bareMinerals Tinted Mineral Veil Setting Powder 5-stars Reviews

Better for Neutral-warm toned & olive-skinned tone folks

I absolutely love this setting powder. From my own experience,

this is better for people who have warm, neutral-warm, & olive toned people. It doesn't make me look like a ghost or change the color of my make up like the original did. The original powder made me look ashy & pasty. So I'd say, as someone who has neutral-warm undertones with light olive skin this works well & it enhanced my make up rather than change the color drastically. So anyone who has cooler undertones, might wanna avoid this one and opt for the Illuminating or original powder. This one might make you look too ashy if you have cooler undertones. There are also setting powders with skin tones in mind as well.

Beautiful

I don't like wearing a lot of makeup on my skin. I am an esthetician so I have pretty flawless skin. I hate the feeling of foundation. I used this last night on just my bare skin so eliminate the shiny effect from my moisturizer. It made my skin glow. I only did my eyebrows, mascara, blush and a bit of highlighter. It looked like I had perfect foundation on. My skin looked amazing. As others have said it's not translucent. I have light colored skin. Not fair but it's light. I think if my skin was any lighter it would be too dark. It would be nice to have a translucent version of this. I dust a little on my neck to make sure my face doesn't look too dark. But I'm extremely pleased with the results of only using this with no foundation or skin tint. Just took 15 min off my makeup routine.

Exactly what I wanted

I first tried a different illuminating finishing powder and it separated my skin tint and made my face look patchy. Also wasn't illuminating. This product is everything that one wasn't. I use it on top of Morphe Skin Tint and my skin glows. It's not glittery or shimmery. It didn't cause any patchiness and looked perfect. I'm going to experiment with using IT bye bye pores setting powder then using this on top. Also it didn't accentuate my pores like some illuminating powder products do. It's perfect.

BareMinerals will always be

BareMinerals will always be a brand that I love for face powders and bronzers! I have been using the matte loose powder foundation in medium beige since I was 15 years old, I did all-star cheerleading and wore a full face of makeup from a young age when going to competitions but I had sensitive skin and most liquid foundation broke my skin out so BareMinerals became my best friend even going through my early to mid 20s I still used it, I just could have an even all over coverage that stayed on even in the summer months but my love for the mineral veil started in my late 20s because as I got older I started having dry skin and had to switch to liquid foundations and bb creams but I still like to set my face and alot of powders instantly suck the hydration out and I'll look like I've been in a sand storm in the sahara(Soo dry!!) But the mineral veil is so fine and it literally feels like you put nothing on your face but it sets everything perfectly! And it doesn't set in my fine lines like so many other finishing powders! You need to try the mineral veil if you have dry skin but are needing a good powder! I always keep it in my collection and in rotation!

I love the finishing

I love the finishing veil. I was using all of bare mineral for the longest time but I did switch foundations for a better one but I still continue to use the mineral veil for my finish setting powder cause it really does gone on really good. I think it makes my pores less noticeable and it just makes my all finish look perfect. So even if you don't like the foundation in this you must try the mineral veil a least to try for yourself. And you can get different sizes so if price is an issues you can get the smaller on trust me a little goes along way

The packaging is excellent

The packaging is excellent – small, handy, lightweight. The jar has two compartments. Lower compartment contains the powder, which can be sifted to the upper compartment by shaking the jar. A plastic plug is provided to prevent any extra spillage. So, when you need more powder, simply remove the plug and shake the jar. This little feature makes the usage much less messy even while travelling. You can simply toss the jar into your handbag, without any worries.

The powder itself is very finely milled, lightweight and soft. It disappears on the skin and reduces the visibility of pores and fine lines. Very little product is required for the whole face and even if you end up being a little heavy handed, it doesn't look cakey. It has no shimmer, and therefore, ideal for daily use. It prolongs the staying power of the makeup underneath and also controls shine. Since my skin is extremely oily, it get's shiny within 3 hours of powdering during summers. In winters, however, it keeps the oil in check for around 5 hours easily. I also use it during my evenings out where it does an excellent job of holding my makeup in place and photographs turn out beautifully. sometimes just dust the mineral veil all over my face without applying any makeup underneath, if I am in a hurry. It keeps my face looking fresh. The product has no fragrance and the company claims it to be free of: –Parabens.

– Sulfates.

– Synthetic Fragrances.

– Synthetic Dyes.

– Petrochemicals.

– Phthalates.

This is a huge plus point for me. It has never broken me out although I have an acne-prone skin.

Summing up the pros and the cons: Pros of Bare Minerals Mineral Veil:

Simple yet extremely convenient packaging, which makes it comparatively less messy than the other loose powders.

Free of a whole load of chemical junk and preservatives usually found in most of our cosmetic products.

No fragrance.

Reduces the appearance of fine lines and large pores.

Controls shine and keeps the makeup fresh for a longer period of time.

Doesn't look cakey.

Reasonable price.

Has not caused any breakouts.

I love Bare Minerals

I love Bare Minerals products, their quality and how easy it's apply and blend on the face bareMinerals Mineral Veil Finishing Powder SPF 25 ! They should bring back on their website some of their good quality products : like bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie™ Lipstick and also make their lipsticks more stable in tube (in Mineralist line it's unstable at all even you're not press on it!) and more long lasting color on lips – Bareminerals Mineralist Hydra-Smoothing Lipstick - Creativity and other from this line.

MI really like this

MI really like this mineral veil to set my makeup for the day. It adds a very very slight sheen and is great when you need to freshen up your makeup after going from day to night. Would definitely recommend as part of your makeup routine! I apply very sparingly with a large round powder brush here and there, as needed. I absolutely love that it's Noncomedogenic, I seem to need this as an adult, AGAIN. I truly am very impressed with this and hope to buy a full size if I can't ever find them.[product:bare-escentuals-mineral-veil-finishing-powder-9g-full-size-original-9g/003-oz]

Awesome Makeup line

I have been buying bareminerals since 2008 I have very dry skin and rosea since this makeup of all natural ingredients it helped both my dry skin and cleared up my roses. Leslie has done amazing things with her line and always has amazing holiday sets plus the brushes can be washed I still have some of the very first ones I bought and are still in good condition. If you have dry skin or are older like me prime time is a must. If bareminerals had sales reps I would've been one since 2008 I completely believe in this line of cosmetics

Good for tan-colored skin

I was skeptical about using since it's kind of a "one size fits all" type. I'm very glad this one is tinted. It works well for me. I've been doing a lot of outside activity and while using my same bare minerals foundation powder I can still wear it without the color looking off. I add Warmth as a bronzer around my face and finish with tinted mineral veil. Works for me without over drying and looking unnatural.

I tried well rested and it was very chalky on me.

I will continue to use and purchase again.

I've been on a powder...

I've been on a powder hiatus for quite a while, since I get self conscious, thinking that it will call attention to my fine lines. And then I remembered how I used to use this and absolutely loved it. I will be picking some up soon, since it's so finely milled and keeps my summer shine at bay. I'm probably dating myself saying this, but do you remember the Barbara Walters Special , where Barbara always had this incandescent lighting whenever she interviewed her guests? Well this is exactly like that-it's a soft focus for your face.

Absolutely Amazing

Bought the mini on a whim because of the reviews and for the first time in a long time, I was NOT let down! This stuff wowed me. The oil control is phenomenal and it's slightly tinted so my medium tan skin doesn't end up with a white cast. Love it so much (blows laura mercier's finishing powder out of the water) and is fairly affordable, so I bought the full size. my only request is that I wish it came in a bigger package with more product. I use quite a bit of this stuff and wish i could buy more at once.

Best powder for 15 years

I have been using this since I first discovered it about 15 years ago on an "infomercial" I still can't find anything that totally beats the mineral veil. Nothing else can minimize my pores on my cheeks without making my face look powdery and cakey. The veil leaves a smooth finish and is lightweight/breathable. I am not much of a "baker" I usually use this as an all over powder/finishing powder, however when I really want more coverage I will use to bake under my eyes and it always turns out smooth and doesn't settle into my eye creases. the only Con I have is that I wish it had a larger size option.

A happy accident!

I bought this Hydrating Mineral Veil by accident - it's been years since I refreshed mine, and I mistook this for the original, Illuminating Mineral Veil. Since I have both now I've been comparing them and I have to say, although I was turned off by the color at first, on my face this is hands down the winner. It sets my makeup without emphasizing any of the dry patches on my (mature) skin and provides the natural, matte finish I like, while on the other hand I feel the illuminating mineral veil emphasizes my fine lines more than I'd like.

I have used...

I have used bareMinerals Mineral Veil for years and while I don't use it as frequently as I used to it still holds a place in my makeup bag. This powder is a perfect finishing powder. It's lightweight, finely milled and never leaves me ashy or overly dry looking. It is comparable in cost to other prestige finishing powders but I find that this has a few advantages over other options. First, it comes in several versions including Tinted (perfect for adding just that last little bit of coverage on a blemish), Illuminating (perfect for imparting a candlelit glow to your skin without looking overly shiny) and Original (a typical finishing powder). Second, it is a loose powder with a twist top to keep it from spilling out everywhere which means I can travel with it without worrying about it breaking like a compact, or spilling out like an unprotected powder. Finally, it seems to work on my skin no matter it's condition. Dry, oily, or broken out, this powder just seems to work. I would recommend this for all skin types without hesitation. 

My Holy Grail Finishing Powder

Bare Minerals Mineral Veil has been part of my makeup routine for almost 20 years! I love the velvety soft finish this provides. It goes on easily and a little goes a long way! I have oily skin with large pores and this product helps keep oil to a minimum and hides my pores. It has a wonderful blurring effect. I do use a setting powder and setting spray before applying this as my last step. The mineral veil creates such a beautiful, soft and polished look. If you have never tried it, you should!

There are very few...

There are very few products which truly give the skin that luminous halo-type glow. This is one of them. The first time I used it (in conjunction with the mineral makeup), I was blown away at how perfectly it smoothed over the makeup and added a dewy, yet soft and matte finish to my face. I actually have used this stuff with other brands of mineral makeup to accomplish the same result. Highly recommend this stuff. Will always have some in my makeup bag, since it's difficult to find a competing product that accomplishes the same soft/luminescent result.

This is a nice powder...

This is a nice powder foundation. I really like the fact that it is a mineral product and something that would be more natural. This is great for setting makeup but also good if you just want some light coverage for your face. Overall a great product but if you have problem skin, this may not be the best choice and the powder can settle on those problem areas. Also, if you have large pores this powder may not be the best thing but with a primer, it may work. Generally speaking though, this is a great choice for setting powder.

10 Stars IF you can get the non-orange one!

I have used the original mineral veil for years and loved it! However, a few months ago when I purchased a new one, I noticed the color was off when compared to the bit I had left in my old container. I didn't think much of it and used it. It did not work the same though! Much more gritty, color wasn't right on my skin, and it didn't give me the matte finish I like for more than a few hours, if that! I used most of the container anyway, but looked into alternative brands for my next purchase. I came on to this site to check the reviews and noticed that someone said they were able to get the original one again (in the correct coloring!), so I took my old one into the store and compared it to a new, and sure enough it's back! Works PERFECT just like the original without the orange hue. PLEASE don't change a thing. I hope it was just a bad batch, as I have heard this, but also that they changed the formula which I hope is not true. Don't change a thing!!!!! I hope the non-orange original is back to stay!!!

Love it

Got this in mail yesterday, wore this & my other new makeup last night to work. I got many compliments! I purchased the mineral veil illuminating powder. It's not orange, pink or any color. I will say it did make me look somewhat pale In certain lights but I'm still learning makeup & im thinking maybe I applied too much. It def helped my pores & fine lines which was my goal turning 40. My face felt good & clean. I worked 16 hours straight, physical labor, hot & sweaty & my makeup never ran or became oily which is what I hated about my old makeup. My face never became grimy or gross! Still playing around with it but I'll post pics later. I would like to see more sparkle in it:) It was a toss up between this & It cosmetics finishing powder. After trying both, this was the best pick!
