FAQs

How do I apply the banana powder?

You can use a fluffy brush for all-over application or a damp makeup sponge for baking.

What is 'baking'?

Baking is a technique where you apply a generous amount of powder to set concealer and brighten the under-eye area, letting it sit for a few minutes before dusting off the excess.

Can I use this powder if I have dry skin?

Yes, but use a light hand. Ensure your skin is well-moisturized before applying the powder.

Is the banana powder suitable for all skin tones?

Yes, it is suitable for all skin tones because of the translucent formula, which prevents a white cast in photos.

Is this product vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes, the essence Brighten Up! Banana Powder is vegan and cruelty-free.

How long does the product last?

The product's lifespan depends on frequency of use; however, the 9g size should last a reasonable amount of time with regular use.

Does this product contain any harmful ingredients?

No, the product is free from oil, parabens, perfume, acetone, and alcohol.

How do I clean my makeup brushes?

Wash your brushes with brush cleaner or gentle soap and water, and let them dry completely before reuse.

Troubleshooting

Powder looks cakey.

Use a lighter hand when applying the powder. Tap off excess product from the brush before application. Use a makeup setting spray to blend everything together.

Powder settles into fine lines.

Apply a small amount of powder, using a tapping motion, not a sweeping one. Ensure the skin is well-hydrated before application.

Powder makes the face look too yellow.

Use a very light amount of powder or apply the powder only to areas that need setting, such as under the eyes. Consider mixing with a translucent powder.
