I like this product better than Bare Escentual's foundations. It help to minimize my pores and gives my skin a matte finish. It's also non-irritating to my skin which is great since I suffer from...

I love the foundations and I love the mineral veil. This is a GREAT product. I actually ran out of this product and went back to using my old stand-by: T. LeClerc powder in translucide. I used...

I didn't see anything that special with this powder, but then I only tried it on at the store without purchasing. It did do a good job of keeping me shine-free throughout the day, even on the nose....

I think this powder is just ok. I mean, this powder doesn't work any better than any other good quality translucent powder. Ok, so why did I give it high marks? Because it does work and it works...

I love this powder! It soaks up the oil nicely and it doesn't make you look like a sick ghost. I sometimes mix this in with the mineral foundation to get more of a matte look. This is also great to...

I wanted to love this, but it is no match for oily skin. I gave it to my mum who is drier and she loves it.

THIS POWDER SETS MOST FOUNDATION PRETTY WELL, BUT IT DOESN'T REALLY DO ANYTHING TO MATTIFY YOUR FACE. I'LL PROBABLY BUY THIS AGAIN UNLESS I FIND A BETTER REPLACEMENT. I WISH IT WAS MORE PORTABLE.

I like the mineral veil, it helps keep down the oily shine I sometimes get in humid weather. A good tip is to apply the mineral veil both before the foundation & after to help reduce shine even...

Not a good powder for oily skin. Very light and sheer, but my oily skin still looks too shiny after using it.

This is a fantastic loose powder! I had been using Chanel Double Perfection compact powder to blot out shine, but I always noticed that it left me a little cakey, even when used sparingly. It also...

I love the foundation, but don't get the point of the Mineral Veil. It's a perfectly nice powder, but doesn't do anything for me that any other powder wouldn't do. I use Maybelline's Shine Free...

This is not one of those products that I ever think I could rave about. To me, it changes the look of my foundation/blush too much. Even though I get shiny midway through the day, I'm not usually...

Mineral veil is the lightest, sheerest powder that I have used. It does make your skin appear "soft focus" just like the ads claim. It diminishes the appearance of large pores and does not settle...
