Mix Beach Bunny + OC Blur??

Post by royalgoddessbeth » Sat Jun 27, 2009 2:35 pm

I love the Tempt Tryst perfecting powder, but I also really love the oil control properties of the Blur powder. I would really LOVE a Blur powder that is tinted like TT.

But, alas- that isn't on the horizon for right now. So, my question is can one mix these two together to achieve a similar result? I figure that the Beach Bunny is a bit more pigmented than TT, so which is why I'm suggesting that.

I would try mixing a little bit of Beach Bunny into OC Blur. I have both products and have not thought about mixing.

I usually apply one layer of OC Blur in the T zone and then blush or bronzer. (You can use under or over foundation. I have tried both and prefer over.) I use the TT perfecting powder last and apply all over face. This works well for me as I have some oil control, pores look smaller and more refined around nose but I have that glowy look.

Well, I'm the type that likes to combine two steps into one, if I can. I mix green pigment powder in the OC Primer and tone down a little redness with that- and that seems to work well. I'm about out of OC primer, though. I'm going to get a full-size zinc powder and try mixing the green pigment powder in that- and start using that as a primer- because I've heard of really favorable results using the zinc powder as a primer- it has very good OC properties and a lot of other benefits to boot.

I almost always grab the TT because of the color- it just makes everything look gorgeous.

I also adore TT; not exactly the same but I mixed some plain ol' silica powder with TT to make an oil controling version, which works really well. It does become much lighter in colour but you still get that lovely golden sheen :) so the Beach Bunny idea is a good call in terms of depth of colour 8-) , will try that next time.
