Tarte Vegan Foundation Guide

Looking for a list of the Tarte vegan foundations? This guide has you covered! Logical Harmony helps make cruelty-free easy!

Tarte is cruelty-free with vegan options, but what Tarte foundations are vegan? Tarte makes a variety of BB creams, CC creams, liquid foundations, powder foundations, and stick foundations with a range of coverage types available. The Amazonian Clay Foundation is probably their most well known, but they have so many options. Their foundations can be found on their own website, Ulta, Sephora, Dermstore, and at QVC too.

While not all Tarte foundations are vegan-friendly, a lot of them are. In this post, you’ll find a list of the vegan foundation options along with details about the coverage, shade range, and popular thoughts on each. One area where Tarte can improve overall is in the shade range. A lot of these foundations have a very limited shade range. Even the foundation formulas with a larger selection could use improvement. I hope that Tarte works on this in the future to become a more inclusive brand.
