Hey Gurls!
Today I'm here with product that got over hyped when Makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic used it on Kim K in a makeup video. Its the Ben Nye Banana Luxury Powder.
What It Says..
these ultra-neutral powders provide superior matte and subtle finishing.
Price: Rs 600/- for 42gms
What I Say...
Ben Nye Banana Luxury Powder comes in plastic container with a black twist up cap. The mouth has a sifter so that you can control how much product you need.
The texture of this powder is very fine & smooth. Its a yellow powder which is finely milled. I sift the powder into the cap & use my Real Techniques Contour brush to swirl into it & set the under eye concealer & also dust off on the T zone with what is left on the brush.
You need less amount of this product to set the concealer. It doesn't has a powdery finish or doesn't looks cakey. It helps the concealer to stop creasing, even in the hot weather. As it has a yellow base it brightens & slightly highlights the area.
Banana powder will suit anyone from NC 36-44. If you are pale it will look darker or yellow on you, you may use the Ben Nye Cameo Powder instead.

Nice review :) I have been using MAC Transparent finishing powder and it does look cakey at times. Have to finish it off with Fix+. Alomost out of it now. Where did you buy this from?
ReplyDeleteoh too bad! this is a no mess product, definitely give it try! I got it from my near by beauty store.
DeleteThanks...will try to pick it up the next time I come to Mumbai
Deletei am buying it next time i go to beauty shop....but the sa's are soo unhelpful there....always busy in their own stuff...
ReplyDeleteoh yes you should get this one.. & yes you are right, they seem to be so irritating at times!
DeleteI see every other YT guru using this one or the cameo powder , else Chanel powder!! I am just too comfortable with my Lakme Rose Powder because of the price and the quanity. Nevertheless, I might be picking this one in my next trip to Mumbai.
ReplyDeleteya! its affordable & a great product.
Deletenice one shouri...gud u reviewed it..otherwise..I wud have tortured u...by asking again n again
ReplyDeletethanks ami! if i would not have reviewed it, you would have killed me i know! :P
DeleteNice review ....:) have to chk this one but I am quiet sure it is unavailable in any beauty store of Kolkata :(
ReplyDeleteoh ya! even i doubt the same..
DeleteNice review :) I liked Mac's prep + prime for the concealer part, but I wanted an inexpensive alternative. This looks nice but I have no idea where to buy it from :-/
ReplyDeleteya this is a good alternative! availability is an issue!
Deletethanks dear
ReplyDeleteI love Ben nye products but lately finding them a bit less satisfying than their competitors like Kryolan and NYX...I always feel something incomplete about the brand...ur review is lovely and trust me this powder is always in demand...
