I was first introduced to Jane Iredale, Pure Pressed Powder based about two years ago, when I visited a local salon and had a facial.

Jane Iredale was one of the first mineral-based make up ranges. It's specifically designed for sensitive skin, primarily people whose skin is recovering from treatment such as resurfacing..
