Just As I Suspected Tarte Shape Tape Ultra Creamy Concealer Isn’t as Pigmented as The Original Formula
Just as I suspected Tarte Shape Tape Ultra Creamy Concealer as pigmented isn’t as the original formula! I picked up two shades recently when Ulta had a sale and I’m ever so glad I did as they were truly a steal. That being said you can still get yours for 35% off or anything else plus free shipping by signing up to be a Loyalty Member at tartecosmetics.com and using code BFF (not a member?

I got my order this week and I’m still testing but as I mentioned in a prior post this isn’t as pigmented as the original. I suspected as much and I did mention that when you go more hydrating with a concealer you end up also losing out on pigment. It’s just very common that hydrating concealers can really bring the moisture but tend to fail miserably at coverage and pigment.
I still like this but not as much as the original. Keep in mind that Shape Tape is actually my ride or die. I’ve been using it since it launched and even as someone with dry skin it still looks incredible under my eyes. I’ve always wanted a more moisturizing formula from Shape Tape but I knew that if Tarte ever released one I’d be forsaking what I love most about the original. The pigment! Shape Tape is super full-coverage and hides everything. My puffiness, my finer lines, my tired eyes, it just whisks it all away and makes me look human again.
Of course, when Shape Tape Ultra Creamy Concealer launched I was over the moon with excitement but I didn’t expect much from it and I got exactly what I expected. It’s creamy, it blends beautifully, it’s an ideal formula for drier or mature eyes. It is not pigmented. This is not disappointing to me as I didn’t hype myself up into believing this was going to provide the same full coverage as the original. And I’m ok with that. I actually do really like this formula. It’s not super sheer so don’t worry about that! However, it’s also not super pigmented. I’m still in the testing phases at the moment but I’m gonna say I really like what I’m seeing from it so far.
Will it replace the original Shape Tape for me? No. Is it something I’d buy again? Possibly. I have to test a bit more before I give you more details but so far, so good.
Full review coming soon!
