Would this powder make a darker skin tone look "ashy" or almost like HD powder gone wrong? Along the color of Gabrielle Union

It depends on the amount but I think ashy. I just felt like it wasn't as yellow as people made it seem. Only when I used a yellow/mustard concealer and that on top did it come out more yellow. My skin tone is probably Taraji Henson. I would try the other Ben bye colors as well. I just purchased topaz and camel to see if that's better on my skin tone. I know it will be better on darker tones.

This powder would make you look ashy. The banana color is for lighter skin tones. There is another Ben Nye powder for darker skin tones.

The powder no, the color yes. This powder is a very light, irredescant texture. It does come in a range of colors, included a deep bronze that I believe would look well on darker skin tone. Finishing powders tend to have a lot of Talc in them, which can dull even the lightest skin tone if not used properly. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure I know the answer. My own skin tone is quite dark (olive with yellow undertones), and I am not sure how the product would look on someone with lighter skin. Wish I could help!

they have different shades. but if you're light skinned I would recommend their original banana powder. it should look great on you..

I won't get this powder for a fair complexion. I have a tan/bronze like complexion. I think it works best for olive and yellow undertones. I hope this helps.

I'm a medium skin tone and it does NOT leave a yellow tone! If you are of a pale undertone I would suggest you use the white! But this never crease when I use my concealer underneath this powder is perfect!

I have used a very small amount mixed with moisturizer on my face. I think the product alone would be way to dark for my fair skin.

I think the colors in the palette would be too light. I'm Italian and tan easily. With that said, the darker powder color blends into my skin tone and it doesn't make for good contouring. You would be better off using Maybelines "Fit Me" line. Buy the darkest shade to contour and the lightest shade to high light. That's what I do for summer. Hope that helps!

No. This product is simply a lot of different kinds of oils. Nothing that would damage your color. If anything it makes it shinier :)

I'm not a professional, but I do use this color frequently. I don't think it would have any problem lightening medium ash brown hair. It's pretty strong. My natural color is dark blonde/light brown and my results are very similar to the photo on the box.

I am caucasian with medium skin. It is a shade dark for me so I blend it. I love the product. It never causes any irritation to my skin.

Depending on your natural hair color, if you're trying to avoid brassiness ("red tone"), stick with ash or violet colors. The "N" in "7N" stands for neutral. That may work, but you may be better off with a "7A" or "7V." (The V isn't as common, but I know Ion has a color like that.) If you use the 7N and have red tones, this Brass Banisher product works fairly well. You can also try Wella Color Charm toner in T18. That may darken your color a little bit, but it will remove the red. You'll need to use a 20 developer with it. If your natural color is dark (brown or black), stick with the ashy colors. If you're already blonde and just want to go lighter, the neutral color may work ok. Wella Color Charm also has some extreme ash colors. I believe there is a 7AA color. I went from dark brown to light blonde. I like the intense ash colors, they really help to get rid of the "orange" that inevitably occurs when I dye my hair. But if your hair is dark, just using a 7 color probably isn't going to make it blonde. You'll probably have to bleach it first, then use the color, and probably add a toner. Unless you want to try the L'Oreal HiColor product. I, personally, haven't used that, but it's supposed to help you go from dark to light in one step with no brassiness.

I'm sure if you mixed enough you would see the result. You may want to test it first on a small batch to see if the color would remain consistent once dry. This stuff does dry much darker than originally, so be prepared for that.It's cheap enough, I would say give it a try. But don't be too disappointed if it wouldn't match just right, as the previous comment noted.

It is a little darker than I like. I usually buy ivory or the step above ivory for foundation, and I would buy the one that is just slightly lighter than this peach color if I was going to buy the powder again.

I think "fair to natural" would be too dark for fair, freckled skin..this product seems to be for only light tan/tan skintones..even the "lightest" one is too dark...

No! This is pretty dark out of the bottle and adjusts to your skin tone. I've used this for 6 months and have had no issues with my skin lightening.

The powder didn't show on my hair, which is one of the darker shades of brown. It does make the hair feel knotted and teased, so be careful with it.
