For me that I have really deep wrinkles on my forehead and I am not a fan of botox at all, the tarte one is my holy grail. It literally camouflages all the wrinkles as if I had injections! It is magic!
Is this that Tarte primer? https://tartecosmetics.com/EU/en_HR/makeup/face/limited-edition-timeless-smoothing-primer/1249.html
Seems it has new packaging, this is the one Tati is using always?
I tried a sample of the Tatcha Primer and I really like it.. over the last few days, I have tried to somehow justify possibly spending $52 to get the full size; I wasn’t even a minute into this video and I had made up my mind… the second you mentioned WEDDING my decision was final; as long as I’m not the only one willing to splurge, I will consider it justified… LOL I’m getting married in 2 months and I have been playing with different combinations of face products and eyeshadow looks trying to come up with the PERFECT combination for that big day! When is your wedding?
Hello Serena I’ve been trying to find this primer everywhere but i can’t find it!!! Even on tarts own site is not showing this exact primer. Could it be that it’s actually called “timeless smoothing” primer???
I think the Tarte did keep your oil under control.
Have you tried the luscious cosmetics foundation stick yet? Apparently it’s made to withstand very hot environments because it’s made by someone from Southeast Asia so she knows hot and humid climates. I’m considering it for my wedding day makeup and have seen a few people that got married in Texas use it and they said he really stood the test on their big day. One of them used it with the tatcha silk canvas. So I thought I’d throw that out there! Based on your review I think I’m going to go for thatcha for my primer. This was so helpful!
Tarte seems to blur pores better to me
They are both great primers and I own them both and your using WAY to much tacha! Supposed to only use the size of rice! And there meant to be pressed into the skin where you need it
Tarte is more expensive per gram than Tatcha. Tarte is about $78 per gram and tatcha is $74. Tatcha is technically cheaper.
hey serena have you tried the j.one jelly pack for primer before??
Have you tried the present from philosophy? Just for your nose I bet it would work to keep your makeup on all day.
tatcha looks brighter
Maybe I missed it…what is your skin type?
OMG you really look like Nasim Pedrad, the actress that plays Aly in New Girl
No poreblem is Better than both of these
The tatcha primer is actually less expensive. If you compare dollars per amount of product, .7 ounces of tarte would be $54.6, whereas tatcha is $52 per .7 ounces.
O!!!M!!!G!!!!! Thank you for saying that!!! Thank you for saying that your makeup never stays on your nose!!! I have never found ANYTHING in the category of primers that would keep my makeup on my nose. Which exasperated me beyond despair!!!! I felt no one was dealing with this issue as much as me and I’m not even SUPER oily on my nose, I’m just a slight combination.
So thank you again. This makes me feel so much better!!!
Thank
Thanks for the review and demo. I’ve been trying to decide between the two so this was very helpful. I hope I can get a sample of Tatcha from Sephora before I decide. Peace!
The tarte one I’ve heard is silicone based it’s meant to fill in pores. The tatcha primer is more like a skin care item which creates a barrier and moisturizes the skin and makes makeup last longer it is not silicone based at all. I’m surprised you didn’t mention the difference in the texture of both or how they fell on the skin. Something that’s heavy in silicones is going to feel way different than a creamy based product.
Can definitely see a difference and if I was you I would go with the Tarte. I can tell a serious difference at the end.
The Tarte really balls up on me! You’re right. It’s not pleasant to apply!!!
What’s your skin type?
I see your left side is a bit shinier. Also Vagisil chaffing cream for the win. A beauty secret make up artists use for wedding day make up. It’s full of dimethicone so not to be used every day.
How do you think tatcha compares to the Smashbox primer? The purple Poreless one?
If you do the math, Tatcha Silk Canvas is actually cheaper per gram than the Tarte Smoothing Primer. The Tatcha is $2.60 per gram while the Tarte is $2.70 per gram. Not to sound like a total geek…just sayin’.
Tatcha broke me out bad, the tarte didnt
Your right side is more oiler
Were you paid to dislike one over another? Yep, your comments are inconsistent with the masses. You got paid!!!!!
I have used the tarte primer for a year and I love it! I want to try the tatcha tho!
The tarte one is actually more expensive cost per gram.
Less texture on Tatcha side from what I can see.
