Your Australia Day face is in the bag

When I think of Australian beauty brands I can’t get enough of, one naturally springs to mind - Inika Mineral Cosmetics. And it’s not just because they’re certified organic and a dream to wear, it’s also due to the fact that they boast one of the biggest and most interesting colour lines of any mineral make-up brand I know. Oh and did I mention I love the shmick new packaging too? It makes me feel as though I’m using a really luxe brand – but without the hefty price tag.

So when I realised our national holiday was just around the corner, I knew I’d be able to achieve a look I could take from day to night with this bountiful beauty brand. Here’s how it’s going down tonight.

1.) Firstly, I’ve decided to stick to a mostly bare face, with all the attention on my eyes. So to begin, I’ll take to my top lid with a dusting of Inika Mineral Cosmetics Mineral Eyeshadow in Gold Dust. I’ll use a brush from Inika's new Professional Brush Roll to create a thick line, and then smudge it up over my lid.
2.) Next, I’ll keep to the theme of the day and take to my bottom lash line with a well-sharpened Inika Mineral Eyeliner in Green Lagoon, which will meet up with the gold shadow at the outer corners of each eye, making for one pretty Aussie eye look.
3.) To finish, I’ll dust a little Inika Mineral Illuminser over my cheekbones, to ensure they catch the light, and add a hint of Inika Lip Whip in Apricot Whip over my pout for a brilliant sheen there too.
