It’s not the first time we’ve talked about our love of Milk Makeup, and it probably won’t be the last! As a 100 percent vegan and cruelty-free brand, it’s a favorite of ours. And it helps that they have pretty great products, such as this Blur Fam Set. It contains a Blur Spray, which will help set your makeup and minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines, a Luminous Blur Stick for a perfect glow, and a non-porous applicator (with sparkles in it!).
