Ben Nye banana powder is typically used as a setting powder over makeup. As such, you should have all your makeup complete. A little bit of the powder goes a long way, so 1 or 2 shakes should be enough. Simply screw the lid off and set it down on a flat surface. Shake some of the powder into the lid. It's best to start out with only a little powder. You can always shake more onto the lid. If the powder did not come with a screw-on lid, shake it onto a palette instead. Focus on the areas where you applied concealer and any other cream-based makeup. You want to use enough powder so that you can barely see the makeup underneath it. This may seem like a lot, but you will eventually dust it off. This technique is known as "baking." It helps make the setting powder even more effective. Close your eyes and tilt your head back while doing this so that the powder doesn't fall down your face. Keep your face tilted back, if possible, so that the powder does not fall off. During this time, the powder will absorb into your face. If you take a peek in the mirror, you may even notice it becoming translucent! It would be best if you waited 10 to 15 minutes. If this is not possible, then 3 to 5 minutes will work. Once 10 to 15 minutes have passed, straighten back up. Use a clean powder brush to dust off any excess powder from your face. Try to get as much of the powder off as possible. Your face may look a little pale or yellow-tinted after this, which is mainly due to powder residue. Don't worry, this will go away after a few minutes. Ben Nye powder is very strong, so your makeup won't budge throughout the day. This also means that it will make your makeup a little stubborn to remove at the end of the day. Your usual makeup removers will do the trick, but you will need to use a little more effort and elbow grease than you would for regular setting powders.
