Wearing BE Mineral Veil over normal make up... Does the BE Mineral Veil work well over normal makeup?

I have worn it over regular make up and it's fine. Also, I only use Clinique shadows and liner and have no issue mixing Clinique with BE foundation, either. It should work either way.

Generally, mineral makeup is for sensitive skin. I did not see the actual words non-comedogenic, but it does say gentle. I've been using this for many years and have very sensitive skin that breaks out easily. I find this to be the best for my skin. It lets your skin breathe. After using Bare Minerals, I switched to Loreal and prefer it. Also I have fair skin and use soft ivory not the natural beige. As for the expiration date, not sure. I imagine two years. Hope some of this helps!

i am very happy with my purchase. my face looks fresh all day.. i believe this product is well worth the money. as to some people thinking it is not the real deal, all i can say is make sure you are using good brushes and keep your skin healthy.. minerals are good for your skin and when used on a regular bases, you will have less break outs and feel more confidant.I believe this is real Bare Escentuals mineral makeup. i am very pleased with mine..

I'm the same way. It definitely blurs them and makes them less "oh snap, you've got adorable freckles!" than I enjoyed, but it didn't cover them entirely. I don't mean to plug another product here, but after years and years I just ended up using the Bare Escentuals (sp?) mineral veil with SPF 30 mixed with the original foundation. The mixing is important: it takes away the thickness of the foundation but is still weirdly sheer, so it evens my complexion without covering up my freckles. Took a couple of tries to get the ratios right, but hand to God, it's perfect.

Have you been using the product still? How is it? i'm 29 years old thinking of trying it. I use the BE Makeup.

I just use the same or similar color as regular makeup I use. It worked for me. I have a light skin tone.

I've worn BareMinerals for years, and have gone without the veil for the last 3yrs...the veil is supposed to "hold" the foundation in place, and give you a "flawless" look. Personally it's not needed and for me, I skip it and save the $$ because I don't see it does much...at times it got "cakey" and I'm sure not going for that look!

Yes. That is exactly how I wear it. It isn't quite enough coverage for me to wear it alone, but it helps your foundation look smooth and stay on longer (I think...at least for me).

truthfully, I did not see that kind of difference. nor did it really help set my makeup (keep it from rubbing off). hope that it helps.

You could try Maybelline's FitMe foundations. I haven't used Mineral Power is quite a while now, but I do remember thinking that the FitMe foundations reminded me of it. Definitely easier to get your hands on that too...

I use it under moisturizer. Sometimes, if I am not going to apply makeup, I use it alone during the day to let my skin breathe a little. I love the texture and feel of it. I do believe it is working for me.

About a year ago when I started using mineral makeup, I did not buy Bare Minerals because of the bismuth oxychloride. I had a mild reaction to it, and I did not like the shiny, unnatural glow it gave my face. Now I use Afterglow Cosmetics (www.afterglowcosmetics.com) and silk powder makeup from Aubrey Organics (www.aubrey-organics.com, search: silk powder). They are amazing. Try them for yourself, and I think you'll feel better about what you are putting on your skin.

I use the foundation and then top it off with mineral veil. It isn't for coverage.

Mineral Veil is for a finishing touch...in my opinion. I use a medium foundation first, then lightly apply bronzer. The Mineral Veil adds a very nice finish on top of everything. I love these products. Have been using them for years. Good luck.

if you're a medium like Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Aniston yes you use this, if product is a bit light then you can sweep a mineral bronzer over face and fine.But any darker like the character Elena (Nina Doborv) of Vampire Diaries , then this is too light for your skin tone. It does allow for build-ability which is great for more or less coverage and for the price , go for it!, Thanks for asking, hope the answer helps u.

You use these damp too set your make-up.....they would not work for applying mineral powder

I haven't used it on myself, but I use it omy my daughter daily (on body and face). The texture is very creamy and rubs in easily, unlike other mineral based sunscreens. It provides excellent covereag, although it is heavier than things like Neutragena face. Haven't tried the face one yet, but that could be an option for you.
