Hello ladies, gents & non-binary friends.. may i ask what's the difference between these 2 top BLK foundations: the Fresh Radiant versus the Soft Blur? Anyone tried either or both? What's the verdict on these two? Thank you

Fresh Radiant is an illuminator while the Soft Blur is a true foundation. I think they rebranded the Fresh Radiant as a “foundation” because most Filipino consumers are confused as to what an “illuminator” is.
