I was wondering if laura mercier tinted moisturizer will work well with the silk & pearl primer and the diamond perfect finish powder . Well the regular size of silk & pearl primer last long or should I get the jumbo size one. Thanks Enkore!
What if I use the Pearl & Silk powder as a veil right before I put my blush on and that's all? I don't have any scars or acne (just large pores) so I don't use foundation.
i brought the silk primer for oily skin and when i put it on during the day i still see my face getting oily around my nose. i dont know what to do ive tried to put more on my nose like i pile it on and it only helps a little. wat do you think i can do because over all it works pretty good
OMG....I found my holy grave mineral foundation....I brought the sample size....and totally love it... love it....I would work 10 hours a day....and I didn't have to do touch up doing the day...I have combination skin...and it does really absorbs the oil on my face....I'm buying the full size later....Thanks for the wonderful review.....

Just a stupid little thing *rofl* the Thumpnail from that Video is sooooo CUTE *gg* ... Produkt looks nicely ... for the Job it does the Price is ok *Ithink* maybe I´m gooing to try that when I run out of the One im using curently ...
Thanks so much for this review! I recently picked up some sample sizes from Purely Cosmetics based on your recommendation and I love them!! The Oil Absorb is works really great for me, so happy you brought it to our attention. :)
is the oil absorb something you could layer between a cream type primer and liquid foundation? i have big pores and acne scars so i need a lot of coverage and my skin is still super oily... or would this powder primer be something that could go under liquid foundation. and that "buffer" brush looks synthetic? is it just a flat top kabuki type or??? anyone with any input of these matters i would really appreciate
Catchblonde - if I were you, I'd wear it beneath the cream primer, and yes, beneath the liquid foundation. You may find with it (used in conjunction with the Silk & Pearl Powder Primer) that you don't need a cream primer. Less to clog those pores!
The brush that Koren is using in the vid (if it's the one I think it is) is a synthetic flat top foundation brush. Personally, I prefer natural hair ones, as I feel the trap and release powder better, but it's all personal preference. HTH. Robyn
I ordered last Friday and received the package yesterday, from California to Switzerland. WOW! I am really impressed by the products and the service. Thank you and of course Robyn, you made my day :-)
my pearl and silk powder sample just came and it WORKS. u guys have to try it! it filled my acne pic scars so well and it's natural too. im going to order the actual size now. thank you koren. i've finally found somehting that work for my icky skin
Impressive. Usually I can never see a change when someone films themself trying an oil absorption product, but Purely Cosmetics is impressive! I could see an immediate change, especially with the Diamond Perfect Finish. I agree, that stuff looks amazing.
Thank you for taking the time to make this honest review..I really want to try these products - they look amazing. Love your channel. YOU ARE AWESOME!!
I checked out this website and boy shipping on this site even for samples is not cheap that would be the only deterent from trying out something from this site its not all budget friendly in my opinion but based on the demonstrations very nice products
I just ordered my products Thursday and received them today! All I can say is amazing customer service with really fast shipping! I cannot wait to wake up in the morning and try all of my new makeup! I will leave reviews after I have tried out the products... admittedly I bought quite a few things! I couldn't resist :)
There is. The Silk & Pearl Powder Primer comes in both Normal-Dry and Normal-Oily versions. If you have combination skin, you'd prefer the Normal-Dry. The Silk Powder will pull moisture from the air to hydrate your skin while also absorbing excess oils. The Diamond Perfect Finish is for all skin types. Foundations can be ordered with added silk, again, perfect for combination skin!
The amount of silica used in my products is generally <5% (depending on product). Silicosis is geared towards those who work in a factory/mfg setting; those who are breathing silica dust all day. It generally doesn't apply to those who use it once a day applying makeup. Moreover, it's blended in this products w/heavier &/or stickier ingr (bentonite clay, pearl powder), so there isn't any flyaway like MUFE's HD. Those w/respiratory problems shouldn't have issues w/the amount of silica used.
Tks for info your product & how it interacts with other ingrients. I really do not like MUFE HD-it's 100% finely grd silica. Rsptfuly disagree-that you only get silicosis from being in a factory or mfg setting. I personally know ppl who have silicosis & didnt work in a factory/mfg outfit. Its the threshold effect of your body & its different for everyone. How many ppl have smoked & r ok, the next person smokes a pk of cgretts & gets cancer. Just want ppl to be aware & make a personal choice.
I find that when i use mineral makeup it tends to makle the texture of my skin course and rough looking...accentuating every fine line...and it also makes my pores look more prominent. I want to hide my pores without looking cakey, I want my skin to look smooth and airbrushed...but so far I haven't found a mineral makeupt that does this. Has anyone had the problems I've mentioned when using purely cosmetics? I am so hesitant to buy yet another mneral makeup just to be disappointed...and poorer.
I have never used a primer with the mineral makeup. It just seems that the liquid primers that I have...Urban decay and Bare escentuals ..are kind of greasy feeling. So it seemed like putting "powder" over that kind of base would turn out cakey. But...I am going to try it this weekend when I don't have to go out in public..lol. We'll see what happens.
I totally agree with you. I thought mineral products would be awesome for me as I have very oily skin, but by the end of the day I just have oil, with powder sitting on top and it turns all streaky :(
yes, you would think it would work great on oily skin. My skin is more on the dry side...so it tends to make it look flaky and rough. Maybe the oil absorb product would help you. It did seem to mattify Koren's face. I just wonder what it looks like up close.
Love this. Could you do a video more in depth on HD makeup plz. You are so smart in this stuff, I love how technical you get with makeup. And i miss the intro music.
I have a sample of the primer... Personally I don't think it's all that... It seems to make imperfections stand out too much than if I didn't use the primer. I don't know, I'll keep using up my sample and see if I notice anything different. The diamond perfect powder though... IS amazing! I used to use it as a finishing powder but it did in fact make me look whiter (I'm medium/olive), but still amazing. And so is their skin smoothing foundations. =)
i actually bought all 4 in full size: the primer, oil absorb, foundation and diamond perfect.
initially when i purchased the sample sizes it looked flawless on my skin with all 4 layers.
But since I purchased it in full size it looked powdery when I used all 4. I don't know if it's bcuz the jar is bigger & that i'm picking up more product..but now i use it w/o oil absorb in my regime, it makes my skin too dry.. only use for touch up for the shine. I have super oily skin..hope this help
wow i never seen mineral make up with polymethylsilsesquioxane aka microsilicone spheres before. this stuff is amazing, it's only a size of 6 micron (compared to microsilica 12 micron) therefore it feels so smooth on the skin.
For you ladies out there with oily skin, drink spearmint or peppermint tea, 1-3 cups a day! They are anti- androgenic and lowers free testosterone (so not good for you men out there), so it lowers oil production (seriously like 70% in 2 weeks for me) and its also good for women who have hirsutism...good luck!
I haven't paid attention to the differences in brand so much. For peppermint, I get whatever is available at the store, but for spearmint tea I have to get it online since I can't find any in the store...at iherb (dot) com. The brand I get is "Now Foods". I hope that helps!
you went and sold me. I have to try this. I'm going to get that diamond perfect finish but I'll have to use it as a primer for my foundation since I'm darker skin toned.
I have a question. I have acne prone skin and my skin is super oily. Now I have many pimples and scars. I also have large pores due to the oil. I have mineral foundations and i am wondering if the powder clogs the pores. What do you think? I know mineral foundations are much better for skin. But since it is very finely milled I think it also sinks into the pores. How do you cleans mineral makeups? Is it easier than removing liquid foundations? o
I am a religious liquid foundation lover. But i decided to let my skin breathe and purchased this stuff (mineral makeup). I find the Diamond perfect finish wayyy better than the MUFE HD powder. I love the MUFE powder but it sinks into my pores like crazy. The diamond powder doesnt for some reason.
Btw I also have super oily skin and break out occasionally.
i love the positive look on your face, it makes me happy :) and lol@alton brown, ur just amazing and i appreciate how you actually explain why we should use the compounds in the products :)
lol I had the same question as PriscillaHuffman (about using this with other foundations) and I think it's awesome tht u actually answered the question =) not everyone actually answers questions.
This all sounds great enkore, however all of those ingredients are not necessary to get the same final end result. Bentonite is mostly used for healing, acne, sores, etc, it draws it out, I do not find int necessary at all. Too much can be too much for many skin types
thats a really rash comment, because people can't help if they have extremely oily skin? i cant help it if i have acne due to hormones. it just happens, acne scars are very hard to get rid of... and at the start its oily because at 3minutes in he is demonstrating how mattifying it is, and after 3 minutes onwards his skin isnt "gross looking" ....
You should know everyones skin is different and actually his skin is not gross looking at all. It actually look like its well taken care of. He just has really oily skin.
OoOoOo i like how that product just absorb the oil right off and those product that you use as your tutorial. I will check their product out too. Thanks Enkore!
Koren you are so great in explaining products and their ingredients. I learned from one of your tutorials about Occinoxate(I think that's how you spell it). I was getting head aches and realized it was from the product. It had 2 times the allowed amount. Thank you so much for all you do! BTW how was NY Fashion week?
hey Koren. i love when you tell us about how things work. i find it interesting. i checked out their website and i was amazed at how reasonably priced their products are. based on your review, i think i'm going to check them out. thanks for sharing.
hey Angie -that kinda almost go in tandem with being an MUA and or skincare spec -very important to know whats in the products. A client can be allergic or sensitive to one and MUA needs to know which products not to use etc.
hey koren one question..can i use this products..and then use the regular mac foundation and powder and then the finish powder? or i have to use everthing mineral in order to use this kind of products?
I went to the website and found WAY too many things I want to try! They have a great section where you can buy starter packs and samples. I bought the "Best of everything" starter pack which is $85 & you get 6 full-size products (foundations, blush, setting powders, oil absorbers, eyeshadow, diamond perfect) plus 6 brushes! I priced it out and it originally would have been around $156. Really good deal! Then I got a 3-sample pack and chose concealer, silk & pearl primer, & a foundation for $12
My guess is when the jewelers are cutting and polishing the diamonds the powder left behind ( think saw dust) then gets sold and marketed for various purposes!
omg koren 16 min for 3 products...i think this video was waaay too long..but still a good one nonetheless lol i will be checking out their website shortly :)
Hi!! can liquid foundations be used over these products or do they have to be powder?

For you ladies out there with oily skin, drink spearmint or peppermint tea, 1-3 cups a day! They are anti- androgenic and lowers free testosterone (so not good for you men out there), so it lowers oil production (seriously like 70% in 2 weeks for me) and its also good for women who have hirsutism...good luck!

I bet drinking all that mint tea makes your breath smell better too, huh? :) Which tea brand do you recommend?
Coffingirl999 2 years ago
I haven't paid attention to the differences in brand so much. For peppermint, I get whatever is available at the store, but for spearmint tea I have to get it online since I can't find any in the store...at iherb (dot) com. The brand I get is "Now Foods". I hope that helps!

Hi Koren. You're absolutely adorable; it's impossible not to love you! Your enthusiasm for these products is palpable throught the video!
Very happy to hear that they make the Silk & Pearl Primer in normal-to-dry. I think I'll give it a whirl!

I have a question. I have acne prone skin and my skin is super oily. Now I have many pimples and scars. I also have large pores due to the oil. I have mineral foundations and i am wondering if the powder clogs the pores. What do you think? I know mineral foundations are much better for skin. But since it is very finely milled I think it also sinks into the pores. How do you cleans mineral makeups? Is it easier than removing liquid foundations? o
helenajeon80 2 years ago
I am a religious liquid foundation lover. But i decided to let my skin breathe and purchased this stuff (mineral makeup). I find the Diamond perfect finish wayyy better than the MUFE HD powder. I love the MUFE powder but it sinks into my pores like crazy. The diamond powder doesnt for some reason.
Btw I also have super oily skin and break out occasionally.

This all sounds great enkore, however all of those ingredients are not necessary to get the same final end result. Bentonite is mostly used for healing, acne, sores, etc, it draws it out, I do not find int necessary at all. Too much can be too much for many skin types

@babyguurlxoxo
thats a really rash comment, because people can't help if they have extremely oily skin? i cant help it if i have acne due to hormones. it just happens, acne scars are very hard to get rid of... and at the start its oily because at 3minutes in he is demonstrating how mattifying it is, and after 3 minutes onwards his skin isnt "gross looking" ....

Koren you are so great in explaining products and their ingredients. I learned from one of your tutorials about Occinoxate(I think that's how you spell it). I was getting head aches and realized it was from the product. It had 2 times the allowed amount. Thank you so much for all you do! BTW how was NY Fashion week?

I went to the website and found WAY too many things I want to try! They have a great section where you can buy starter packs and samples. I bought the "Best of everything" starter pack which is $85 & you get 6 full-size products (foundations, blush, setting powders, oil absorbers, eyeshadow, diamond perfect) plus 6 brushes! I priced it out and it originally would have been around $156. Really good deal! Then I got a 3-sample pack and chose concealer, silk & pearl primer, & a foundation for $12

one carat of crush diamond and it sells for 17.50? i wonder how that works...
l0vablelinda 2 years ago 2
i'm guessing it's milled from tiny diamonds that are too small for jewelry purposes. but you're still right...$17.50? hmm...
amandaXOeu 2 years ago
My guess is when the jewelers are cutting and polishing the diamonds the powder left behind ( think saw dust) then gets sold and marketed for various purposes!
