Tarte's first product was a cheek stain, launched by a founder who was studying for a psychology PhD at Columbia University. Japan's KOSE Corporation bought about 93.5 percent of the company in March 2014 for $135 million.
#17 of 1,070 is the rank for a $5.74M headline. This leaves out 14 listings the source prices unreliably ($2.88M, 33% of the source total of $8.63M). The rank uses the narrower figure.
173 listings sold, led by BB blur tinted moisturizer SPF at 12%, with the top three at 33%. At $33.39 an average sale, 172K units made the total. Affiliates drove 90%, LIVE 15%, and the brand's own account 1.6%.
Over 13 to 19 October, the last 7 complete days, Tarte Cosmetics brought in $1.82M, down 10% on the 7 days before ($2.03M). Across the tracked brands the same comparison was unchanged; those days include a platform-wide surge. That is within 20 points of the tracked brands, so no brand-specific trend shows.
