    I'm not sure how this product works, but it looks pretty over the BE foundation. It looks like starch but it's natural and absrobs the oils. I do think it controls the shine and gives an...

    This beautiful product works well over any foundation, not just Bare Escentuals minerals. The reason I am writing this review is to recommend the technique of 'sandwiching' to reduce the...

    I keep a container in the car w/ a brush. Quick ck in the vanity mirror and quickly soften my face with this miracle powder. Love it and will never be without it.

    For about two weeks, this product was the best thing going. Normally an oil slick by 9 a.m., my T-zone breezed through late afternoon with nary a glimpse of shine. My skin was matte, soft-focus...

    Horrible product. Claims to be "pure" but if you read the ingredients, it's full of fillers and chemicals. I used BE years ago and had burning and itching when it got warm. I finally found out it...

    I love this stuff. It's a great way to set your makeup, whether you're using BE foundation or something else (I've been using Philosophy's MM). I know some people use it alone, but I definitely...

    I love my Mineral Veil. I buff this on after my foundation and everything looks great. My skin looks flawless with my BE. This sets my makeup for the day.

    Works well as a loose translucent powder. I'm not a big fan of the packaging, it tends to get messy. But i guess that's the price you pay for makeup without fillers and binders.

    LOVE this powder! I use it over BE foundation and sometimes by itself. It makes an amazing difference over the foundation... really a soft focus look for me, as advertised.

    I love the Mineral Veil. I find that it makes the pores around my nose disappear, like an eraser. I also use it under the foundation (and again on top) to minimize my oiliness and shininess. It's a...

    NOT NATURAL! bareMinerals contains synthetic preservatives and irritants- such as parabens and bismuth oxychloride. Try AFTERGLOW cosmetics- they're everything bareMinerals should be, and better

    Yes, Mineral Veil does make you look "poreless." It gave me the appearance of a porcelain China Doll complexion. Very nice--till the flaking on my forehead and breakouts all over came. I wish...
