tarte Amazonian Clay Stick Foundation / tarte Clay Stick Foundation Review

tarte Amazonian Clay Stick Foundation

Launching on May 21st at tartecosmetics.com is the tarte Amazonian Clay Stick Foundation! This is one of the extensions to their Amazonian Clay line, there is also a new palette on the way. This foundation will retail for $39 USD and includes 9g of product which is about average for a stick foundation. See it in action on my YouTube Channel in my tarte Clay Stick Foundation Review/Wear Test. 

tarte Smoothie Blender Foundation Brush

Also launching with the foundation is the tarte Smoothie Blender Foundation Brush, this will retail for $28 USD. It has a great dense, angled top but it is still quite soft. Good for both this stick foundation and liquid! 

tarte Stick Foundation Swatches Fair Beige, Fair Neutral, Fair-Light Neutral, Light Beige, Light-Medium Neutral, Medium Beige

tarte Stick Foundation Swatches Medium Sand, Medium Neutral, Tan Sand, Tan-Deep Honey, Deep Honey, Rich Honey

It comes in 12 different shades, I anticipate tarte will extend the range as they've done with their other products. 

Foundation claims: 
- 12 hour wear 
- matte 
- full, creamy coverage 
- buildable 
- Amazonian clay is skin balancing that hydrates/mattifies 

This foundation is brand new to me so I can only give you my first impression. So far so good! I think that it held up nicely on my super oily skin, I still got oily but it did not break apart or feel too greasy. Once I blotted I was good to go.

I don't feel like it is full coverage, it's definitely buildable but it would just take too many layers for me to get to full. That's fine with me, I like a light/medium coverage anyways. It did not oxidize on my skin, or enhance pores - that being said if you have texture a smoothing primer is always an option. 

Overall, I really like this foundation! If you have oily, combo or normal skin it's something to consider trying.
