兰芝 Neo Essential 定妆粉，7克

I was using Innisfree, but this one is a bit different. It's meshed, so it's easy to use. If you press it carelessly, the powder will fly around, so you need to practice carefully to know how much powder to press, but I've managed to adjust it. The particles are fine and smooth. When used in combination with Neo Cushion Mat N, it doesn't dry out and it doesn't crumble. The only thing left is the cost performance.

I was eagerly awaiting its release in Japan, but even after it was released, I never saw it in stores for a long time because I live in the countryside. Finally, I finally found it! A few months ago, I finally found it! The powder is incredibly smooth, and even a small amount leaves me feeling light and smooth throughout the day, without needing touch-ups. It also feels like it gives a luminous finish without being powdery. Since it doesn't contain any pearls, it's probably more accurate to say that it doesn't neutralize the shine of a base foundation. The shape of this compact is simply amazing. With use, the powder may become less or more concentrated, but this is within acceptable limits. If you don't apply even pressure to the mesh, clumps will come out in clumps. *Updated November 12, 2025: I've had two instances of powder leaking (or something like that). When I removed the refill, I found that powder had accumulated at the bottom of the compact (where the refill normally fits) and was leaking. I'm not sure why the powder was leaking, but removing the powder and reinserting the refill solved the problem. If you're having the same problem, please give it a try!

When used as a finishing touch, it leaves the skin feeling smooth and reduces shine. It's light yet provides coverage, so it's recommended for those who prefer natural makeup. It doesn't have a strong powdery feel, so it stays put and stays comfortable all day.

I bought this because I was attracted to the silicone mesh. Even when you press the puff against it, it doesn't stick too much powder, so you can use a small amount at a time. I wanted to put a little more on my nose, so I pressed the puff against just one part of the mesh, and a lot of powder came out, so you need to be careful. Some powders that prevent shine can turn white or dry out, but this one seems like it can be used in winter without worrying about dryness.

It stays smooth all day long!! And yet it doesn't dry out!! Just dab a small amount onto the puff, barely noticeable if there's powder on it, and it stays on perfectly. Even though I'm wearing a mask and it's humid, it stays looking great. The only drawback is that you can't see how much is left. But when you see it in person, it's cute and round, and I think it's great for carrying around.
