Swatch: Tarte BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer (SPF 30)

I got a sample of the Tarte BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer (SPF 30) from Sephora so I decided to swatch them for you. A full size tube will cost you $34 for 1 ounce, and it only comes in 4 colors: fair, light, medium and tan.

Fair Inactive Ingredients: Cyclopentasiloxane, isododecane, mica, polysilicone-11, polymethylsilsesquioxane, hexyl laurate, PEG-10 dimethicone, polyglyceryl-4 isostearate, stearic acid, cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 dimethicone, alumina, triethoxycaprylylsilane, dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline, diamond powder, iron oxides.
Light Inactive Ingredients: Cyclopentasiloxane, isododecane, polysilicone-11, mica, polymethylsilsesquioxane, hexyl laurate, PEG-10 dimethicone, polyglyceryl-4 isostearate, stearic acid, cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 dimethicone, alumina, triethoxycaprylylsilane, dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline, diamond powder, iron oxides.

Ingredients found here.

Natural light. Fair, Light, Medium, Tan.

Flash brings out the pinkish tone of the Light color (2nd), which was noticeable when I applied it to my face.


Fair, Light, Medium, Tan



I swatched Light and Medium next to MAC NC30 Studio Finish (mislabeled in pic) Concealer for a comparison.  You can clearly see how MAC is more yellow-toned than the Tarte BB Primer.

Same as above but no flash. This is a bad picture, though. The inside of my arm isn't this pale in real life, lol. But you can see the color tone differences from MAC NC30.


OF NOTE
~For those sensitive to certain ingredients, you'll be happy to know that this product is oil-free, talc-free, and bismuth oxychloride-free.
~Contains broad spectrum SPF 30.
~Light gave me a pink cast on my NC25-NC30 skin. Medium was too dark for me but more golden-toned.
~Has a nice, velvety, smooth, silky feel, like those clear silicone based primers.
~Near matte finish.
~Wonderful as a primer!
~Does not help my oily skin.
~Will not cover imperfections but has way more pigment than Stila's Stay All Day BB cream, which is the only other BB cream/treatment/primer that I've tried.
~They claim that 94% of women said their skin felt more hydrated. Well, I must be that 6% of other women that feel this product is NOT moisturizing at all.  It brought out some flaky areas (caused by breakouts) on my face even after moisturizing well.
~I would not purchase a full size because of the pink cast Light gave me, but as far as texture, it's a nice primer.  As far as coverage, if you have near perfect skin or a little bit of redness, then this will work for you. If you have a lot of imperfections, you will still need a foundation.
