Jane Iredale Cosmetics: A Review of Cosmetics by Jane Iredale
Custom Search
Jane Iredale Cosmetics was a pioneer in what is now a long line of mineral makeup companies. It's a hot new trend, making makeup out of minerals and ground up stones.
But, how do you tell the real deal from the fakes? Is the Jane Iredale line a hit or has someone else perfected the product? For a full review of the product line, along with hints on the best and worst products, keep reading.
Price
Overall, the Jane Iredale mineral makeups are fairly expensive. They're about 25 to 30 percent more than Bare Escentuals, the company's main competitor. This may be because the product is sold predominantly in salons, spas, skin care centers and dermatologist's office.
Ease of Use
Unless you know how to apply mineral makeup, it's not going to look good or go on easy. Like any mineral makeup product, Jane Iredale Cosmetics need to be applied in a specific way with a specific brush, so get ready for a learning curve.
Most retailers will provide a short lesson on how to apply the makeup from start to finish. If they don't, you can visit the company's website (http://janeiredale.com) for a tutorial.
Quality of the Product
There are two major features of Jane Iredale's makeup – the first is that it can be applied immediately after a chemical peel, laser peel or microdermabrasion without irritating the skin.
This is why it's so popular in dermatologists' offices and laser skin care centers – patients who want to cover up the redness and irritation of a treatment can use it.
The other great feature is the SPF protection in almost all the products. Patients who need to stay out of the sun before or after a skin care treatment will love this aspect.
Best and Worst Product
Probably the best product in the Jane Iredale line are the basic foundations. Their bases are a foundation, sunscreen and concealer all in one have some fantastic rich tones that compliment your skin tone rather than mask it.
The product to avoid in this cosmetic lineup is definitely the eye shadow. The pressed powder can be applied wet or dry. However when it's applied wet, it tends to smudge onto the eyelid, rather than blend over it.
Conclusion
If you're looking for a solid base that's going to help cover the redness after a laser or chemical skin care treatment without irritating your skin, Jane Iredale cosmetics is a great, quality product. If you're looking for an everyday line of colors for your eyes and lips, you may want to look elsewhere.
