Ninelle Soft Focus Balance Compact Powder

I really like this powder - it has a very fine texture and applies easily (I only use a brush). It sits well on clean skin (I only use powder, without foundation, directly on my moisturizer according to my skin type, by the way, my skin is very oily with large pores). It evens out my skin tone nicely and is not noticeable even with a thick layer (unless there are flakes, which any powder would emphasize, that's what powders are for), it doesn't clog pores. HOWEVER...
It oxidizes on my skin and, in my opinion, becomes 2-3 shades darker. I was gifted shade 13, which turned out to be too dark for me from the beginning. I always go for the 2nd or 3rd shade in the drugstore powder palette, after the lightest one, because I am not fair-skinned but also not tan, with a hint of pink. I ordered shade 12, and when applied, it blends seamlessly with my skin, it mattifies well (shine appears after about 4-5 hours, yes, for me it's good because other powders last for only about 2 hours), but when the oily shine appears, the powder on the skin becomes much darker, and when applied over the already oxidized areas, it creates even darker patches, so I have to wipe it all off and reapply. Overall, everything would be fine if it weren't for the color range, it's a complete disaster. The only good thing is that when it mixes with the natural oils of the skin, it darkens the skin tone but remains somewhat transparent. I used to have another powder with the perfect shade, but when it mixed with the oils of the skin, it turned into something similar to a foundation that doesn't absorb but just sits on the skin.

Hello! I didn't buy it here. I got shade 11. I really liked it. I always apply it with a sponge and it goes on smoothly. The packaging is difficult to open and the included sponge is not great, but that's not the most important thing.

I didn't buy it here, but I'll leave a review. I have a medium-tan skin tone and somehow I bought a shade that is two tones darker than what I needed at the store. It applies unevenly and looks like a bronzer in terms of tone. I don't use it. In the photos, I tried to capture the realistic color. And yes, the sponge is not very good at all.

I wasn't impressed with this powder. I bought it at a mid-market price, but for this money, you can get something better in the mass-market, which will apply more smoothly and evenly.

The powder is good for the mid-market category. It's not fair to compare this powder to Dior Forever or Guerlain. You're comparing luxury cosmetics to a lower category. If you want to look neat and save money at the same time, this is a good option. If you apply it with the included sponge, of course it will leave patches and it's unrealistically powdery, but that's because this sponge is not intended for powder application. THROW IT AWAY! When applied with a Natural brush, it goes on super smoothly, conceals, blends, and evens out. You can apply it on its own without additional toning. If it weren't for the sponge-puff, I would give it 5⭐️ for the mid-market category. But I'm satisfied with it.

It does a decent job of leveling. The piece of foam inside didn't really impress.

Overall, I am satisfied with this powder - it mattifies well and maintains this effect for a decent amount of time. It can be used on its own or with BB or foundation cream. The only downside is that its lightweight texture is not meant to conceal blemishes such as pimples and spots. I would rate it 4 out of 5 due to the poor quality sponge - the manufacturer clearly cut corners and used cheap materials for the compact itself.

This powder is quite good. The issues of "spots" and "yellowing" can be solved with the help of a brush. Using a sponge, on the other hand, is not an option. It does a decent job of mattifying everything except the nose.

This is the worst powder.. Make up, this should not be sold! Who writes your reviews? Who compares this powder to Dior? Over the years of purchasing through your website, I believed the reviews and bought it. Inside, there is a sponge for applying the powder! But it doesn't really apply, it just leaves patches on the face. I tried to apply it once and it was a nightmare... If this is a defective product, and I am the only one who got it, please exchange it for a normal one, otherwise, this is not a powder, it's just darkness...

Great powder! It applies smoothly and evenly, leaving a thin layer. It perfectly mattifies my non-greasy skin. It excellently evens out my complexion and gives a refreshing effect. I don't have problematic skin, so I can't say how well it conceals imperfections. This is already my second time purchasing it.
