Wearing BE Mineral Veil over normal make up... I'm perfectly happy with the makeup I wear now, but after seeing ads and reading the reviews I'm curious. Does the BE Mineral Veil work well over normal makeup? ...or do you HAVE to wear the rest of the Bare Escentuals line for it to look great? I just don't think the price on the rest of the line is worth it if I am already content with what I know... Wearing BE Mineral Veil over normal make up...

I wear it over Pur Minerals pressed powder foundation and love the effect! It works very well. I like that it softens the look of my makeup and gives it a glow.

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.

I bought the BM starter kit and really only use the MV. I continue to wear my regular foundation that I have worn for years and still use the MV. I always used CornSilk pressed powder for shine control, but besides the fact that they dont make it anymore, I find that using the MV over my foundation is great! I go all day without blotting!

Apply it OVER the mineral makeup and blend it well. The effect will not be good if you place makeup over it.

i've been using Bare Minerals for several years. It seems like the same stuff I've been using. It goes on good and my skin doesn't break out

I just bought all the BE and I am not totally satisfied. I will keep playing with the brushes and minerals. But I too have large pores and was horrified to see them look twice as big, when I tried to apply it myself. When I went to the BE store in Dallas this afternoon, they applied it. My pores didn't look big then, so I will keep trying.I thought about using a water mist spray to set in better. But if what others are saying about the staying power is true, I may be defeating the coverage.

If you have an Ulta, Sephora, or Bare Escentuals store near you, they can match your skin with the correct BareMinerals foundation for free. Is there another foundation that you have been using? If so, that can be helpful in matching your BareMinerals foundation shade.

The first time I purchased a bare minerals foundation powder, I went into a retail store and had a customer service person help me look at the shades with my skin. After choosing the correct shade, I order online. I think that is the best way to avoid ordering a shade you aren't happy with.

I use it under Maybelline's Instant age rewind eraser treatment makeup, keeps my skin moist, I have very dry skin, seems to smooth my skin, I really don't know how it would do as a primer under a mineral based makeup.

I would get the lightest color. In the summer I a color a step up from the one I use in the winter. Hope this helps.it is best to get summer bisque and mineral veil to go along with the base color in my opinion. I have splotchy skin. So I use several bare mineral products and when I do my skin looks radiant.

I love my mineral peel, it works great. I ordered from Amazon through seller pretty77. I had never used a product like this, but I'm so happy with the results. I have adult acne and the products I used tend to cause flaking/peeling of my skin. When I use the mineral peel, it takes off all the dead skin without stinging. Then I have a fresh face canvas to apply my products too without having to scrub my face to remove the dry skin. I use this product 4-5 days a week on my face. LOVE it. I wouldn't know how to tell if the product is fake before purchasing, but mine came in a glass bottle and looks legit with the labeling and what it claims to do. Very happy with it.

I bought one sold here by "Always Beautiful" and it was a definite knock off! It is not worth the $10.99. Go to the real store and buy the real stuff. I love the real Bare Minerals products. It is worth the price and lasts a long time!

I think it's to be worn over makeup-- is usually the last thing I put on. it's very natural and not sparkly. I suppose you could mix it with makeup? I don't wear foundation, just concealer and bronzer. I love this stuff and thinks it makes a very nice, subtle difference. Gives skin that glowy/dewy look where you want it and doesn't make you lookshiny. hope this helps :)

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.

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 have like light/beige skin and SUPER oily face (I mean oil slicks after an hour out of the shower), and I got the Pore Clearing. It does it's function, and it kind of keeps you matte, but it's light. It's kind of made for the tone you see in the picture. If you dont mind being a little lighter, and plan on dusting on some powder after then it's not bad, obviously great if you plan on staying pale-ish, but not if you like to tan. Honestly I find E.L.F's mineral foundation line matched up with their Make-up Mist and set to be great for staying matte, and if you want a good primer, their Pore-less primer is great. But if you want a BB, this does the trick. I have like light/beige skin and SUPER oily face (I mean oil slicks after an hour out of the shower), and I got the Pore Clearing.

Hi Tanisha I'm not a beauty advisor, but I do know that depending what you are trying to accomplish, the mask works GREAT by itself. The only other product I would recommend is the eye cream because you can't get the mask anywhere near your eyes. By using the cream around your eyes you enjoy a more constant look than using the mask alone. I have been using both products since I was accosted in a mall by an overly pushy salesperson who wanted to sell me everything. I bought the mask only and was so astonished by the results that I went to Amazon to re-supply at a better price.
