Just imagine how much easier life would be if, instead of having to spend valuable morning time carefully applying foundations and bronzer and concealer and then some, you could just slap on an Instagram-esque Valencia filter and blur over imperfections in five seconds flat.
Well, now you can.
I give you blurring balms – the single most genius beauty invention ever – and just as effective as any filter.
Blurring balms, of you have yet to encounter these, are essentially the makeup version of a photo editing tool, and works to create a smooth surface that disguises large pores, fine-lines, wrinkles, and even uneven texture.
The beauty is that you can apply them after foundation or alone – and basically experience a Photosho-in-a-bottle effect.
Seriously; don’t even walk to the shop for one of these babies, RUN.
