Nutrients for healthy & happy skin

Healthy skin starts with healthy nutrients. Eating a healthy and varied diet can even reduce serious skin problems.In general, eat as much fresh, unprocessed produce in a variety of colors as possible. Also, take good care of your liver by avoiding as many toxins as possible. This is because when this organ becomes overworked, it dumps toxins into the cells and under the skin. But there are also some very specific nutrients that have a positive effect on your skin.

How to use it for the Loose Mineral Foundation? Put some powder in the lid, push and twist your Kabuki around in the lid until all the powder is absorbed into the bristles. Then stamp the Kabuki on your face and twirl! The more you spin, the more beautifully you will shine. The more layers you apply, the nicer your coverage will be. For the Compact Mineral Foundation, twist your Kabuki directly into the foundation and follow the same steps as for the Loose Mineral Foundation. How to use it for the Loose Mineral Foundation?

For the Compact Mineral Foundation, twist your Kabuki directly into the foundation and follow the same steps as for the Loose Mineral Foundation.   Foundation Brush The Foundation Brush is the tool for applying all your liquids! Because the bristles are straight at the top, you can very nicely blend your Liquid Foundation and Klean Primer into your skin. Always use circular movements to work your foundation nicely into your skin. Want more coverage? Then stamp the Foundation Brush on your skin or in places where you want more coverage.

   Expert tip: The Foundation Brush doubles as a perfect tool for contouring. Its angled bristles make it effortlessly simple to work beneath your cheekbones.   Blush Brush The Blush Brush is ideally suited for applying Loose Mineral Blush or compact blush with ease. Remember, a little goes a long way! Its densely packed bristles gather more pigment than, for instance, the Fan Brush, ensuring vibrant colour application. For best results, apply blush to the cheekbones at the centre of your face, using circular motions or strokes upwards towards your hairline for seamless blending into the skin. If you find your blush application too vivid, lightly sweep your Kabuki brush over it to subtly diffuse the intensity, effectively using it as an 'eraser'.

   Expert tip: always stay two fingers away from your nose with your blush, this way you avoid narrowing your face with your blush.   Fan Brush With the Fan Brush, you can apply highlighter to your cheekbones in no time. It will give you an instant glow! You can also use your fan brush to apply your blush. Because the bristles are less compacted and in a 'fan' shape, it absorbs less pigment and you can work more gently.   Concealer Brush The Concealer Brush, with its flat design, is ideal for both sheer and full coverage concealer applications. The flat bristles facilitate accurate placement and ensure an even spread of concealer.

   Expert tip: additionally, it serves well as an eyeshadow brush for those seeking more vibrant colour. Press the brush into your eyeshadow to collect the pigment, then press it onto your eyelids to apply.   Eye-tastic set The Eyetastic Brush Set is a set of 3 must-have eye brushes at 1 lucky shot price. The set contains the Blending Brush, Flat Eyeshadow Brush and the Precise Brush. The Blending Brush is a brush for beautifully blending and softening all your eyeshadow colours. The Flat Eyeshadow is ideal to apply your eyeshadow colour intensely on your eyelids and the Eye Precise helps you with the precision work for your eye look.   Eyeliner Employ the Eyeliner Brush to soften pencil lines or craft a perfect winged eyeliner. Dampen the brush briefly, pick up your chosen eyeshadow, and voila, you achieve a strikingly intense eyeliner! This brush is also adept for refining your eyebrows with powder or creating an ombre effect in tandem with an eyebrow pencil.

i.am.klean x Atelier Tinika: a perfect harmony

Who is Tinneke? I am Tinneke De Block and I live with my husband and two children in Keerbergen. In addition to my work at Atelier Tinika, I am employed full-time as a graphic designer. Drawing and painting are long-standing passions of mine, and I always keep a sketchbook close at hand in my spare time. As a teenager, I created wall paintings to earn additional income. Atelier Tinika was born in 2010, when I discovered the world of blogging during my studies. Initially, my creations were showcased on my blog. By 2015, this blog evolved into a fully-fledged website. Today, I craft illustrations for both brands and individuals, as well as (wall) paintings. My work, including paintings, art prints, and stationery, is available for purchase through my own online shop. What was your first thought when we suggested you design the packaging? The story of i.am.klean - a healthy, pure, natural mineral makeup line with a touch of confidence and luxury - is completely in line with my own values. I was overjoyed when you contacted me to give this assignment. I absolutely and fully support it. The concept of collaborating with Belgian designers and the beautiful branding of i.am.klean felt like a perfect match. In all modesty, I think it’s the good match that made the wonderful result. How did you proceed? After the smooth briefing, I already had a fair idea about which direction the illustration would take. My goal was to portray a real i.am.klean woman - pure, fresh, healthy and confident. With a refined luxurious look that showcases the colours of the collection beautifully. First, I drew the outline with pencil. Then I coloured them in with watercolour, acrylic paint and ink. The final adjustments are coloured digitally. What did we think? We are incredibly proud of the new collection and the collaboration with Atelier Tinika. The match between Tinneke's design and i.am.klean is absolutely perfect: utterly feminine, pure, genuine and authentic. Lisa from i.am.klean: "I love the packaging so much that I even want to keep the products in the box, haha! A real must-have :)!"
