Hi Dolls! Speaking again on my hatred of dark circles, I feel like this will be so informative for you ladies (or guys!) who are an NC25-30 shade. Everyone raves about Ben Nye's banana powder which IS amazing, and I do use it for clients with deeper skin tones but it doesn't seem to do anything for me except create weird yellow-toned patches under my eyes. Ben Nye also carry the same powder but in the shade Cameo, but I've seen it go for around £30 which is crazy! (Although a makeup fanatic like myself, don't be surprised if I do a review on that too!) I've also used Benefit's powderflage and BareMinerals well rested concealer but this is my fave. Enough rambling however, let's get on with the review!
On application: I use this powder after my concealer to set it. I use the Real Techniques blush brush as the rounded and fluffy edge is perfect to get in the corners of your eyes and it also blends the product beautifully. I did use the RT setting brush as well but I found that it gave me a bit too much product to work with. The powder itself is very, very light and it does have tiny shimmer particles in it (nothing chunky, don't worry) it just gives the eyes a beautiful lift and compliments the concealer perfectly.

Final Thoughts
This product is amazing! If your skin is too light for banana powder but too dark to use the No. 1 in this powder, this is perfect! I used No.1 but in flash photography it would reflect and I ended up looking like a ghost. I will say that in the above pictures, it's not like my circles have disappeared, but it is a combination of the lighting and me not putting as much concealer as I normally do. If you don't want to purchase Ben Nye's cameo powder but aren't too keen on the pricetag, then I do recommend this powder. It's amazing!
