Ninelle Soft Focus Balance Compact Powder

I really like the 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 skin type cream, by the way, my skin is very oily with large pores), evens out skin tone well and is not noticeable even when applied in a thick layer (unless there are flakes, it will highlight them, like any powder does). It does not clog pores. BUT...
It oxidizes on me and, in my opinion, becomes 2-3 shades darker. Tone 13 was given to me as a gift, and it was too dark for me from the beginning. I always choose the 2nd or 3rd shade in the drugstore palette, after the lightest one, because I am not fair-skinned, but also not dark-skinned, and I have a pink undertone. I ordered shade 12, and when you apply it, it blends with the skin as if it becomes one, it mattifies well (after about 4-5 hours, shine appears, yes, for me it's good because other powders last about 2 hours), but when the oily shine appears, the powder on the skin becomes much darker and when applied over the oxidized parts, it becomes even darker and patches appear, you need to wipe everything off and start over. Overall, everything would be good if it wasn't for the color range issue. The only good thing is that when it mixes with the skin's oils, it darkens the color of the skin, but becomes somewhat transparent. I used to have another powder with the perfect color, but when it mixed with the skin's oils, it tended to become...

Good day! I didn't buy it here. I got shade 11. I liked it. I always apply it with a sponge and it goes on smoothly. The packaging is very tight and the included sponge is not very good, but that's not the main thing.

I didn't buy it here but I still want to leave a review. My skin is medium-dark and somehow I bought a shade two tones darker than I should have. It looks patchy and has a bronzer tone. I don't use it. I tried to take a realistic picture of the color. And yes, the sponge is not very good.

And I was not impressed with the powder. I bought it in the mid-market, but for this price, you can get something better in the mass market, which will apply more evenly and smoothly.

For the middle-market category, this powder is good. There is no need to compare this powder to Dior Forever or Guerlain. It's just unfair. You are comparing luxury cosmetics to a lower category. If you want to look neat and save money, then this is a good option. If you apply it with the sponge that comes with it, of course, it will go on in patches and will be unrealistically powdery, but that's because this sponge is not intended for applying powder. THROW IT AWAY! When applied with a Natural brush, it goes on super smoothly, masks imperfections, blurs, and evens out the skin tone. It can be applied on its own, without additional tinting. For the middle-market, if it weren't for the sponge-puff, I would give it 5 stars. But I am satisfied with it.

It aligns well enough. The piece of sponge inside didn't particularly please.

Overall, I am satisfied with this powder - it mattifies well and maintains this effect for a long time. It can be used alone or with BB or foundation cream. The only thing is that its lightweight texture is not intended to conceal blemishes such as pimples and spots. Rating 4 out of 5 for the poor quality sponge - the manufacturer clearly cut corners and included a cheap sponge, and the powder case itself looks cheap.

Quite a good powder. The problems of "spots" and "yellowing" are solved with the help of a brush. Using a sponge is not an option. It mattifies everything well, except for 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 is a sponge for applying the powder! But in principle, it doesn't apply evenly, it just smears 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, exchange it for a normal one, otherwise it's not a powder, it's just darkness...

Great powder! It applies evenly in a thin layer. It perfectly mattifies my non-greasy skin. It evens out my skin tone and refreshes it. I don't have problematic skin, so I don't know how well it camouflages imperfections. I'm buying it for the second time.
