TRANSLUCENT SETTING POWDER SUPERDRUG SKIN
TRANSLUCENT SETTING POWDER SUPERDRUG FULL

I find the Revolution one a little less thick and less drying. I would say the Tarte concealer is a lot thicker so it’s easy to go overboard and end up looking a bit dry. I’ve mentioned my under eye dark circles a number of times and I know I can always rely on both concealers to cover them up better than most others.

Another thing that the Revolution one does, and I’ll struggle to explain this so bear with me, is that when you put the applicator back in the tube, if you don’t twist it to close it straight away it pops back up and I always end up getting concealer all over my fingers! Does that make sense? It irks me.īoth concealers are praised for being super full coverage and I would definitely agree with that. The applicator is also bigger than most concealers but also can get messy just like the Tarte one. The Revolution packaging is pretty similar, but is quite a bit shorter. One thing I’ll say about the packaging is that it can get messy! The applicator picks up a lot of product which doesn’t get scraped off as it’s pulled out of the tube. It has definitely inspired more brands launching concealer since then. It comes in a thicker tube with a chunky doe foot applicator.

The Tarte packaging was quite unusual for a concealer. The supersize one retails for just £7 and is available here.

Revolution have just launched a supersized version of their concealer which contains over 3 times more product (13ml) so I will definitely be buying that one next time I need to repurchase. I find I need a lot less of the Tarte one so it has lasted me absolutely ages, however with daily use of the Revolution one I have repurchased several times over. There is a big difference in quantities – you get 10ml of product in the Tarte tube and just 4ml in the Revolution one. I find that in-store most shades are either sold out or have been opened (why are Superdrug shoppers so annoying?!) so now that I know my shades, I buy online. You can also buy direct from the Revolution Beauty website here. The Revolution Conceal and Define is a lot more accessible for us here in the UK, you can buy it from Superdrug in-store and online here and it costs just £4. It’s not available on its own from QVC, it comes with the Tarte beauty sponge – which is a good sponge to be fair. The Tarte Shape Tape is available from QVC here and costs £28.02 plus £3.95 postage. They have also launched more shades since bringing the total up to 25.

Upon release, Tarte launched 11 shades which were heavily weighted towards lighter skin tones (and then launched the foundation which had all sorts of uproar for the same reason), whereas Revolution released a more acceptable 18 which were varied and widely inclusive. Very quickly it was hailed as Tarte Shape Tape’s younger, cheaper sibling. Then probably a year later, Revolution (official dupe masters) released the Conceal and Define Concealer. It didn’t release in the UK straight away but then QVC graced us with it a few months later. I may be a bit late with this post as this dupe has been talked about for a while now but I’m sure I’ve still got some readers who’d like to see a side by side comparison and review of two of the current most talked about concealers, so here it is.Ĭast your mind back to 2016 when the Tarte Shape Tape concealer was released and the beauty community went crazy for it.
