Tarte Smooth Operator Finishing Powder - my review!

Deconstruction

I got a sample of the Tarte Smooth Operator Micronized Clay Finishing Powder (loose powder) in a recent 500-point Sephora gift.  I have very oily skin and am always greasy by mid-day no matter what I use, I am just used to using blotting papers by now.  I decided to try the Tarte powder earlier this week on top of my regular makeup to set it - WOW!  Literally no shine at all for ages.  A tiny touch up in the afternoon, and I didn't need any blotting papers or anything all day!

So if you have a problem with oily skin, you might want to test this product out.

It's fantastic and lasts forever.  I bought a full size one in either October or November and have a ton of it left.

I got the same VIB bonus and loved all of the stuff in the kit, but I had such a hard time using this stuff cuz there is only 2 teeny holes for it to come out of! I can't get enough out to really make a difference, and when I tried it once by removing the sifter, it just went everywhere because its so finely milled. I may try transferring this to an old BM container I still have laying around empty and see if that helps.

Thanks, I think I'll give it a try!

Is this same one that they have in translucent and one with a bronzer?

I got a Tarte powder with a bronzer (its really light) and I think it works great - like it more than MUFE.

Thank you! I will definitely be checking this out as I am not really happy with my current touch up powder.
