Mineral Veil Finishing Powder

Sensitive skin friendly Everyday setting powder. Balances skin throughout the day. Love this! Doesn’t clog pores and cause breakouts.

FYI: This is for the MATTE finish, NO color.Anyways. It's a Saturday night and I could be doing so much but after online shopping and seeing some reviews, I figured let's add goodness.This powder is truly meant for me. I dont know why I settled for more expensive powders and non natural looking powders...For $32 CAD....this is worth every penny.I swirl on my skin after foundation application and it makes me look literally flawless. I have acne prone skin, textured skin from acne scarring, minor clear flesh bumps - and this product makes it look less aggressive and less rough. It honestly blurs out the imperfections, pores and lines. Like it makes you look picture perfect ready. It seems to be like an eraser where it makes your skin go from a 5 to a solid 7.Now speaking of the REAL job...oil control. Lord...what do I say. This ACTUALLY keeps my skin matte and oily skin under control. I wear makeup in the early AM for my job and I get oily around 1:30 PM ~. I blot my face during lunch and I get a sheet that's not oilier than McDonald's fries. Like it keeps skin at a healthy glow. It keeps the oil away to the point where I believe the U.S HATES this product....because the U.S tries to invade my face since it's so oily but this product fights it off. Oil where?I will not ever use another other product. This has healthy ingredients. I CAN pronounce all of the ingredients. It has less than a handful of ingredients as well.The ZEA MAYS keeps the oil away and the MODIFIED corn starch keeps skin silky.This is how my oils are very minimal and I look airbrushedWow. What a product...and it doesn't smell. Doesn't feel heavy. Hasn't broken me out either Less

I read numerous negative reviews about this product, but decided to take a leap of faith and try it anyway. I'm SO glad I did!I have extremely fair skin (beyond porcelain, if you can believe it!) with dark brown hair and blue eyes. My skin tends to be quite dry. I'm blessed with virtually invisible pores, but because I'm so fair, my dark circles are more pronounced and any redness around my nose stands out.I've always liked setting my concealer & cream blush with Mineral Veil. The only downside has been that no matter how light handed I am (and as I'm getting older), though it blends beautifully, it always makes my skin look even drier.I've tried every "dewy", "luminous", "glow" product out there and they always make my fair skin look greasy, shimmery, unnatural and fake. Uh, no.This Powder Duo is perfect! So finely milled it even works on/around my eyes with no drying or enhancing fine lines. The Illumination is EXACTLY what I've wanted for years! So natural, it's as if Im wearing nothing at all...BUT! the difference without it is noticeable. No one notices my makeup "oooh, I love your glow stick!" ), they notice my great skin.I've experienced none of the issues other customers express about the pallet being too hard or product not coming off on the brush. Mine is very densely packed and only releases a small amount at a time on the brush, but it's all you need and it's buildable. Any more, your pallet would be empty in a week like so many very inexpensive brands. If I rub my finger across, plenty of product releases. If your pallet truly is so hard packed no product is coming off, perhaps it's from a defective lot?Please keep this product coming, it's wonderful!!! Less

I started using this foundation at the height of its popularity and it was my daily foundation for YEARS. I used to be obsessed with flawless coverage, despite my skin being relatively clear other than a handful light acne marks, one or two darker acne marks, and maybe one pimple. I wore medium-heavy full coverage foundation daily to completely hid it all. And usually no other makeup. The medium-heavy foundation and my obsessive powdering of my oily skin was almost definitely clogging my pores and leading to the acne.Switching to BareMinerals lessened the number of products I was using on my skin, hid what I wanted to hid, looked way more natural, was fun to put on, and provided great SPF as well. I loved that after "buffing" the foundation powder on, I could use the powder powder as concealer as well on any darker spots and it blended perfectly and way more easily than the stick concealer I had been using. And the "concealer" coverage lasted much longer. BareMinerals doesn't sell the same concealer burst as I have anymore but I'm sure their new one works as well. Mine is like a double sized eyeshadow brush, with bristles stiffer than an eyeshadow brush and less thick than a usual concealer brush. (Well actually I have two! I used to carry one in my bag for touch ups.)Also, my skin definitely improved.I got older and started a PhD program and stopped caring as much about coverage (and the acne lessened a bit) so moved on to just a tinted moisturizer and a quick brush of translucent powder for daily use. What I miss most how well the BareMinerals powder blended as a concealer when I was using this as foundation. « less

Yeah for minerals I said! Yeah for a product that isnt a greasy heavy cream or stick, or thick gloopy mess! It wont clot my pores, wont upset my delicate and allergic skin, will wash off easily, wont be messy...I had a thousand reasons I wanted this product! Wow, how I wanted this product. I paid (the full price when it first came out I might ad) and anxiously awaited for the set to arrive. I paid the extra monies to have the (then) optional DVD of how to apply and use the product with it as well because frankly I have never been much of a makeup wearer. I am allergic to most things, especially anything in cream form, or anything with an oil/petrolium base, so my selection of this product was done very carefully and after speaking with a representative. Now, mind you, I am no spring chicken, but I dont have definate wrinkles either, just the precurser of lines to the forehead, I dont even have laugh or smile lines. But boy did this product just set me up to look old. I watched the video all the way through once just for general interest, the next time I watched, I sat with the products and tried them all out with the video directions. I wasnt real happy with how it applied to my face, settling into every nook and cranny and into anything that was even hinting at being a wrinkle in the next millenium! I tried a different application, same, I tried more, same. I tried different brushes, different techniques, even talked to the company about what I was doing wrong. Guess what? Nothing. There is just a small percentage of us that this make up wont work for. Light and thin skinned people or heavily haired persons she said. Lovely. Seems like they should have put that on the ad to begin with. So ladies, if you are light, thin or hairy skinned, dont bother. This product is not for you. And if you have allergies that focus themselves mostly on your eyes, dont bother either, I had a horrible eye reaction to the eye shadows. They may be natural minerals, but they are still minerals and cause the same bad allergy affects. <span class="shop__a pd-reviews__translate-span">« less</span>
