User Tips:

-You need to find the closest color match for your skin tone.

- You should always get your face ready for any non-theatrical make-up application by applying primer to your face prior to putting on make-up (it lasts longer and smooths it out).

- All translucent powders are whitish in color- but the tBanana powder is yellow because it helps prevents your skin from looking ashy. If you have a medium color skin tone or olive or darker it would suite you best. It does suit those with fair (lighter skin) too.

- Women find that it works well to set concealer under the eyes.

- To make your Luxury Powder last longer you can put tape over all the holes except for one or two holes so that you minimize excess powder coming out of the container.

- Use either a makeup brush or a makeup sponge to apply
- Instead of a powder brush, you apply the powder using a sponge then blend it afterwards. This will make your makeup last longer.

- This powder is long lasting but to make it last even longer use setting spray after the translucent powder.

First, shake the powder into the cap or onto a plate. The powder comes in a shaker with a screw-off lid. Dip the brush or sponge into the powder and apply to the face as needed to achieve the necessary effect.

Nice for enhancing very feminine looks and can cool olive tones.Topaz, Sienna, Chestnut and Ebony are for darker skin tones and when used in conjunction with a creme base creates a very full coverage

How to Use as a Contour Powder:

The banana powder is the final step in applying makeup. The translucent powder works best when used in tandem with a thick, creamy concealer. Apply a thick layer of the powder under the eyes and in the center of the forehead. Allow the powder to set before dusting away the excess. Pull the brush or sponge lightly down over the face T-zone area. You might also want to apply the powder under the cheekbones and at the corners of the mouth. By using a makeup sponge instead of a brush to blend can help you create a beautiful highlighted look.

How to Use Banana Translucent Powder as a Finishing Powder:

Because Ben Nye Banana Powder is translucent with a matte finish, many women opt to use it as a finishing powder over the entirety of the face. If using for contouring, be sure to only use a light dusting of banana powder over the rest of the face, otherwise the contouring does not stand out. Using a makeup brush instead of a sponge may assist in providing only a light dusting of powder, though applying with a sponge may help it last longer. However, it is also possible to use the banana powder without contouring. Ben Nye Banana Powder helps combat the appearance of oily skin by providing a matte finish that lasts all day.
