Inika Mineral Foundation

Inika Mineral Foundations are all natural and contain no fillers so they are very concentrated, in other words a little goes a long way.
If using a lightweight moisturizer, make sure it has completely penetrated the skin before applying the mineral foundation.   Inika mineral foundation powders glide beautifully onto dry skin.

To apply:

  • Step 1 – Dip your Inika Vegan Kabuki Brush into the powder and work into the bristles ensuring the brush is evenly coated.

  • Step 2 – Tap off the excess powder, turn the brush bristles up and tap lightly against a hard surface to settle the powder.

  • Step 3 – Apply in light downward strokes all over the face. For heavier coverage, use a circular buffing motion, swirling all over the face. 
The Vegan Kabuki brush is the key to applying our mineral cosmetics in a professional manner.  It has been designed to work specifically with your Inika powders. You can also use a latex sponge for a more matte finish.
Do not add more mineral makeup to the brush when working around the eye area.  It will have a tendency to settle into the lines around your eyes. 
The secret to using mineral makeup is to apply it in very sheer layers.  It is the light refracting qualities of the pure minerals that give it the ability to cover the skin naturally and allow your inner beauty to shine forth.

For those with dry, flaky skin, Inika Mineral Foundations can be blended with moisturizers to create a crème foundation. First moisturize as usual, and then tap a small amount of powder into the palm of the hand. Add a drop of moisturizer. Blend the two products together until a smooth, creamy consistency is achieved. Use your fingers or make-up wedge to apply.

For the perfect medium-light coverage with oil controlling properties, blend equal amounts of Inika Mineral Foundation and Inika Setting Powder.

For post laser surgery:  Do not apply minerals over a heavy petrolatum based balm or heavy cream.  Makeup will get cakey. 

If you have very dry skin, you can spritz a little skin freshener on top. This will re-hydrate your skin and take away a dry or flaky look.  Also, if you mist with the skin freshener, and then use a flocked sponge or brush to lightly smooth your make up in a downward motion; you will minimize the appearance of large pores.

Inika Mineral Make-up can be applied after certain facial work and treatments and with the soothing and calming properties of zinc, mineral cosmetics are the only cosmetics recommended by leading beautician’s, dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons.

Inika Mineral Setting Powder

Inika Setting powder can be used to prime your face for long lasting oil control, simply apply setting powder with our Kabuki brush, then apply foundation on top.

For maximum oil absorption, apply with a cosmetic sponge before foundation application. Press it into the skin for best results.

To reduce the appearance of large pores, apply setting powder with a sponge before foundation application. Press and roll the sponge into the skin to smooth the skin surface.

For long lasting, matte finish, simply dust Inika Setting Powder over your foundation with our kabuki brush.

To prime lips and eye area for long lasting makeup, apply with kabuki or an eyeshadow brush before colour applications.

You can apply the powder to your face or body, looks great on your chest and arms. Apply it in short, feathery, downward strokes. You want the fine hairs and pores of your skin to lay flat. Even if you’re shooting for maximum coverage, remember that several light layers are better than one thick one.

  • You can also buff this if you really want to glow and sparkle.
  • The Kabuki brush is the key to applying Inika mineral cosmetics in a professional manner.
  • Bronzer can be used in place of foundation or mixed in with your foundation.

Bronzer can be used as a body shimmer – buff on your décolletage to even out the skin tones and use all over the body in place of fake tan. 

Bronzer can also be used to ‘warm up’ your foundation.  Use sparingly over the face area concentrating on the areas that the sun would naturally hit.The secret to using mineral makeup is to apply it in very sheer layers.
