What the gurus are saying

Experts split on whether this mineral powder foundation suits mature skin. Its weight can accentuate fine lines (a genuine concern) while others rank it exceptional for aging skin. The satiny finish appeals to devotees. Narrow shade range and high price are real tradeoffs, though powder foundation fans often consider it worth the commitment.

"The shade warm silk is too dark for me and it's a little bit too orange. That's one of my problems with powder foundations, we have even fewer shades that actually work, especially in studio lighting. [...] The product feels kind of heavy when I first put my finger into it. When I swatched it on my hand, [...] it has a nice satiny finish to it, but it does feel a little heavy. In the area where I swatched it, I feel like it accentuates the lines in my hands."

"I am going to once again recommend the Jane Iredale Pure Pressed Base Mineral Foundation and refillable compact, I think this is the best option for more mature skin, a wonderful powder foundation. It's a bit expensive, that's why I have allowed myself to run out of it, so it's not your only option, [...] but this is a nice powder foundation, if not the best powder foundation that I've ever tried."

"Another foundation that I tried over the last few months and liked pretty well was the Jane Iredale powder foundation. This is another like minimalist brand and I got to say like between this and the Merit I would go with the Merit stick over this but if you're a powder foundation girl this wasn't bad."

"Also it has gotten shinier, like by the side of my nose, it's just kind of down my T-Zone, it's just gotten a little bit shinier. I don't feel like it needs the primer. I actually prefer how it looks on the side of my face where I didn't use the primer than the side of my face where I did use the primer. I do need to pick up a better shade of this for me so that I can use it without putting concealer on over it because it looked really really nice and really really smooth, just too pale for me."
