Wearing BE Mineral Veil over normal make up... Does the BE Mineral Veil work well over normal makeup?

I have worn it over regular make up and it's fine. Also, I only use Clinique shadows and liner and have no issue mixing Clinique with BE foundation, either. It should work either way.

I would wear this under your makeup. It's tinted so it may change your skin tone a bit. I highly recommend it, though it may change your makeup routine.

I use the foundation and then top it off with mineral veil. It isn't for coverage.

Mineral Veil is for a finishing touch...in my opinion. I use a medium foundation first, then lightly apply bronzer. The Mineral Veil adds a very nice finish on top of everything. I love these products. Have been using them for years. Good luck.

I use it daily, but at night. I feel like its a little too filmy to wear during the day/under makeup. I don't think it gives a lot of moisture, but rather balances out my skin.

I have a combination of dry/oily skin. This mineral makeup is fine as long as you moisturize before applying it. I haven't had any issues with it yet! :) Hope this helps!

In my experience, it will not completely cover a break out. But, it does a good job of helping conceal when used with bare minerals foundation. I love this product and use it regularly. This is some what odd, cause I have a blem on my chin next to my lip and applied this this morning and was happy with the result. I use a smaller brush to "push" it into where I want it when I have a blem. The brush that comes with it is remarkable. Good Luck.

I just bought all the BE and I am not totally satisfied. I will keep playing with the brushes and minerals. But I too have large pores and was horrified to see them look twice as big, when I tried to apply it myself. When I went to the BE store in Dallas this afternoon, they applied it. My pores didn't look big then, so I will keep trying.I thought about using a water mist spray to set in better. But if what others are saying about the staying power is true, I may be defeating the coverage.

Hey Girl,I am 61 and have used BE for at least 4 years...I love it!Yes, my pours are large, which has just happened in the last few months...OH MY! I think the important issue is the the moisturizer you use under your make up...it takes me longer to "GET" my face ready than to take :30 seconds to put on my BE. You can not depend on the BE to make your skin lovely but if you have a wonderful BASE MOISTURE that makes you feel good!Kathy BW

if you're a medium like Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Aniston yes you use this, if product is a bit light then you can sweep a mineral bronzer over face and fine. But any darker like the character Elena (Nina Doborv) of Vampire Diaries , then this is too light for your skin tone. It does allow for build-ability which is great for more or less coverage and for the price , go for it!, Thanks for asking, hope the answer helps u.

About a year ago when I started using mineral makeup, I did not buy Bare Minerals because of the bismuth oxychloride. I had a mild reaction to it, and I did not like the shiny, unnatural glow it gave my face. Now I use Afterglow Cosmetics (www.afterglowcosmetics.com) and silk powder makeup from Aubrey Organics (www.aubrey-organics.com, search: silk powder). They are amazing. Try them for yourself, and I think you'll feel better about what you are putting on your skin.

I wear under mineral makeup with no problems. It absorbs fast and isn't greasy. Makes skin feel hydrated but not greasy or oily.

I suggest using BE's primer called Prime Time. I just started using it over my moisturizer and spf and I find that it helps reduce the appearance of pores because the powder is being brushed over the primer instead of filling in the pores.

I do find that it does transfer, if by that you mean:against clothing, cell phones etc. I have a hard time finding foundations that truly do not transfer in that regard. I do not personally find that it slides off in humidity(it is currently scorching where I am right now). That may because I use L'Oreal's Mineral veil over top of this foundation-it helps the foundation stay put, covers fine lines and pores and gives my makeup a soft-focus effect. This is a very 'breathable' foundation and does not cause my skin to break out or feel heavy in the humidity.

Absolutely. I use Bare Minerals, the Matte formula and I it works amazingly. It gives me such a light weight and flawless finish. You can also use the other brushes for the mineral blush and eye shadow. Definitely would recommend!

That is a great question!! After I received it, I wondered the same thing. I used it over my regular makeup. For whatever reason, I have stopped using this. Probably because I am a mom to 3 little ones and a PE teacher. I wear makeup everyday-just haven't reached for this stuff in a while.

I just use the same or similar color as regular makeup I use. It worked for me. I have a light skin tone.
