Jane Iredale PureMatch Liquid Concealer 2N Fair 5ml
Description
Description
Light, versatile liquid concealer for fair skin tones 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 light fair shade with a truly neutral undertone that does not lean warm or cool.
Jane Iredale PureMatch 2N is specially developed for this fair skin tone with a neutral undertone — the most common undertone in fair skin. The liquid formula glides on creamy, builds to medium coverage, and sets to an unobtrusive 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 against 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 skin appearance under makeup.
Oil and wax blend (Sunflower Wax, Neem Seed Oil, Coconut Alkanes): A blend of plant oils and waxes that supports the skin barrier and reduces transepidermal water 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 2N mean?
The N stands for neutral undertone, as opposed to 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 suits you better. When in doubt, the N shade is usually the safest choice — neutral undertones work naturally in almost all situations.
How do I choose between Jane Iredale PureMatch 2N and 1W or 3W?
All three are fair shades but with different undertones. 1W and 3W have a warm-golden undertone (1W is lighter than 3W), while 2N has a truly neutral undertone. Choose 2N if your skin looks neutral in photos and you find both gold and silver jewelry suit you. Choose 1W or 3W if your skin clearly looks warm and gold jewelry suits you better.
Can I use Jane Iredale PureMatch 2N 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 2 or Enlighten Concealer 1) can be applied first, followed by PureMatch 2N 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.
