To quote (and then paraphrase) the great Sade, "No need to ask, he's [she's] a smooth operator." Except her charms aren't working on me. 
The new Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Eye Base ($22) may be a touch too light for this brown girl, but lighter lasses, listen up. This pretty pink primer just might shine for you.
The warm yellow undertones in my skin don't agree with Smooth Operator (it turns gray on me), but that shouldn't happen if you like the way you look in shades of cool-toned pink.
NOTE: I'll update this post a little later today with swatches showing how the product looks on lighter skin (I'm curious too).
Released as a QVC (yep, that QVC) exclusive last December, Smooth Operator Eye Base looks to me like a hybrid of two other products, Benefit Eye Bright Pencils and Urban Decay Primer Potion. It combines the light pink color of Eye Bright with UDPP's fluffy, smooth texture.
Tarte refers to it as a brightening eyeshadow base designed to prevent shadows from smudging and creasing, and increase how long they last on the skin.
As you can from the name, its claim to fame is the Amazonian clay it contains, which Tarte claims has "intuitive" properties. They say it's able to adjust to the wearer's skin. If need be, it'll hydrate dry spots into nonexistence, or absorb oily patches to eliminate shine.
Now that's some smart clay.
