Ben Nye Banana Powder (so named for its pale yellow colour) is a translucent setting powder, originally designed for use in drag, stage and theatrical makeup.

It’s since been co-opted by makeup artists for setting under eye concealer and foundation on oily skin – and for those who really want their makeup to last, “baking”:

At $15, the powder is affordable, but not very accessible here in Ireland.

That’s where Penneys steps in – ever on the ball, they’ve brought out their own version for €4, and beauty bloggers are going mad for it.

Talk about knowing what the gals want. Some are even giving it ‘holy grail’ status:
