Bare Escentuals BareMinerals Mineral Veil

The Bare Minerals range is a recent discovery for me but one that I'm really glad I made as I absolutely love their foundation. The mineral veil came in my starter pack with the foundation and is a finishing powder designed to be worn over your foundation. Bare Minerals launched their first foundation in 1976, so it's not exactly a new product, just one that has only really become popular lately. Their selling point is that all their products are made from 100% pure crushed minerals and is free from preservatives, perfume, oil and any other nasties that could irritate your skin. Whenever you apply foundation, rather than just sitting on your skin, 60% of it is ...  Read the complete review

Once you use bareminerals you will never turn back to powder or liquid foundation. I'm a true believer in this. I first came across mineral makeup two years ago when I was on holiday in New Zealand and saw it being advertised on tv. As any advertisement it looked great and made me really want to try it. I ordered a starter kit off the internet (which at the time feels like an expense just to try something out) but I have to say it was the best purchase I've ever made and I have never looked back. The powder is so light and easy to apply, it takes minutes to put on in the morning (great if you have that morning rush). Because the powder is so light and silky it ...  Read the complete review

I'm something of a bare escentuals addict. This mineral veil comes in 3 different types, classic, feather-light and tinted. I own all three of them! HOW DO YOU USE IT You apply it after your mineral foundation using the swirl, tap and buff method. Make sure you use a good brush as it makes all the difference. I use the bare escentuals feather light brush and would highly recommend it. Unscrew the jar, tap a light dusting of the mineral veil into the lid (less is more) and swirl your brush into the minerals. The product itself is very fine and can get quite messy, so don't be too heavy-handed with it. Tap off any excess and buff it onto your face in ...  Read the complete review

This is a fabulous product, one of my absolute favourite make-up items of all time! I have always had quite an oily t-zone and no matter what product I used before, I always seemed to be shiny by the middle of the day... but not with this product!! This is an extremely lightweight natural mineral powder (in fact it is so natural that they advise that you can even go to bed and sleep in it) which can be put on before and/ or on top of your foundation to, as the name suggests, provide a 'veil' to cover large pores, fine lines etc and to mattify. It does not sit on the skin like some powders can. It is an extremely easy product to apply using a bare escentuals flawless ...  Read the complete review
