Description

Tarte Smooth Operator Micronized Clay Finishing Powder perfects and mattifies skin while locking makeup in place all day. The breakthrough complex reduces the appearance of pores instantly and by 20% in just 4 weeks. This completely colorless and universal silky powder is perfect for all skin types and tones. Amazonian clay, nature's most perfect ingredient, acts as a total skin balancer by reducing dryness and flakiness, improving clarity and texture, and removing surface oil to mattify skin for a soft focus and flawless finish; all while replenishing and rehydrating skin. This skin-saving powder can even be used alone as a treatment to reap all the benefits of Amazonian clay.

Clinical results:

  • 20% reduction in the appearance of pores after 4 weeks
    Skinvigorating ingredients:
  • proprietary pore minimizing compound clinically proven to reduce the number and size of pores by 20% after 4 weeks
  • Amazonian clay: this nutrient-rich, multi-tasking and total-skin-balancing clay reduces dryness and flakiness, improves skin clarity, elasticity, firmness, and texture while removing oil from the skin's surface for smooth application and wear

            I went to buy my usual Mineral Veil, but Ulta was out of stock. Andrew suggested Tarte and gave me a make-over. He is wonderful and so is Tarte Smooth Operator. I'll never go back to the other product.

                    I have oily skin and I wear this product alone & over Tarte foundation. I apply this powder at 7:00 a.m. & do not need to reapply. It controls shine all throughout the day.

                      I use this as finishing powder over the Tarte 12 hour foundation. It goes on smooth and helps control shine and stays on without settling into lines more than other brands claim to do.
