Natural Touch
Jane Iredale, founder and president of Iredale Mineral Cosmetics reveals why mineral make-up is the best

Mineral Makeup

What is mineral make-up?
Mineral make-up is made of the purest inert ingredients that don't contain harmful irritants. The minerals come from sand and rock crystals and are undiluted pure pigment. How does it benefit you?
Minerals have various benefits to the skin and are ideal ingredients for make-up as they are naturally coloured. Some minerals have sunscreens in them ? Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide are the best as they reflect light. These particular minerals are also anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial. The soothing and weightless nature of minerals means they can be used on the most sensitive skin and are frequently used post-surgery.
Why choose mineral?
Everyday more women ? and even some men ? are choosing mineral make-up over traditional cosmetics. The lightweight texture and layered coverage gives a quick and versatile finish that suits men and women of all ages.
The question 'why choose minerals?' can only be answered with 'why would you not choose a cosmetic range that benefits the skin, allows it to function normally and looks absolutely fabulous?'

Mineral Magic

What is mineral make-up?

Step one
PurePressed base SPF20 in Golden Glow (from £39) is a quick and sheer base that suits all skin types. It glides on with The Handi brush (from £25.50) used in buffing motions and is layered if more coverage is required.

Step two
A subtle bronzer Brush-me bronze (from £38) with integrated brush was used only on the raised areas of the face such as hairline, bridge of nose, chin and cheeks for a softer more realistic sun-kissed glow.

Step three Eyes have been lightly dusted with pure pigment in the form of PurePressed eye shadow in Sweet Spot (from £25), a matt trio of apricots and beiges. The palest shade was used on the brow bone and the apricot on the lid for a modern summer look. Then for definition the brown beige was applied around the lashes with a dampened small Angle brush (from £8) that was softened and smudged afterwards.

Step four Longest Lash in Black Ice (from £26), a phenomenal new lengthening mascara was used to give a false lash look that looks so feminine for this season.

Step five To finish the look and keep it contemporary, the lips are brightened with PureGloss in Cosmo (from £15), a luscious deep pink that suits all skin tones.

jane iredale mineral make-up rocks with Anastacia

jane iredale mineral make-up rocks with a growing band of celebrity fans.  Latest news from the pioneering natural brand is of top singing sensation Anastacia using the skincare make-up throughout her recent UK and European tour.  

Anastacia­s make-up artist, Karin Darnell of One Make-up, who also works with Emma Bunton and the Sugababes, says, ³Jane Iredale­s Amazing Base really smoothes out the skin, gives her a creamy fresh look and is extremely long-lasting, staying in place throughout her whole performance.  Anastacia loves it, too.Å   Karin first discovered the benefits of Jane­s mineral bases when she used them during a video shoot on her former client Victoria Beckham, a subsequent personal fan of the product.    

Reports from other celebrity make-up artists echo the sentiment.  Phyllis Cardwell, celebrity therapist at London­s Dorchester Hotel loves how Amazing Base allows skin to breathe and has used it on Julia Roberts.  Leading make-up artist, Valentine Alexander, also uses Jane Iredale bases and 24-Karate Gold shimmer powders on all her numerous celebrity clients in London and Paris, including Meg Ryan, Catherine Deneuve, and Juliette Binoche.  Even men wear Jane Iredale­s skin calming, minerals, from Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis to newsreaders: the finely milled pigments give a natural look and are barely perceptible to high definition cameras.  

Formulated with pure pigment of micronized minerals, Jane­s bases are concealer, foundation, powder and sunblock all-in-one. Free from the top three sensitisers à perfume, chemical dyes and preservatives à the minerals are light-reflective to obscure fine lines and wrinkles. They promote skin health, with fast, weightless and water-resistant coverage for all skin tones and textures - even the most sensitive or blemished. The bases are just part of a complete colour cosmetics range based on pure pigments and natural plant extracts, organic where available à minus irritant chemicals. There­s everything you need for lips, eyes and cheeks, with special products and ingredients to conceal, prime and de-shine too.

First introduced in 1994, Jane Iredale Mineral Cosmetics feature regularly on TV and film sets, in fashion photo shoots, salons and spas. They are also highly recommended by plastic surgeons and dermatologists throughout the world.

Anna Friel Scores with jane iredale Mineral Make-Up!

Beautiful Anna Friel dazzled the crowds at the recent premiere of Goal!, the new movie in which 29 year old actress plays a Geordie nurse.

A special touch of glamour was added by Annaâs make-up artist Karen Alder, who used Jane Iredale Mineral Cosmetics, the skincare make-up favoured by celebrities and professionals for its non-sensitising, long-lasting and natural appearance. The secrets of her glowing complexion that night were Jane Iredale PurePressed Base, made from light-reflective micronized minerals, together with PurePressed blusher in Whisper, Eyeshadows in Bone & Platinum and an intense black mineral-based Cream-to-Powder liner.

ãAnna particularly loved the Raspberry PureGloss that I chose to give her lips a luscious sheen,ä says Karen, who specialises in bringing out the natural beauty of her clients, which include singers Kylie and Dannii Minogue, as well as numerous actresses, TV presenters, leading photographers and prestigious magazines.

ãI have gradually become more aware that there are certain ingredients in conventional make-up that Iâd rather not be exposing my clients to. I was thrilled to discover a make-up brand that looks so brilliant yet respects the skin and doesnât use chemical colours or preservatives.ä
