Recently I was watching one of my favorite youtuber's nguerriero19 and she used a product called Ben Nye Banana Powder which sparked my intrested when she said the kardashians makeup artist use it on them. I knew I wanted to try this out and I found some great reviews and the best part this product is under 10 dollars.
About The Product
From Camera Ready Cosmetics "Formerly known as Visage Poudre Luxury Powders, these ultra-neutral powders provide superior matte and subtle finishing. Often compared to French powders with silky-fine textures. the Ben Nye Bella line of powders are translucent with just a hint of color."
Review
Ben Nye Banana Luxury Powder is a translucent powder used to set makeup and control shine. I like that unlike white translucent powders this one doesn't get a powdery cast off on your face. This can be used on tan skin tones to dark. This can also be used on even ligther skin tones but Ben Nye also offers more colour chioces but for me I think this one is perfect for my tone and I've seen reviews mostly on this shade so I don't know how the other shades work. The banana powder adds a nice glow to your skin, while setting your makeup but it doesn't change the colour of your makeup. Most reviews I've seen use this banana powder to set there concerlor but I like to use it on my whole face since I have oily skin. I have noticed that with using this my skin is not as oily at the end of the day, the only place that I still get some shine would have to be my nose, but that would be that i'm not putting enough powder on my nose. As well this porduct blends nicely into my skin.
The only problem with this is how you get the product out it can be a bit messy I only wish that the lid was more like Make Up Forever HD Powders lid. Beside this I have no other problem with this product.
