jane iredale The Skin Care Makeup Celebrates 20 Years

 

'When I started the company I had one product, Amazing Base, and with it launched the whole new category of mineral makeup. We are celebrating this milestone with new innovations and will continue to deliver personal, uplifting beauty that is as good for the skin as it is beautiful to wear. I know the next 20 years will be even more incredible than the last!" - Jane

 

Amazing Base: The Start of Something Big!

The very first product developed and sold by Jane. Amazing Base® Loose Mineral
Powder Is a micronised mineral foundation, powder, concealer and sunscreen (SPF
20) all in one. Because of the concentrated pigment, it provides exceptional coverage
and can be used effectively to camouflage skin imperfections.

 

The high water resistant rating combined with the active ingredients titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, mean the mineral particles will act as tiny mirrors on the skin to reflect the damaging rays that are responsible for 80% of the signs of ageing. Amazing Base
also has anti-inflammatory properties and is especially helpful for acne and rosaceaprone
skins. For best application, use the jane iredale Chisel Powder Brush, and remember less is more!
