Good Idea, but Didn't Work for Me
Very few Tarte products pass through my hands which I don't love, but their "Smooth Operator Illuminating Serum" is one which I'm sorry I purchased. It is replete with skin-loving ingredients, but I was hesitant to use it on my very fair skin. It was creamy, but the color came off looking artificial, with far too much of an orange base. I would try it over tanned skin, but I no longer tan (quit the sun and tanning beds years ago). I would not repurchase this again.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Gorgeous glow
I was SO skeptical when I got a sample size of this in a free set from Sephora, but I tried it out one day just to see and it's amazing. I have fair skin, so I'm always nervous about something like this looking too dark on me, but it doesn't at all. I smoothed it all over my face and it gave me the prettiest, healthiest looking glow I've ever seen from a makeup product. I used it as a primer under...read moreneath my foundation and it was just beautiful. It doesn't feel too heavy on my skin, either. I need to remember to use this more often because it's a very nice product. I'm pretty sure once I run out of my small tube, I'll be buying a full size of this. Illuminating, indeed!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful

Lack of Sleep? Buy This!
As a mom to little ones lack of sleep is a daily occurrence at our house. I received a free sample from Sephora; and applied this one day when I was feeling a bit glum. Well, turn that frown upside down it did. It works well to brighten up the face. I applied it over my mineral foundation. A tiny bit goes a long way. I'll be buying a full size after my sample is gone. I've been using it (sparingly...read more) for the past month and a half and I still have quite a bit left. I highly recommend this product -- especially if you want to fake awake :PThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful
