Jane Iredale Blogger Event

I was invited to the gorgeous jane iredale makeup event on the evening of Tuesday 16 September.

I hadn’t heard much about the brand before, but upon some pre-event research, I found a gem in terms of the perfect cosmetic brand.

What ticked the boxes for me:

• The brand is strongly against animal testing – it does not test its products on animals, none of their ingredients are separately tested on animals by the brand or third parties, and they do not sell their products in countries were animal testing is mandatory (e.g China)
• The brand uses natural ingredients – they do not use synthetic preservatives, parabens or phenoxyethanols, and their mineral coverage products only use pure mineral pigment with no fillers such as talc

On the night, Russian pro makeup artist Julia Kur gave  a live makeup tutorial to demonstrate some of the latest products, and guests got to have a sneak peak look at the brand’s new product launches for 2014.

At the bottom of this blog post I’ve included three different step-by-step take-home tutorials featuring the City Nights collection that Julia provided to us on the night, so you can try them out at home! :)
