This is a frequently asked question, as many people have no idea what Mineral Makeup is. When it comes to shopping for makeup, we instantly buy the familiar brands that we know work for us.

So being introduced to Mineral Makeup can be strange after years of using liquid makeup products, you may not think Mineral Makeup is for you. So what is Mineral Makeup? What does Mineral mean?

Sometimes people forget after a long day or maybe it’s just a case of not removing every trace. We all know it’s a horrible feeling that fills us with dread, praying not to wake up with black clogged pores and blemishes! I will be telling you the best ways to remove your makeup and how to be sure you have removed every trace! 

The first thing that people usually go for are makeup wipes, personally I wouldn’t recommend them! There's nothing wrong with them however I find that when wiping my face with them my skin very quickly becomes red and irritated!

You might be thinking what's the harm in sharing a bit of makeup with a family member or close friend? Will it cause any damage to my face? Makeup sharing is a big no! You should never share makeup with anyone, even family members. When I was young and in school I would always see my friends using each others makeup especially if one was running late and desperately needed a quick touch up, I always remember thinking how wrong it was! In this blog I will be telling you some scary reasons as to why you should not be sharing makeup!

The first thing and possibly the most important thing I will be starting with is your eyes. We all know the eyes are very delicate and we should always look after them. Don’t ever share mascara, eyeliner or eyeshadow this can lead to stye's, bacteria build up and even pink eye! For those of you who wear contact lenses to improve sight or change your eye colour this can be so dangerous as bacteria can build up behind the lens!

When I was growing up I wish I would’ve taken better care of my skin. When I started wearing makeup I thought that a simple facial cleanser every night would do the job but it really didn’t! In today's blog I’m going to be sharing some of my skincare tips and tricks with you to achieve clear glowing skin that everyone wants!

My first tip for you is always double cleanse after removing your makeup! Using a makeup wipe or a cleanser once will not get rid of 100% of your makeup and dirt from that day. Double cleansing is the only way to be sure that all traces of makeup, dirt and oils are removed from your pores and the surface of your face. For more details on double cleansing go and check out our blog Should I Be Double Cleansing?

My next tip is something that really changed my makeup application, exfoliating. 2-3 times a week use a gentle exfoliating scrub, What an exfoliating scrub does is re

Loving makeup and suffering with acne or acne scars is such a big battle! Finding makeup formulas that really work with bumpy red skin is difficult! Everyone's skin is different, it’s frustrating when you aren’t able to cover acne with your foundation or you apply so much that your skin dries out and becomes flaky.

Acne scars can cause redness under the skin, which can be a pain to cover the same as blemishes and rosacea. NCinc’s Mineral Green Colour Corrector works wonders! The main purpose of this product is to cancel out any redness on your skin. Once you have prepared your skin for makeup application, before applying foundation, apply the Green Corrector to any red areas on your face. Very gently blend this out in small circular motions. Remember when using

If you are new to mineral makeup using loose powder as a foundation can be intimidating. One of the biggest questions we receive is “how do we apply and blend out the foundation?” Using loose powder foundation and achieving an even coverage is so much easier than you think!

NCinc’s single jars come with a sifter, the easiest way to pick up the foundation is to tip the product into the lid of the jar. Using NCinc’s Kabuki Brush will give you the most even application possible! Dip the brush into the product in the jar lid tap off the excess and dab the brush onto your face transferring the product, gently blend the foundation in circular motions on your face starting from the inside making your way out. If you want more of a fu

Mineral makeup just like any other makeup will stay put depending on the way you prepare your skin! Mineral makeup is great because the formula will work with any skin type that you may have. I know that oily skin sufferers worry about the formula separating on their face throughout the day as I have this problem myself. Dry skin sufferers know it’s a struggle to find foundation formulas that won’t leave you with bits of skin flaking off your face and leaving blemishes uncovered because of uneven application!

First of all you need to establish what type of skin you have, some people have combination skin and do not notice, making foundation shopping a pain. Knowing your skin and preparing for the day ahead will determine how long your makeup lasts. If you suffer with dry skin make sure to exfoliate your skin and apply a facial moisturiser to your face bef
