Hard Candy

Budget-friendly color-correcting powders and setting sprays for everyday wear.

Hard Candy is a drugstore brand that punches above its price point, especially with its Blur On Lock Setting Powder — a finely milled, color-correcting powder that blurs and brightens without looking cakey. It comes in multi-shade pans (pink, peach, lavender, green) that you can mix or use solo, and it wears well for normal to dry skin. The trade-off: it's not mattifying enough for very oily skin, and the color correction is subtle rather than intense. The Glow on Lock Setting Spray adds a nice dewy finish for dry skin types, though the pump can clog.
