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

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.

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.

Missing one star because the distribution of the product is not ideal. When you press down the puff, you get barely any product. But if you slightly lift it, it goes everywhere! I think I've gotten more on my clothes/hands than actual face. Once you do manage to get some on the puff, it actually does blot and give you a matte finish. I just really hope they figure out a different packaging solution!

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'd read reviews (all those "28 products" that work so well you'll never be with them" kind of articles) that touted this blurring powder. I waited until I could get it on sale (I'm a "never pay full price" person) and finally tried it. It works as expected but I think it makes my skin a little dull. I tried a new drugstore brand that came out in 2025 and find myself reaching for that one more often than this one. I will finish this one up but I won't be rebuying it.

New to setting powders and foundations in general. I have pretty good skin for 73, minimal wrinkles but age related discoloration, and olive colored skin. So I started wearing foundation (neutragena hydra boost in nude, love!) and felt I needed something more so tried this. It’s nice, green so I think color correcting. Does “bluer” the skin. I’ll update if any skin issues occur.

Wow! How did I go so long without knowing a product like this existing!? Complete game changer! I have super oily skin, not anymore! This lightly hides Everything!! And makes skin so smooth it’s everything I’ve been missing in my last step of daily makeup routine I just dab a thing layer over my whole face and it literally looks like a snap chat filter,, thank you!!

Amazing product, very happy!

It instantly smoothened my skin and looked brighter.

The product is received open. No plastic seal

Wasn't sure about it at first but it is nice. I like the matte look and this helps keep the shine away

This is a bit of a splurge for me, but I like the powder it does not increase. Wrinkles gives me a bit of a mat. It is quite white, but as I’m very pale, it’s fine. packaging is all high-quality. The puff that comes with. It is actually really nice. Also, I use a brush myself.
