‘Best Dupe Ever!’ Shout Buyers of Banana Powder That’s ‘Better Than Clinique’
Beauty lovers can’t get enough of an affordable buy that can compete with a popular brand.
The banana powder ensures that your makeup stays in place even on hot summer days and it is also not expensive.
The Wet n Wild Photo Focus Loose Baking Setting Powder, $6.49, is selling like hotcakes due to its high quality and affordable price.
According to the product description, the “silky, weightless setting powder” has “light coverage” to set your makeup all day long.
As an added bonus, banana powder also has a highlighting 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’ve been wasting money on expensive Clinique powder for years! This powder lasts better than Clinique all workday!” she said.
The Wet n Wild product also has an anti-aging effect by gently blurring fine lines and acne imperfections.
It’s a buildable powder, meaning it provides light to heavy coverage depending on how much you apply.
Depending on the brush you use, this can also affect the end result.

“I use a large powder brush to lightly powder my face after applying makeup to my entire face,” wrote one Amazon customer.
The smooth application process makes it a popular choice for many Amazon customers.
Although the color comes in four shades, from sheer to dark, the banana shade is the best choice as it suits all skin tones.
Another woman with oily skin called it a “perfect setting powder” for when the weather warms up.
She added that the setting powder combined with the setting spray keeps her skin “shiny and helps her makeup stay in place all day.”
It works especially well during the “hot, humid Alabama summers” in her city.
Another makeup lover praised the product, but also issued a warning.
“I always hold my breath and keep my mouth shut until it’s all cleaned off,” she said.
She warned others not to inhale the powder, saying “talc is not dangerous.”
Ultimately, she said that overall, the product does an excellent job of reducing her “naturally oily skin and giving her a more matte look.”
“I do have to reapply it all the time, but I don’t mind. I’m still working on my technique,” she added.
She gave the powder five out of five stars and said she “can’t live without it anymore.”
