Tarte 9 Ways to Shine Cheek Wardrobe Review & Swatches

Christine — Tue, 08 Oct 2019 14:00:00 +0000

9 Ways to Shine

Tarte 9 Ways to Shine Cheek Wardrobe ($35.00 for 0.69 oz.) is a new, limited edition set of stacked cheek colors. Each stack contains three shades–technically, a highlighter, blush, and bronzer–with a flip-top mirror and swiveling compacts underneath the first shade. There are three stacks included in the set, which I love seeing in a holiday set as it would be easy to gift any of the stacks to a friend or family member (either as a gift or because it doesn’t work for you).

The packaging was more substantial than I expected–I felt like it was nicer than Tarte’s regular packaging by feel and weight. The set contains $100.05 worth of product (going off of the full-sized blushes at $29.00 and containing 0.20 oz. of product).

Tarte’s cheek colors all come with a 12-hour wear time claim, which is where they tend to fall short, though they are longer-wearing at around nine hours of really solid wear. Some of the more matte blush hues are on the thinner side, which I find can be harder to apply over bare skin because they react with any natural oils/slip on my skin and can darken/adhere strongly, so blending is made more difficult. I find I can alleviate the blendability issue by applying over powdered skin (whether bare skin or with foundation).

There was one major dud in the set–Peppermint Mocha–and the highlighters were nice (creamy, pigmented, and blendable without any tricks). Aside from Peppermint Mocha, the blushes were in-line with past experiences with the Amazonian Clay blush formula, so if you’re normally a fan, this set is a great one to think about.

Frosty

Frosty is a light gold with strong, warm undertones and a frosted, metallic finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation with a smooth, lightly creamy texture that was a bit denser and firmer. The product picked up well with a highlighting brush and applied and blended out with ease. It stayed on nicely for nine hours on me before fading visibly.

Slay Bells

Slay Bells is a medium-dark, peachy orange with warm undertones and a matte finish. The pigmentation was buildable from semi-opaque to opaque coverage (two layers), while the blush had a soft, lightly powdery texture that applied fairly well to bare skin. I would recommend applying it over a setting powder or a matte finish foundation to ensure blending is a cinch. It lasted for just over nine hours on before showing signs of fading.

Formula Overview

$29.00/0.2 oz. - $145.00 Per Ounce

The Amazonian Clay Blush formula is supposed to have 12-hour wear along with a “supremely soft” texture. There’s a lot to like about Tarte’s formula, as it is softer (sometimes dusty), blendable, and fairly smooth with good pigmentation, but for me, I rarely get 12-hour wear–I do get between 8 and 10-hour wear, though.

Shimmering

Shimmering is a medium, pink-coral with warm undertones and a satin sheen. It had nearly opaque color payoff that applied well to bare skin with a smooth, even lay down of color that blended out easily along the edges. The texture was soft, not too thin nor too powdery, and sat well on bare skin. It stayed on well for nine and a half hours before fading a bit.

Snow Kissed

Snow Kissed is a light, peachy beige with warm undertones and a bright, metallic sheen. The highlighter had rich pigmentation paired with a smooth, creamy consistency that was dense without being too firmly pressed in the pan. The powder applied evenly to my skin and blended out without issues. I noticed slight fading after nine hours of wear.

Prize is a light pink with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had buildable color coverage from semi-opaque to opaque (two layers). The blush applied evenly to bare skin and blended well, as it seemed to be a bit softer and less thin, which made it more spreadable as a result.

Peppermint Mocha

Peppermint Mocha is a light-medium brown with stronger, warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was drier, almost crumbly, and it applied poorly to my skin–even if I applied over foundation or setting powder–as the color stuck wherever it was initially applied and did not want to move. It had rich color coverage but was difficult to work with. The color stayed on decently for nine hours before fading noticeably.

NYE

NYE is a medium-dark, rosy copper with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had opaque color payoff that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out with little effort. The consistency was a bit denser, more cream-like, and “heavier” in that way compared to their typical blush formula (which is quite thin). The color lasted well for nine and a half hours on me before showing signs of fading.

Decked Out

Decked Out is a brighter, medium-dark pink with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had good color coverage in a single layer, which was biuldable to full coverage with a second layer. The texture was soft, slightly thinner, and as a result, it blended better over drier (or powdered) skin rather than my bare skin (it stuck slightly and had to be buffed out more strongly). It wore well for nine hours on me before fading noticeably.

Mistletoe

Mistletoe is a muted, dusty coral with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that applied fairly evenly to bare skin, though I’d recommend using it over just-powdered skin to ensure even, more blendable application. It just has a thinner texture, when coupled with the matte finish, that has a tendency to gravitate toward any natural slip/oils on the skin (or your foundation). This shade stayed on well for nine hours before fading a bit.

Tarte Chrome for the Holidays Set Review & Swatches

Chrome for the Holidays

Tarte Chrome for the Holidays Chrome Paint Shadow Pot Set ($24.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a new, limited edition foursome that features two new, exclusive shades and two recently-released shades (which is a nice touch!). All four shades had great pigmentation, applied and blended out without much effort, and lasted for nine hours on me. These minis actually included plastic tampers inside the pot (individual pots now come with the tamper outside of the pot), but they were harder to hold given their mini size.

The full-size Chrome Paints retail for $22.00 and contain 0.10 oz. or cost $220.00 per ounce. The set includes 0.14 oz. across four shades for $24.00, and the set has a total value of $30.80.

Citrine

Citrine is a medium-dark copper with warm, orange undertones and a bright, metallic finish with faint micro-sparkle. It had nearly opaque pigmentation applied dry with a brush or fingertip, while application with a dampened brush yielded a smoother, shinier finish that also appeared richer and deeper overall.

The texture was a bit heavy compared to most shades in the formula, so using a heavier hand to get product onto the brush initially was ideal. The product applied fairly smoothly and seemed to “melt” as it warmed up against my lid. It stayed on well for nine hours before creasing faintly.

Formula Overview

$22.00/0.11 oz. - $200.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "rich, vibrant" color that comes in "loose pigment" form and will "melt instantly" and "stay put for hours" on the eyes. They feel like a heavier, creamier loosely-packed eyeshadow, which I think is illustrated well across the six shades I initially purchased (shown in the group shot): some arrived more crumbly and two arrived very smooth, densely and tightly packed. They brand recommends using these with a fingertip, but I was able to use brushes as well as fingertips to achieve very similar results.

Most of the shades were quite pigmented whether applied dry or wet, but wet application definitely intensified the vibrancy and shine of the finish. I found they applied a little better in practice (dry) than initially swatched, which might be due to applying to a smaller area and pressing/patting on without spreading across a larger area. They have a slightly thicker consistency, so I recommend using a patting/pressing motion to get them to adhere evenly and smoothly on the lid, but they did seem to "melt" (as described) as I worked with them on my skin and after a few minutes, so they had a very smooth sheen while worn.

I did get some fallout, especially with the shades that appeared more crumbly, and I had less fallout after I pressed the looser product down in the respective pot (effectively crushing everything together). They lasted between eight and nine hours on me before creasing faintly.

Frose

Frose is a light-medium pink with cooler undertones and warmer, golden shimmer throughout that gave it a metallic finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single layer when applied dry with a brush, and it was opaque when applied with a fingertip (as recommended by the brand) or a dampened brush.

The texture was looser in the pot, and there was an included stopper (actually inside the pot), but it was buried under the loose powder. The product applied evenly to bare skin, blended out easily, and lasted well for nine hours before creasing a bit.

Pink Diamonds

Pink Diamonds is a medium plum with subtle, warm undertones and cooler, violet shimmer that gave it a more pearly sheen. It was not as metallic as most of the Chrome Shadow Paints have been. The pigmentation was opaque in a single layer whether applied dry with a brush, with fingertips, or with a dampened brush; the latter application method yielded slightly deeper color for the base. The texture was smooth, lightly creamy, and easy to work with on bare skin. The eyeshadow wore nicely for nine hours before showing signs of fading.

Wild at Heart

Wild at Heart is a light, pink-peach base with blue-to-pink shifting pearl paired with a metallic finish. The consistency was smooth, lightly creamy, and dense without being too firmly-pressed in the pot–it loosened easily when I put my brush to it.

The pigmentation was opaque regardless of application method–dry brush, damp brush, or fingertip–so it was pretty easy to work with and versatile. The eyeshadow applied evenly and blended out easily along the edges without sheering out or having issues with fallout. It stayed on well for nine hours before creasing slightly on me.

Tarte Unleashed Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Christine — Sat, 06 Jul 2019 19:00:00 +0000

Unleashed

Tarte Unleashed 15-Pan Amazonian Clay Eyeshadow Palette ($39.00 for 0.645 oz.) is a new, limited edition eyeshadow palette with a mix of rosy and warm-toned neutrals with pops of mid-tone teal and deeper blue-teal. I really enjoyed the palette from a quality standpoint, and I’m not always a fan of Tarte’s eyeshadows (often the mattes are too powdery), but these had a lot of intensity, good substance, and were easy to work with.

Swan Song

Swan Song is a pale beige with warmer undertones and a satin sheen. It had opaque pigmentation but had a fairly powdery texture, though it was quite finely-milled, so there was some fallout along with sheerness when applied. It wore well for seven hours before I noticed fading.

Oh Deer

Oh Deer is a muted, medium pink-coral with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had a moderately powdery consistency that made it prone to sheering out, so it was hard to achieve more than medium to semi-opaque coverage with it (even over a primer). It showed signs of fading after seven hours of wear.

Hawkward

Hawkward is a light, dirty gold with a sparkling, metallic sheen. It had a very wet-look to it when applied to my skin, though it applied best with a fingertip or a wet brush as dry application yielded more semi-opaque coverage and some fallout. This shade stayed on well for seven and a half hours on me and had light fallout over time.

Tarte Beach Bae, Paradise Found, Sun Drenched Chrome Paint Shadow Pots Reviews & Swatches

Christine — Fri, 05 Jul 2019 21:00:00 +0000

Beach Bae

Tarte Beach Bae Chrome Paint Shadow Pot ($22.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a bright, light-medium golden copper with strong, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation applied dry, which was buildable to full coverage with a second layer. The texture was chunkier, which is why I felt like a dampened brush was necessary to improve application: the dampness helped to bind the powder together for smoother, more even adhesion to my lid. There was light fallout when applied dry, though it didn’t continue during wear. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours on me before creasing faintly.

Paradise Found

Tarte Paradise Found Chrome Paint Shadow Pot ($22.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a soft, golden beige with warm undertones and a bright, metallic finish. It had opaque color coverage applied dry as well as wet. The texture was smooth to the touch, densely packed in the pot, despite not having the tamper included inside (it was in the box). The eyeshadow went on evenly, blended out easily along the edges, and lasted well for eight hours on me before showing signs of fading.

Sun Drenched

Tarte Sun Drenched Chrome Paint Shadow Pot ($22.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a muted, medium gold with strong, warm undertones and a metallic finish. The texture was like a cream-powder hybrid that was loosely pressed into the jar, so it felt denser, thicker, but it also had a creaminess to it that helped it adhere well to bare skin without much fallout. It had more semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation when applied dry, though fingertips or a wet brush yielded full coverage in one layer. The eyeshadow applied well to my skin, blended out with ease, and wore well for eight and a half hours on me before creasing faintly.

Unleashed

Tarte Unleashed Chrome Paint Shadow Pot ($22.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a light-medium purple with neutral undertones and a metallic sheen. It had rich pigmentation in a single layer, which adhered evenly and smoothly on my lid by pressing into place. The pot arrived with more of a loose pigment consistency, though there was a plastic stopper included outside of the pot, which could be used to press it into place–they used to include the stopper inside, which helped keep the actual product loosely-pressed. Nevertheless, the consistency was soft, finely-milled, and blendable. It stayed on well for eight hours on me before creasing slightly.

Frose

Tarte Frose Chrome Paint Shadow Pot ($22.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a medium pink with subtle, warm undertones and much warmer, golden shimmer that gave it a highly reflective, metallic finish. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, whether applied dry or wet–the wet application yielded a slightly deeper base color. The consistency was soft, finely-milled, and mine arrived very loose with a “stopper” that was included outside of the actual pot (rather than inside as it was sold previously, which was less messy). I applied the eyeshadow by patting and pressing into place and that was enough to prevent fallout. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before creasing faintly.

Wild at Heart

Tarte Wild at Heart Chrome Paint Shadow Pot ($22.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a light, pinky-peach base with shimmer that shifted from pink to blue. It had opaque color coverage that applied evenly to bare skin when I pressed and patted it into place, as it was quite loose upon arrival. The texture was was soft, smooth, and almost cream-like once it was applied to my skin. It lasted nicely for eight and a half hours on me before creasing slightly.

There was a plastic stopper that was included outside of the pot, which pressed the product into place but the jar was quite filled so some product got pushed over the edge of the stopper. I would have preferred that they kept it inside like prior releases of this formula.

Tarte Tarte-LIT Chrome Paint Highlighter Review & Swatches

Tarte-LIT

Tarte Tarte-LIT Chrome Paint Highlighter ($30.00 for 0.56 oz.) is a bright, light-medium gold with warm, peachy undertones and a metallic finish. It was quite pigmented where a little went a long way, so I’d highly recommend using lighter hand when picking up the product, but I find loose powders work best with slightly flatter, denser blush and highlighter brushes as they pick up product more evenly and do a good job of buffing everything together for a seamless finish.

It’s a new “formula” in the sense that it’s derived from their Chrome Paint Shadow Pots. Tarte described the formula as a “mirrored metallic highlighter” with a “high-sheen chrome finish of a chrome formula but ease of a powder.” While some of the Shadow Pots were looser and others were more loosely pressed (but still visibly pressed), this definitely looked and felt more like a fine, loose powder, but there was a lot more to the actual base that gave it a creamier, thicker consistency, especially when I played with the product on the back of my hand (to get a better sense of the texture). It had a high-shine, metallic finish that was luminous and didn’t emphasize my skin’s natural texture. The powder applied even and blended out without issue. On me, it stayed on well for eight hours before fading slightly.
