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.

Coverage is good as you can use as many layers as you want. My biggest issue was always with the equipment more than the actual "makeup" product. Hope that helps!

I have beige/brownish skin with cool undertones and the natural works perfectly for me. The powder is a sort of egg shell colour and it just blends in with my skin. I actually think it would work with anyone's skin but perhaps the translucent one may be the safest bet if you're not sure. This product is great for preserving a matte appearance throughout the work day

I use it over the foundation. It's not great for coverage, more of a nice setting powder.

You use these damp too set your make-up.....they would not work for applying mineral powder

No, I would buy foundation too. Both are lightweight. The mineral veil is more of a finishing product than a foundation substitute to me. But, then again, if you have naturally awesome skin, maybe the mineral veil alone will be all you need.

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 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 :)

Mineral Veil is for a finishing touch...in my opinion. I use a medium foundation first, then lightly apply bronzer. The Mineral Veil adds a very nice finish on top of everything. I love these products. Have been using them for years. Good luck.

Absolutely! You won't find a better moisturizer for under makeup (except perhaps for jojoba oil, which is the most like human skin oils). I wear only natural powders in small amounts but my friends who wear more foundation tell me they like to apply the moisturizer right out of the shower and then wait 5-10 minutes before applying makeup to be sure the oil soaks in. I've had no issues whatsoever with my bare minerals and I swear I look younger!

I do find that it does transfer, if by that you mean:against clothing, cell phones etc. I have a hard time finding foundations that truly do not transfer in that regard. I do not personally find that it slides off in humidity(it is currently scorching where I am right now). That may because I use L'Oreal's Mineral veil over top of this foundation-it helps the foundation stay put, covers fine lines and pores and gives my makeup a soft-focus effect. This is a very 'breathable' foundation and does not cause my skin to break out or feel heavy in the humidity.

I too am concerned about ingredients, particularly the use of paraben preservatives after the '04 Japanese study showing increased aging of the skin when exposed to sunlight after a tiny amount of paraben (a preservative in most cosmetics) was included. Bare Escentuals says they are preservative free, but a list of the ingredients in Mineral Veil says that they use both Methylparaben and Propylparaben in that. Any insights?

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.

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.

Yes, I wear it under foundation and get a great coverage. It also helps you use a little less of it so price evens out,too.

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.
