REVIEW Ben Nye Banana Powder

Today I wanted to share with you my review on the Ben Nye Banana Powder, I use this as a make-up setting powder and it works a treat. The shade is so perfect for my skin you can barely see it. 

I have previously used other setting powders that are great at giving me a matte finish, but I find it leaves me with a yellow tan look, and I prefer to be my own skin colour, The Ben Nye banana powder, gives me that natural warm smooth finish.

It is available in four different shades: Banana, Buff Cameo and Beige Suede. It has become a staple in my everyday kit and I use it most days when I want to set my foundation, as well as when I highlight and contour. 

The only downside of this product is the packaging, as the powder is very finely milled it makes it difficult to use it without spilling as you can see below the holes are far too big, and it’s impossible to apply an even amount on to a brush straight from the bottle.  



I purchased this at makeupmania.com (Click Here) at the time there was a special offer on and it cost me less than £12 with delivery.  I don’t think I have seen it in any drugstore or other shops for that matter but it is widely available online, and on ebay.

A little product goes a long way so I figured if I purchase the largest size (the 3Oz/85gm) it should last me a lifetime. (Don’t think that will happen considering the amount I spill every time I use it).

There have been lots of reviews on this in the past, so I thought I would keep mine to a minimal,

Please feel free to leave comments.. Have you used any of the Ben Nye powders?
