I personally don’t think so. Actually, when I worked at Sephora, I would recommend Tarte over BareMinerals to clients who inquired. But BareMinerals is a better option for those with specific skin types and preferences. For example, those who have oily skin and want a powder foundation would likely prefer BareMinerals over Tarte. The BareMinerals powder foundation also has better coverage than the Tarte powder foundations.
