Amazing Base® Loose Mineral Powder Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 20

This powder is truly amazing! I was using Bare Escentuals mineral makeup which I thought was great until I realized it was the culprit of my adult acne. I was already a fan of Jane Iredale products but not crazy about the pressed powder as it didn't provide enough coverage and I couldn't seem to find the right color. I'm so happy I gave the amazing base a try. My skin has cleared up and it gives you a nice natural finish. The amazing base is more pigmented then the pressed powder so it goes on a little darker. For example, the Warm Sienna pressed powder was to light for me but the same color as amazing base is perfect.

Having loved and used Jane Iredale mineral makeup for years, I was shocked by the appearance of dimethicone on the label. That is a deal-breaker, as any short-term benefits are far out-weighed by the long-term damage to my skin. BareMinerals, it looks like you have a new customer.

I am a long-time user of Jane Iredale -- have used the compact for YEARS but needed a change. Tried CHANEL AQUA VitaLumiere and Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundations -- both quite remarkable and beautiful finishes and feels for liquid foundation -- but felt too different for me after using mineral powder for so many years. So I decided to try the loose (weary of the mess) and I am AMAZED at the difference between this and the compact -- no comparison. The finish is like silk that just melts into your skin --looks completely natural -- and with a beautiful glow almost, hard to explain. It's just gorgeous -- my husband has been telling me all week how perfect my face looks, like I"m not wearing anything, that I have such great, natural looking color -- because your skin shines through -- yet it hides everything. This loose powder is perfection !!

I've tried many products including bare minerals, mac, clinique, philosophy, shisedo, derma blend, and more. This is the only product my super sensitive skin can handle. Worth the money and what I've been waiting for! My skin feels great and the coverage is good.

I have Asian neutral medium skin tone. This color made me look ashy and not complimentary at all. Product returned. On the other hand, I have the color Riviera in the Jane Iredale pressed foundation and the match is right for me. Two different products have different color palettes.

This is my favorite powder to date. I have been using it for several years since switching from Bare Minerals & noticed my skin's texture & complexion improved. One work of caution though, when get a brand new container you may want to start by poking only ONE hole in the plastic protective cover. I have found it to be very messy when the container is full & I tend to waste a lot from spillage.

This mineral foundation absolutely makes my skin glow. My Nordstroms's beauty consultant even tells me so. I tried the Bare Minerals and found it made my tiny pores look huge. The Jane Iredale goes on and just diffuses everything seamlessly. It blends beautifully. You do need to spray the Jane Iredale mist, Evian or even a light missing of purified water to set it.

Jane Iredale products have a good reputation, yet this particular loose power didn't work for me. Very dry and coverage wasn't acceptable.

This powder covers pretty heavy and looks okay for the first hour but it quickly wears/falls off. I'm not sure if I'm sold on the benefit of organic makeup versus the lack of coverage. I'll still continue to use this but I doubt I'll buy it again.

Goes on smooth and silky. Never looks cakey and doesn't settle in lines

If you're looking for sheer coverage this is definitely it. This foundation does not cover my acne or redskin at all. But if you have flawless skin, you will love it. I have combination skin and I didn't notice any oil absorbance with this powder. I still have a greasy shin a few hours after applying. The "natural" color is also slightly lighter than my skin color so it is not natural for me and made me look pale. I used the "golden glow" color in the pressed powder and was told to try the "natural" color in the loose powder since the colors vary but ultimately I do not think this is my true match. I don't believe this makeup has anything in it to cause breakouts but it definitely does not hide them if you have them.

This is my second purchase of this product and I really like it . It's easy to use and very natural looking. I'm glad Nordstrom is carrying Jane Iredale now!
