essence Brighten Up! Banana Powder

Banana powder, a long-time fixture in the make-up artist's repertoire, is now gaining popularity in private make-up enthusiasts' bags as well. Use it over the foundation or apply it solo directly to your face. The light, translucent powder is easy to spread and blend. Thanks to its warm, yellow tone, it hides dark circles and redness and can therefore also be used as a concealer. You can use the banana powder to matte the entire complexion over the foundation or set specific areas.

Professional tip: Use the banana powder to make your make-up last for a particularly long time with the so-called "baking" technique. To do this, apply a thick layer of the powder over your foundation. Let it work for about 10 minutes so that your body heat allows it to bond with the skin. Then simply remove excess powder with the brush.
