I've reviewed Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer in the past and was very pleased with the results. Ultimately, I did move on from the product because I do not have a need for such full coverage. I currently use Clé de Peau's Radiant Corrector for Eyes (which I have reviewed here) because light coverage and a bit of hydration is better suited for my aging skin.

However, I did receive a swatch card sampler with my latest ULTA order; so I figured it would be a good opportunity to share what the swatches would look like on my light-medium skin tone. More specifically, MAC NC37. For reference, MAC NC37 is similar in shade to the celebrities Mila Kunis or Deepika Padukone.

Now here are the Tarte Shape Tape Concealer swatches for:

16N Fair-Light Neutral
29N Light-Medium
36S Medium-Tan Sand

FINAL THOUGHTS

It's been a long time since I last wrote my original review for Tarte Shape Tape Concealer, and I was hoping that they would adjust the formula a little bit to address the oxidation issue; as I feel that the oxidation rate is pretty significant. You can see in the above comparison how 29N Light-Medium might be good match for my NC37 skin, but then after 20 minutes it becomes a bit too dark (especially in person). I wouldn't dare use it on my under eye because it just will not match. My friend with similar skin tone actually purchases 16N Fair-Light Neutral and mixes it with Light-Medium to get the right color. As for me, I rather just stick to my Clé de Peau's Radiant Corrector for Eyes.

At any rate, one of the great things about Tarte Shape Tape Concealer is that it comes in many shades. If you do decide to pick one up, I recommend checking them out in-store first. Use the tester to swatch on your arm and shop around for at LEAST 20 minutes, and then you will see it's true shade after oxidation. If you do manage to find a shade that works for you, it really is a concealer that just won't quit. I hope this helps!

This blog was started to help other fellow NC37s on their quest to finding the perfect BB cushion. Being a big fan of K-Beauty, it is very difficult to find cushions darker than shade 23. It can be quite the gamble ordering makeup from overseas without an inkling of what that may look like, or even if it is beneficial for certain skin types. I am willing to buy these products, swatch, and test them in order to help others make an informed decision.
