Is it worth the money? I just started using Lumiere VV MMU and love it. I'm just not sure what silk powder to use.  Thanks! |

Um, you can make a DIY version for a lot cheaper or you can try and get it from Carekate (although she hasn't responded to a lot of requests lately, so I can't promise you you'll get through). There are versions from several companies like everyday minerals. I do like the Jurlique, but I don't find it necessary in addition to MMU -- in general its a nice, light oil absorber, so unless you have pretty oily skin, I don't know what it would really accomplish. The Jurlique is not a finshing powder in the sense that some of the MMU's have a very fine translucent powder you put over your MMU. Jurlique is just an oil absorber, it's white, and it's doesn't make your skin appear any differnt (exceot less shiny). I just use it during summer because it keeps away shine better than ordinary powder. |

Hi Janie,
My biggest complaint about Jurlique [even though I've never used it myself] is that despite it's name, there is no silk in it!
There are threads on the DIY area that give my recipe for silk & pearl primer ... or you can PM me if you want to try some.

I agree with you. I was going to purchase this, but after looking at the ingredient list.. I was like, WHERE'S THE SILK???  They should rename it to Jurlique Silky Powder or something! |

| I bought this in my first EDS order but haven't used it yet. I will have to see if I like it enough to keep using it in place of EDM Finishing Dust (and if I do, I will probably try Carekate's next time). I apply finishing powder underneath my MMU, to absorb oil. |

I love the Jurlique Silk Dust over my SK-II Airtouch. I only use it on my nose and right around my nose where I tend to get oily during the day.
I like it because it does nothing to change the appearance of my skin, it just absorbs the oil. I don't want a powder that would ruin the 'airbrush' effect of the SK-II, I just want it to be invisible and absorb oil, which the Jurlique Silk Dust does perfectly.
As others have said, it is not a finishing powder, it is an oil absorber only. |

It's actually very cheap in Australia so I guess price was not a concern to me about trying this product.
However, I find it only to be slightly more oil controlling than other loosepowders (I love shu uemura translucent loose powder..more natural and gives you velvty finish when jurlique tends to look a tad dry on the skin just after application). |

Hi Janie:
Lumiere has a pure silk finishing powder. It comes in the translucent and two shades. I just ordered the silk ivory shade, I'll let you know how it is.

| I use it under my MMU as a primer and to absorb oil. I can get very oily by midday and this cuts the shine a lot. I don't have to blot for a full 8 hours! |

| If you are oily skin, then it would be perfect for you. It makes my skin very dry unfortunately. |

I do not like this powder. This powder has no special point, and every time after use, skin would turn dryer.
Besides, there is very light color with this powder. I need powder with radiant effect on face. |

| For me it is not worth, this product is good for oil skin, use it at the last step of your routine and it can make your skin looks smooth. |
