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.

"I'm intrigued by mineral foundations, I want to make them work. [...] 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."
