NUI Cosmetics PRESSED EYE SHADOW has a soft, buttery and silky smooth texture with high pigmentation that is very easy to build - making these eye shadows ideal for both day and night look. With 75% ORGANIC ingredients, NUI mineral eye shadows will become your secret weapon for radiant, chemical-free look.

TIP: "Wet products, like cream eye shadows, adhere better than dry, so avoid putting powder eye shadow on top of powder eye shadow. Instead, try putting on a cream shadow base like a nude or natural colour, and then paint on top of the base with eye shadows. Professional makeup artists usually put a combination of cream and powder on you. They start with a cream base, and then they overlay powders on that." Daniel Vann, a makeup artist.

NUI offers 3 shades of cream based eye shadow that can be combined in the described way. In addition, HUKARERE is ideal as an eye brightener that is strategically applied to the corners of the eye for an open and radiant look. You can find more information about the correct application of eye shadows on many You Tube channels.

Key ingredients in this natural eye shadow include rice powder, silica, mica and jojoba oil.

Rice powder is obtained by grinding rice grains to a fine powder. It is very soothing and adds a protective film to the skin. It is transparent, medium absorbent, but leaves a matte look with a silky feel. It is a great talc replacement and can be used alone to simply mattify the skin.

Silica is a fine powder of mineral origin (silicon dioxide microspheres = titanium dioxide coated iron oxides), which functions as a filler. It guarantees a perfect looking skin, because it fills fine wrinkles, hides skin imperfections and reflects the light, thus instantly making the skin look younger. The filler is lightly tinted beige, which results in a healthy looking skin. Silica is a translucent colour, characterized by good adhesion to the skin, thus extending the lasting effect of the powder.

Mica is a silicate mineral used in cosmetics for its brilliant or shimmering appearance. It helps reduce the visibility of pores. Mica is also translucent, it ensures optimum dispersion of the pigments, has good adhesion to the skin, extending the lasting effect of the powder.

Another ingredient is magnesium stearate. It is used in mineral makeup as texturizer, opacifier, and non-gelling thickener, it acts as film-forming and anti-caking agent, and also as lubricating agent for enhanced slip and silkiness. It is recognised as safe to use in natural cosmetics.

The herbal extracts of Goldenseal, Oregano, Thyme or Lavender are added to protect and heal the skin because of their astringent and antiseptic properties.
