Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Microfinishing Pressed Powder Review




When the "Banana Powder" from Ben Nye got ALL the raves online, I immediately got one and used it a lot of times for makeup gigs!  I even posted a "tip" on how to use it and create longer-lasting makeup!

One huge complaint that I can say about the Banana Powder from the said brand, it is BULKY and very MESSY!

When Make Up For Ever came up with their own version of a "yellow powder" or banana powder, and this time, in pressed format, I had to grab one and test it out!

A finishing powder that is ultra-blurring and light-diffusing to impart unfiltered perfection on all skintones—in every light. 
The last step in your makeup routine, this pressed powder blurs, smooths, and reduces shine with the even, naturally matte coverage of ULTRA HD Pressed Powder. Its lightweight formula of silica and micronized pigments absorb excess oils, while illuminating your features, and diminishing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. ULTRA HD Pressed Powder has been revamped with an ultra-fine texture to give everyone a second-skin finish. Formulated to look invisible under Ultra HD 4K technology, it’s ideal for every skintone, while the non-drying formula delivers a visibly flawless finish in any light.

Housed in a better (IMHO) packaging, I like it that it protects the powder and mirror pretty well!

As compared to other Banana Powders I've tried, this has a light hint of yellow which is just right for Asian Skin.  I also appreciate that this comes in pressed forma so it's easier for me to tote along!

Swatch:
02 Banana

The texture is amazingly smooth, it can create a smooth skin in an instant even for users with dry complexion (me!)  The powder can surprisingly fill in lines, pores and wrinkles without making it look dry and flaky.

The scary thing about most Microfinishing powders are the chances of creating white cast, thankfully, there's none for this particular powder and I'm happy it photographs really really well!

You can opt to use any brush of choice but since I only need a few amount, I like to use a stippling brush just like the one I used which is from Make Up For Ever too!

Just so you know, a little of the said product is enough to create smoother canvass.  Check out my photo below on how "fresh" my skin looks even if I didn't apply much base makeup underneath.

This photo was taken with directy flash and so far, so good!  I don't have much makeup on but I just wanted to show you guys how my skin looks with a tiny amount of Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Microfinishing Pressed Powder in Banana.

Remember how I love to mix RCMA translucent powder and Ben Nye Banana powder to lessen the "yellow tint" and to prevent RCMA powder from creating white cast?

Well this single product is that perfect combination I've been trying to create every single makeup gig!  I'm grateful to own this and I can't wait to purchase the Peach and Translucent version because it is just AMAZING I have to "catch 'em all"!

How do you find the Banana Pressed Powder on me?

Do you think this is a hit or miss?


Available in all MUFE stores priced locally at Php2,250.00.  You can also purchase this online at www.makeupforever.com.ph.
