Bronzers can be tricky — I learned that at an early age. But then I met a little bronzer from Tarte cosmetics and life got a little smoother. I’ve been hooked on the Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder since.
The powder is the perfect shade of bronze and the container is designed so that you tap out just the right amount each time you use it. My skin is annoyingly dry, and the bronzers I’ve used in the past have always seemed to highlight my dry skin, not hide it.
Tarte’s Smooth Operator is different. It glides on evenly and actually helps to balance skin by reducing dryness and flakiness. The end result is a matte and shine-free finish with soft, hydrated skin.
I even did a little test and pressed some of the Tarte bronzing powder between my fingers, then compared it to how my old bronzing powder felt to the touch. The Tarte formula felt silky and weightless; the texture is probably the biggest differentiator from other similar bronzers.
Most importantly, this micronized clay powder is one that will never leave your skin with that orange, fake-baked look. The color is the perfect shade of a natural sun-kissed, glowing bronze that won’t make you look like you’re trying too hard to look tan.
