Blur On Lock Setting Powder
Blurring setting powder with a soft matte finish; ideal for normal to dry skin but won't control oil all day.
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Hard Candy's Blur On Lock Setting Powder costs around $9 and comes in compacts with three color-correcting shades each, like lavender and green or pink and peach. Multiple creators praise its finely milled, lightweight texture that creates a blurred, airbrushed finish without feeling dry or cakey, and it sets concealer well for hours. However, Andréa Matillano notes it is not extremely mattifying, so those with very oily skin seeking intense matte or 12-hour wear may want a different formula.
