To open your Tarte Shape Tape Concealer, simply twist the cap counter-clockwise until it loosens and separates from the base of the tube. This will reveal the product's wand applicator, ready for use.
How to Open and Access Your Tarte Shape Tape Concealer
Tarte Shape Tape Concealer is designed with user convenience in mind, featuring a straightforward twist-off cap.
Step-by-Step Opening Guide
- Grip the Tube Firmly: Hold the main body of the concealer tube securely with one hand.
- Twist the Cap: With your other hand, grasp the cap and rotate it counter-clockwise. You'll feel it loosen after a few turns.
- Pull Up: Once the cap is fully untwisted, gently pull it straight up and away from the tube. The attached doe-foot applicator will emerge, loaded with product.
- First-Time Use Tip: For a brand new concealer, you might hear a slight "pop" sound as you open it for the first time. This is normal and indicates the seal has been broken.
Essential Actions for Using Your Concealer
Here’s a quick guide to managing your Tarte Shape Tape:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Open the Concealer | Twist the cap counter-clockwise and pull straight up to reveal the wand. |
| Apply the Product | Use the large doe-foot applicator to strategically place the product. For brightening and lifting effects, consider applying three small dots above your cheekbone and three small dots along your forehead. Be careful not to extend the cheekbone dots too far down. |
| Close the Concealer | After use, reinsert the wand into the tube and twist the cap clockwise until it feels secure. Ensuring it is properly closed "locks it back into place" and prevents the creamy formula from drying out. |
Maximizing Your Tarte Shape Tape Application
Once you've opened your concealer, its full-coverage, long-lasting formula can be used for various purposes:
- Concealing Blemishes: Dot a small amount directly onto imperfections and gently pat with a damp beauty sponge or your ring finger.
- Brightening Under-Eyes: Draw a triangle shape or a few dots under your eyes and blend outwards for a lifted look.
- Contouring & Highlighting: Beyond concealing, Shape Tape is excellent for highlighting. For a sculpted, luminous finish, follow the earlier tip of applying small dots above your cheekbones and along your forehead. This helps to define and illuminate your features.
