REVIEW: tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Foundation



I purchased this foundation for $38 from Beauty.com last month. I absolutely love the Amazonian Clay blushes so I had high hopes for the 12 Hour Foundation. I'm saddened to say that this foundation didn't live up to my expectations. The texture is extremely thick, it reminds me of whipped frosting. I tried a number of different application methods, I used my hands, a Sigma Kabuki brush (wet/dry), a beauty blender, the tarte kabuki brush (wet/dry). I also tried it with and without primer. The results were the same despite my efforts, heavy and cakey. I just could not get this foundation to look natural, or even close to natural. 

I will say that I do actually like the tarte Airbush Finish Bamboo Foundation Brush, it's very dense and leaves a great finish when I pair it with my other liquid foundations.


If you're in the market for a full coverage foundation I strongly recommend Make Up For Ever's MAT Velvet +. It's my go to for full coverage  - it will be a while before I stray again!
