Blur and Perfecting Powder

Hi Jen,

Please could you tell me what difference is between the blur powders and the perfecting powders?

Thank you

It is ingredeints mostly.

The finish on Blur has no sheen, but I would not call it matte. It has the most capability of producing the look of a smooth surface, but I would not recommend it for very dry skin.

There are some of the ingredients from Blur in the Perfecting Powders. Here, there is a slight sheen to the product with the most sheen being in Tempt Tryst, Dait Bait somewhere in the middle, and Love Lure and the Translucent version have very little sheen.

I like them both, but can't use the Blur in the winter months as my skin is pretty dry then and can't really cope....I tend to stick with the Perfecting Powders. Someone with oilier skin might have better luck with Blur.

Hi Jen,

I have combination skin, oily at T-zone and dry at cheeks. Could you advise which Finishing Powder will be worth a try? I am looking at one with good oil control. :)

TIA~

The ones you choce on the ither thread looked like great options for you. I think you should sample them both before deciding. There is some smount of oil control in Date Bait, but the Oil Control Blur will obviously have a little more oil control, but none of the slight sheen of Date Bait. I think Date Bait is my favorite, but then I don't have the oil issues much.

The Perfecting Glows might also be an option if you are looking for something kind of glowy that has some amount of oil control.

;) Sounds good to get both.. Just another question, would it be too thick to use both FP? One to control the oil, the other for the radiance? And plus a perfecting glow for contouring areas.. Sounds like a too heavy makeup??

Use one as a primer, the other as a finisher. Try to do light layers with a fluffy brush, and it won't be too heavy.

Awesome! So can I say it's Tinted Blur Oil Control as primer, Date Bait as finisher and either Crystal Perfecting Glow or Angel as highlighter??

Anyway babe, what's a Vegan Date Bait? :?

Yes!

Vegan Date Bait is Date Bait minus the silk powder.
