travel-size creaseless setting & brightening powder

Tarte's travel-size creaseless setting & brightening powder is a loose powder made for the under-eye, and it ships with its own mini puff. The point is a brightened, natural-looking finish that holds through the day without turning the area dry or cakey. The small format exists so it can live in a handbag for touch-ups.

What it actually does

• Sets the under-eye without creasing. That is the product's whole brief — a loose powder aimed at concealer that moves and collects in lines.
• Brightens as it sets. Tarte describes the result as a naturally brightened under-eye rather than a flat, powdered one.
• Holds up to 16 hours. The brand claims a smooth, sweatproof finish over that window, with no flashback in photos.
• Amazonian clay for wear. This is the highlighted ingredient, credited by Tarte with truer, longer wear.
• Keeps the texture soft. The brand's position is that it smooths skin without making it look cakey or lifeless.
• Mini puff included. The applicator comes in the pack, sized for precise placement rather than full-face setting.
• Clean-formula callouts. Made without parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, sulfates (SLS and SLES), oxybenzone, hydroquinone, coal tar, triclosan, triclocarban and formaldehyde-releasing agents, with under one percent synthetic fragrance. Cruelty-free.

Tarte reports a clinical and consumer-panel study of 34 subjects in which 100% said it feels weightless. Brand-conducted, self-reported — results vary.

How to use

1. Apply concealer first and let it settle for a few seconds.
2. Load the mini puff lightly. Tap off the excess — loose powder goes further than it looks.
3. Press, don't sweep. Pat the puff over the under-eye so the powder sits on top of the concealer instead of dragging it.
4. Keep it for touch-ups. The travel size and included puff are designed for detail work during the day.

Questions

Will it leave white cast in photos?

Tarte states the finish shows no flashback, which is the usual cause of a white cast under flash.

Does it dry out the under-eye?

The brand's claim is that it keeps skin smooth rather than cakey or flat. As with any powder, less product and a pressing motion will always look softer than a heavy layer.

Is a puff included?

Yes — a mini puff comes with it, sized for precision work and touch-ups away from home.
