragrance, ETC...

Tarte: BB Tinted Treatment 12-hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen - Light (SGD $54) can actually be use on its own as a foundation, it provides a medium buildable coverage, even outs the skin tone, disguises the pores and increases the overall wear time of makeup applied over it. The texture feels silky and velvety smooth like a light-weight mousse serum . 

I love this hybrid primer but how I wish they could add a little bit extra like making it water or sweat proof, it will be the perfect holy grail primer for the humid weather of Singapore. Besides that it is just way over-priced and there is only 4 colours to choose from. 

It is a fairly easy product to apply to the face, just use your fingers they will blend in really nicely. (Comparing to my Rachel K CC cream which I use as a primer.)

Overall it is a good primer, for my skin type: oily combination I still have to use Urban Decay's De-Slick setting spray even with any other primer on my extremely oily T-Zone. Other then that I would love it more if it wasn't for the price.

An interesting product! Tried it yet? Do share!
I would love to hear your thoughts!
