Do you need to buy the veil as well with this? Or is the foundation enough? What's the point of the veil?

You don't have to but it works like any powder you would use for any foundation. It gives a finishing touch.

No, you don't need the mineral veil. I use it only for very special occasions when I want an absolutely flawless finish. If you use too much of it, it will make you look dry and can settle in fine lines. Use it lightly when and if you use it.

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!

No, you don't have to buy the skin separately. It can be used without it, but we have never done that. The eyelet is part of the skin also.

Yes you can purchase this veil in white, just select white in the color option selection and make your purchase.

It can be quicker but I wouldn't rely on just this for coverage at the beach or while doing sports. I'm very fair and wear it more like a regular makeup for when I'm outside at different events and want to look nice and have some SPF. It feels nice and light like a mineral makeup and covers just as well.

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).

Yes it comes with the veil. And I couldn't tell you. We like this item. Good luck.

I think so! Get the foundation in a color close to your skin tone. Then finish with the 'mineral veil' that softens everything. They make a pre-foundation product skin revver upper, or something. It's supposed to be step #1- but I skip it, as serums & moisturizers give me zits.

Yes. I use a liquid foundation and use the mineral veil as a final foundation.

It does. We ordered and have since received the recommended foundation. It's really worth every penny!

I use the nyx powder as a finishing veil after I have used my foundation and powder. I use a kabuki brush to apply a small amount. I find it reduces shine and keeps make makeup looking freshly applied.

not sure, but this will really throw you for a loop...for me? it's really a combination of the two. I didn't realize it had foundation in it or I would not have bought it as I NEVER wear any make up at all except for eyebrow pencil and occasional eye shadow. That said, as worried as I was that people would notice 'foundation make-up on me, it really doesn't show...in spite of it having color, it is minimal; covers a couple of what I call 'age spots' (I am 71 years 'seasoned'...but is unobtrusive. I would recommend the product to anyone and if you are really looking for a foundation, you may want something stronger!

yes i do, but try to use all the same type of makeup as this is powder allow your foundation to be powder base also.

Yes, you need both a base coat & top coat. I use the top coat by gellish :)

You can do it either way. I find with this product its best to apply over the foundation and blend out.

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.

It doesn't say what product you're talking about, if you're talking about mineral veil its a nice size container bigger than the one on the website and it has click lock and go, if it's the foundation its small not tiny but small it doesn't have click, lock and go and the color isn't what it is from BE to be honest for the foundation I'm not sure if it' genuine the color is off too light, I'm very unhappy with it. I hope this helps.

I would say it's in place of a foundation. It's not a primer. It would be a light foundation, but it does provide some coverage.
