Jane Iredale Amazing Base Vs Pure Pressed – What’s the difference?
So what is the difference between Jane Iredale Amazing Base and Jane Iredale Purepressed?
Both are high-quality mineral makeups with mostly natural ingredients that most dermatologists endorse. And they both have SPF sun protection, and both are adaptable, buildable products that can work as concealers if mixed with liquid mineral makeup. This article lists the differences that can help you decide which one is best for you.
Loose powder vs. Held down.
Amazing Base by nature is a loose mineral powder, which means that the texture you get from the product is larger, thicker and tends to spread all over the place as the powder does not adhere as well. Purepressed is finely ground into smaller particles and therefore maintains a neatness as the powder is pressed and dense. Due to this difference in manufacturing, both have a different effect on the skin and require different application strategies.
The end:
Purepressed tends to be more matte than Amazing Base. However, applying it excessively will result in an ashy, chalky face that can lead to added shine if the oil on your skin comes off during the day. So be careful: be very light with purepress!
Amazing Base has more shine than purepress. Even though this may require an oil stain, it actually comes out as beautiful, glowing, and dewy skin if applied correctly.
Since the finish of the two is different, it completely depends on the effect you are looking for.
The color:
In terms of color, Amazing Base loose powder is much darker than Purepressed. So if you choose to switch from loose powder to compact or vice versa, remember that the color scheme will be different. A general rule of thumb is that Amazing Base is approximately two steps darker than Purepressed.
Be sure to do a color test for both products at cosmetic stores before you buy! It would be a shame to throw money down the drain on high-quality makeup that doesn’t match your skin tone.
The dusty mess, cleaning factor:
The mess you have to deal with is different too. Compact powder is easier to travel with – you hardly have to deal with the powder residue from its application. Loose dust is naturally dirty. So if you want to carry your compact without dealing with the fuss, Purepressed is highly recommended.
The application:
Both Amazing Base and PurePressed have their own specific application techniques and brushes that you should use to get the best effect. Even the best makeup can be awful if you don’t know how to use it! As much as we dream of instant beauty in 5 minutes, making makeup work for you requires exactly that … work!
