Liquid concealer for dark skin with a neutral undertone
A good concealer should do more than just hide imperfections. Perfectly matching your own skin tone is the foundation — but the same formula should also be suitable to brighten the skin, define contours, and be applied under the eyes or over red spots without creasing or oxidizing. What is often missing in the market: a dark shade with a truly neutral undertone that does not lean warm or cool.
Jane Iredale PureMatch 11N is specially developed for dark skin with a neutral undertone — an undertone that is often difficult to match because many brands typically pigment dark skin tones too warm or too red. The liquid formula glides on creamy, builds to medium coverage, and sets to a subtle soft matte finish that lasts all day without oxidizing. The precision doe-foot applicator makes both targeted spot application (on pimples, pigmentation spots, around the nostrils) and broader coverage on larger areas easy. Fully vegan, gluten-free, and non-comedogenic — suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin. Nourishing ingredients like Prickly Pear and Indian Dammar keep the skin supple and help prevent moisture loss.

Active ingredients
Indian Dammar (Shorea Robusta Resin): A natural plant resin that supports skin elasticity and makes the skin soft and supple. A lesser-known but powerful nourishing ingredient that gives the concealer a caring character.
Prickly Pear (Opuntia Ficus-Indica) Extract: A cactus extract rich in antioxidants that soothes, softens, and hydrates the skin. Protects the skin from oxidative stress while keeping the concealer in place.
Vitamin E (Tocopherol): A classic antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals and contributes to a healthy complexion under makeup.
Oil and wax blend (Sunflower Wax, Neem Seed Oil, Coconut Alkanes): A blend of plant-based oils and waxes that supports the skin barrier and reduces transepidermal moisture loss — important to prevent dryness with prolonged use.
Mica & mineral pigments: Provide a natural finish and coverage without a cakey or mask-like effect.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the N in 11N mean?
The N stands for neutral undertone, versus W for warm. Unsure about your undertone? Look at the veins on the inside of your wrist. If they appear more blue or purple, you have a cool/neutral undertone and an N shade suits you. If they look green, you have a warm or olive undertone and a W shade is better. When in doubt, the N shade is usually the safest choice — neutral undertone works naturally in almost all situations.
How do I choose between Jane Iredale PureMatch 11N and 10N or 12W?
11N has a pure neutral undertone, while 10N has an olive nuance — an important difference if you clearly don’t see a greenish tint in your skin. Compared to 12W, 11N is almost as dark, but 12W has a warm undertone while 11N is neutral. Choose 11N if your dark skin does not have a pronounced warm or olive glow.
Can I use Jane Iredale PureMatch 11N under the eyes as well?
Yes. Unlike the color-correcting concealers (Enlighten, Circle Delete), PureMatch is an all-over concealer suitable for the entire face. For dark circles with a strong blue undertone, a color-correcting concealer (such as Circle Delete 3 or Enlighten Plus No. 3) can be applied first, followed by PureMatch 11N for a matching finish.
Does PureMatch contain SPF?
No, PureMatch Liquid Concealer does not contain SPF. For UV protection, Jane Iredale recommends finishing with Powder-Me SPF or an SPF foundation, or wearing a separate sunscreen.
Is the concealer vegan?
Yes, PureMatch Liquid Concealer is completely vegan, gluten-free, and cruelty-free. Unlike the Enlighten Concealer and Circle Delete, this formula contains no beeswax.
