BEAUTY MUST HAVE

OMG! So I have been hearing about this luxury powder. I finally decided to get it and give it a try. It’s called Ben Nye (pronounced Ben Nai) Luxury Powder in Banana shade. It is a finely blended yellow undertone powder, usually used to set the under eye concealer and also give a matte effect that reduces that annoying shine your foundation can create. You all know the shine I’m talking about. They also have their Mojave Luxury and Translucent face powder collection which is more for use all over the face.

See, the thing is Banana is famous for being universal and blending with all skin tones. People with darker skin tones wouldn't agree though. They feel it’s too light therefore giving that white ghost look. I have to say (having tried it today) it really works for me but you have to blend it in very well.

However, if you are of a darker skin tone and not too comfortable with the lightness of the shade you can go for the Mojave shade which comes in Nutmeg, Olive sand and Clay and Dark cocoa (for really really dark skin tones)

The popular translucent ones for African skin tone are Topaz (this I find is amazing with my skin tone and great for MAC NW45 foundation wearer), Sienna, Chestnut, Coco tan and Ebony. Meanwhile the Ebony shade is brilliant for creating contours.
