    ugh, i only use this in very specific places on my face to reduce shine. i can't use it as a finishing powder over concealor/foundation because it makes me look very cakey. i don't suggest it....

    I love this product to help even out the colors of my face. And I love it even more as a touch-up after I've been out in the heat and sweating. It immediately makes that annoying oily shine go...

    Using this both under and over my BE mineral foundation has made a big difference. I wasn't in LOVE with my BE foundation b/c it seemed to accentuate my already large pores a bit - but this smooths...

    My opinion is divided with this one. On one hand this powder is soft, kinda translucent but still has some pigment, and sets my foundation while controling the oil on my t zone at least for half...

    The product leaves a nice finish on my skin, although in photos, my face shows up like a ghost's....very grainy white. In normal settings, I like the way my face has a soft finish to it when I...

    This is great! you probably don't need it though if you have found a primer you like. I use this as a setting powder w/out the use of a primer (because I haven't found a primer I love yet).

    I've been using Bare Minerals, and I'm actually quite dissapointed. I have acne scarring, and it gave me NO coverage at all. I actually liked the Mineral Veil; it did seem to "finish it off"....

    I've been using BE products for several months now, and my skin has almost completely cleared up. I have combination skin that gives me a horribly oily t-zone, and the Mineral Veil has practically...

    I love the texture of this. It is much finer than most finishing powders and does not interfere with any other color on my face. It is a little expensive, but everyone at work thinks I have the...

    Edited 7/08. I'd give this one about a 3 1/2 now. I just don't find it all that useful, compared to other mineral makeup powders and primers that I have, now. It's great for setting makeup (even...

    What a horrible product, it leaves your face white, chalky and looking oily-shiny at the same time. In a couple of ours it got even worse - all my pores were like moon craters and noticable miles...

    The very first time I used MV, I didn't see the difference or need for it. Then I ran out and realized I couldn't live without it. I sandwich MV with my BE minerals for some added security...

    I really like the mineral veil, but the packaging isn't perfect. Pros: 1) keeps my shiny, sometimes oily skin under control (whether over liquid or mineral foundation), 2) very lightweight, and...

    So to use this product, the hardest part is opening it. You turn it over upside down, then you turn it right side-up and tap a couple times. The remaining powder on the lid should be just enough to...

    This is pretty good to mattify the complexion but warning be careful not to use too much because its easy to make it look powdery on the face, and make pores even more obvious. But it works...
