    I have combination-to-oily skin, and I have to say, this helps. I touch up later in the day to take some of the oil out I do use it with the Bare Minerals foundation, though. I know it isn't...

    Ugh. This does not work well on my combo skin. I bought this to set my liquid foundations since the assistant at the Macys counter reassured me it would help control oil without clogging my pores...

    Complete and utter garbage. All this is, is a translucent powder filled with tiny particles of shimmer. If you believe that putting this over your already POWDER foundation will 'set' your makeup,...

    Didn't set my makeup well, did nothing for oil control, make my under eye look dry and cakey. Reject.

    I got this product as part of a set from Bare Escentuals, which also came with 3 brushes, a mineral foundation, a mineral blush, and bronzer. Peronsally I didn't like the foundation nor the...

    Love love love the stuff. I even finish with this when I use other foundations. I prefer the illumination mineral veil as it gives a bit of a youthul look to my over 40 dull skin.

    There are both positive and negative qualities to Bare Escentuals Sheer Mineral Veil. The translucent veil is good for fairer skin tones. As others have pointed out, you have to blend all over...

    This is my favorite of the Bare Minerals products. It gives you the perfect matte look and just makes your face look phenomenal. It's not drying, yet still matte. Don't worry about it looking...

    Well its not great. Considering how expensive it is i had hoped it would be a bit better, in all honesty the E.L.F Mineral Powder is better! After foundation i apply concealer to any blemishes and...

    I've been using BE products for over 5 years and I love using mineral veil over my bare minerals foundation. I can tap on a little halfway through the day to combat oil. If I'm having a great skin...

    To each his own. Personally, I detest Mineral Veil. It's like setting my foundation with sand. It's heavy, coarse, gritty, over-drying. Overall: awful. And the mineral foundation is just...

    This is my very favorite setting powder! Somehow this manages to lock in my makeup all day and I barely have to touch up. This stuff is seriously amazing! Plus it lasts forever - I'm still on the...

    I don't care for the Mineral Veil, it just doesn't do much for me. My skin is oily and for me, this makes it even more oily very quickly! I really like BM matte foundation and use that daily, but...

    So far I am really liking this. This is my first BE purchase and it does a good job at controlling oil (which says a lot because I am VERY oily) and the finish is beautiful. I agree with the other...

    This did nothing.. It is little too light for me to wear and on top of BE foundation (whick is matte already) this gives even more matte, un-natural look. Also it has corn starch in it, so I will...
