Jane Iredale Foundations Poeder Amazing Base Loose Mineral Powder SPF20 Amber 10.5gr

I have used this mineral foundation for about 25 years. I am now in my 50's and I still love it as much as I ever did. Like with any mineral powder, you need to have good skin care; and smooth skin; otherwise it will look bad; but this stuff was a game changer for me when I was healing my skin from some serious damage from some glycolic acid products I was using (by following instructions to the T). My skin barrier was destroyed and my skin was trashed. Even water hurt. I could wear this without any irritation and it soothed my skin and covered up my flaming red face. Honestly, I cant say enough good things about this product. It does go on sheer and it takes some effort to build it up; but the finished look is flawless. I had it on the other day and my daughter came over and said "wow mom you skin looks incredible". I told her I had makeup on. She said it looked so amazing. So there's that. :-)

I found a great shade match in Bisque, but that's about the only positive thing I can say about this foundation. It says Finishing Powder above, but it's actually a foundation marketed as having sheer to medium coverage. The coverage is sheer at best. What's troublesome is the fact that it oxidizes badly after about five minutes. This is also very drying for my skin. For the price one would think that they would update the packaging to include a sifter, but sadly they're still stuck in the old "punch a few holes in the plastic sticker" era and once you've opened the jar there's no way to travel with it without spillage. Don't bother with this one if you need a foundation, folks. As a very expensive finishing powder – yeah, why not if that's your cup of tea.

Awesome product!! I am 43, have oily/combi skin and this is just so perfect! it does not sit into my lines and my skin looks so good,.so natural and i could go.an entire day without bloting. in fact i dont even need to touch up. through the day. My only complaint is the high price for such tiny bit of product ..

I put a "no" on would I buy this again because Physicians Formula makes an awesome dupe of this with their Mineral Wear, Talc Free Loose Powder. The only problem is, their colors are not as vast as Jane Iredale. The Jane Iredale loose foundation provides light to medium coverage just like Physicians Formula. I wear the color Ivory and sometimes I wear Bisque. It does oxidize, which is why I bought Ivory. But, if you can find your color with Physicians Formula, then save your money, honey because the coverage is the same, it's also highly sweatproof and it has mineral SPF. With PF I wear soft ivory which is a bit dark, but it does not oxidize, so it works. It's just a tad dark, not so much. Translucent is too yellow and not at all translucent.

I have the amazing base in warm silk, which is slightly darker than I would like. ( I'm nc20). It is yellow undertone. Without a good primer to smooth over my dry skin, this foundation accentuates dryness and texture, which obviously looks ugly. Coverage is light. (I have not tried to see if this builds up for more coverage because what little product I used already did not look good so didn't want to pile more on). It might cover a little bit but it doesn't really make the skin look nice. It's a bland finish. Nothing special. If I look in mirror closely it seems to fill in the pores but when I step back, you can still see the pores. Matte. Even though I don't like the pure pressed without a primer, the pure pressed foundation is better than the amazing base, in my opinion.
