While searching for makeup bases, I discovered an intriguing product called the Tarte Double Duty Beauty Tape Hydrating Primer at Sephora. The name is quite long, but I was immediately drawn to the word 'tape' as it suggested the product would adhere to the skin like tape. The texture is very fluid and incredibly hydrating, gliding on smoothly without any stickiness. What impressed me the most was the lovely coconut scent that lingered throughout wear. The Tarte primer boasts a soft, dewy glow and is perfect for my dry skin, leaving it feeling supple and nourished.

To be honest, I prioritize evening out my skin tone, and the Tarte primer seems to focus more on skin texture rather than coverage or blemish-masking. If I had tested it in the store, I might not have chosen it.

The Tarte Tape Primer does not provide the same tone-evening or color-correcting benefits as other makeup bases, so it's best used in conjunction with a buildable foundation or BB cream to achieve a flawless, perfected complexion. However, its ability to deeply hydrate and create a smooth, supple canvas makes it an excellent choice for those with dry skin or textural concerns who struggle with makeup application. I would highly recommend it for my fellow dry-skinned beauties.
