One of the biggest struggles within the makeup world as we all know is finding the right foundation shade. No one wants a big orange line along their jawline and a pale white neck, that is a no go! Isn’t it just the worst when you think you’ve found the right shade but you end up looking like a pale ghost? I myself am very fair skinned, meaning I always go to the lightest shades but end up looking as white as a sheet! But it doesn't end there, finding the right formula is tricky too. Some foundations can make your skin look flaky, oily or patchy. Many people who are just learning about mineral makeup may dread the thought of finding their right shade because it’s hard enough finding liquid foundation shade, so wouldn't it be just as hard or even harder with loose powder? Well it’s not, I find it a lot easier to find a shade that matches my skin tone perfectly with the help of NCinc’s colour guide.

Goodbye summer, hello Autumn! Who doesn't love Autumn? The dark cold nights and pumpkin spice lattes. My favourite thing about Autumn is the changing colours of the leaves, the orange and browns give me the best inspiration for Autumn makeup looks.  It's time to ditch the bright eye-shadow and lipsticks, I'm ready to see dark smokey looks! In this blog I am going to be giving you some makeup tips as well as overall skin care tips for the cooler weather. If you have never attempted an Autumn look, you can go and check out our blog Easy Mineral Makeup Look For Autumn With NCinc Products.

My first tip for you is a makeup tip! As we all know everyone loves a smokey eye when autumn comes around. NCinc's Mineral Eyeliner is perfect for the soft smokey look you want to achieve.

Having oily skin is the worst! I suffer with oily skin and it has taken me a long time find the right products and tips that help me keep my oily skin under control. In this blog I'm going to be sharing my tips with you!

My first tip is simply washing your face. It's that easy, at least two to three times a week you should be using a gentle exfoliating scrub to wash your face. The exfoliating scrub will remove any oil and dirt that are clogging your pores, also the scrub will remove dead skin from the surface of your face leaving your skin smooth and clean. As well as exfoliating it's important to use a gentle face wash daily to keep your skin looking fresh and healthy especially on the days you won't be exfoliating!

When it comes to applying foundation it's important to make sure you prepare your skin first.Go and check out our How

How often do you clean your makeup brushes? You should be cleaning your makeup brushes thoroughly at least every two weeks! In this blog I'm going to tell you why it's important to keep your makeup tools clean and how to correctly wash them!

Cleaning your makeup brushes plays a bigger part when you are applying your makeup than you might think. Reusing unwashed makeup tools can leave you with an uneven application, even causing acne break-outs and blackheads from the oils that still linger in your brushes. As the inside of your makeup sponges and brushes hold so many chemicals and bacteria from the products you use that you can't see.

Just like using fake beauty products, we all know they can have terrible effects on your skin, well it's the same as using dirty brushes. I bet you will think twice about reusing unwashed brushes on your skin! So how can you clean them properly?

You are probably thinking why do I have to double cleanse? isn't once enough? Well it's not! In this blog I will be telling you why it's important to double cleanse and how to do it.  

What are the benefits of double cleansing?

Double cleansing after a full day of wearing makeup will leave your skin feeling fresh and clean! Sometimes just using a makeup wipe or cleaning your face once is not enough. Makeup and oil will still be on your face and in your pores, even if you can't see it!

When makeup and oils are left on your skin, especially overnight, there is a chance you will wake up with blemishes and blackheads. We have all fallen asleep with makeup on once or twice waking up to your skin feeling dry and dirty the next day. However

What is so good about our Miracle Veil powder?

Nc-Inc's Miracle Veil  has many benefits to make your makeup look flawless! The main purpose of our miracle veil is to give you a flawless finish. Smoothing out any imperfections and lines set in the skin.

Our Miracle veil can be worn underneath or over the top of your other makeup, this is useful for those of you who have oily or combination skin. We all love a good highlighter that adds a shine to our face however I know personally I hate having that oily look! If you are like me this powder will be exactly what you need. The Miracle Veil powder absorbs the natural oils and any extra moisture on your makeup!  

Why should I buy mineral makeup?

There's always a worry when trying new makeup that your skin will react to the ingredients or that the product will cause an acne breakout. But with mineral makeup you will never have to worry about that again! Our mineral makeup contains only naturally sourced ingredients, specially chosen to leave your skin free from harmful chemicals, fragrances and oils that will irritate your skin and lead to acne break-outs. Your skin will thank you for it!

We understand that for those of you suffer from sensitive or acne prone skin it's important to know what's going on your face and to feel comfortable with the ingredients within the products you use. However when using mineral make up you will never have to worry about trying new makeup again. You can be in control of your skin and never worry about spots, allergic reactions or clogged pores! For people

We are pleased to announce the addition of two new products to the NCINC range today! We have added a black mineral eyeliner powder, perfect for adding the finishing touches to your makeup. We also have added our first highlighter, a white illuminating powder to accentuate your features and add the slightest touch of shimmer to your cheeks. Use our mineral eyeliner for adding the perfect finishing touch to your makeup. To use our mineral eyeliner, dampen your brush slightly with a drop of water to help the minerals adhere to the brush. Work the powder into the brush slightly to prevent it sprinkling onto your cheeks and work the powder onto your lash-line with small short strokes.
