Australis Banana Powder Review

As soon as Australis released their Banana Powder from their AC ON TOUR Contour kit, i picked it up straight away! I had already hit pan on that shade in the palette and its defintely my go - to powder for setting my under eye area. This powder is silky smooth, brightening and does not leave my under eye dry. I apply it either will a small powder brush or a damp beauty sponge under my eye after concealing/highlighting the under eye area. The quality for the price is amazing! The one fault is that the product can be quite powdery in the pan. Other than that I will definitely repurchase... again

As soon as I saw this released I knew I needed it having swooning the ABH & KVD contour palettes I found the price point more reachable to my budget. The product is quite a big pan & after 2 months of daily use I hit pan on it so that's a good result of use. I like the coverage this gives it brightens my undereye area & has me feeling confident the only problem would be if your eyes aren't hydrated enough then this settles into your dry areas & ecentuates the lines. Theres nothing else about this product that causes me concern and if you're out to try a banana powder then I reccomend this one the price point is the first reason then it's perfromance is of a good standard.

I loved using this banana powder, the second it came out I had to have it. It's affordable and reliable brand, I loved the coverage it gave to my under eye area.

I have light-medium skin and I find that this powder doesn't make much of a difference. I mostly use this powder as a high-lighter/brightener, the effect is very mild, it slightly brightens the area to which you apply it. I think that it would stand out more on darker skin-tones.

The consistency is ok, not flash, could be packed tighter. It's easy to use, my brush picks it up and spreads it around evenly with ease.

I've used this powder almost every day since I purchased it about 6 weeks ago, it compliments my every day 'natural'/minimal makeup look. I do like it, but I probably wouldn't repurchase as it's i'd prefer a bit more effectiveness.

This powder really does the job. It's super brightening so it's great for setting your under eyes. It locks in concealer and helps it to not budge all day which is awesome.

The only thing I have an issue with it is that it can look a bit cakey. It's fine if you use a light hand but overall I love this powder! Wish it came in a loose powder form as I imagine it would be great for baking as well

This year I decided to give under eye brightening a try. This is my first compact powder. My skin is ageing . I was abit worried that this might dry out my skin.I saw this being sold on a buy and sell page and quickly picked it up brand new at an affordable price .

The banana powder comes in a round compact . It's nothing special packaging wise . The powder itself is pale shade of yellow. The pigmentation of the powder is there . There's no scent which I like.

When using this I like to apply this powder under my eyes. Oh I was so scared it would crease in my lines. Thankfully it didn't do that. I also like to apply this under my contour cheek bone line to add definition to my face. After setting for 30-40 minutes I sweep away any excess fall out.

I'm still trying to learn how to use this powder. I still have a bit more practising to do. I am happy with the end result after using this. I got 7 hours wear with it. It's one of the most affordable banana powders out there. I would reccomend giving this one a try.

Personally this powder didnt work for me. It didnt help brighten my under eyes, it just made them yellow and made me look a little sick. However the powder is very fine and was nice to apply - the colour just didn't work for my skin tone.

I have fair-light yellow toned skin and really enjoy this power as an undereye setting powder.

It comes off almost scarily yellow in the pan and I was worried that it would be too dark for my skin however the colour doesn't translate as dark and the payoff isn't super intense which is good! I use a light hand and a fluffy blender/highlight style tulip brush for lightly dusting over the undereye and it works great to lighten the area and set my makeup without it looking cakey or creasing.

I would definitely recommend using only a small dusting of this to avoid cakey building and that horrible jaundiced look which I would imagine wouldnt be hard to achieve with a heavy hand

Overall I would recommend this to a friend and I will purchase again (If i ever run out!)

I am quite fair skin toned and this worked very nicely to set my undereye concealer. I originally used it in the AC on tour palette that Australis released earlier and was the only shade I used all up - so i was quite excited to hear this was being released in a bigger pan size.

The packaging is just standard drugstore style plastic and of course I managed to instantly break it on the hinge which was a bit annoying. The product itself is a nice fine powder and it is easy to apply - when using a brush it can feel a bit powdery and gather on the brush quite quickly.

At the price it is a great product and I have no faults with it - with probably repurchase unless a new product comes out to have a play with!
