6 Brilliant Blur Creams
BB, CC and DD creams can all step aside—blur creams are the newest in multitasking makeup. Made with light-diffusing particles, these skin savers “blur” fine lines, large pores and other problem spots to give your face a glowing, filtered look, similar to how you may appear in an Instagram image. They’re great for wearing under foundation because they increase coverage power, without making your skin look caked with cover-up. Blur creams are also great for preventing shine, ensuring that you’ll always look fabulous in a photo. Bonus: They leave your face feeing super soft!

Garnier® Skin Renew 5 Second Blur Instant Smoother $15

Laura Mercier Smooth Finish Flawless Fluide $48
