    I have toyed with this product many times over the years. I do like BE's mineral foundations, but this makes me look ashy and pale, no matter what I do. I heard it now comes in a tinted version,...

    I have very sensitive skin and was excited to try this makeup that was supposed to be good for sensitive skin. Well Bare Minerals made my skin feel tight and itchy. I hated the foundation and...

    I love this stuff! It makes me look airbrushed and does absorb the oil on my skin. The key is to use very little because a little goes a long way. One container of this stuff lasts me over 4...

    Count me as another person who is reactive to Mineral Veil. I have strange sensitive skin - some things that should cause problems do not, and others that shouldn't, do. I wore this product for...

    When I first wore this my husband (who didn't know about it) said I looked radiant. (He actually gushed - lol) The next time I used it, a few days later, I got the same reaction from him and some...

    This is a good product and it absorbs oil well but those of you who are proned to breakouts be ware! This product is corn starch based which can clog pores.

    Primarily this is corn starch. I don't have sensitive skin, but EVERY time I tried this I my whole face stung & itched until I washed it off.

    This product works for me if I wear it alone without makeup. It does help reduce shine. If I use it over BE foundation, it doesn't really do anything. It's easy to OD on the Mineral Veil and end up...

    Edited: Initially, I loved this product. When I used it through the winter, though, the love died. I do have shine, and in the winter I have sort of a dry surface but with a definite shine. ...

    I did not like the loose powder or veil. I am a light skin African American and the product made my face look ashy and dry. I have Almay loose powder and BE was not any better. I sent BE back...

    I have used the Mineral Veil ever since I started using BE Foundation, which was right before my wedding a year ago. The mineral veil is awesome! It evens out the perfection of the BE Foundation....

    I use this along with BE foundation, and it works well to “set” my makeup and is very light—quite similar in is effects to the Clinique loose powder I had been using for years. It does not “erase”...

    I really like this stuff. I don't like makeup, so BE has been great for me. I like Mineral Veil the best. It does even everything out and I can wear it without makeup. I have had compliments on...

    I've found this to be close to my HG for oil control. I use Shiseido Matifying Stick, then BE foundation, then this on top...controls the oilies better than anything else I've found! Not sure about...

    Absorbs oiliness and smooths "rough edges" around blush. No talc which is a definite plus.

    This is a very nice powder, with a great silky texture and leaves a nice smooth finish. It works really well as an eye shadow base too. I also like the short ingredient list. I don't find that...
