That's a great tip! I hadn't thought to use a brush with it. In the pics I've seen of you Brandy, you have amazing skin! You always look amazing!

For everyone wanting to see more of Brandy's work, she sent me another look and I'm working on it! Hopefully very soon, it's also really pretty! I love that Brandy's looks use affordable makeup and are so pretty and wearable!

@Deb & @Christine I am actually obsessed with Miracle Blur. At first I was like another primer but after trying it…in luv! I have very oily skin, large pores, uneven skin, plus mature skin. I use either my beauty blender damp, or a foundation brush. I apply it after I wash my face skipping moisturizer. You only need just a little, then I pat in on like I do my foundation. No swiping /smearing. I do find my skin look better due to the compliments I receive. On pics I find I don't need a filter. That's where the blur effect work when taking pictures. But it smooth out wrinkles, pores and make my uneven skin look flawless. Give it another try 🙂

Thanks for the tips Deb! I tried it yesterday (wow, isn't that consistency a bit thick and strange?) and I think I used a bit too much and I smeared it on. I was afraid to try it today! I'm going to try less and do the patting thing. I have some bigger pores near my nose that I like to hide if I can, but I'm convinced it will be any better than any other primer. I'll update in a post!

Hi Christine. If you don't have a problem with silicones, you will probably like the Miracle Blur. I started using it because I have lupus tumidus and look for any and all ways I can to incorporate SPF into my products. I tend to like silicone based primers because I have large pores and they work best for me for filling in the pores. I will tell you that as far as the blurring effect, I don't really see it. I am 56 yrs old and the Miracle Blur works no better, or worse, than any of the other silicone based primers I use. I know you are considerably younger so it may be more effective for you in that regard. Be warned, it is a little tricky to work with. It took me a few tries to figure out the right amount because it kept pilling on me. Turns out I was using a little too much and I wasn't patting it on, but trying to smooth it over my face like I do with my Tarte, etc. It doesn't apply quite the same but it's easy to figure out after one or two tries. Just a few little tips and "real person" experiences for you 🙂

Magical make-up wizard. That should be Brandys new name. Amazing!
