Bella Luxury Powder - Banana

Great stuff. I've been buying this since the 90's, and keep coming back to it again and again. I have oily skin, and find that this powder, when used in conjunction with a primer helps control oil and shine. I do get a tiny bit glowy around the t-zone throughout the day, but can make it through the day without touch-ups if I need to and my makeup is still set and looks good. The color of the powder is also a big bonus, it's light and very much on the yellow side, and suits my skintone as if the shade was custom blended just for me. My skin is very light, but very yellow/olive in tone, and finding finishing powders that don't oxidize orange or pink on me, and that are also pale enough, has always been a challenge. I'll continue to use this as long as I can get my hands on it- it's a tried and true staple.

One of my first good setting powder. It’s just hard to buy but good price for a lot of product.

I got ilthis in a make up lot that I bought on Ebay. So products are misses and some are not. The is an Excellent Loose Powder. I wish the packaging was made more functional but I can live with it. After I get Full Face Ready, the last thing I do is use my setting powder and the Setting Spray. I have very oily skin and live in the tropics of South Florida where is is humid all day and my face Stayed looking fully Matte and not Oily at all,which I have an issue with. I would definitely repurchase this again. PricePoint is inexpensive. And lastly, I don't know where the Banana comes into play. It has no scent but an ever so slight if yellow tint that it Apples the Color of my Skin and I apply with a Beauty Blender..A++ Product!!

hate packaging messy so annoying to use color fits my skin but emphasis any dryness i have on corner areas and sets to any creases. I tend to have combination skin due to packaging and having to be careful where I apply it's a rather for me

I have been using the banana powder for a couple of years now as baking powder for my under eyes and it work great. I am a medium warm skin type I go between a NC 25-35 in MAC. I do not use the banana shade to bake the entire face, but I can use it as a light wash for the entire face only. I am interested enough to try a different shade to bake the face

Great for oily skin. I use this all over as a finishing powder since I have strong yellow undertones in my skin and can pull it off. I've noticed that it keeps my skin matte all day.

I bought a sample size of this from an ebay seller and so far am liking it. It's a bit drying to use under my eyes but works great on the less dry areas- it's finely milled so the finish is very smooth, and the yellow color (not a problem w/ my skin tone) brightens. For high shine, it's decent. Lasts about as long as the Sonia Kushuk pressed powder but probably not as long as some specialty powders (i presume).

I have a typical Asian skin tone and I find this powder really suits me. The only problem I have with this product is the packaging. The powder itself is smooth and easy enough to apply with my fat brush.

This looks and feels amazing on the skin. The shaker isn't the best but the product is great.

This powder only gets one star because I purchased a too light foundation and the powder added enough shade to make it wearable every though the whole day everyone kept asking me if I was ill I have heard such great things about this banana powder but all it did was dry my skin out and no matter how much hydrating spray I added to my skin during the day it just go dryer. I couldn't wait to get home to wash my face and slather it in moisturiser. Definitely a powder for our ladies out their with oiler skin. Certainly not for mature, dry, older skin like my own. The other thing I didn't like is the bottle, I like to tap my brush into my finishing powder, this is like a talc powder application and there was yellow powder every where, no control of the amount you would like to apply to your face. If you would like to try fantastic Banana Powder, you cannot go past Australis they make the best setting powder, which doesn't dry your skin out or settle in your pores.
