Because of this I rely on colour correctors and concealer to hide dark circles, leaving under my eyes bright and ready for the day! I’m going to use this blog to explain the benefits of using Mineral colour correctors!

First let's talk about NCinc’s yellow corrector, a yellow colour corrector is designed to conceal and hide any dark areas on your face and create an even looking skin tone. Most commonly used under the eyes to hide dark circles. The yellow corrector is applied before foundation and any other products, apply a very small amount as NCinc’s Correctors are very pigmented! Blend gently using circular motions and don’t be afraid to add a bit more product if you want a fuller coverage.

Once the corrector is applied you can then go in and apply your foundation and concealer, once you have finished blending

I’m hoping that with some tips on setting Mineral Makeup I can help your makeup stay put throughout the day!

The key is to set your makeup correctly never leave the house without setting your makeup, your makeup will start to slide off your skin straight away especially if you have oily skin! Once you have applied your base which will be your foundation and concealer always use a finishing powder! The finishing powder will make sure that your makeup will stay where it should be! Apply a generous layer all over your face, blending gently to make sure you don’t ruin your foundation underneath!

How can I apply layers of Mineral Makeup without my skin looking dry and flaky? I understand that some people are weary to use a full face of makeup products that are powder based. We have all had a time where we have over done it on the powder and you skin looking dry and cakey.

I’m here to tell you that this won’t happen to you! Obviously if you apply an excessive amount of powder your makeup will look very cakey. However this is why Ncinc created buildable formulas, to give you the freedom to add as little or as much as you want to create a look that suits you! This goes for all of NCinc’s products, for example our Mineral bronzer. Some of you like a more contoured framed look whereas others like a sunkissed glow. It’s all about blending until you’re happy with how your makeup looks.

Always start with a light small layer and then you can determine if that is the right coverage for you! Continue to build the product in even layers you achieve the look you want. You will

Now you have washed your face, grab your go to moisturiser and apply a generous layer all over and let absorb.
