Raw Banana Powder

Since banana powder is lighter in color and generally used to pronounce specific areas of the face, you can use this to set your makeup and highlight your under eyes, your nose, forehead, chin area, and under your contour. Banana powder is not typically used to set your makeup all over your face.

If you’re at the highlight and contour stage of your makeup application and want to bake, you can take your banana powder and apply it to your highlight with a fluffy brush or sponge. With the baking technique, you’re using a heavier amount of powder on your highlighted areas to help accentuate the color and sculpt your face. In order for this method to work its magic, you leave the banana powder on your face for a few minutes; the extra time locks in your product, absorbs any excess oils, and settles in to reflect light.  After a few minutes have passed, sweep off any powder that remains with a fluffy brush. If you’d like to take a softer approach to using banana powder, pressing a small amount of the product into your concealer with a blending brush will naturally brighten those areas and set your application; just make sure you blend the product in with the rest of your complexion products in that area to prevent patchiness.
