![]() ![]() The Shape Tape concealer comes in 30 shades but, like its infamous foundation counterpart, I don't think they got the gradient right with this one! There's a lot of minor variations on the lighter end with a range of in-between shades and different undertones vs. I think the Tarte can be used to spot-concealer but the Too Faced probably isn't as suitable for that because of its more watery texture. As I mentioned, I don't really contour but I think you could probably use both of these for that purpose, though the Too Faced is going to look more natural because it sheers out. I apply both of these concealers with my makeup sponge. ![]() I do also notice a little bit of fading towards the end of a long day when I use this one. Even with all that, I do often get creasing with this concealer. What I don't love about this concealer is that on my skin, I have to set it very quickly with a heavy-duty or quite a matte powder to minimise creasing. It's definitely slightly more sheer than the Tarte option and is very hydrating, so if you have dry eyes this is the option for you. The Too Faced, on the other hand, is definitely more fluid, which is why I think a lot of people like it for contouring, because that makes it really easy to blend out (I don't really contour so I just use both of these concealers under my eyes). ![]() It definitely isn't drying on my under-eyes, however it isn't specifically hydrating. I personally find the Tarte formula to be so long-wearing and it's incredibly crease-proof it's a product I reach for when I need something that's going to look flawless all day long. I've seen a lot of people say that these two concealers are really similar formula-wise but I actually have to disagree! The Shape Tape is a little more opaque (though I'd still say the Too Faced is full-coverage, the consistency is much more watery) and has a very slightly thicker texture. The Too Faced one has a bit more of a dip in it so scoops up more product than the Tarte. Be happy if it's on the ingredient list.Both concealers have a large doe-foot applicator, which makes it easy to cover the amount of surface area you need to get a good layer on under the eyes. Oh, and one more thing: glabridin seems to be also an antioxidant, which is just one more reason to be happy about licorice root extract on an ingredient list.īottom line: Licorice is a great skincare ingredient with significant depigmenting, anti-inflammatory and even some antioxidant properties. It’s used to treat several skin diseases that are connected to inflammation including atopic dermatitis, rosacea or eczema. Glabridin has also some soothing properties but the main active anti-inflammatory component is glycyrrhizin. 2 magic property is that licorice is a potent anti-inflammatory. ![]() The latter one is a very-very expensive ingredient, so if you are after the depigmenting properties try to choose a product that boasts its high-quality licorice extract. We have seen extracts with only 4% glabridin as well as 40% glabridin. There is just one catch regarding glabridin and licorice: the amount of glabridin in commercial licorice extracts can vary a lot.
