bareMinerals Mineral Veil

A lovely, airy, and light finishing powder that provides a smooth, natural and silky finish. I have a dryish skin type and this is one of the few powders i found that doesn’t aggravate the dryness more.

I love how it doesn’t add extra strong tones over your existing make up, but adds just enough to give a healthy, smooth complexion.

It’s also great to just brush over a light bb cream when one doesn’t feel like doing a lot of make up.

The product itself is easy to open, however, the holes of the dispenser i think was too big. I always keep my powders in my make up bag, however, over time like most other mineral powders, a lot of powder has already escaped out if the container and on the lid once opened.

I am quite clumsy so i feel like i waste a lot of powder every time i open it. To prevent this happening, i might just have to store it upright in a box or something.

If you’re using the Bare minerals foundation then this is a must have. It sets the foundation and extends its wear time and it also helps to prevent oily spots. I was worried that this would add weight to the feeling of the foundation but it doesn’t and is just as easy to apply. It can also be used to set liquid foundation and is brilliant at setting the under eye area. From memory it is almost the same price as the foundation (around $45-50) but it can be purchased separately or as part of a set. It is the best mineral veil I have tried and I will continue to buy this product and recommend it to friends.

I’m a Bareminerals convert after a YouTuber I watch raved about their products and what amazing results she was having after switching to them.

I use this product as part of my daily make up routine. Mineral veil finishes off your foundation look creating a soft matte glow. The powder is finally milled and sits well on your skin if you buff in well. If not buffed in well it can sit on the skin and look chalky. This powder also comes in a hydrating formula with light defusing pigments. Great for those dry skin girls. I did find with the hydrating mineral veil it does have a strange smell. Where the original has no smell.

I love mineral veil and the flawless, perfect, freshed face look I get with using this gem.

I did a foolish thing. I saw these BareMineral veils on Onceit awhile back for an insane price...I didn’t even pause to check the colour. Facepalm! It arrived and turned out to be a deeper brown. WHO CARES! If you get a shade too dark, just use it as a bronzer /contour/ eyeshadow. Often when I do bridal makeup I will sweep this powder across the lid and it give a blurred effect with a natural crease colour. The packaging is simplistic and professional with a see-through plastic case and a smooth matte black lid. There is a good amount of product, but if I paid normal price I probably would not have bought this item! I feel like I hit the jack pot here :-)

I brought this after I ran out of my cheap but still awesome Rimmel Stay Matte. I was after something that had more of a natural finish. After hearing a lot of hype about the Mineral Veil I decided to splurge (yes this is a splurge for me) and I brought it. I brought it online and although I know it said 9g when I received it I thought it was rather small. I used it to set my foundation and my concealer (foundation being Revlon Colorstay) so i buffed it all over my face and patted it under my eyes. I found 5 minuted after application my under eyes had creased ( I do suffer from dry under eyes) but the rest of my skin looked near perfect and airbrushed. It feels very lightweight and not at all cakey and its super fine - feels like your buffing air onto your face. It kept my foundation on all day and I have now been using it for a month. I use it to set my face but use banana powder under my eyes to avoid the creasing. I will continue to buy this once I have run out - I just love the fresh look it gives my skin.

I have tried a few of the bare mineral products and have been happy with all the ones I have tried, they go on easily, last a long time, look great on and don't feel like your wearing a ton of make up. I found the powder helped my make up last longer

This product is great,very high quality I used it to set my foundatio you swirl your powder brush in the product and tap off any excess then dab it over your face,when you dab it on with the brush it stops it moving your foundation you have just put on,it goes on with no colour but absorbs any oils on your face especially your t zone,it does give a airbrush finish to your makeup,I would buy again and would recomend to others,

On using the hydrating mineral veil i found that my makeup lasted longer than with my usual powder. The mineral veil doesn't make your foundation go cakey unlike may other powders which is great! However, I didn't feel it gave an "airbrushed" finish as advertised but this was expected. This product would be great for you if you want a mineral powder with no coverage to help absorb oils. I wouldn't recommend this if you have dry skin as it make my oily skin feel dry.

This stuff replaced my mac veil as its so much better! Its very light weight, has a slight shimmer and takes a bit of the oil out of my foundation. Perfect staying power, my foundation lasts hours longer, especially around my nose and chin. It also has minimized my smile lines which are my problem area as foundation seems to sink in and make them look biger, this stopped it from sliding. A good sized tub and a little product goes a long way, as if you use too much you look quite shimmery. I got it for $2 off trademe! SCORE

I had a small size of this included with the pack I bought and I love it. It makes your skin look dewy and airbrushed almost. Sets the foundation and make sit last throughout the day. This is a really fine powder so can get quite messy but the new design of the tubs has helped with this issue somewhat.

As with the foundation, it is a bit pricey but worth it.
