Silk Naturals

I do not know which of these to get. In your opinion which is better? Which one makes your pores appear smaller better?? That is a main concern of mine!! Thanks!

I have to say- that the Oil Control Blur, used in context with other products I use, do a far better job of controlling the oilies than anything I've ever used. That said, if you hate pink, don't get the tinted- get the untinted.

I use my products in conjunction with the SN foundation, Oil Control Primer Powder....and I use Camellia Rose's Pearl Cream underneath it all. So far, it's been a big winning combination for me.

perfecting powder works so much better for me, but i have dry-ish skin. i *think* (but this is just my own theory) that blur has more silica, which my skin does not like. blur did not make my pores appear smaller, but PP definitely does.

I have oily skin with visible pores. Although I like the oil-controlling capabilities of the Oil Control Blur, I find that the original perfecting Powder is still the best as far as the "blurring" effect goes. I use the PP as my finishing powder and just dust a bit of Oil Control Blur on top for oil control.

I have all the PPs and the Blurs.

The untinted Blur and Oil Control Blur looks like white powder but goes on invisible.

The tinted Oil Control Blur is a light tan shade that does give my skin a tint. Its perfect for when I mix my foundation a little too light.

i did find that the oil control blur really keeps the oilies at bay (I like in humid Singapore). However, it does have more of a "dusty, grainy" feel compared to the PPs.

Still, I pick the Oil Control Blur because after a few minutes, it settles with my skin's natural oils and the powdery, dusty feel is gone.

For me, its a matter of situation. If I'm just going out in the evening for dinner, its PP. If I am off to work and I need my face to last the whole nine yards, then its OCB.

I have been around a while, and I have always been big fan of the Perfecting Powders. I think it is mostly habit. I don't have my jar of blur with my daily makeup........maybe it is time to pull it out!

My guess is that I will like the Blur better in the summer months when my skin is not so dry.

I'm a PP girl too- it was my first recipe ever, and I still love it. I use it over foundation- if I'm skipping foundation I go for just Blur. It kind of depends on your oil level- the Blurs have more silica in them- which does give a nice effect, but it really absorbs oil. The Perfecting Powders have mica in them to help diffuse light but without as much oil absorption.

It's a your mileage may vary type of thing...samples of both probably wouldn't hurt.

I actually like to use a blend of both. I find that the Blur really takes out the fine lines and texture issues whereas the PP obscures the pores better. Since I have both issues, I blend them, and because I have dry skin, I mix in some silk powder, too. HTH... if your main concern is pore visibility, I suspect PP will work best.
