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.

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.

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.

It's mineral makeup. It's a concealer of all flaws. You can use it alone or on top of a base. I use it on top of their primer. It's the best thing ever created in the world of makeup

I would wear this under your makeup. It's tinted so it may change your skin tone a bit. I highly recommend it, though it may change your makeup routine.

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'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!

I disagree about the white cast. If you use the amount that you should for a physical sunblock then it does leave a bit of a white cast. I suspect that a lot of it has to do with the color of your skin though. I found that this did transfer onto my clothing when I used it on my body (did not dry/absorb even after a significant amount of time), and I actually don't think that it would work that well under make-up. It's also fairly thick. Elta MD has some good options to use under makeup. We have a Babo Botanicals stick, and it actually IS clear although we find it to be a bit too sticky.

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.

It depends on your skin quality and how much coverage you want. It's really light. I pair it with a solid loose powder on days I want really light coverage and that works fine. I've also paired it with mineral powder as well for a bit more coverage. Personally, I would think foundation on top might be a bit much.

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've never tried it with mineral make up but I wouldn't use it for my eyeshadow because of the size and sponge like material #justmyopiniontho

Hello, i wear it under makeup all of the time. All you need is a little on under the eye and on your lid it goes a long way :) when you put on your under eye concealer remember to blend it well.

The Bare Minerals broke my face out so I had to return it.I've used Everyday Minerals (everydayminerals.com) for a month, and just love it! It's also about half the cost of the BE. The Everyday does NOT have the bismuth chloride in it. They have a free sample kit ($3.97 postage) that's fantastic. Do try the Everyday. The lighter shades run really light, BTW.

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

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.

This is a good primer, but I know the weather you're speaking of and there probably isn't a primer that would stand up to the really hot, humid days. It is supposed to help prevent makeup from falling off your face (as any primer would) but they also help with proper blending of makeup. You might want to consider switching the foundation you are using, or use a different formula foundation. Sometimes powder based foundations stand up to heat a little better than others. Good luck.
