bareMinerals Mineral Veil is Bare Escentuals's best selling product. It has been featured on the Oprah Winfrey
show as a product that is used on Oprah by her makeup artist everyday. Many women who do not use Bare Minerals Foundation use Mineral Veil - either alone with no foundation or with a liquid foundation or with another brand of minerals.
In addition to the minerals, it also contains cornstarch and does a great job of providing a perfect finish to your foundation. It is completely sheer and softens your look and makeup, minimizing the look of lines and pores.
Some Bare Minerals Foundation users with oilier skin and/or enlarged pores will use a "sandwich" of Mineral Veil - before and after their mineral foundation. This makes pores appear smaller and controls oil.
Bare Minerals Tinted Mineral Veil
Tinted Mineral Veil has a slight tint and imparts a hint of color. It is a favorite among Medium to Dark skin tones,
because the original mineral veil can leave them looking a bit "washed out".
I was so thrilled when tinted mineral veil was introduced, before I always had
to add an All Over Face Color,
because the original left my face too light. Lighter skin tones can use it very sparingly for a sheer wash of color.
You can mix your own tinted mineral veil by adding a touch of
Warmth to regular Mineral
Veil.
Feather Light Mineral Veil
Feather Light Mineral Veil is my favorite. It is much lighter than the original and is very, very sheer with a slight luminous finish.
Tinted Feather Light Mineral Veil
There was a tinted feather light mineral veil in a kit a while back, but it has not been sold on its own yet. I haven't heard anything about it recently - we can hope - I am anxious to try it.
Hydrating Mineral Veil
The newest formula is Hydrating Mineral Veil. Obviously there was a big demand for it, as it sold out completely when it was introduced. It is back in stock now and is getting rave reviews. It is ideal for drier skin types and those you found their bare minerals makeup to be drying to their skin. It contains rice lipids, shea butter, glycerin, ceramacydes, and hyaluronic acid to provide moisture and like all of the other formulas it also contains corn starch to absorb oil.
Do you need Mineral Veil? If you are using Mineral Foundation I would definitely recommend using it to set and soften your look and it keeps your minerals in place all day.
