Look of the Day - Instaglam Instagram featuring Banana Powder

Mar 10, 2013


I've been playing around with highlight and contour a lot lately as I think this is an integral part of being a makeup artist and something that I love to do.  I also am always trying to improve my technique and hopefully learn something new.  In my kit and in my personal collection I have the Ben Nye Banana Powder.  I have received tons of questions from people wanting to know if the Banana Powder will work for them. Since I have received so many questions I decided to do a look on myself showing how the Banana Powder looks on darker skin.  For reference purposes, I am a MAC NW43/45 and I wear Make Up For Ever HD Foundation in 175.  

The Banana Powder is definitely more of a severe highlight look than I usually do but I still like it, however, I do prefer the Beige Suede for a more natural highlight.

For more information about the Ben Nye Powders, be sure to check out my post here.

Thanks for stopping by!

  4. I just discovered your blog (I was looking for lip swatches of MAC Heroine lipstick) and I'm so happy that I found it. Your makeup looks are great! I'm so happy that I've found a WOC (who wears similar shades of foundation- extra bonus for me) with beautiful makeup that I can try to emulate!
