jane iredaleAmazing Base Loose Mineral Powder, Luminous Foundation with SPF 20, Oil Free, Talc Free & Weightless, Vegan & Cruelty-Free Makeup

Let's 'talk' about this foundation! I think it's really excellent! I don't wear a lot of makeup, but nearly everything that I do use comes from Jane Iredale.I'm 67 years old now. Previously, I used (and often recommended) another well known loose mineral foundation for many, many years. But, as time went on, I began to notice that it was not working well. It no longer looked good on my more mature skin. So, I did a lot of research (and read a lot of reviews). I discovered Jane Iredale products, and I'm never going back! I think this loose mineral foundation is quite incredible! I use the Warm Silk shade in the winter months and Amber during summer months. It's so natural looking (but better!) It's quite apparent that my sensitive combination skin loves this product, and I've gotten compliments on my skin since I switched. I always apply it after moisturizing, and then I do a light spritz of Jane Iredale nourishing hydration spray. After facing several health challenges, I've become very careful about what products I bring into my home and what products my family and I use. I am always looking for natural, healthy, safe ingredients. And this is definitely one of them. I hope my experience is helpful for someone else.

I learned of Jane Iredale loose mineral powder from my esthetician several years ago, and I've been using it ever since. (My sister uses the pressed mineral powder, which is the same product pressed into a compact.) I start with sunscreen and under eye brightener, then do a quick dusting of the mineral powder base over my face with a large, soft makeup brush. It couldn't be quicker to apply foundation! This mineral powder base contains SPF as well, so I feel I have good sun protection. Amazing Base is "buildable", so if you want more coverage, just apply another dusting of the powder. I find the coverage very natural looking, and it evens out my coloring. As the powder is warmed by your skin, it becomes creamier looking. It wears beautifully, staying fresh looking all day - even in summer, when liquid foundation can "melt". A nice features for the jar is the sifter cover underneath the cap: it has many perforations, and you decide how many of them you want to poke open with the point of a scissor, enabling you to customize how much of the powder is dispensed with each shake of the jar. You shake shake a portion of powder into the jar's lid, swirl your makeup brush into the powder to distribute it evenly over the brush's surface, then tap off the excess powder right back into the lid before stroking the powder over your face. I find that a jar of Jane Iredale Amazing Base lasts quite a long time, so I feel it is a good value. Because it's a powder, it's also easy to see when the product is running out - something I found difficult to determine when I used liquid foundation, because the foundation would "dye" the sides of the bottle. Having worn makeup for more than forty years, I truly think this is a great product for any age and any skin type.

The product I received is authentic. I've used this makeup for several years and I can't recommend it enough. You can customize the coverage you want by using more or less of it. Whether you apply 1 pass or 3-4 passes, you're skin always looks natural, flawless and glowing. Seriously, it's amazing! I alternate between the loose powder and the pressed powder, depending on the time of year. Each color comes in both options. The loose powder is supposedly better for oily skin, but my experience has been that both formulas work very fell for any skin type. The loose powder will always be slightly darker than that same color in the pressed powder. For example, my color is Radiant so in the summer when my face has more color I use the Radiant loose powder, and in the winter I use Radiant pressed powder. The Jane Iredale setting spray really is necessary to "activate" the makeup and get the flawless finish. It will also make it so that your makeup lasts practically all day. Sometimes I'll spray my face again midday to freshen it up, but I never have to reapply or touch up my makeup. So yeah, this makeup rocks, and it's healthy for your skin on top of everything else

I have tried several loose powder foundations in my 51 years but this is the only one that has ticked all the boxes. Every other one either had no coverage and/or made my face itch. This one - the Jane Iredale brand - is amazing! The coverage is light but could easily build up to medium. It gives you a glowy, dewy look somehow. I’m don’t understand how or why but it does. It also doesn’t emphasize pores or fine lines and doesn’t make my face feel dry and tight. I haven’t had any itchiness or sensitivity since I started using it either which is a big plus.

I love how this product looks and feels. It lasts all day and looks as good at the end as when I first put it on. It is lightweight but gives great coverage. I have it on auto ship so I never run out.

Purchased on Prime Day. What a great find and appears to me talc free. The brush comes with two powder cartridges. Very easy to install. So far, the brush doesn't appear to leak out powder like other brands I've tried. Go to the actual brand's website if you are unsure of what color to purchase, since there are better photos to try an do a color match. Also, there is a major online beauty company that sells this brand where you could probably use their color match tool. The powder seems to keep shine away, and I have combination skin. I'm not sure if the cartridges could be re-filled with loose powder or not. When I watched the video on the Amazon site, it appeared as if they could be re-filled. I took a star off because the brush itself is quite big. It can be taken in a purse but will take up alot of space in a makeup bag.
