Our verdict

A light, color-correcting tinted serum for medium deep skin that wants an even tone without a mask of foundation. Coverage stays light, so strong discoloration will still show.

Overview

Blending this tarte CC tinted serum breaks open encapsulated pigments that shift toward your own tone as you spread them. The deep shade suits medium deep skin, goes on as a light, hydrating serum, and dries to a natural, waterproof finish.

Pigment that flexes across nearby tones makes shade matching less fussy for deeper complexions. Light coverage is part of the design, so dark spots and heavy redness need a concealer on top.

Who it's for

Medium deep complexions that want a hydrated, natural finish for long days get what they need. People with very fair or light skin, or who want heavy coverage, should choose another shade or a fuller formula.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Pigments adapt toward your tone
  • Waterproof, long wear
  • Hydrating serum texture
  • Wear alone or under foundation
Cons
  • Light coverage only
  • Sun protection not listed
  • One shade spans a range, not an exact match

Performance notes

Encapsulated pigments release as you rub them in, so blending time decides how evenly the color settles. A serum base spreads thin, which is why a single dot covers a lot of skin. Light coverage means it evens tone rather than hiding marks.
