smudged
Blurry from touching
Smudged describes something marked with a smear or blur, typically from rubbing or touching: smudged fingerprints on the glass, Her mascara was smudged from crying.
The word suggests an unintended imperfection—ink that hasn't dried, makeup that's been disturbed, a once-clean surface now bearing traces of contact.
