Banana powder can be used on almost any skin tone and undertone. If you are very fair, I suggest using minimal amounts of this powder: If you apply too much, you'll look like you have jaundice.
This a great multitasking powder. It's been around for quite some time. It only recently became very commercially popular when Kim K's MUA started using it. This is a very lightweight powder that works for brightening up all skin tones. You can use it to highlight, and it's great for counteracting deep purple discolorations(under eye circles) and more intense red discolorations. It can also be used as an eyeshadow. It's very finely milled and super lightweight. This is a staple in my kit.
