Kat Von D Lock-It Brightening Powder A Replacement for My Ben Nye Banana Powder?

Kat Von D Lock-It Brightening Powder is currently gearing up to potentially take the place my beloved Ben Nye Banana Powder! The question here is, will it be a good replacement? Kat Von D Lock-It Brightening Powder is a new Spring 2017 created exclusively for use under eyes. This weightless, tinted loose powder is available in three shades (Yup, there’s a banana yellow shade called Golden).

I’ve actually never been a strong supporter of setting my concealer with powder because I have drier eyes. One day, I tried it though and buffed it gently under my eyes after concealer application using a soft, bushy blending brush. Every since that day I was hooked. It really does set concealer for all day wear plus it brightens up the entire area. There’s been some fails here though like Laura Mercier’s Secret Brightening Powder that never quite worked for me, nor Sephora’s Bright Set Loose Finishing Powder. I do love Besame’s Brightening Powders to do this job but I must admit since my beloved Skin Food Salmon Dark Circle Powder got discontinued I mostly use Ben Nye’s Banana Powder for this job! The yellow powder works well to set my concealer and brightens up my entire eye area.

Now, let’s see how the Kat Von D Lock-It Brightening Powder stands up!

Beautyblender Fab Five Sponge Set For Your Zombie Apocalypse Kit

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

I have to admit I can’t get past using one Beautyblender never mind five! But this Beautyblender Fab Five Sponge Set is perfect for your Zombie Apocalypse Kit because when the zombies come, and yes they are coming, who knows how easy it’ll be to get Beautyblenders. When when Negan and Lucille come a calling, well, Beauty Blenders could make for good bargaining tools.

No, but seriously, I can’t really get passed using one Beautyblender myself! I feel like I don’t put on enough foundation to really benefit from the use of this little sponge but I do know that I don’t just use my Beauty Blender to apply makeup, I use it to apply skincare too.

But be honest with me, do you see yourself going through five Beautyblenders?
