Comments about Jane Iredale PurePressed Base Pressed Mineral Powder, Golden Glow, .35 oz:
Love it - it's so light, but depending on the state of my skin I can layer it on or not as much as I want to. No need for any foundation with this powder. I have uneven skin tone and this powder just makes it look perfect.
The more you apply the more it covers but seemlessly without having an obviously powdery face. Most of the time I use a very light cover to even out skin tone. Love the look, so natural and seemless.
Works best with a large fluffy soft brush, not the included pad.
Great both summer and winter and even when my sking was breaking out for a period of time.
I tried a lot of different ones from luxury brands and been using this one for the past 3 years non-stop.

Comments about Jane Iredale PurePressed Base Pressed Mineral Powder, Golden Glow, .35 oz:
I wear this wet-dry pressed powder, spf 20 foundation in Golden Glow. For reference, my Bare Escentuals color match is Golden Medium. JI Golden Glow is lighter, and less yellow than the BE Golden Medium, and more beige/light tan than gold, but it's the closest BE to IE match for me. Riviera and Suntan are wonderful colors for medium skin tones as well, but the undertones seem more "neutral", while Golden Glow is definitely for "warm" skin. The Jane Iredale compact is just gorgeous, and using it makes me feel refined and elegant, (and I need all the help I can get...!) When I was a child, my mother, aunts, and grandmothers would carry their Estee Lauder powders (for their noses) in artistic, ornate compacts. JI's heavy, gold colored, high quality compact makes me remember how much I longed to wear makeup just because it was pretty and fun to touch. This compact is nice to carry around to use powder as needed, but I like best to apply it in the morning as an all-over face foundation, because it lasts so long I rarely need touch-ups until late in the day. Like most mineral makeups this adds a small bit of healthy "glow", but in this case, it really is a healthy glow; not glitter, which makes my pores look 80x worse than they look without makeup. Also, unlike other mineral foundations (especially pressed ones), this doesn't cake up too badly around my eyes. My need for a traditional "matte" foundation has faded due to glycolic and retinol treatments, and, of course, age, but if this powder had existed when I truly needed long-lasting, shine-free foundation, I think it would have been a dream-come-true. Compared to all the other brands of mineral powders I've tried, Jane Iredale pressed foundation is the silkiest, has the best coverage, has no glitter, has sunscreen protection, and performs the best around my eyes without making me look like I'm 80. (I have to be realistic, at 44. Powders are going to accentuate lines. It's just the way it is. But I choose the trade-off of the accentuation of a few lines in order to cover my pores, and even out that annoying melasma. As far as coverage, refining skin tone colors, and looking smooth, this is superior to every other pressed mineral foundation I've tried. If you're looking for a "skin-like", or "no-makeup" look, this foundation probably won't work well. It's very comfortable, and it doesn't scream, "MAKE-UP!", but, at least on me, nobody would mistake it for bare skin. This has medium coverage when applied with a brush, but it can easily work as a full coverage foundation if applied with a sponge or powder puff, or wet. The price seems utterly ridiculous, and it's the one thing that kept me from trying Jane Iredale products, for years. Now that I've been using many of her products, I do see why they get away with the high price. They are more highly pigmented, color concentrated, and elegant than many other mineral brands, and their colors seem closer to the colors of real human skin than lots of other makeup.

Comments about Jane Iredale PurePressed Base Pressed Mineral Powder, Golden Glow, .35 oz:
I used to buy this at my dermatologist's office til they stopped carrying it. I switched to another popular mineral makeup, but a side-by-side coverage comparison on my face showed Jane Iredale covers better. A big plus for me is that it comes as a pressed powder, and is much less messy to use than loose powder--no powder all over the sink. I use a Jane Iredale brush to apply it on top of a tinted moisturizer with sun screen for a light, natural look.

Love this. Use it alone or over liquid mineral foundation for more coverage. I have used only mineral makeup for years and this is by far my favorite.

Comments about Jane Iredale PurePressed Base Pressed Mineral Powder, Golden Glow, .35 oz:
I have been using this powder for about 7 years and it is better than any other powder I have tried. It is'nt real powdery which is nice, many powders settle into creases and lines and look cakey. this one does not. This is actually a foundation and if I were still in my 20's it would have been perfect as such, but now that I am in my 40's I need a bit more coverage. I wear a liquid foundation and then use this to set it with. I apply with a brush, not the sponge as that tends to apply it too heavy. The golden glow is perfect for my skin tone and it blends well, evening my skintone out. I have some pigment problems, melasma, and it works well covering that. Great product, kind of pricey, but well worth it.

Comments about Jane Iredale PurePressed Base Pressed Mineral Powder, Golden Glow, .35 oz:
I have been using Jane Iredale for seven years now, it is that amazing. (For some weird reason two of my sisters prefer MAC, which sometimes looks cakey and also causes breakouts if they sleep in it.) It does not clog your pores, you can sleep in it and no breakouts. It covers well, though if you have acne scars you will want to look into a concealer. I didn't get a concealer for way too long and ended up using too much Jane Iredale to cover my acne scars. I do wear a good amount for full coverage, so I pass through a container on average 3-4 months... which is incredibly expensive... but totally worth it ($150-$200 a year). The only time anyone can tell I am wearing Jane Iredale is when I am more tan, and there is a line of color difference... in which case is a warning to buy the right color!! Look up the Jane Iredale website and find places you can test it out... you will love it!

Comments about Jane Iredale PurePressed Base Pressed Mineral Powder, Golden Glow, .35 oz:
This product is pricey but so much better than the cheaper brands of mineral make up. It goes on easily, color looks natural and provides long lasting coverage. It doesn't really control oil, but doesn't contribute to it either. It is the best coverage for blemishes and doesn't cause my face to break out. I recommend it to all my friends.

Comments about Jane Iredale PurePressed Base Pressed Mineral Powder, Golden Glow, .35 oz:
Save your pennies and get this. It will last for a long time so it is worth it. Just an expensive initial outlay...but worth it. Get a good tinted moisturizer for the bottom layer and use this to pat on top for a perfect finish that you will love for daytime and nighttime wear. A definite must have. Not all Iredale products are great. But this one is.
