We curate our Instagram feeds to highlight life's brightest moments and our most photogenic selves. And when that fails? Well, there's always a filter for that (shoutout to Mayfair!).
But when it's time to dupe the insta-filter effect—the kind that Jennifer Lopez has mastered—IRL?
Turn to blurring lotions—moisturizer-primer hybrids typically applied under makeup (or alone) that use light-bending cross polymers to smooth skin and diffuse the appearance of large pores and fine lines.
Think of it as a primer upgrade that everyone can benefit from. "Because of the priming aspect, they give a flawless base for foundation," E! Style Collective Member and celebrity makeup artist Ashley Rebecca said.
Some formulas are paste-like and are equipped to absorb excess oil. Others, better suited for drier skin, have the consistency of a light body lotion.
Not sure which blurring lotion is right for you? Read on to meet your match.
