tarte Face Tape Pressed Powder – Medium-Coverage Waterproof Powder, 29N Light Medium Neutral, Matte Hydrating Finish

tarte Face Tape Pressed Powder is a medium-coverage, waterproof powder foundation that smooths, mattifies, and hydrates while setting makeup for longwear touch-ups.

This pressed powder blends skin-mimicking pigments with moisture-supporting ingredients to deliver a natural matte finish without feeling heavy. Infused with the MoistureDrench complex—hyaluronic acid and snow mushroom—the formula helps support a brighter, plumper appearance while absorbing excess oil and reducing shine. Lightweight and travel-ready, it comes with an applicator sponge for on-the-go application and is vegan and cruelty-free, formulated without common irritants like parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate, or gluten.

How much coverage and what finish can I expect from this powder?

The Face Tape Pressed Powder provides medium, buildable coverage designed to mask imperfections and blur pores while still looking natural. The finish is matte with light-reflecting pigments to prevent a flat appearance, helping skin appear smooth and skin-like rather than overly powdered.

• Medium, buildable coverage that conceals imperfections
• Natural matte finish with subtle light-reflecting pigments
• Skin-mimicking texture minimizes creasing and caking
• Includes sponge for targeted touch-ups and blending

Can this powder help control oil and last through the day?

This formula is designed to absorb excess oil and reduce shine while maintaining wear that performs through daily activities. Clinical and consumer panel testing reported extended wear and waterproof performance in real-use conditions, making it a practical choice for oily or combination skin types who need reliable longevity.

• Absorbs surface oil to maintain matte appearance

What skin benefits do the active ingredients provide?

The MoistureDrench complex combines hyaluronic acid and snow mushroom to support hydration and a plumper-looking complexion while actives like peptides and fruit extracts work to improve surface texture. These ingredients aim to balance moisture and oil control so the powder looks fresh and comfortable on the skin.

• Hyaluronic acid helps attract and retain moisture for a fuller appearance
• Snow mushroom supports hydration and skin-smoothing effects
• Matrixyl 3000 (peptide) targets the appearance of fine lines and texture
• Apple fruit extract contributes antioxidant support and brightening effects

How should I use this pressed powder for the best results?

Use the included sponge or a powder brush to apply over foundation to set makeup or wear alone for quick, medium-coverage touch-ups. Press or sweep lightly, build coverage where needed, and focus on the T-zone to control shine while keeping cheeks and high points looking natural and luminous.

• Apply over foundation to set and reduce shine for all-day wear
• Use alone for lightweight, even coverage on busy days
• Press product with sponge for fuller coverage, or buff with a brush for a softer finish
• Touch up the T-zone mid-day to refresh matte look without cakiness
