Feather Light mineral veil is AWESOME November 6, 2008
I was looking for a dewy non-matte look. I tried using MACs strobe cream on top of my foundation but that did not really seem to work well. I also tried mixing BE's Flawless Radience with my BE foundation which was ok. I did not want to use flawless radience by itself because it seemed too shiny. BUT the feather light mineral veil is exactly what I was looking for. It has a little bit of sparkle to it which reflects the light and illuminates my face but does not make me look shiny or glittery. It still does the same things that regular mineral veil does by absorbing oil and smoothing and finishing foundation.
Acne prone skin, and still rooting for this! October 30, 2008
Ok, so I see lots of negative reviews on this product for acne prone skin... I can honestly say that I have very acne prong skin, since I was very young, its mostly in the sides of my face, but still very annoying. I started using proactive and the bare minerals a few years ago. Together they have kept most of my acne under control. Maybe the negative reviewers are going based on what they've read versus how they've experienced it, because I find that with this type of product you need so little of it, that even if it contained ingredients that may cause clogging, you would not need much of it.
Additionally I find that where as the foundations become creamy as you put it on your face, the mineral veil stays more powdery then creamy, so you literally do get a feather dusting on your face which gives you that airbrushed appearence. I don't know much about ingredients, but having used these products for several years, and still using them on and off, I can honestly say they've worked great for my combination skin. The only way to know whether they work for you is if you try it.
 ick! October 18, 2008

I used to really love Bare Minerals..... until I found out about the ingredient Bismuth Oxychloride. At first my face LOVED this stuff. But after a few months of using it I noticed that when I wore it my face would be itchier then usual. I also started breaking out a LOT more then usual. It wasn't until I did some investigative work that I found out about that Bismuth ingredient and how heavy it is on your face. The whole reason you have to BUFF the makeup on is because the Bismuth Oxychloride is so heavy that it needs to be PUSHED into your skin. I noticed that my makeup felt and eventually looked like it slid off my face BECAUSE of how heavy it really is (you wouldn't think it was a heavy makeup being that it's mineral powder!)
I stopped using this stuff and IMMEDIATELY saw a difference in my face. It went from being ruddy looking to clean and clear and glowing. I switched my makeup to Alima Mineral makeup and WHAT a difference! For one thing you don't have to BUFF the stuff onto your face, and I feel you get SO much more powder for the price (Which is about the same as Bare Minerals!) The whole reason it feels like you get so much more is because you use a lot LESS! I LOVE Alima Mineral Makeup!

[ASIN:B000KI8J00 Bare Escentuals Get Started Kit Light/Fairly Light]] This is how to get started and it is so wonderful that you will be hooked.
It is cheaper to buy in kits, but after you start using these products you will have to have more and more colors and products. I have been using these products for 6 yrs.... I will never go back to creams.
Wonderful for sensitive skin. Light and Easy to use August 30, 2008
Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil, just one of the line of BE products is a very light powder that cuts out the shine, is not perfumy, is extremely good for sensitive skin and extremely easy to use. Buy it and try it.
