Review of Inika Mineral EyeshadowBy Catherine G.
Packaging Inika Mineral Eyeshadow has a plastic screw lid jar which holds 1.5g of powder.
Application Inika Mineral Eyeshadow is a very fine powder which gives a light silky feel and is easy to blend in.
Using an eyeshadow brush – simply dip into the pot and tap off any excess on the pot lid before applying. If you want to use it as an eyeliner get a slightly damp eyeliner brush and dip into the pot then apply as normal.

Results Personally I love mineral make-up and have been using it for the last two year’s. It has been proven to actually be good for your skin so just think you can wear make-up all day without it clogging up your pores! Also it feels so light to wear and the reflective pigments give a luminescent look.
Developed by this well known Australian Cosmetics company, this medium brown shade of Inika Mineral Eyeshadow is long lasting and gives a good depth of colour. Being a mineral powder you can apply more if you prefer it slightly darker but a little goes a long way with this. It gives a very nice natural daytime look and to jazz it up for the evening simply use a little water to create a more vibrant effect.
Pros: Very good for sensitive skins as the eye shadow shouldn’t cause any irritation with the nice gentle ingredients they use.
I can see why it won an award at the Natural Beauty Awards in 2008!
Can also be used wet as an eyeliner so two products for the price of one really!
Cons: Nothing!! But I am a huge fan of mineral make ups – if you are not used to using mineral make-up it may be worth watching one of the online demos but I find it very simple to use.
