![]() For a couple days, I put Tarte under one eye and NARS under the other, and honestly I could barely tell a difference as far as coverage and how well they blended. I would say Tarte is maybe slightly thicker and slightly more full coverage, so it might scrape by as the winner here, but they both really are wonderful formulas. Much cleaner! Formula and CoverageĪs far as formula, I’d consider both the NARS and Tarte pretty creamy and very similar. The NARS seems to have some kind of mechanism at the top of the tube that scrapes the excess product off when taking it out. When I put the applicator back in the tube, I can just hear that goopy sound like the product is making a mess. I’m constantly having to scrape the excess off the top of the tube (which of course just causes a mess) and even then I still end up applying way too much to my undereyes. There is entirely too much product on the applicator. What I hate is the product that just gets everywhere. I don’t hate the giant doe-foot applicator. The product stays on the brush and not anywhere else. You get a normal-sized doe-foot applicator, and the tube dispenses exactly the amount you need (maybe sometimes a bit less than you need, but nothing a second dip into it wouldn’t fix). Tubes and ApplicationĪnd now for the #1 thing I haaaate about the Tarte Shape Tape (and one of the reasons I may not repurchase it). You definitely get a better “bang for your buck” with the Tarte. Price/VolumeĪnother area where Tarte is the winner. Tarte looks to have a good variety of pinks, yellows, and neutrals. So basically, if you’re a neutral tone like me, finding a correct shade is going to be tricky with NARS…they tend to lean pink overall. There is another shade called “Café Con Leche” but it looks extremely yellow/golden. Here is a good comparison between those 3 colors. ![]() Cannelle, which I’ll probably try next, seems like it might be slightly darker than I’d like, but the tone looks less pink. ![]() And while Crème Brulee was better as far as being a little darker, its SO pink. Vanilla was too light for me, although the tone was probably better. I’ve tried 2 shades so far with NARS: “Vanilla” and “Crème Brulee”. I also have a better match with Tarte’s “22N Light Neutral” than I do with NARS. The clear winner here is obviously Tarte, with 30 shades vs NARS’s 22. I figured I’d share my thoughts on both and which one I like more! Shade Range I’ve used both of these top-rated concealers recently (NARS a bit longer than Tarte) and they’re constantly being compared to one another. ![]()
