'Ben Nye was a renowned makeup artist for the
Hollywood film industry extending over four
decades from the 1930s to the early 1980s. He
worked for such films as Gone with the Wind
(1939), Miracle on 34th Street (1947), Gentlemen
Prefer Blondes (1953), The King and I (1956), The
Fly (1958), Valley of the Dolls (1967), and Planet
of the Apes (1968). As he retired he created the
Ben Nye Makeup Company and even to date today
his son Dana Nye-CEO continues
his distinguished reputation of makeup artistry
and the cosmetic line.'
Although the Ben Nye Makeup Company is well
used and renowned in the Hollywood industry
it's also pretty famous and popular for the
supply of TV and Theatrical makeup. The secret
is finally being shared among every day makeup
routines now, favored by the likes of Mario
Dedivanovic and Wayne Goss (that's to us
beauty bloggers/vloggers). Mario famously
creates Kim K's under eye highlight and contour
and Wayne very kindly teaches us how to
replicate it!
Let me just warn you though, this is going to be
one longggg post! I've done my research quite
thoroughly for you ladies because if I'm totally
honest I didn't have a clue about these powders,
there was just no easy way of getting around
them, understanding how to use them, getting a
match let alone trying to find a supplier (that is
in the UK), another thing I also came across
was that these powders are a total hit and
awesome product among our lovely darker skin
tone ladies because of their matching
capabilities...mmm hmmm, how about the rest
of us? What are we going to do?
These are the RAGE right now, every blogger
and vlogger is going ape shit mad over this
awesome powder known as the 'Banana
Powder' and lets be honest like or dislike Kim
Kardashian there's no denying her makeup is
flawless and that contour and under eye
highlight? Gimme gimme! So my dear reader I'm
sure you have come across this one particular
powder known as the 'Ben Nye Banana
Powder'? Yes! I thought so, lets get our head
around it; No? You better buckle up...
Ben Nye Loose Powders are divided into 2 main
categories: Classic & Luxury (Luxury is split into
2 series) which sometimes appear as 3
categories but I worked it out and it's basically
just the two.
1. CLASSIC TRANSLUCENT POWDERS
2. LUXURY POWDERS
BELLA - for lighter shades
MOJAVE - for darker shades
