Neo Blurring Powder: Korean Shine Control Compact with Pore Blurring, Smoothing Finish & Travel-Friendly, No Spill Packaging

I was skeptical trying yet another powder. I was afraid that this would be just another product that promises without delivery of results. But I gotta tell ya, this product more than delivered! I wear this without any primer or foundation. And I only wear a tiny bit of concealer and feel like the result is much more even than the full face of makeup. Yes, you have to touch your face up more often if you live in humidity. However, it doesn’t feel like it makes your face more oily! It does actually seem like it absorbed some oil and the pores look more relaxed. I have not tried this with my Elta Md tinted sunscreen. Honestly, it just depends on what you need and where you are wearing it, and what you are wearing it with (as with any makeup). I love wearing this at home right after washing my face and/or spraying some hypochlorous acid formulated for the face. I don’t think I will wear it over my sunblock, but I did appreciate how a little bit of concealer went on when applied over the powder already on my nose. (I’m using NARS Soft Matte concealer.) I wouldn’t wear this over my sunblock because my sunblock is oily. And because the powder pouf is sooo soft! I’ve never had any powder include a pouff like this and I wouldn’t want to dirty this one with other formulas. The design of this compact is also really great. I love how there’s a feature to prevent spillage and release fine, loose powder onto only the pouf. And inside the compact is a section that separates and holds the pouf, but keeps the rest of the powder contained while allowing you to open the compact to use the mirror and never have a messy surprise! I will post pictures later and update beyond that, if necessary. LOVE this brand!

Mrs K here: after a lot of back and forth with myself I decided to try this Laneige powder. During the Chicago winters I don't use much powder (52 year old, very dry, post menopausal skin) apart from an afternoon touch up on my nose. In every other month my skin goes full combination (yet remains dry, with all sorts of challenges). I do use powder to set my BB cream, and I've tried so many. This is a really exceptional powder. While I think the sort of Sputnik 60s retro/futuristic compact is almost too much, it's cute, and would look cute on a vanity, if that's your thing. I don't really care about the look of it. The silicone "mesh" inside the compact is pretty slick; the included powder puff is as soft as a kitten's fuzz, and again, secondary to the product itself, though quite nice. The powder is very, very finely milled, and whether applied with the puff, a mini triangle or a brush, only a tiny bit is needed to set your look or to touch up, and it vanishes into the skin. It absorbs excess oils and leaves my skin feeling like actual silk. It lasts for what seems like forever (I went to the gym and did a lot of cooking and other active stuff on a hot day, and I wasn't shiny when I got home, neither did my skin look flat or one-dimensional). Because so little powder is required to buff my skin I expect it to last for months and months; it's not irritating or drying, and I can't believe that I could love a powder at this age, but I do. It also gives that desired airbrushed effect; I feel like I'm walking around in good lighting. Just a really delightful and pleasant product that does what it claims to do, and very well. I recommend it highly.

This powder delivers on its blurring promise - it really does create a smooth, airbrushed finish on the skin. Dispenser concerns: The push-down dispenser mechanism is a bit nerve-wracking to use. I never quite know how much product will come out when I press, which makes it tricky to avoid waste or getting too much powder at once. It takes some practice to get the feel for it. I also can't see how much product remains in the compact, so I have no idea when I'll actually need a replacement. You're basically flying blind until it suddenly runs out. The puff: The included puff is wonderfully soft and fluffy, which feels nice on the skin. However, since I'm using this as a finishing powder over foundation, the puff picks up my foundation color pretty quickly. You'll likely want to wash it regularly or have a backup puff on hand. Performance & portability: No white cast, which is great (though full disclosure - I'm not very tanned, so those with deeper skin tones should test this). The compact is nicely sized for travel - small enough to slip into any bag without taking up much space. Bottom line: The blurring effect is fantastic and the compact size is convenient, but the dispensing system could use some improvement. If you can get past the learning curve with the dispenser, it's a solid finishing powder for touch-ups throughout the day.

I’ve been really impressed with this powder. The compact packaging is one of my favorite features — it’s sturdy, slim, and truly mess-free. The inner design keeps the powder contained so it doesn’t spill everywhere in my makeup bag, which is such a huge plus for travel or keeping in my purse. Performance-wise, it does exactly what I need it to do. It absorbs oil really well without making my skin look dry or cakey. My T-zone gets shiny throughout the day, and this keeps everything looking matte and smooth. It also gives a really nice blurring effect that softens the look of pores and makes my skin look more even overall. Lightweight, easy to use, and actually effective — I’ll definitely keep repurchasing this one.

I loved the way this felt and it looked amazing...for about 40 minutes. Then my face was super shiny, more shiny than when I use nothing at all. I'm returning it, not worth $25 if I have to reapply hourly

I have been using this powder since it came out. It is really fine and blurring. I use it to set makeup sometimes but I mainly use it: A) to set color correction and concealers B) Over sun blocking cream (Anua) to cut the shine. Use it with soft powder brushes. I use a finer brush around my eyes and a larger one around the rest of my face. Then I press with a puff. So far it has not accentuated my fine lines and my face does not look caked up. I love this powder. Just note that It is on the expensive side. However, a little goes a long way. My skin is sensitive and so far have not had any allergic reactions to this product.

10/5 stars for my oily face! It's a beautiful powder that sets my makeup without looking cakey. It keeps my face looking smooth and blurred for much, much longer than any other powder I've used before. I'm glad I finally decided to take a chance on it because it's been worth it for me. I prefer to use the cushion to pick up the powder and then use a brush to pick up the powder from the cushion because it keeps the cushion from getting gunked up with oils and makeup residue, which cuts down on how often I need to wash the cushion. If you struggle with your face becoming shiny after just a couple of hours, this is the powder for you. It's not expensive when you compare it to high end Western powders, plus you can get refills for it. The packaging is lovely, designed well, feels great to hold and use, and makes the product portable. However the box and the compact didn't come with a tamper-proof safety seal (see my pics). I was a bit apprehensive about it. I looked it up and it's apparently just how they package and ship this product. I think it's sensible to add safety seals to all beauty products, but I'll get over it because I love this powder. The powder itself has a type of seal over it (which comes with a short set of instructions) to keep the powder from falling out, but I wouldn't call that seal tamper-proof.

I’m 52 with mature skin, so powders can be tricky for me. Too many either emphasize texture or settle right into fine lines and wrinkles. This one absolutely does not do that. I’ve used Hince powders for years and really like them, but I decided to try this Laneige Neo Blurring Powder—and I’m genuinely impressed. It gives a beautiful, soft-focus finish that smooths the skin without looking dry, heavy, or cakey. What I love most is that it does not crease or settle into wrinkles, even after wearing it for hours. My skin still looks natural and smooth, not flat or overly matte. It controls shine nicely while keeping the skin looking healthy. I also appreciate how versatile it is. I can wear it alone on bare skin for a polished, blurred look, or apply it over makeup without disturbing what’s underneath. No patchiness, no lifting, no weird texture issues. The compact is sleek and travel-friendly, and the powder itself feels finely milled and lightweight. It’s one of those products that just quietly works—and those are often the best ones. I’m certainly not disappointed with this purchase and can easily see it becoming a staple in my routine. Highly recommend, especially if you want a blurring powder that actually plays well with mature skin.

Amazing product.

The product is received open. No plastic seal

Works really well. No complaints here!

I’ve been using this blurring powder daily and it’s quickly become one of my go‑to makeup items. The texture is very finely milled and blends into my skin without looking heavy or cakey — it just gives a soft, blurred finish that helps makeup look more polished and natural. One of the biggest benefits for me is how well it controls oil and shine throughout the day. Even in warmer weather, it helps keep my T‑zone matte without completely flattening my skin’s natural glow. It also minimizes the look of pores and texture, so my complexion looks smoother overall. The compact is really handy for on‑the‑go touch‑ups — the no‑spill design and included puff make it easy to apply without mess, even when I’m traveling or in a rush. However, the amount of product isn’t huge, so it might feel small if you use it daily, and there’s a small learning curve to getting just the right amount released from the dispenser. Overall, if you want a lightweight setting powder that controls oil, blurs imperfections, and feels comfortable all day, this is definitely worth considering. It’s especially great for oily or combination skin, but still gentle enough that it doesn’t dry out the face.

Amazing product, very happy!
