Amazonian clay blurring powder foundation

Tarte took one of its bestselling foundations and pressed it into powder form. The Amazonian clay blurring powder foundation delivers medium, buildable coverage with a matte finish the brand is careful to describe as natural rather than flat — optical blurring powders do the soft-focus work while Amazonian clay handles shine.

What it actually does

• Blurs rather than simply covers. Tarte says the optical blurring powders airbrush the look of fine lines, pores and imperfections — a filter effect you get in real life.
• Controls shine with clay. According to the brand, Amazonian clay absorbs oil so the finish stays shine-free, and it's the ingredient behind the longer, truer wear tarte claims.
• Keeps skin from feeling parched. A hyaluronic acid complex is included to hold on to skin's own moisture under the powder.
• Includes vitamin E. Tarte lists it as a natural preservative, emollient and antioxidant that settles redness and irritation.
• Vegan, gluten-free and cruelty-free, in packaging the brand says is recyclable.
• Brand-reported panel data. In a clinical and consumer panel of 33 subjects, tarte reports 100% agreed it blurred the appearance of pores, made skin look matte rather than flat, and left a soft-focus finish.

How to use

1. Load the angled blur brush — or any powder foundation brush you already like — with product.
2. Work it onto the face in circular motions until the complexion looks even.
3. Keep the included sponge in your bag for touch-ups during the day.
