Liquid semi-matte foundation for medium skin with a versatile neutral undertone
For women with a medium skin tone and neutral undertone, choosing a foundation is both simple and demanding. Simple because a neutral shade naturally suits both cool and warm tones. Demanding because a neutral shade must be spot on — a formula that’s too cool makes the skin look gray, too warm makes it flat. The perfect neutral shade is precisely balanced, and that balance is rarer than it seems.
The Jane Iredale Beyond Matte M8 is that balance. As the most versatile shade in the range, the 3-in-1 formula of primer, concealer, and foundation in one layer covers a broad spectrum of medium skin tones. The neutral color temperature makes M8 suitable for changing light conditions, different seasons, and various occasions — without the shade ever looking out of place.
Color: M8 is a classic, balanced medium beige with a purely neutral undertone — no yellow, no pink, but a timeless shade that flawlessly matches a wide range of medium skin tones.

Active Ingredients
Celery Seed and Flaxseed Extract: The brand-specific combination of celery seed and flaxseed is especially valuable for a neutral medium skin tone because it perfects the foundation’s finish without disturbing the color balance. Celery seed extract structurally controls shine, while flaxseed extract visually smooths and evens the skin texture — so the neutral shade of M8 sits pure and even on the skin, in any light.
Tamarind Extract: Neutral skin tones are sensitive to color shifts caused by dryness or fatigue. Tamarind extract provides structural hydration that supports the skin’s suppleness throughout the day and prevents the foundation from losing its color accuracy. The result is a complexion that looks just as fresh and even after twelve hours of wear as it did upon application.
Jojoba Oil: The waxy structure of jojoba oil closely matches the skin's sebum, creating a skin-like fusion of formula and complexion. For a neutral medium skin tone, jojoba contributes to a color representation that maintains depth and brightness — without disrupting the matte finish or leaving a greasy residue.
Honeysuckle extract (Lonicera Caprifolium & Japonica): Two types of honeysuckle work together as a plant-based preservative system that completely replaces synthetic preservatives. The extract also has a soothing effect on the skin, which benefits the daily wearability of the foundation even for sensitive skin types.
Tocopherol (vitamin E): As a fat-soluble antioxidant, vitamin E protects the skin from environmental factors that can dull or shift a neutral complexion. It supports a stable, clear color rendering of the foundation throughout the day and contributes to well-cared-for skin condition with long-term use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Jane Iredale Beyond Matte M8 also suitable if my skin tone gets slightly darker in summer?
M8 is a neutral medium shade that serves as a reliable base all year round. In summer, when the skin darkens slightly, you can mix M8 with M9 or M10 for a seamless seasonal match. In winter, M8 suits most medium skin tones without adjustment.
What makes a neutral undertone different from a warm or cool one?
A neutral undertone contains no dominant yellow, orange, or pink component. The shade therefore seems to suit a wide spectrum of skin tones on its own and works in any light. M8 is precisely tuned to that color temperature—a stable, versatile shade without a pronounced direction.
How can I be sure that M8 is the right choice and not M7 or M9?
M7 has a warm earthy undertone, M9 a cooler direction. M8 is exactly in between. Unsure? Jane Iredale offers a 100% color matching guarantee, so you can always confidently choose the right shade.
