Beauty editors and the makeup obsessed are well acquainted with Tarte, the American, vegan and cruelty-free brand known for its shape tape concealer, makeup sets, and long-wearing formulas. With incredible new releases constantly coming our way, you might be left wondering where you can get your hands on the products in the UK.
Currently, there's only one place you can buy Tarte Cosmetics in the UK, and that's QVC. The good news is that the shopping website usually has bundles and deals to bag your favourite brands at a bargain price. The only downside about it being the only place to buy the brand is that there is often limited availability of the ranges and, disappointingly, a lack of shades, so it may be harder to find your perfect match, although the site does regularly restock products. Here's hoping we might get the brand in a department store in the UK, too.
Alternatively, you can order from the Tarte website [1] and pay taxes ahead of time so you've got no scary customs charge surprises. However, shipping charges may be pretty steep, so it's a great opportunity to rope your friends into buying makeup with you to split the cost, or order duos and special sets from QVC. Read on to shop some of our favourite products you can get right away at QVC without any annoying customs charge.
Tarte Shape Tape Concealer and Quickie Blending Sponge
If you want incredible coverage, Tarte Shape Tape Concealer and Quickie Blending Sponge [2] (£28) is your answer. It's easy to use with either the sponge provided or fingers, doesn't settle in fine lines, and a little goes a long way.
Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer
If you're not interested in having a sponge with your concealer, fear not. Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer [3] (£20) comes all on its own, perfect if you just want to restock your makeup bag staple.
Tarte Hydrocealer Concealer with Blending Sponge
Tarte Hydrocealer Concealer with Blending Sponge [4] (£28) is light-weight, oil-free, fragrance-free, and waterproof, promising 12 hours of comfortable wear thanks to the addition of hyaluronic acid in the formula. It uses technology that promises not to crease into fine lines while concealing redness and dark circles.
Tarte Shape Tape Hydrating Foundation & Blending Sponge
If you're a fan of the original shape tape foundation but want something slightly more hydrating, welcome Tarte Shape Tape Hydrating Foundation & Blending Sponge [5] (£36). It gives the same full coverage but with a more dewy finish. The only downside is that the shade options on QVC are disappointing.
Tarte Shape Tape Eye Primer
If you're looking for an eye shadow primer with the same staying power as the concealer, welcome Tarte Shape Tape Eye Primer [6] (£18) into your makeup routine. Use this creamy stick before eye shadow application to ensure your smoky eye stays in place all day and night.
