I do, but I prefer bareMinerals foundation.

I have not used it with other foundations on a regular basis, but I did use it with several liquid foundation samples, and it worked well. Went back to BE foundation, however.

YES Of course! Thats the only way I use it! I put on my liquid foundation, and then dust on the mineral veil. It stays put all day, keeps my foundation in place and avoids my skin from getting shiny.

It's a great addition to foundation or by itself!

Use this on top of ANY foundation! For those who have more oily skin like mine, they say it's best to apply before foundation too better hold back the shine.

I use this after I have applied my Bare Minerals foundation. And the times I use a liquid foundation I also use this as a finishing powder.

You can definitely use this on top of any foundation. I do!

Sure, but as with any bronzer use a light hand; or try bareMinerals warmth.

Not dark enough for a bronzer.

Mineral veil is a sheer finishing powder, not a bronzer. Apply it after the foundation, bronzer, &/or blush.

Mineral Veil is not a bronzer and has no color. It is sheer. The B. E. product you would want that gives a bronze color is called Warmth. You would then seal Warmth with your Mineral Veil. Mineral Veil will offer sheer protection for your makeup and will add SPF to protect your skin.

I use the tinted mineral veil for a bronzer on my fair skin, and it is the best I've ever used - very natural.

Yes

Of course you can! I use it as a setting powder and a bronzer :)

Clinique is a wonderful product, and my "older aunt" with beautiful skin as used their products for years. However, she has switched to BE and MV facial make up and prefers them. Still uses Clinique skincare line, however.

i prefer the mineral veil, i have such a glow after i apply it.

I'd try Clinique. I do not like the mineral veil.

The mineral veil is not intended for coverage (BE sells separate mineral foundations and multi-tasking face powders that are great for coverage). Think of this product as a lightweight, translucent finishing powder.

If you are wanting to use this for coverage, I do not recommend it because it is pretty sheer. Its more for people who want sunblock without the icky greasy feeling and a touch of pore coverage.

I haven't used clinque for a while but I would definitely recommend this powder. It has great coverage yet is light feeling. I've also been so amazed at how long the container lasts. Go for the sheer shade unless you are very tan. Great buy!

The last ones I have purchased did, and I don't particularly like these containers.

I recently (February 2011) ordered both a new foundation and Mineral Veil, and the foundation (the fairly light color) had the click lock, but the Mineral Veil (I got the SPF 25 variety) did not.

They are starting to put the click top on all their products. Not sure which ones have it currently. Keeps the powders from spilling all over when traveling or if you put it in your purse.

Most of them do. I purchased 1 from QVC that didn't but the rest have the small tab that clicks. One of the clicks has broken already :(

I bought an Original Mineral Veil just a few weeks ago, and it did not have the Click-Lock cap. I've found a trick that helps on the mineral veil, which has a tendency to go everywhere. When you first get a new one, instead of peeling the sticker off, poke out a few of the holes with a pin. This way, not all the holes are open, and there is less chance of a powder explosion. I wish they'd put the click-lock cap on everything, including eye-shadows, but for now, that trick helps a lot.

The mineral veil does not have the click, lock and go top. I believe all the new foundations do have this top. I am not 100% sure but pretty certain.

yes, and without chemicals. bareMinerals SPF 25 Mineral Veil uses titanium and zinc oxides, which are physical barriers.

I can tell you that this product was highly recommended by my doctor and his nurses. I am using a product to remove my age spots and wrinkles (without surgery), so I must fully protect my skin. This is the line of products that the nurses in the office use. P.S. My doctor has been one of "America's Best Doctors" since the '90s.

No it doesn't I've finally found the answer. This does not have Zinc Oxide which covers UVA2 rays which are more damaging and tanning. Titanium Oxide which this product has only covers UVA1 rays. I need something that prevents age spots or redarkening of acne and age spots and without Zinc Oxide this product does not fully cover.

Yes, it has spf 25

It sure does! Yet another reason I love these products.

What ingredient provides UVA protection? The only physical UVA protectant is Zinc Oxide. And this page nor does Bare Mineral's site lists Zinc Oxide as an ingredient. Some packaging lists it some doesn't. Does anyone know the real answer?

I haven't noticed any that I have any oil with the use of this product. However, I have normal to dry skin. Get a sample and try it.

Yes

yes

Yes, just like a powder, but not talc-y.

Yes! I have acne problems, and literally since switching from liquid foundation to the bare minerals, I've had much less breaking out.

Yes I belive it is. I have oily skin and this is my favorite powder.

has more titanium dioxide. I am 47 and use it religiously.

I haven't noticed any differences in regard to use and application.

It has a little more of the natural sun screen in it. Higher dose.

The SPF 25 is darker in color and also heavier on the skin than the original mineral veil. It's a little closer to the foundation with texture and coverage, I think. I didn't like it for my skin and coloring - it settles into my pores and instead of giving me that ethereal glow that the OG MV does, it looked really cakey and darkened on my skin as the day went on. The OG MV is just gorgeous and very light! I'm going back to the original!

I don't think the original tinted mineral veil had SPF... only the foundations did.

The tinted one (with "warmth" or whatever it's called) has kind of a little bronze-y tone to it, like you've gotten a little sun. It works well, too, I just am not a fan of bronzer (or really blush either for that matter), but it is good quality and looks more natural than just a bronzer. Makes you look like you've been on vacation but not like you're overly trying to say "hey, I got a tan guys!" lol. I have it as well as the original mineral veil, and I use it occasionally, just on the apples of my cheeks (makes your face look slimmer).

I use the tinted mineral veil when I'm tan. It looks more natural. If I'm in fall or winter seasons I stick with the origional mineral veil. The tinted version is a little more brown/tan compared to the peachy/pink of the origional. If I'm running low on the tinted one during peak summer I just add a little sheer radiance in a bronze color. (it has a little shimmer to it where tinted mineral veil doesn't). Hope this helps.

Original is sheer and almost colorless. The tinted ones have a bit of color. I use the sheer one first, and use warmth as a bronzer. If your complexion needs more color, go for the one with color. If not, the sheer one is gorgeous and natural looking.

The color in the tinted MV was a deal breaker for me, just didn't go with my rather odd skin, very fair with serious olive undertones. Ask for a sample at Sephora, and they will gladly give you some to try. You can also return a used product, but I think that is not a good idea when samples are happily given to customers at Sephora.

There is more color to this version and added protection from sun.

must purchase. do not buy the bare minerals one. Too Faced kabuki brush is MUCH better.

Sometimes there is a special offer or package that has the brush. Usually, it has to be purchased. The brush is extremely important to the success of this product. Buy the best "kabuki" style that you can afford. The ones BE offers are excellent as are the ones by Sephora.

Mineral Veil does not come with a brush. Some of the kits that contain various products come with brushes. I think the starter set comes with the brushes you need.

Have to buy one, I love the kabuki one

You must purchase brush

not good for evening out skin tone when used alone, but good for cutting down on shine.

My daughter, who has wonderful skin, sometimes uses this product alone. It gives a beautiful, sheer coverage. I need more coverage than Mineral Veil, alone.

With this product you can build the amount of coverage you want. You can go from light (like a tinted moisturizer) to heavy (like full-on liquid/cream) - with the amount you apply. It is excellent for a light dusting in the summer months. Particularly if you live some place with the high heat and high humidity.

Get the tinted one for a sheer cover with a touch of color.

Yes, I often use it with just a little concealer.
