Blur...final step?!

Post by hotmama » Mon Apr 27, 2009 1:19 am

Hi...I seem to have had a lapse in recalling the order in which everything should go on...mainly Blur. Is this my final step after blush? Or after foundation then Blur the blush? Which order do you guys use?

Hi HotMama!
I'm so not a reference as far as makeup application goes, but I use foundation, Blur (oil control for me :) ) and then blush, I wouldn't want anything to "erase" the color of my blush, I always use the blush last.
But this might not be THE way to do it.
Actually, I think THE way to do it is the way that works best for you ;)

It really is what works best for you. Some wear Blur under foundation, too. Not that you need another option to consider.......

I just tried that for the first time, and went back to using PP on top. I love it! I need the oil absorption of Blur, but I love the smooth feeling from PP. And yeah, I add PP after I do my blush as I tend to go heavy handed due to the awful lighting in my bathroom. Clownface never looked prettier than with SN blushes :D

"Blur under foundation..." That's an idea! I'm going to try that tomorrow morning. I put on blush last. Like Anne, I like to retain the pigmentation of my blush. Unless of course I'm too heavy handed that morning, then I just use the original PP to smoothen out the edges.
