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!

I use it with Bare Minerals Bare Skin, but it's a liquid. I know that Bare Minerals works with their primer. I suppose you could try it (when you don't need to go anywhere) and see. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I haven't used them with mineral powder myself (I prefer liquid foundation) but these are nearly identical to the Beauty Blender, and I've seen tons of MUAs on YouTube using the BB to apply mineral foundations. EnKoreMakeup's How To: Beauty Blender video covers how to do it very well.

I am 52 and started using bare minerals about a year ago. It does provide a natural looking cover that doesn't look chalky or cakie. It also reduces the appearance of pores. I have large pores and have gotten compliments from my teenage daughter that they aren't noticeable now.Needless to say " I really like Bare minerals!"

I use it daily, but at night. I feel like its a little too filmy to wear during the day/under makeup. I don't think it gives a lot of moisture, but rather balances out my skin.

About three or four years ago, my face broke out and the dermatologist said it was Rosacea, gave me prescriptions and suggested that I try mineral makeup. This has worked perfect for me...it doesn't aggravate it at all. Just once in a while, I will have a flare up, but I love this makeup and I get compliments all the time on my complexion. Try it, I think you will thoroughly enjoy it. I also use the blush...I love it too!

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.

Thanks Reyes, this is very helpful. Thanks to you, I will be sure to give it plenty of time to dry. It sounds like might not give me exactly the visual effect I was hoping for, but I will end liking it for the way it makes my face feel (which is what it is really suppose do to.) I will try it out this weekend. Thanks again.

I use it after foundation and it works perfectly well. Looks like you dont put on makeup at all. A lot of my friends dont recognize I wear makeup everytime I hang out w them.

Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience with this company, not so much the product (the make up worked well) and when the machine actually worked, I was pleased, but I felt as though I spent a lot of money upgrading to a better quality of machine and that one broke after two uses. Just not what it's cracked up to be and although their customer service reps are very nice, overall their customer service is not good. I went back to Bare Minerals and am very happy that i did. I hope this helps:)

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

In my experience, it will not completely cover a break out. But, it does a good job of helping conceal when used with bare minerals foundation. I love this product and use it regularly. This is some what odd, cause I have a blem on my chin next to my lip and applied this this morning and was happy with the result. I use a smaller brush to "push" it into where I want it when I have a blem. The brush that comes with it is remarkable. Good Luck.

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 think this is the issue. I too am a bit older (49) and I wanted BE because of other women I saw who wore the product and looked amazing. This is what I have noticed. Those who look great are usually not fair and I would guess don't have dry skin. For me, I am fair and have very dry skin. I find I do not look good in just using the minerals. What has worked best for me is using Lancome underneath with the moisturizing mineral veil from BE as a powder. I think it really depends on your skin type and that no one product is good for everyone which is a bit sad as the women who look good with BE look amazing. To date, though the best product I have found for aging skin is in fact Lancome. I think this is the issue.

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.
