Decided to go matte for summer? Then you need to invest in banana powder. Leading beauty influencers use the setting powder for contouring and color correcting (minus one Kardashian). Full disclosure: banana versions feature yellow pigments to conceal and camouflage so they’re not ideal for olive and deeper complexions. But for everyone else, using a banana powder is essential in summer since we don’t want our makeup melting off in extreme heat.
Use a kabuki brush to evenly spread banana powder on your face after you’ve applied your liquid base makeup. And make sure to pay special attention to areas calling for more coverage. Let the powder sit for a while before finishing things off.
Here are the best banana powders out there to keep everything on your face in place.
