Great Product!

Quick Take: fabulous, clean, long-lasting
LOVE this BB cream. A little bit of It goes a long way and it stays on all day!! I would give it 5 stars, but I have large pores and it makes them stand out more....I started to use a regular primer before this and that helps to hide my pores better.

Review 2 for BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen

So-so
-05.22.13
Quick Take: drying
It works well as SPF and primer, but unfortunately the residual texture is not flattering to my dry skin. I get flaky from it so I started mixing it with my moisturizer and regular foundation. That's tree products to accomplish all of the things this single tube promises.
I also think I am between shades, so this ended up being too light.

Review 3 for BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen
sharena
Location:Seattle, WA
I cannot say enough good things
-05.22.13
Quick Take: long wearing, amazing
I have combination/oily skin with a very oily T-zone. I wear a liquid foundation that gets set with a powder, and normally I have to start blotting and touching up around lunchtime and by the end of the day, even my most long wearing foundation is looking a little... worn. I first was introduced to this product through a deluxe sample. Initially, I was very skeptical because of the whole "BB Cream" hype (I never found any to be worthwhile), but I love Tarte so I figured I'd try it out. It's amazing. My skin feels GREAT. It moisturizes the drier areas of my face and controls the oil in my T-zone. I use it as a primer under my normal foundation and powder (Makeup Forever Matte Velvet + and HD Microfinish Powder) don't have to blot all the time and my makeup stays PUT - even after working a full 10 hour day and going to the gym, my face looks great. The best part is that it's all natural and I can wear it by itself on the weekends for a little SPF and coverage. I highly recommend purchasing this.

Review 4 for BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen
erinmakeuplover
Location:Peterborough, ON
Tarte is the champion!
-05.22.13
Quick Take: amazballs!
Of all my BB cream adventures, Tarte has CLEARLY come out on top. This product BLEW MY MIND! It evens out my skin tone (flawless enough to use without foundation, even diffuses small blemishes and acne scars) and doesn't settle in my fine lines. The soft, matt finish doesn't feel sticky and holds up for most of the day...maybe not 12 hours, but 8 for sure. I have a fairy pale complextion and found the light shade perfect for me, but have purchased the medium for summer, as a sport a bit offake tan, but will also purchase the light shade in the fall. It is SUPER blendable and after trying all the samples I can say that they all melt seamlessly into the skin. I also find that I need half the amount of product as I did with other lower end BB creams. The sample size gave me 2 applications. This BB cream has become a holy grail product in less than a week!

Review 5 for BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen
sherrybgood
Location:San Mateo, CA
Not for the large-pored
-05.21.13
This glides on so smooth and feels terrific, but it didn't do well on my skin for some reason. It seemed to slide off by the end of the day. Maybe it would stay on if I moisturized before application? Although I thought that was the whole point of BB cream, that it moisturized too...
The biggest problem I had was how the cream went into my pores in my T-zone. I always knew I had large pores, but this REALLY made them stand out. It looked awful. And now I have a complex about my pores, so that was useful!
Won't be buying again. If you have large pores, I also recommend you steer clear.

Review 6 for BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen

Not worth it
-05.21.13
This just didn't do it for me. It dried out my skin really badly and just sat on the top of my skin and made me look old; I'm 21. I was really hoping for a great product after reading so many positive reviews. I went back and got the Too Faced tinted BB cream and I'm in LOVE with it.

Awesome
-05.21.13
I love this BB Cream. It is soothing going on. The light is a perfect match for my skin. It does not feel like you fave anything on your skin, but it covers. I use it with translucent powder and its perfect.

Review 9 for BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen

Location:Salt Lake City, UT
Can't believe I switched
-05.20.13
I was VERY happy with another primer I was using for years.Then I got a makeover at Sephora and the artist used this primer. I really liked it so I bought some to try for a few days on my own. I'm hooked! I wasn't in the market for a new primer, but now I'm switching to this one (I still need to use up the old one as I spent good $$ on it, but I never seem to find myself using it). It has a great oil-free moisturizer (I have very oily skin and it doesn't cause shine), a little color which is a nice base for my foundation, and and makes my foundation go on like a dream. I think the hint of color and the way my foundation goes on so smoothly is what make it so much better than my previous product.

Review 10 for BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen
kim7409
Location:Boston, MA
Amazing!
-05.19.13
Quick Take: build-able coverage, soft, silky, pore minimizer, non-drying
This is unlike any BB cream I have ever tried...it is so soft and silky when applying, and the coverage is easily build-able. I got mine in the shade light, because medium looked pretty dark in Sephora & I'm semi-tan so I figured going with a shade lighter would be better than darker. It does look a lot darker when your putting it on, like the light shade to me looked like a medium shade but after it settles it looks amazing so don't be afraid if it looks kind of dark at first. I love it because I need more coverage and average BB creams don't give me that, but after I apply the first layer with my beauty blender I take some more and put it where I need to conceal some redness and I'm set to go. It lasts for a very long time, gives you a flawless but not flat finish, and it defiantly minimizes pores It's really worth the money!! When I get a little more tan, I'm going to have to get the shade medium!

This BB cream is light enough for my very fair skin (the "fair" shade), many BB creams do not come in a light enough shade for me. It goes on silky but light, and stays put all day. I have sensitive skin that is prone to breakouts and have had no problems using this BB cream. A great product.

Glad I tried it.
-05.17.13
I have never worn foundation, but wanted to give this whole bb cream thing a try, especially since it has an SPF. After doing some research this is the one i decided to try. It definitely evens my skin tone while looking natural and not heavy at all. I will repurchase.

Great BB cream!
-05.17.13
This BB cream definately meets my expectations, It's creamy, goes on well and offers great coverage. It is rather dark though (darker than i thought it will be) so keep that in mind. I have very sensitive skin and this does not break me out at all.

Review 15 for BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen
Jayne01
Location:Edmonton Ab
Magic pore eraser...
-05.16.13
Quick Take: light, covers pores, awesome
This stuff is really awesome. After I'd almost finished the tube I had enough points to get a couple free laura mercier primers which I was stoked about so that I didn't have to buy more, and I could replace them with this bb cream. That did not work aaaaat all. I noticed that my make up kept settling into my pores and I couldn't figure out why it kept looking so horrible. I went back to using this BB cream as my base and voila! I wanted to try something new but honestly I don't think I will ever use a different primer/base because NOTHING I've found covers pores as well, and as long as this (I've tried too faced, hourglass, mufe, laura mercier, benefit's porefessional, smashbox, sephora primer...etc). This stuff is awesome!!

I love that this is SPF 30, but I am still feeling my way around with application. It covers very well and I don't as much concealer with it, but it seems like it looks a little heavy, though I don't use much at all.

Review 18 for BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen
Not for my skin...
-05.16.13
I did not like this BB Primer at all. I like the concept of it, but not the actual performance of the product on my skin. I have oily skin and this dried my skin out, settled in my pores and smile lines, and it broke me out. :( What I do like about it is that it felt smooth and silky on my skin and it offers a nice coverage while doubling as a sunscreen and primer. If you have larger pores and are prone to breaking out, skip this one. Otherwise, I do think this is a good product for those with normal skin.

Review 19 for BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen
designerme
Location:Robbinsville, NJ
Perfect!
-05.15.13
Quick Take: great, offering great coverage, smooth, long-lasting, flattering, the answer to quite a few of my prayers
It is an excellent product, the first one that simultaneously solves all my skin's appearance issues: oiliness, large pores, broken capillaries on my nose, acne scars. It does not solve the actual issues (it would take thousands of $ in treatments with a dr to laser zap the broken capillaries, resurface my skin and inhibit sebaceous glands), but for 6 hours after each application I look as if I had had all those procedures done, which is more than good enough for me :)

Review 20 for BB Tinted Treatment 12-Hour Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen
belass
Location:Nebraska
Great full coverage BB cream
-05.15.13
Quick Take: full coverage, long lasting, a primer, easy to use
I love this product. I'm a busy mom and sometimes I don't have time to do my makeup but with this product I can look presentable in 2 minutes. I use this BB cream and light and it is a pretty good match for my skin tone (I think it is a little darker than the Bare Minerals Fairly light foundation I use). I get really good full coverage with this product and it is easy to apply. I use it all over my face including on my eye lids and my skin looks even. A little goes a long way do the full size tube will last a long time. Since this is both a moisturizer, sunscreen and primer I can just throw on some eye liner, blush mascara and a tinted lip balm and I'm done. My eye makeup stays all day and so does my face makeup. If I need to do makeup later in the day the priming effect still works. I also have dark circles and usually need quite a bit of concealer but this BB cream hides my dark circles really well and I don't even need extra concealer. This product really shortens my routine when I need it and acts as a great base when I want to do a full face of makeup. LOVE!!
