Not Sponsored: I LOVE TARTE SHAPE TAPE CONCEALER! It's a concealer that does a great job covering ANY imperfections you may have and may I add ... I have a lot to cover. HaHaHa I've been using it since 2017! That's a very long time! It's a holy grail staple product in my beauty arsenal. So when I saw that Tarte Cosmetics came out with a Tarte Shape Tape Ultra Creamy version of their popular concealer, I wondered about the differences between the two. Well, the ORIGINAL you guys is now marketed for normal or oily skin. The ULTRA CREAMY is now marketed for dry or mature skin. Well, my skin is dry and now I'm in the mature category of life ... so that would be me! So I purchased it to test it out. It looks like the original. It lays like the original. It covers like the original. There was just an ever so slight difference that I saw. That would be it has a very slight hint of glow that helps if you have dry or mature skin. It's ever so slight, but really helps. Look at my 2017 photo (link above) and my 2022 photo. Same great coverage, but not as flat. So I will be buying the Ultra Creamy version from here on out. Just for reference, I bought the original in 38N (medium tan neutral) and the ultra creamy in 35N (medium). In the picture below, the ONLY thing I have on my face (to show you the coverage) is Tarte Shape Tape Ultra Creamy Concealer (no moisturizer, no primer, no foundation, no powder, no eyebrow filler). If you look at my before and after, you will notice I have dark under eye circles. Tarte Shape Tape Concealer does a great job covering those areas, but several years ago I added Becca's (Now Smashbox has acquired this product) Smashbox Under Eye Brightening Corrector Medium To Deep (Macys, Nordstrom, Amazon) BEFORE applying Tarte's Ultra Creamy Concealer. Whew Whee! It makes a world of difference! It helps cover those dark areas and brighten them. I did add a little lipstick to my face. It's Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Medium (reviewed here)(Nordstrom Rack, ASOS, SpaceNK, Revolve, Net-A-Porter). So this product is really good! It's always great when an excellent product can spin off into something greater. I always love options!
