Why tarte cosmetics earned a C-
About tarte cosmetics
Amazonian clay is the ingredient tarte built its identity around, and you'll see it called out on half the packaging in the lineup. It's a cruelty-free, mostly clean beauty brand that's become a Sephora and Ulta staple, known for cult-favorite concealers and blushes as much as for its clay-based skincare claims.
Shoppers who order directly from tarte.com should know the return process only allows one return or exchange per order, which is stingier than a lot of competitors that let you send back items separately as you decide. There's also a flat $5 handling fee taken out of every refund, so factor that into whether a return is worth it for a lower-priced item.
What they sell
- Amazonian clay concealer and foundation
- Maracuja and clay-based skincare
- Eyeshadow palettes and blush
- Setting sprays and primers
- Lip plumpers and glosses
