![]() As with almost every concealer you will need to set these with a light dusting of powder to prevent creasing or any smudging throughout the day.Īll of this to say, I have been very happy with the Ulta brand and pleasantly surprised how similar it is to the Tarte formula, especially for the price point. Sometimes using a sponge can take away some product, but both formulas stay in place with gentle dabbing motions of the the sponge. ![]() I prefer to blend out my concealer with a beauty sponge ( this one is my favorite) and this method works for both products. Tarte on the left and Ulta on the right.Ĭoverage wise, I find both are full coverage and work well covering up my dark circles. Because a little goes a long way with both of these formulas, I prefer the Ulta brand’s smaller wand, as it is much easier to be precise and apply the right amount of product without going overboard! Wand applicators. Tarte Shape Tape on the Left and Ulta Full Coverage Liquid Concealer on the Right.īoth products have wand applicators, however the Tarte Shape Tape has a much larger and more dome-footed applicator, while the Ulta Brand has a smaller, flat applicator. Tarte Shape Tape on Top and Ulta Full Coverage Liquid Concealer on the bottom. Below is a side-by-side comparison of the shades swatched on my arm. I mainly use my concealers for my under-eye area, so if I’m in between two shades I choose the lighter of the two. I wear the shade Fair Neutral in both brands and they are great matches for my skintone. Now, that’s enough math for me, let’s get back to comparing the two products. Personally that’s not a deal breaker for me, in this case I actually prefer buying whichever product is cheaper up-front. That means you would need purchase 4 bottles of the Ulta brand to get the same amount of product as the Tarte version, coming in around $36.00 (before coupons/promos). If you do the math the Shape Tape is actually cheaper in the long-run. They are also eligible with Ulta coupons (right now the current coupon is $5.00 off $10.00). The product retails for $9.00 USD, but Ulta brand products are usually on some form of sale or promotion. I’d seen it pop up here and there on Instagram and thought I would give it a try. I’ve tried a lot (and I mean a lot) of other concealers but always have a back-up of Shape Tape on stand by-until now! While I have no problem spending money on products that I absolutely love, I’m always down to find a more affordable option and I think it’s safe to say I’ve finally found it!Ī few weeks ago my holiday shopping brought me to Ulta (funny how that happened), and I picked up the Ulta Full Coverage Liquid Concealer. It’s a great full coverage formula that is easy to blend (but be warned, a little goes a long way!). You can purchase this money saving concealer at Superdrug or through the Makeup Revolution website.Since its launch over three years ago Tarte’s Shape Tape Concealer has become a cult favorite in the beauty community and a personal favorite of my own. Makeup Revolution also say that if you purchase the concealer a few shades darker than your skin tone, it can be used as a cream contour due to its velvety and easily bendable formula. If you run out of foundation (guilty), it moonlights as an emergency foundation, we tried it out ourselves. The Makeup Revolution concealer is only £4, with Tarte Shape Tape being a costly £22.Īt SOTC, we’re also giving it bonus points. ![]() Many argue that the only difference between these two products is the price, and as it can be tricky to get your hands on Tarte in the UK, this could be the solution. The size of the applicator means you’ll need to use it sparingly to avoid using up the product too quickly, but that’s a minor issue. The tubes for both products come with a doe-foot applicator for easy distribution of the concealer. The formulas are super similar, they are lightweight when applied but still give a full coverage to hide those dark circles and occasional blemishes. It’s most commonly compared to the popular Tarte Shape Tape concealer, a beauty guru favourite from last year. Make Up Revolution has become known for creating purse friendly dupes of high end products, and this is no exception. Image – Make Up RevolutionĪt start of the year, Make Up Revolution announced that they would be releasing a new concealer, branded as ‘The Conceal & Define.’ With an impressive 18 shades ranging from very fair to very deep, and carrying a variety of undertones, it truly is the concealer for everyone. Luckily, I came across a Make Up Revolution must have, a concealer that rivals the quality of its high end companions. Yup, those charcoal tinted raccoon eyes are always fun. It doesn’t matter how much coffee and concealer you use to remedy the effects of tired eyes, sometimes those dark circles just won’t budge. Sometimes, there’s no hiding when you’ve had a long week.
