What makes the English Mineral Makeup company mineral powders superior to other?
We purchase the absolute best quality minerals available. There are two major factors that determines the quality of mineral makeup:
1. The quality of raw minerals – raw mineral colours are available in the different grades by the manufacturers around the world, depending on the level of purity. Ours are the always best we can source.
2. No preservatives or bulking additives – why is this so important to mention? Some mineral makeups offered in the market contain additional ingredients that can be skin irritants, such as bismuth oxychloride, talc, fillers, rice flour etc and they are still considered to be “Mineral Makeup”!
Fish scales and Cochineal beetles are also commonly used as a cheap way to add colour red and glimmer- YUK!
At English Mineral Makeup, we do NOT compromise the integrity and quality of our product – we source the highest ethically produced grades of pure & natural minerals available in the market. Also, we guarantee our products are free from additives that can cause cause skin irritation and allergies such as parabens, mineral oil, perfumes, fragrances, dyes, bismuth oxychloride, talc, rice flour etc. We never use nano particles or preservatives.
Do the English Mineral Makeup company's products contain nano-particles?
We are fully aware of the health risks associated with using micronised raw ingredients, so no, we do not use them in our product. Also, all the raw ingredients that we use in our formulation have gone through the the EU Compliance process for “nanoparticles” to ensure they are not present.
Do the English Mineral Makeup company test products on animals?
We never test our products on animals, all our products are cruelty free. We also purchase our minerals and all other products from suppliers who confirm and can prove that their products are also NOT tested on animals.
Are the English Mineral Makeup company's products suitable for vegans?
Yes, our products (inc. brushes) are suitable for vegans, with the exception of Fairy Godmother which contains crushed pearl, and abalone shell.
Do the English Mineral Makeup company provide 'custom-made colour' service for mineral powders?
Yes, we do. We can customise any colour. Please contact us for the pricing information.
We are also happy to blend 2 standard colours from our range if it helps to find the perfect foundation, we don’t charge for this service.
Does the English Mineral Makeup company's power provide sun protection?
Our mineral makeup contains Zinc Oxide, which is a natural barrier sunscreen ingredient. It works to block UVA and UVB rays, delivering broad-spectrum sun protection of at least SPF 15. However, mineral makeup should NEVER serve as your first line of defence against sun damage.

I look tired or dull under the eyes but don’t have strong darkness

This can be worn on its own for a natural look, or layered with foundation for smoother, longer-lasting results.
I want the best possible under-eye result
Choose: Corrector + Foundation + Concealer (if needed)
Using a corrector first helps everything applied on top look brighter, lighter, and more seamless.

I don’t wear foundation
Choose: Our Concealer only
The correctors are designed to work under makeup, so if you don’t wear foundation, the concealer alone is the best option.

Under-Eye Concealers – How Do They Work?
Why do your under-eye products feel different to traditional concealers?
Our under-eye products work by reflecting light rather than masking the skin. Instead of using heavy coverage, they soften the look of dark circles by brightening the area and reducing the appearance of shadows. This gives a more natural, fresh finish without creasing or heaviness.
What are the Yellow Tone Corrector and Mirror Mirror used for?
The Yellow Tone Corrector and Mirror Mirror are light-reflecting correctors, not traditional concealers.
They are designed to be:
• Applied under your foundation or top makeup
• Used to brighten and lift the under-eye area
• Layered to improve how your foundation and concealer look on top
They work best as a base layer, helping everything applied afterwards appear smoother and more radiant.
Can I use the Yellow Tone Corrector or Mirror Mirror on their own?
These products are not intended to be worn alone. Their purpose is to work under makeup, where their light-reflecting minerals can do their job properly.
Do you have a concealer that can be worn on its own?
Yes, we do offer a concealer that can be worn without foundation for a natural look.
However, for the best and smoothest results, we recommend using it:
• In conjunction with foundation, which helps even the skin tone
• After applying a corrector if extra brightness is needed
What is the best way to apply under-eye products?
For optimal results:
1. Apply Yellow Tone Corrector or Mirror Mirror to the under-eye area
2. Follow with your foundation
3. Use concealer only where extra coverage is needed
This layered approach creates a brighter, fresher under-eye appearance without heaviness.
