tarte eye catchers 6-piece smolderEYES & skinny smolderEYES collector's set
So Lucky I Bought This When I Did!
The liners are in unique, flattering shades, create anything from a fine line to a wide cat-eye, and are virtually creaseless. They last forever.

Tarte has a knack of coordinating shades beautifully. These are highly pigmented, extremely soft and blendable, and wear forever. I bought one for my sister and a few for my friends.

When I was in junior high, I was friends with a girl whose parents were extremely wealthy and liked to let others know about it. They were unduly harsh on my friend; she could do nothing right, whereas I was blessed to have supportive, loving parents. One Christmas, my friend's mother presented her with a container of Dermablend™ professional-strength camouflage cream and said, "Here! I'm sick of seeing blemishes on you!" I can never think of Dermabland™ without that incident coming to mind. My friend had very tiny blemishes and this was clearly overkill. I went on to use this when I did informal modeling in my city, especially when I was photographed for pictures, brochures, and print media (I have perceptible veins underneath my eyes). I recall being taught to remove some of the cream from the container and put it in my palm to warm it and make it more malleable (there are twenty-one shades with a variety of undertones--at least one a sure fit for every woman or man). I love the fact that this concealer has an SPF factor of 30, hydrates all day, and is suitable for sensitive skin. Use over cleansed, moisturized skin. It is a substantive cream, but you can work well with it with your fingers, a sponge (dry or dampened), or your foundation brush, depending on the amount you need to cover and whether or not you want an "airbrushed" finish. Dermablend™ is very long-wearing and smudge-resistant. Begin at the area where the problem is and blend, blend, blend. Then, once you are done, build coverage very slightly over the problem(s). It will last at least twelve hours. If you use high-definition setting powder from Dermablend™ or another company, wear is extended to sixteen hours. It is a lifesaver for major blemishes, scars, burns, rosacea, or whatever life throws your way. This is one product which has been around a long time and which I hope they continue for many long years to come.

The inscription is so pretty that I was hesitant to use it. The "charmed rose" looks natural but adds a lovely flush to my cheeks. It wears for a long time, even in humid weather.

I love to change my eye and cheek shades to go with what I'm wearing or how I'm feeling, and Mark makes it ever-so-easy with this large, well-made compact. I keep creating combinations; I suppose the possibilities are endless.

The reason this pumice works so powerfully and well is that it is mainly sand with some moisturizers and binders to hold it together. When my skin gets very dry, I use it on my hands, elbows, knees, and feet up to twice daily and follow with a good moisturizing lotion. The same results can be achieved with a week at the shore, but this is less expensive.

I'm a hard-sell when it comes to primer, but I was greatly impressed by this line. The primer does keep my skin looking youthful, flawless, and my makeup stays on a long time.

Just the tiniest dot of this product gives you enough color for cheeks. I like the ease with which it blends and the wear. I'm going to purchase the other shades.

I have this in "One Shine Day." This is a 100 percent wax-free gloss, with part of the comforting, creamy feel coming from nourishing honey nectar. It shines amazingly and lasts long--love it!

This is a heavenly, sophisticated, seductive mix of white musk, sandalwood, vanilla, and white peony. It works well with my chemistry. I get a lot of compliments when I wear this, and it's hard to keep my husband away (not that I WANT to . . .).
