Tarte Smooth Operator Finishing Powder - my review!

Deconstruction · March 2012

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.
