Have a read of this, it can give you a better answer than I can! I saw some advice from Jacqueline a few weeks ago regarding the banana powder which I'm having a look for. I'll post it when I find it :) hope you get some more answers!

Ahh yes, that was my comment.
I haven't personally used the Morphe banana powder but my opinion still stands on the subject.

I think that ever since the Kim K myth that she bakes with banana powder came along its been blown out of proportion as being to answer-to-all when it's really not. I find more people are better off with a translucent powder. If there is any extra unwanted tones, there are other shades like peach or salmon that would work better on those with different undertones

I find that ever since the popularity of banana toned powders came to be I've seen way too many girls with overly yellow toned faces when their neck/rest of body looks neutral or pink.
Even girls with neutral/minimal yellow undertones end up making their faces look too yellow.


I do agree, that used minimally it can look fine but a lot of people tend to bake with it and the moisture from their base or their skins natural oils that come out end up making the powder look more saturated/too yellow.

The Morphe one looks similar in color to the Ben Nye one so if you use it under your eyes then use it sparingly.
You seem to be on the lighter side so maybe find one that's a lighter yellow shade if you intend on using more. the NYX one is lighter in colors although it's a tad chalky

The Ben Nye one (when use for baking) is better on medium to medium/dark skin tones.
Any lighter, it's too dark.
Any darker, it's too ashy (Ben Nye has another yellow toned powder for deeper skintones)
