I ordered 2 blurring bomb powders. The universal and the number 9. The number 9 was way too dark. I'll take full ownership for that. However, the universal was worse. It made my pores stand out. It also turned me gray. I thought perhaps it may be a slight learning curve. So I tried it with multiple complexion products (concealers, tinted moisturizers, etc) that I use daily and I couldn't make it work. Then I took a photo less than an hour after applying the blur bomb... my T zone was shiny and my pores were more noticeable than ever. $70 down the drain. Going forward I will go into Sephora where I can return products that don't work.

This product solved a big time problem for me. Makeup time is used to be a scary time for me, now, it is a happy time as I don't spend so much time to get the beat on and it stays put all day long, it is the best product I have used so far!

I have insanely oily skin. This balm actually keeps my skin looking fresh for hours. In the attached picture it had been about 8hrs since I’d initially applied my makeup! I didn’t have to do any touch ups. With any other product, I’d have been oil, slick city, but this actually kept my skin looking really nice.

I use as my base primer before I apply my foundation. It leaves a nice glow while controlling my oily skin. Should have tried the number 8 but the malls don’t carry samples and ordering online is a hassle.

I waited a few months for the 9- Balm powder to come in and it wasn't a good match. I seen women much darker than me use this shade but it's a No for me. I seen these women using it on Tic Tok just to cover hyperpigmentation and it looked like they had flawless skin. I have really bad hyperpigmentation under my eyes and that's what I wanted it for. You can tell I have makeup on under my eyes. Maybe I need the number 10 Balm powder.
