Tarte Cosmetics

Founded in 1999 by Maureen Kelly, we specialize in high-performance natural makeup and beauty products. We are the #1 concealer and mascara brand in the U.S.

Our key products include Shape Tape™ concealer, tartelette™ tubing mascara, Big Stick Energy™ duo, CC undereye corrector, glow wardrobe highlighting eye & cheek palette, smolderEYES™ shadow liner, blush tape™ liquid blush, face tape™ foundation, and maracuja juicy lip plump.

We are cruelty-free, with 85% vegan products and all our skincare is vegan. Our products are formulated without parabens, mineral oil, or phthalates. We use naturally derived ingredients like Amazonian clay, maracuja passion fruit, seaberry, açaí, snow mushroom, and prickly pear.

Our products are available in over 20 countries in stores. Tarte.com ships to more than 50 countries worldwide.

In 2017, we launched heart to tarte, our 501©(3) nonprofit. We also support responsible sourcing, such as an all-female maracuja cooperative in the Rainforest.

Our mission is to create cruelty-free, effective, and easy-to-use beauty products packed with good-for-you ingredients, without compromise. We aim to break down beauty boundaries, shatter stereotypes, and promote kindness.

Our core values include high-performance natural products, cruelty-free formulas, and a commitment to giving back. Doing good is central to our identity. We support causes like female empowerment, underserved communities, environmental conservancy, animal rescue, disaster relief, and health & wellness initiatives.

We have a team of 51-200 employees.

We foster a friendly, fun, fast-paced, and highly collaborative work environment. Here, creativity thrives, individuality is celebrated, and big ideas are encouraged.

Our team culture is results-obsessed, with a ‘hustle mode: on’ approach. We are ‘locked in’ to tasks and maintain an ‘I got this’ energy, reflecting optimism, creativity, and a positive attitude.

For full-time employees, we offer generous paid time off, a robust holiday calendar, paid vacation, summer Fridays, birthdays off, and volunteer time.

We provide medical, dental, and vision coverage, along with a 401(k) plan with matching contributions. Employees have access to health and wellness programs and gym/wellness reimbursements (including Gympass and a sweat equity program).

Additional perks include annual makeup gratis ($450+), 50% employee discounts on tarte.com, paid parental leave for all parents, pet insurance, and commuter benefits.

We also offer team give-back initiatives and networking opportunities for interns.
