Results you may expect from using Tarte Shape Tape Hydrating Foundation:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Tarte Shape Tape Hydrating Foundation:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 7.9 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Tarte Shape Tape Hydrating Foundation has a moisturizing rating of 7.9 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%) and Butylene Glycol (est. ≈2.5%), and a moderate occlusivity of 5.8 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Dimethicone (est. ≈9.0%).

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Tarte Shape Tape Hydrating Foundation has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does not generate the anti-wrinkle rating.

Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, could deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.
