Ben Nye Banana Powder

It took me a while to actually make up my mind and get this baby into my make-up collection. i tried many set powders for under eye concealer or all over the face, like Make up forever HD powder, as well as the Maybelline Shine Free Oil Control Loose Powder.

• MU HD powder does the work, but I have to be careful of not putting too much because it would show up in pictures as a white veil (not cute at all).

Retails $34.00 at sephora.

I still have it in my makeup drawer, I just don't use it as much, I would use it as my last resource.

• Maybelline Shine Control Loose Powder, works wonders. I would place this around my under eye area with a makeup sponge to set up the concealer and whipped off any fall outs at the end. It is affordable, but i do not like the package. Its too bulky, and not a great idea to have it in your purse, it creates such a mess. Definitely a powder that must stay at home.

Retails $6.00-10.00 at Walgreens/Walmart/Target/CVS .

• I found out about the Ben Nye Banana Powder a year ago through Kim K's make-up artist Mario, and how perfectly works as a set powder but as well as a highlight under your eyes, bridge of your nose, Cupid's bow, etc. To be honest, I dislike purchasing things online, you never know what you get at the end. Kept getting information, different opinions, and looking at different websites. All of them have same price, maybe shipping rate changes a bit. This powder was manly created for theatrical makeup. A powder that would last for hours without retouching. It leaves a silk smooth flawless finish that can be used on any skin type. You can find it in different types of shades: Banana, Cameo, Beige Suede, Cocoa Tan, Topaz, and Sienna. These powders will not clog pores, but they set makeup and reduce shine! I finally got it, decided to purchase this bad boy through makeupmania.com. I highly recommended this product. You actually get a lot of product, and also have options of 3 sizes of bottles. Shipping was fast, and in great condition. I paid $14.94 including shipping, and I purchased 3.0oz bottle Banana Color. I used it under my eyes to set my concealer and bridge of my nose to contour. I apply it with a damp beauty blender in a tapping motion, and then I would use a fluffy powder brush to blend it around my face to disappear any harsh lines.

Retails around 7.00 (different websites)

I would def. recommend this product. Its amazing, I do not use it every day but just whenever I go out with my friends/ and special ocassions.
