Comments about Tarte Cosmetics Smooth Operator Micronized Clay Finishing Powder with PM20:
The product has cleared, minimized and refined my formerly increasingly large pores. It has controlled shine all day, like nothing I've ever used.I absolutely love the product itself, but the packaging is so bad that I spend an inordinate amount of time trying to get enough on my brush. That said, it is well worth being resourceful. I transfered the product to an empty mineral makeup container. The coverage is minimal,but it does calm appearance of redness, a bit.I love the refined, natural look. Everything else looks like a mask, in comparison. I just moisturize a lot, before applying. Amazing stuff.Pricey, but worth it.

Comments about Tarte Cosmetics Smooth Operator Micronized Clay Finishing Powder with PM20:
Love the finishing effect of this powder! Have been a long-time BE mineral veil user, but I think I might like this better. Very finely milled. Gives complexion an ethereal glow...yet it's matte. Only reason I haven't given it 5/5 is that my sensitive skin has been very dry lately and the jury's still out as to whether this is too drying for my currently very dry skin.

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.
