Pros:

Medium Coverage
Lasts all day
Tons of Product (Half way through the pan and I have had it for over a year and use it daily)
Skin looks and feels like skin, not foundation.

Cons:

Does not control oil

I always try new foundations but I always come back to this. My only issue is that it does not control oil, and my even make me a bit oilier.

Pros:

- Non-irritating
- Luminous finish, which is nice during the winter but makes me look blindingly glowing during sweaty summer months

Cons:

- Breaks me out in tiny bumps all on cheeks during both 3-month periods that I've used it
- Drying (like most mineral powder)
- Absurdly expensive. $50 for mineral powder??! The folks at Jane Iredale must be laughing all the way to the bank.

Absolutely not worth the money. Have tried nearly every mineral powder on the market and am not a fan in general. (The best is Alima Pure.)

Best I've used!
Jane Iredale is the only brand I've used on my face for 2 years now and I can see the difference. I have sensitive, acne-prone skin. The products cover well but also don't cause new breakouts. I'll never use anything again. My medical esthetician recommended this brand to me.

Pros:

does not test on animals.

Cons:

it is to expensive and doesn't cover well.

I would wear it over liquid foundation because it doesn't cover that well but if you can afford it give it a try.

Not for me
I've used the pressed powder, then stopped using it and switched to Almay, then started using it again and unfortunately its a huge waste of money for me. I have oily skin, but also dry skin, lets just say its difficult skin lol, and this product goes on wonderfully, but it starts to look cakey the longer I wear it and it doesn't stay on my skin very well. I think the reason is because my skin is oily. I end up having to blot my face several times a day with this makeup, whereas with Almay I don't. I also work a pretty physical job, so I need something that will stay in place when I sweat, and this just doesn't. I think it would be wonderful for normal skin, but who has that when they have acne?

Love!
I have used Jane Iredale pure pressed powder for the past two years since suffering with acne. I used it to cover up, during my roaccutane treatment and now acne free - It is a product that I know won't aggravate my skin. I get compliments on how pure my skin looks and I am convinced its the great coverage that this powder gives!I do not use foundtation or concealers, just this! I've tried bare minerals before, thought it was rubbish in comparison! Love!

Pros:

Great coverage, reduces my reddness, has anti-inflammatory properties in it, great for sensitive skin, rosacea, acne scarring, doesn't make my skin look oily, easy to use, good for sensitive skin, paraben and talc free, has an SPF 20 in it, and doesn't make me break out, looooooooong lasting coverage as well........15+ hours, I also sleep in this every night and it doesn't negatively affect me!

Cons:

It is a bit pricey.......but it's worth it in my opinion

Try it.....it's the ONLY make up line my skin can tolerate!

Pros:

Excellent coverage, despite my acne scarring. Smooth skin with nice glow. Makes your skin look matte without it even looking like you're wearing make up. It is also really good for people suffering from acne because it has mineral properties in it which reduces inflammation. My personal skin care specialist introduced this line to me, and I have never stopped using it since.

Cons:

If you don't get the right shade, it can look really off on your skin.Even if you're like a shade off, it won't really blend well with your skin. You have to get the precise tone.

Jane Iredale make-up is great for everyday wear. The key to this mineral make up is the antioxidant spray which complements it. The face spray makes your skin matte and smooth, even up close!

THIS MAKEUP MADE MY FACE BREAK OUT MORE THAN NORMAL. I HAVE BEEN GETTING GLYCOLIC PEELS AND HAD MY ESTHETICIAN USE THIS MAKEUP AFTER THE TREATMENT AND IT MADE MY SKIN BREAK OUT AND IT WASN'T BEFORE. ITS CLEARING VERY WELL NOW BUT I GOT ABOUT 4 OR 5 ZITS FROM THIS MAKEUP. IT MAY WORK FOR SOME BUT IT DIDN'T WORK FOR ME AT ALL!!! MADE MY SKIN VERY SHINY!!!

This is exactly what happened to me! I have very sensitive skin and was surprised that a makeup testing for sensitive skin and with relatively clean ingredients would do this. What I've found after similar things happening to me with other products, is that anything with any sort of derivative from a conifer (in this case pine bark extract) causes my rosacea-prone skin to freak out - i.e. large painful cysts in clusters. There could be no other cause in this case, as all my other products remained the same and I had very clear skin before this for over a month. These conifer derivatives are often used to plump up wrinkles, but with pine bark extract there are more benefits. So, I think if you don't have sensitive skin or aren't allergic in my case to conifers, this could work for you. The coverage does last a long time. However, I also noticed it tends to settle in large pores, so if you have those this will make them more noticeable.
