New with Mineral Makeup?

We help you on your way

Are you new to the world of makeup and considering giving mineral makeup a try? Or are you already familiar with traditional makeup but want to switch to mineral products because of their natural ingredients and benefits for the skin? Either way, it can be a confusing journey if you don't know where to start. In this guide, we will cover everything beginners need to know about mineral makeup, including what to look for when choosing products and handy tips for flawless application.

What is mineral makeup?

Let's start with the basics: what exactly is mineral makeup? Mineral makeup is composed of natural minerals that have been ground into a fine powder. These minerals, such as titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, iron oxides, and mica, are often used in products like foundation, blush, eyeshadow, and bronzer. What sets mineral makeup apart from traditional makeup is what it does not contain: these products are often free from potentially irritating substances such as talc, synthetic dyes, fragrances, and preservatives.

What should you pay attention to when choosing mineral makeup?

1. Ingredients:
- Always check the ingredient list of mineral makeup products. Look for products that are free from harmful chemicals and synthetic substances.
- Pay special attention to ingredients such as titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, mica, and iron oxides, which are often the main ingredients in mineral makeup.

2. Coverage:
- Mineral makeup comes in various coverage options, ranging from light to full. Consider how much coverage you need and choose accordingly.
- For a natural look, you can choose a light to medium coverage. If you need more coverage, look for products that are specifically formulated for full coverage.

3. Color selection:
- Finding the right color is essential for a flawless look. Many brands offer a wide range of shades, so take the time to find the perfect match for your skin tone.

4. Skin type:
- Consider your skin type when choosing mineral makeup products. If you have oily skin, look for mattifying products. Loose powder foundations are your best choice. If you prefer ease of use and higher coverage, our compact foundations are perfect for you. If you have dry skin and are looking for higher coverage, our liquid formulas are suitable for you. 

User tips for mineral makeup:

1. Hydrate your skin
For a flawless application, it is important to have well-hydrated skin. Use a moisturizing cream that suits your skin type before applying makeup.

2. Use a primer
A primer helps to keep makeup in place longer and provides a smooth base. Choose a primer suitable for your skin type and apply it evenly over your face. The green primer is for skin with a lot of redness. Our rice powder primer is for skin that shines quickly. Our pink primer is for skin that can be refreshed. For flawless skin, our Flawless Base and Olive Primer are good options.

3. Use the right tools
Invest in good quality makeup brushes for a flawless application. A kabuki brush is ideal for applying mineral foundation, while soft eyeshadow brushes are perfect for applying eyeshadow.

4. Build up layers
Mineral makeup is often buildable, which means you can apply multiple thin layers to achieve the desired coverage. Start with a small amount of product and add more if needed.

5. Blend well
Blend the makeup well to avoid harsh lines and create a natural look. Take your time to blend the products thoroughly, especially in transition areas such as the jawline and neck.

6. Fix your makeup
Use a finishing powder to set your mineral makeup and ensure it lasts all day. This helps to create a more dewy finish. Our Chiffon Finish (available in 2 shades) and/or Flawless Finish are a nice option here. For a quickly glowing skin, the rice powder-based finisher is a good choice (also available in 2 shades available). If you want to refresh a matte skin, then Glow Banana's! and Youth Dew are your best choice.
