Tarte Shape Tape Concealer and Glow Wand

If you are at all into Makeup then chances are you’ve heard of
​Tarte’s Shape Tape Concealer. Here is my Review!

Tarte is America’s No 1 Concealer brand based on sales from Jan - Dec 2019!
Picture

What is Shape Tape Concealer?

Shape Tape Concealer is a full coverage formula that offers up to 16 hours of flawless wear. It uses Tape Technology to help smooth and blur out the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is Vegan, Waterproof and Non-Comedogenic.

It contains:
  • Shea Butter which helps retain the skin’s elasticity 
  • Mango Butter which helps moisturise and condition the skin 
  • Licorice Root which helps to brighten the appearance of dark circles and colour corrects                      

This concealer is backed up by thousands of 5 star reviews. I find it covers my dark circles well and blurrs out any imperfections or blemishes on the skin. I do find it long wearing and on me I would describe it as a matte finish. It provides the positive benefit of being a full coverage concealer without the negative aspect of it being too drying or cakey. A little goes a long way with this concealer and I only needed to use a small amount each time as it blends out very easily. Apparently one is sold every 12 seconds. 

How to Apply?

I like using a sponge to blend out this concealer but you can also use your finger, a dome shaped or a flat head concealer brush. I mainly use this under my eye, on any blemish or on the eyelid as a base for eye shadow. You can also choose darker or lighter shades of this concealer and use them to contour and highlight the skin.

What is the Shape Tape Glow Wand?

The Glow Wand is described as an instant eye lift in a tube! It contains:
  • Porcelain flower which helps smooth and illuminate the skin
  • Mineral Pigments which help smooth and soften the skin  
  • Diamond Powder which helps blur imperfections.

It is brightening without being overly sparkly. In my opinion it’s almost like a Liquid Highlighter and Concealer all in one.

How to Apply?

You can use the Glow Wand over Concealer for an instant eye lift. For me, if I apply Shape Tape under my eye because of my very dark circles I would shy away from putting the Glow Wand completely over the top of it because I wouldn’t want to exaggerate their appearance any more. Instead I would apply it in my inner corner to brighten it up as well as under my brow bone for a subtle highlight. I also find it very nice as a highlight on the highest points of my face. Often when you wear the fairest shade foundation and concealer, you can’t then use a lighter concealer to highlight because usually there isn’t any lighter concealer. This is where the Glow Wand steps up in my opinion. It gives off a beautiful glow while still offering a bit of extra coverage.
Picture

What is the Shade Range?

The Shape Tape Concealer range comes in 30 different shades. For reference I use shade “12S Fair”. The Glow wand comes in 8 shades and I use the shade “Sunbeam”.
Picture

How much do they retail for?

The Glow Wand is €25 and The Shape Tape Concealer is €27. You will find these products on the Tarte Cosmetics Website or on QVC.

Hi Danielle, it's not as full coverage as the Shape Tape. It's more of a subtle glow to be used in conjunction with a concealer in my opinion! x

Hi Lorraine, I think it would be very popular on the Youtube Beauty Guru scene. I had heard about it for years before seeing it available on an Irish Market and purchasing. It definitely lived up to the hype but I think it's defintely more known in America than here! x

Hi Gina, I think it will work on most skin types except maybe really dry. If your skin is very dry I'd suggest trying a cream concealer or just using a hydrating eye cream underneath! x
