Everything We Love About These 5 Jane Iredale Foundations

The Jane Iredale foundation line was created by Jane herself, who worked in the entertainment industry and noticed actors’ complexions were ravaged by heavy makeup.

She thought there must be a way to make a foundation that’s good for skin.

Jane was determined to create a foundation that soothes stressed skin as it covers what you want.

Today, I’m breaking down five Jane Iredale foundations so you can pick the best one for you.

Before we get into the foundation formulas, let’s help you figure out how to choose a Jane Iredale Foundation colour. There are two great ways to do this:

• First, determine if your skin is a Light, Medium, Dark, or Deep tone. Then, choose your undertone. We have a great video on choosing the right shade for you.

• If you’re not confident in choosing your own shade, use the built-in Findation Colour Finder on the product page. Simply plug in the brand and colour of the foundation you’re currently using. You’ll get a recommended shade in your chosen Jane Iredale Foundation.

1. The Perfect Powder for the Most Sensitive Skin

What it is: Jane Iredale PurePressed Pressed Minerals Refill

It’s the foundation that made the brand famous! This oil-free, protective mineral-based powder foundation offers a perfect semi-matte, weightless finish with broad-spectrum sunscreen.

The formula is rich in antioxidants, thanks to ingredients such as Plankton Extract and Pomegranate Seed, so it protects skin while you wear it.

Why it’s so good:

• Perfect for all ages and all skin types, this powder is not only cruelty-free and vegan but also paraben-free and wheat-free.

• Jane has you covered with colour too! Jane Iredale powder foundation shades have been expanded to 25 as of this writing, so you can surely find your perfect match.

2. A Glowing-Goddess Complexion in Just a Few Pumps

What it is: Jane Iredale Liquid Minerals

Jane Iredale Liquid Minerals foundation makes your skin glow while treating it with time-released actives.

This high-adherence formula ensures you get the medium coverage you love with none of the transfer (perfect if you’re wearing a face covering).

At the same time, this quick-fix makeup uses liposomes to deliver nutrients deep into the skin.

Why it’s so good:

• Algae protects skin from the free radicals that are linked to premature skin ageing. Hyaluronic Acid deeply hydrates and plumps the skin. The skin-loving formula leaves you with an instant glow AND improves your natural glow over time.

3. The Naturally Luminous Option for Sensitive Skin

What it is: Jane Iredale Amazing Base Loose Minerals SPF20

Looking for the ultimate no-makeup feel? Amazing Base Loose Minerals is exactly what you’re looking for.

This Jane Iredale foundation provides broad-spectrum SPF 20.

The nutrient-rich formula also creates a more even skin tone and conceals pores and lines with its sheer-to-medium coverage.

Why it’s so good:

• This loose powder is completely weightless once blended into the skin. It’s also vegan, cruelty-free, wheat-free, and recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.

4. Anti-Ageing Makeup That Pampers Your Skin

What it is: Jane Iredale Glow Time Full Coverage Mineral BB Cream

This Jane Iredale full coverage foundation offering not only covers what you want to cover but also nourishes the skin while you’re wearing it.

Apple Fruit Extract soothes, hydrates, and can help lighten dark spots.

Grapefruit Extract is rich in vitamins and antioxidants, minimises hormonal breakouts, and can brighten skin.

Why it’s so good:

• Glow Time is non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic to boot.

• Keep in mind that a little of this product goes a long way. Start with less than you think that you need and add more where you feel you need more coverage.

5. Primer, Concealer, and Foundation in One

What it is: Jane Iredale Beyond Matte Liquid Foundation

Afternoon shine the bane of your existence? Innovative Jane Iredale Beyond Matte Liquid Foundation is your new BFF.

This cruelty-free, vegan formula features Jojoba Seed Oil to help balance oil production and Honeysuckle Flower Extract for antioxidant protection.

Why it’s so good:

• This long-wearing Jane Iredale full coverage foundation delivers a natural demi-matte finish, so you look shine-free but never dull. Since the makeup has a primer built in, it stays on until you want to take it off, making it perfect for events.

• Beyond Matte Liquid Foundation is also dermatologist- and allergy-tested to suit even the most sensitive oily skin.

As you can see, there’s a Jane Iredale foundation for everyone, whether you have sensitive skin or want to wear a treatment foundation that does more than just cover.
