The Dupes Chronicles #6 | NYX HD Finishing Powder Vs Ben Nye (both in Banana)

Hey there my lovely followers,

Today I am back with a post from the Dupes series and this time I am comparing as you might have guessed, two setting powders.  I have been reading and seeing lots of reviews about how the Banana shade is good as a setting powder.

Truth be told, I wanted to buy the Ben Nye Powder, however shipping cost is quite expensive as product is shipped from the US, so I went ahead and bought the NYX HD Finishing Powder instead it is believed to be a very good dupe for the famous Ben Nye Banana Powder.  I have been really enjoying using it, as my under eye setting powder.  However, in order to review them both I decided to order the sample size of the Ben Nye from Amazon.

The packaging of the NYX product comes in a compact-like, black plastic container with a see-through lid.  If you are taking this on-the-go, then you will need to carry a brush or sponge since it does not have one.  As amount you get a good 8g of product.  With regards to consistency, this product is intensely pigmented and very finely milled pressed powder, very smooth to the touch but might come across as slightly powdery.  It also sits well on my under eye.

Even though it is a yellow-toned powder which should work wonderfully for warm-toned skin, I found it worked well on my skin.  However, be aware not to go over board as it can look a little bit ashy.

The full product package of the Ben Nye comes in a bottle container, which might be a little inconvenient to use, however, if I ever buy the full bottle I will transfer some of the product in a more handy and manageable container.
