‘Best dupe ever!’ cry fans of banana powder that’s ‘better than Clinique’ & keeps makeup in place even in summer heat
BEAUTY lovers can’t get enough of a budget-friendly buy that rivals one from a popular brand.
The banana powder locks in makeup even on hot summer days and doesn’t break the bank.
The Wet n Wild Photo Focus Loose Baking Setting Powder, $6.49, is flying off the metaphorical shelves for its high-quality feel for an affordable price.
According to the product description, the “silky weightless setting powder” has a “touch of sheer coverage” to set your makeup all day.
As a bonus, banana powder also has a highlighter effect on the face.
A woman with oily skin called it “the best dupe ever” for the Clinique Blended Face Powder, $36, and gave it a five-star rating.
“I have been wasting money on expensive powder from Clinique for years! This powder actually holds better than the Clinique through the entire workday!” she said.
The Wet n Wild product also has an anti-aging benefit by softly blurring fine lines and acne imperfections.
It’s a buildable powder so it provides light to heavy coverage depending on how much you apply.
Depending on the brush you use, it can also impact the end result.
“I use a large powder brush to lightly powder my face after applying a full face of makeup,” an Amazon customer wrote.
The smooth application process makes it a popular choice for many Amazon shoppers.
Although it comes in four shades ranging from translucent to deep, the banana is the go-to because it works for all skin tones.
Another woman with oily skin called it a “perfect setting powder,” for when the weather starts to get hot.
She added that the setting powder along with a setting spray keeps her “from getting shiny and keeps makeup in place all day.”
It works especially well during the “hot, humid Alabama summers” in her town.
Another makeup lover praised the product but also issued a warning.
“I always hold my breath and keep my mouth shut till it’s all dusted away,” she said.

She warned others not to inhale the powder because “talc is nothing to mess with.”
In the end, she said that overall it does a great job reducing her “naturally oily skin for a more matte look.”
“I do have to constantly reapply, but it doesn’t bother me. I’m still working on my technique,” she added.
She rated the powder five out of five stars and said she “can’t live without it.”
