I have the Kiehl’s Micro-Blur Skin Perfector here for you.It seems that blur products are big business at the moment and the latest launch from Kiehl’s provides instant blurring and skin perfecting effects along with skincare benefits over time.

The line from Kiehl’s is that this is a lightweight, satin finish skin-perfecting formula that combines an instant blurring effect with long-lasting, visible skincare results. It contains:

  • Lipo Hydroxy Acid
  • Lentil Extract
  • Bark Extract
These promise to refine the appearance of pores and improve the texture of skin over time which I think it pretty interesting for an instant blur product. Kiehl’s advise using this as the last step in your skin care routine day and night (after sunscreen, or BB cream, should you use it, for day).

Kiehl’s Micro-Blur Skin Perfector Before & After

I have had this sample for less than a week, so can’t comment on the long term skincare benefits but I can you how it works in terms of instant results. Here’s the before picture with all my skincare, including sunscreen applied:

As you can see it is softly mattifying and it greatly diminishes the appearance of pores and evens out skin texture. It works really nicely under foundation and the finish is very natural and not over made-up which is sometimes the case with primers.

It does contain silicone which accounts for how beautifully it glides on to the skin, but it is incredibly lightweight and doesn’t have the heavy feel that some blurring products have at all. This is a big thumbs up from me – it’s a fabulous makeup primer and I love the fact that it can deliver skin improvement over time.The Kiehl’s Micro-Blur Skin Perfector is paraben-free, dermatologist tested, non-comedogenic and is appropriate for all skin types and skin tones.
Price is £23. Find it at Selfridges.
