Jane Iredale PurePressed Base SPF20 Refill Warm Silk 9,9g

Mineral powder foundation SPF 20 for light warm skin

Warm Silk is a shade that derives its name from two qualities at once: the warmth of light skin with a golden-yellow undertone, and the soft, polished appearance of silk. For light skin with warm undertones, this is a frequently sought combination — in most brands, 'light' automatically leans cool-pink, causing warm light skin types to end up either too warm (towards peach) or too cool (towards white-pink).

Jane Iredale Warm Silk fills that gap with a restrained warmth. This mineral powder foundation offers light to full coverage, functions simultaneously as a concealer and physical SPF 20 protection, and builds up without heavy layers. The semi-matte finish has a soft, silky-gloss-like diffusion that visually smooths the skin without powdering away the texture.

Color: Warm Silk is a light shade with soft warm golden-yellow undertones, ideal for light skin that naturally has a sunny undertone.

Benefits

• Enhances the subtle warmth of light skin without orange or peach effect
• Evens out light redness thanks to the counteracting golden warm undertone
• Physically protects against UVA and UVB radiation from the first moment
• Buildable from light to full coverage without visible transitions or edges
• Talc-free and without bulking agents that can clog pores

Active ingredients

Titanium dioxide & zinc oxide: Two mineral UV filters that are especially crucial for light skin, as this skin type genetically has less natural protection against UV damage. In Jane Iredale Warm Silk, they are so finely dispersed that they do not leave a white cast on the warm undertone of the skin.

Pomegranate extract: Antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals caused by UV and air pollution. Maintains the natural golden warm glow of light skin by preventing oxidative dullness.

Plankton and algae extract: Sea minerals that nourish the skin barrier and have a calming effect. Help reduce reactivity in thin, light skin that quickly reacts to skincare actives or harsh weather conditions.

Boron Nitride: The ingredient behind the silky finish of Warm Silk. Boron nitride scatters light diffusely, making the skin appear optically polished and smooth — an important reason why this shade carries the name 'Silk'.

How to use it

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Warm Silk and Bisque?

Both have warm undertones for a light skin, but Jane Iredale Warm Silk has a pronounced golden-yellow warmth while Bisque leans more towards peach. If you see in daylight that the skin shines more yellow-gold than peach, choose Warm Silk.

How do I know if my undertone is warm-gold instead of peach?

Look at silver and gold jewelry side by side in daylight: if gold makes your skin look more vibrant and silver a bit duller, you are probably in the warm-gold range. If a naturally light skin tone also belongs there, Warm Silk is the logical choice.

Does this foundation give a shiny effect due to the silky finish?

No. Warm Silk offers a diffuse silky sheen, not a reflective shine. The difference is that light is softly scattered instead of directly reflected — the result is a polished skin rather than a shiny skin.

Can I use Warm Silk in combination with Smooth Affair Brightening Face Primer?

Yes, that is a highly recommended combination within the Jane Iredale system. The brightening primer provides an extra subtle light reflection as a base, after which Warm Silk delivers the silky finish. Together they enhance the natural glow of the skin.
