Banana powder uses

Translucent powder is an ideal setting powder for people with lighter undertone as that becomes undetectable on the skin. However, on the darker skin tone, the powder just leaves people looking ghostly in the pictures. Blending in banana powder is the right way to achieve high definition makeup look.

Some makeup artists even suggest using the powder as a primer. It is also used to colour correct according to one's undertone and give the skin a warm highlight, absorb excess oil and set makeup for a longer duration. Banana powder is also known to help to reduce the appearance of fine line and wrinkles.
