    Great for oily skin

    This is amazing for oily skin!!! After a full day, I didn't feel like my was cakey at all, and the clay really helped to absorb excess oils. The coverage I would say is light to medium, not very build able. But it looked very natural on my skin! Loved it

    sadly not what i wanted it to be

    i've been looking for the perfect bb cream for a while now, and sadly i can't say this is it. I bought it a few days ago, I've been wearing it for a bit and I don't feel like it covers anything, I feel like applying a light cream, or even water would be the same...

    Perfect Lightweight Coverage

    This is my go to makeup piece if I am intending on stepping out of the house and don't want to look blah. Easy to apply, little goes a long way, and makes my skin look great and natural.

    I also love Tarte products as they are all natural.

    One bottle lasts me quite a while.

    Perfect for a non-makeup makeup look

    I bought this bb cream because I started having an uneven skin tone. I wanted some coverage but I didn't want anything heavy that made me look like I was actually wearing something on my face. This is perfect; it makes my skin look like my skin but better. It evens out my skin tone but If I'm breaking out I also need concealer. I would recommend this product to someone who wants to go for a natural makeup look and that doesn't have a lot of acne because this product has very light coverage. The only thing about this is that there is not a big selection of shades. I got the lightest color (about a shade lighter that my skin color) because the second lightest shade made my skin look yellowish.

    Lightweight, oil-free moisturizer blends easily into your skin without clogging pores, while micro-treated mineral pigments diffuse the look of fine lines and wrinkles for an even, natural-looking finish

    - Comes in 10 shades

    Infused with skin-balancing Amazonian clay and chamomile, vitamins A, C, and E, and sodium hyaluronate, this multitasking, tinted moisturizer hydrates, brightens, treats, and protects skin from UV rays and free radical damage with SPF 20. It offers lightweight, buildable coverage, making it easy to achieve a flawless complexion.

    This stuff is great before foundation because it moisturizes and cancels out any minor redness, plus has a decent SPF.

    I was looking for a tinted moisturizer with SPF, natural ingredients, oil free, fragrance free and that didn't smell like SPF, that was good for sensitive skin, controlled shine and came in real skin colours. This is it.

    It is easy to apply, blends perfectly, is sheer and yet provides even coverage... it really is the product I have always been searching for.

    All that said it is pricey selling for about $50 at sephora.

    So I've been using this for a while now and just wanted to say - I'm so glad I found you Tarte!! As much as I don't like the price, it lasts long because you don't need a lot of product to make a HUGE difference. My skin looks flawless. I am in love.

    I received a sample of this from Sephora. This light-weight oil free tinted moisturizer just goes on so smoothly and looks so natural! I have oily and sensitive skin (and at times acne prone) so I often avoid wearing any makeup because I'm worried it will all run off by the end of the day anyway and clog my pores. I didn't break out at all when using this and it lasted from morning until night! The best part was that it didn't make me itch or feel heavy, even with an SPF 20. I still got a bit shiny, but I'm sure that a little make up primer and non-comedogenic powder could fix that.

    It is quite costly, I think it's around $50 CDN, but worth the investment. I find that the cheaper brands just irritate my skin and cause breakout anyways.

    It says on the package that Smooth Operator has vitamins and natural extracts. Not sure about that, but all I know it that it actually makes my skin look good! It is a must try!

    The perfect foundation: after trying MAC, Stila, Armani, Lancome, Bobbi Brown and a host of others, this one is sheer perfection.

    Light coverage, doesn't help oily skin get oilier, great yellow-based shades in very forgiving colour matches, and even an SPF rating.

    Did not irritate or cause my acne-prone skin to break out.

    I am NC20 ish on the MAC scale and Conceal is a perfect match (I also own Facade, with is lighter and would be great on NC15-ish skin tones)..

    This foundation, when combined with Chantecaille loose powder, give me perfect skin. It has been compared to a tinted moisturizer, in texture. It's not terribly moisturizing, but the sheer coverage is similar to what you'd expect from a Tinted Moisturizer.

    Definite repurchase. This makes me want to chuck my Armani LSF in the trash.
