Mineral makeup brand Jane Iredale has released their new 2015 collection, Country Weekend. Inspired by the warm, muted colours of the relaxed countryside, the collection is doused with soft golds, greys and blush tones. The entire Jane Iredale makeup range is mineral-based (bar a handful of products, which are certified organic), protecting and nourishing your skin.

The Country Weekend collection features three products:
Just Kissed Lip & Cheek Stain in Forever Peach (RRP$54) is a multi-tasking product that glides onto the lips or can be patted onto the cheeks. The shade self-adjusts to each individual’s colouring, enhancing your skin’s natural undertone. Lips are soothed and softened thanks to wild rose wax, and olive and avocado butters, while rose flower wax and beeswax nourish and moisturise.
Jelly Jar Gel Eyeliner in Espresso (RRP$50) is a soft, creamy gel liner. A highly-pigmented brown-grey shade with a hint of shimmer, Espresso glides on smoothly for a clean, defined line, or for a sexy, smudged effect. Being water-resistant, the liner will stay put all day, just where you want it.
The Limited Edition Getaway Eye Shadow Kit (RRP$99)contains five of Jane Iredale’s PurePressed Eye Shadows, packaged in a beautiful rose gold compact. The base shade, Fresh Air, is a shimmery pearl colour, and its larger quantity in the palette makes it ideal as a highlighter on the face. Silence is a golden peach shade, Footprints a matte green-grey colour, Tea on the Porch a deep shimmery copper gold, and Starry Night a black with golden flecks. The shadows have great colour payoff and blend extremely well, staying put for crease-free and long-lasting eye colour.
As Jane Iredale’s products are all pure mineral-based, they can be mixed to achieve the desired colour. Want black lipstick? Mix a black PurePressed Eye Shadow with a nude PureMoist Lipstick. Want to add more gel liner over an eyeshadow? With other makeup brands, this would ruin the finish, but Jane Iredale products will blend together perfectly because they are based from the same pure minerals.
At an exclusive event, international makeup artist Julia Kur gave a live makeup tutorial to demonstrate the products from Jane Iredale’s new Country Weekend collection.
