Battle of the Powders: Sacha Buttercup vs Ben Nye Banana Powder

Sacha Buttercup 

Sacha Buttercup is winning the hearts of makeup lovers. Their positive reviews made me give it a try. I must say I love it! The powder glides on so well and it sets so perfectly. It is perfect for those with medium to dark skin tone or with yellow undertones. I have been trying it for a few months now and I must say I love It!

Ben Nye Banana Powder

I have tried this powder and I must say,  it is perfect for those who are into photography or stage makeup. It works great under the eyes to brighten it but it is too light and can be a bit cakey or ashy looking.

My pick is definitely Sacha Buttercup. It gives an effortless flawless look!
