Jane Iredale PurePressed Eye Shadow Single

Mineral eyeshadow per shade for a look you create yourself

The PurePressed Eye Shadow Single by Jane Iredale gives you one carefully formulated eye tint in a compact pan, allowing you to create your own look instead of being stuck with a precomposed combination. Each single is a building block: wearable as a solo statement, usable as an accent within a larger look, or combined with other singles for a look that perfectly matches your style.

What sets this line apart is the combination of highly pigmented mineral color with a buttery, skin-friendly formula. Each shade is enriched with Shea Butter, jojoba oil, and pine bark extract, allowing the pigment to apply softly on the delicate skin around the eye and stay comfortably in place all day without creasing. The formula is talc-free, wheat-free, and dermatologically mild.

Why choose the PurePressed Eye Shadow Single?

The power of a good single eyeshadow lies in freedom. You decide which shades to combine, in what order, and with what intensity — you are not bound to a fixed triple or palette selection. The finely milled mineral pigments provide rich, true color that is intense and long-lasting, and the buttery texture blends effortlessly into the crease. The collection includes 6 shades in two finishes: matte shades for structure, depth, and definition, and shimmery or pearl shades for shine, dimension, and light reflection. All shades in this selection are vegan.

Find your ideal shade

The choice between matte and shimmer determines the effect and role of the shade in your look. Matte shades provide color without shine and are indispensable as a base, crease-deepening color, and defining depth shade. Shimmer shades (pearl or shimmery) catch the light and add dimension — perfect as an all-over accent, on the inner corner, or as a topper over a matte base.

Matte shades — for structure and definition

From light base to deeply refined dark brown.

• Bone — creamy matte nude as a warm, brightening base for any look
• Sienna — warm matte rust brown for earthy crease depth
• Dark Suede — deep matte dark brown for intense definition and refined matte smoky look

Shimmer shades — for dimension and light reflection

From subtle pearl to pronounced shimmery statement.

• Oyster — soft pearl sheen with subtle iridescent shine
• Allure — shimmery light peach with warm golden undertone
• Supernova — shimmery copper-eggplant as a bold statement color

The ideal brushes for the PurePressed Eye Shadow Single

Because you determine the color composition yourself with single eyeshadows, choosing the right brush is especially crucial for the final result. Each Jane Iredale eye brush has a specific role, allowing you to achieve exactly the color intensity and placement you want.

• Flat Eye Brush — dense, compact fibers for intense, buildable color placement on the movable eyelid
• Fluffy Eye Brush — airy brush tip for softly blending shades into each other and applying base color
• Crease Brush — round, tapered tip for precise blending of depth color in the crease
• Detail Brush — most tapered precision brush for light accents in the inner corner and along the lash line

How to use the PurePressed Eye Shadow Single?

1. Apply a matte base shade like Bone over the entire eyelid with the Fluffy Eye Brush as a brightening even base
2. Wear a matte crease shade like Sienna or a shimmer shade as an all-over main color on the movable eyelid with the Flat Eye Brush
3. Place a deep matte shade like Dark Suede in the crease with the Crease Brush for definition and dimension
4. Softly blend the transitions with the Fluffy Eye Brush for a seamless layered effect
5. Tap a pearl or shimmery shade on the inner corner with the Detail Brush to visually open the eyes
6. Draw the depth color along the lash line for definition or a matte smoky finish

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a single, a triple, and a stick?

A single gives you one shade in a pan for maximum freedom — you create your own look. A triple offers three coordinated shades in one palette for speed and convenience. A stick is a cream-to-powder eyeshadow that you apply directly without a brush for speed and ease. All three forms can be combined effortlessly.

Which shades go well together?

For a complete matte look, combine Bone (base), Sienna (crease), and Dark Suede (definition). For a balanced matte-shimmer look, wear Bone as a base with Allure or Oyster on the eyelid and Dark Suede in the crease. For a statement evening look, use Supernova as the main shade with Bone as a transition shade in the crease.

Are the PurePressed Eye Shadow Singles suitable for mature skin?

Yes. The buttery formula with Shea Butter and jojoba oil is especially suitable for the thin, mature skin around the eye. The finely milled pigments do not settle into fine lines, and the talc-free composition feels comfortable throughout the day.

Are all shades vegan?

Yes. All 6 shades in this selection — Oyster, Allure, Supernova, Bone, Sienna, and Dark Suede — are vegan. The entire line is also wheat-free and talc-free.

Can I combine the singles with other Jane Iredale eyeshadows?

Certainly. The singles combine excellently with the PurePressed Eye Shadow Triple for a broader color library, or with the ColorLuxe Eye Shadow Stick as a cream base under the finely milled mineral pigments for extra intensity and longevity.
