BB blur tinted moisturizer SPF 30

Tarte BB blur tinted moisturizer SPF 30 is the matte end of the tinted-moisturiser category — a cloud-textured cream that evens skin out without reading as foundation. It layers coverage where you want it, carries broad spectrum SPF 30, and Tarte also counts it as a 12-hour primer.

What it actually does

• Medium coverage you decide on. Buildable, finishing naturally matte rather than shiny — the brand's shorthand for this is a no-makeup-makeup result.
• Softens what catches light. Tarte says it blurs the look of pores, surface texture and fine lines rather than filling them.
• Triple-B complex. The brand credits this for minimising the appearance of fine lines and pores, for a more youthful-looking complexion.
• Brightens, hydrates and smooths on application, per Tarte, in a creamy texture the brand describes as weightless.
• Sunscreen built in. Broad Spectrum SPF 30 — so it does double duty on days you'd otherwise skip a separate layer.
• Vegan and dermatologist tested. In Tarte's own Tartelette panel, 100% agreed it doesn't crease and that it feels comfortable and weightless. Self-reported brand figures.

How to use

1. Dispense a small amount onto the back of your hand. Start with less than you think — it builds.
2. Dab it on. Use a foundation brush or your fingertips to tap it lightly across the face.
3. Blend gently outward. No need to buff hard; the texture spreads easily.
4. Choose your role for it. Alone it reads as a sheer tint; worn underneath foundation it adds coverage and acts as a primer.
