I personally like Perfecting Powder better, but others swear by Blur. It really is one of those things that you need to sample for yourself.......

Strait from the jar I prefer the PP also but I really like them mixed. When Karen first came out with Blur I purchased it and it was just way to dark so I started mixing it with PP. I like how they work together, I also now have the clear blur. I mix the clear with some foundation and PP in my powder brush, kept in my purse.

I'm a mixer too: I mix the untinted oil control blur with Tempt Tryst - the latter is too dark on me in itself, and the oil control blur adds... you guessed: oil control and blurring of pores :)

You should try a sample of the PPs (tinted or untinted), and the blurs (tinted, untinted, oil control or not). It's worth messing around and experimenting until you find your HG :) For example, I have used oil control blur since it came out, and its coloring was very similar to Date Bait, so it kinda worked on me. Then I slowly realized that I'm really more yellow than pink and switched to my new mix, which I think suits me better. You can also change the mix proportion depending on how tan you are throughout the year. Good luck!

Blur and PP are different but they're both good. I agree that sampling them and trying different blends is the way to go.
