tarte cosmetics
tarte cosmetics is a New York make-up brand, around since 1999 and now part of Kosé Corporation. Its formulas are cruelty-free, and it is best known for Shape Tape, a full-coverage concealer. The UK site covers face, eye and lip make-up plus brushes. It suits buyers who read ingredient lists, since tarte leaves out parabens, mineral oil and several other common additives.
