We feel like Goldilocks. Sometimes, foundation can be too heavy for our skin. Other times, a simple sweep of moisturizer doesn’t provide enough coverage. The Celebutante Sisters found something that’s just right: tarte smooth operator oil-free tinted moisturizer with spf 20.

The company’s best seller is back with 5 brand spanking new shades. Now, with nine shades in all, it’s easier than ever to find the bottle that works best for you.

The formula may look thick in the container, but once you whip it in your hands, the light as fluff lotion turns into sheer bliss on your skin.

We smoothed smooth operator evenly over our face. One thing is for sure…it made our skin feel moisturized! Must be tarte’s special mix of skinvigorating™ ingredients: things like vitamins A, C, and E, rosemary, lemon and apple extract.

The formula’s thin wash of color provided the perfect base for our makeup. By filling in small, fine lines, it also made it easier to apply things like eyeliner. In the summer, we can only imagine how perfect this hint of tint will look with a pop of pink on our cheeks, a few coats of mascara, and a delicious berry stain on our lips.

The color we picked, Agent 02, matched our skin tone perfectly. Because the potion is so lightweight, there were no telltale makeup lines around our jaw or brown bones.

We liked combining it with our every day moisturizer for an added boost of hydration. OK, you can tell we’re fans, but don’t just take our word for it. We passed a sample along to a gal who’s looking for a new multi-tasking beauty product:

tarte’s smooth operator natural oil-free tinted moisturizer has been a dream come true! Like all tarte products, it is free of things like synthetic dyes and fragrances and mineral oil…and is great for sensitive skin. It didn’t clog my pores at all! During these long winter months, it has also been giving me the extra moisture I so desperately need, but without making my skin feel dry or tight. It feels amazingly light on my skin, but still manages to give my face a smoother, more even tone. It is the perfect base for my makeup, and with the added bonus of an SPF 20, I can see myself using it year round!
