Acne prone or sensitive skin, beware

This "ultra blur" version of LM's powder broke me out terribly. Worst acne of my life! I wish they would STOP using SUNFLOWER SEED OIL; their OG setting powder is not a problem for me, as it does NOT contain this oil ingredient. (Note that the OG version does contain soybean oil; even though the product specifically states that it is OIL-FREE. Wow, lie to our faces dontcha, lol.) I realize this ultra-blur version is supposed to be more hydrating... but... at a cost: scarring for life was not what I expected. & I'm a huge lifelong fan of LM's powders, but this ULTRA BLUR version is one that went directly in the trash. I received nothing but BAD ACNE, like I was a teen again, after 3 days use; the deeply painful cystic kind, that takes weeks-months to resolve. I'm still attempting to correct this LM breakout from 2 months ago. Not sure I'll ever lose the scars. Acne prone & sensitive skin? Go with the OG version (get the black cap ONLY; not the light cap!! Unless soybean oil is also a problem for you, then look outside of LM.) The only powders I've found to date that truly are OIL-FREE are Morphe's Bake & Set powder, ELF's halo glow setting powder, & Cover Girl's Simply Ageless pressed powder. The ONLY 3 powders that are friendly for acne prone & sensitive skin that I've found in my 45yrs!! Even if they claim to be "oil-free", check the ingredients closely.

LM Ultra Blur setting Powder

Worst product I have ever used. A long term user of the original LM Translucent Powder I was persuaded to try the Ultra Blur. It is thick and cakey, sits on top of skin, feels heavy looks heavy definitely not translucent.My makeup looked made up and cakey just using a small amount. Instead of feeling hydradting it felt drying and stuck to lines and pores. Do Not Buy, stick with the original
