bareMinerals Original Mineral Veil Pressed Setting Powder Sheer Medium

I received this product for free from Influenster and Bare Minerals in exchange for my honest review. 💭 Thank you!🥰 This is a translucent setting powder that sets makeup in place and extends its wear time. It truly does blur imperfections- it is almost like an instant blurring “filter” after applying this 😍 As someone with combination skin, this works great on oily and dry skin. It keeps my t-zone oils at bay while also not drying out my dry patches around my mouth and cheeks (thanks to the cacao+shea butters and vitamin E). 🥝🧴 This product is non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores), vegan, talc free (a potential carcinogen), and hypoallogenic. 🌱 Oh… and did I mention it comes as a compact with a mirror and a puff applicator? This really is a hidden gem- not only ... MoreI received this product for free from Influenster and Bare Minerals in exchange for my honest review. 💭 Thank you!🥰 This is a translucent setting powder that sets makeup in place and extends its wear time.

It’s been nearly half a lifetime since I’ve used a bareMinerals product, so I was quite excited to see how they perform today. I was happy to get the translucent mineral veil, because I feel like I can just top it over sunscreen or my tinted moisturizer which is often all I wear! It’s such a great product to have since it’s a setting powder to help finish your look and lock 🔒 your makeup in place. I think this will be great for taking on the go doing any touch-ups such as areas on my T-Zone that can sometimes get a bit oily. This is the brand new version of this product, as bareMinerals has reformulated its ingredients. It doesn’t contain any Talc- thank you!! 👏🏼 There is no added synthetic fragrance either!

This is the brand new version of this product, as bareMinerals has reformulated its ingredients. It doesn’t contain any Talc- thank you!! 👏🏼 There is no added synthetic fragrance either! But they have added some clean, skin nourishing ingredients including: shea butter, vitamin E, cocoa butter. I do feel that this does blur the look of slight imperfections and my pore size. It’s actually been shown to reduce the appearance of your pore size over time, so I’m excited to see how that turns out with further usage. I have been applying the pressed powder with a brush, as I find it best for all over application/coverage. I think the ‘puff’ included with the compact would be fine for touch-ups on the go though. The only thing you have to be careful of is to not apply too much of the powder, because it can leave a bit of a white cast being that the powder is a white/translucent color. I found that it did actually change the color of my makeup, so I had to tone down how much I was using. Overall it’s a great product, and I’m happy to be a returning user to bareMinerals!

Another problematic powder case

I have been on a never-ending, continuously unsuccessful search for a powder compact that is a complete product. I want my powder applicator to be part of the product, preferably a flat brush. This one does have a powder pat/sponge/do-dad. However, the back of the compact has holes in it. Thus, the powder residue will escape the compact - into my handbag or travel case. Why, oh why make it this way?! It is easy enough to shake out excess powder from an applicator cavity. I will probably tape up the back of it so I can use it. I can't speak to the quality of the powder as the case irritation has deterred me from using it.

Great Lightweight Pressed Pwdr!

My absolute favorite pressed powder was the BM BarePro Skin Perfecting Veil - (light weight perfect light coverage - different than the current BM 16-hr BarePro foundation). Since the skin perfecting veil has been discontinued , the pressed mineral veil is truly a “good enough” replacement. I do not feel it leaves as seemless a finish as the BarePro veil, but I do still like the pressed mineral veil and appreciate that BM continues to carry a pressed powder version. I feel the pressed version goes on lighter than the loose powder mineral veil and I have more control over the application. It leaves a fairly smooth finish without feeling heavy and “over made up”. I am more of a natural make-up girl and am not looking to have makeup settle in my fine lines - this ... MoreMy absolute favorite pressed powder was the BM BarePro Skin Perfecting Veil - (light weight perfect light coverage - different than the current BM 16-hr BarePro foundation).

Great product: powder case + mirror + puff

Really nice texture for a pressed powder. It does not leave skin feeling dry, powdery, or cakey, even though it mattifies very well.When I unboxed the product, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the powder case lifts up to show a powder puff, and it includes also a mirror. I can see that that is displayed in one of the pictures, but not enough.This product clearly has been designed with customers in mind. I really like it!

Nice finish!

I’m sensitive to bismuth oxychloride, which is an ingredient in the loose mineral veil powder, and was so excited to find this pressed powder version! This version doesn’t contain that ingredient and works great with my sensitive skin. I love using this powder over the 16-Hour Skin Perfecting Pressed Powder Foundation and Original Concealer. It’s beautiful and also controls shine! I love that it comes in different shades. I use sheer medium over medium 35 neutral pressed powder foundation.

Sheer&Not Cakey!

Very lightweight, Sheer, and Sets Your MakeUp Well Without Settling In Creases, or Fine Lines. A little Goes A Long Way. I am the shade "sheer deep," and when i seen it in person it was much lighter then it looked online....... HOWEVER, it still matched well, and did an amazing job setting my makeup, since it is the last step of my makeup before applying setting spray. Ive bever used anyyhjng from Bare Minerals Before, But Im SOLD on this lightweight product. FYI i am a caramel shade WOC, ans "sheer deep" was a good match for me. Although, I am shocked that was the darkest shade they had, because it's definitely more people darker then me. DIVERSITY is always needed & appreciated!

THIS STUFF IS INCREDIBLE; A THOROUGH REVIEW

Okay, so I will preface this review by saying that I'm 27, and have had oily skin my WHOLE life. I started wearing makeup since about 16 years old so about 11 years of experience with face powders and trying to find the perfect one. I've come to understand that people with oily skin usually tend to have larger pores. So, with that said it's been hard to find a powder to tackle both issues let alone tackle the issue of oiliness. I've tried SOOO many brands (usually loose powders so that I can bake) and NOTHING and NO AMOUNT of baking has been able to keep me oil free for more than couple hours. [for reference purposes, I've tried loose and pressed powders from Juvia's Place, Loreal, Coty Airspun, Hourglass, Too Faced, Kimchi Chic, Physician's Formula, Ciate, Laura ... MoreOkay, so I will preface this review by saying that I'm 27, and have had oily skin my WHOLE life.

[for reference purposes, I've tried loose and pressed powders from Juvia's Place, Loreal, Coty Airspun, Hourglass, Too Faced, Kimchi Chic, Physician's Formula, Ciate, Laura Mercier, Makeup Forever, & Beauty Bakerie. So basically from inexpensive to expensive. ] I came across the powder on a whim, didn't even look up reviews before buying, nor the ingredients and OMG I was stunned to say the least. At first, I thought I was crazy that I was not even slightly oily. Where I live now, we are in the middle of summer. Summer + oily = no good. I even SLEPT in that same makeup, because usually my oily skin comes out full force after a nap for some reason. And when I woke up I have very little shine. I tried it again a second day, and it held up exactly the same as the day before. Another note to add here, I wear my makeup at work and I don't have an office job. I stock, break loads off of palettes, and walk all day for 8 hours. I wear makeup almost everyday for extended periods of time. So I have a lot of experience! My skin looks sooo flawless and oil free compared to my own routine. I never would have thought I would come across a powder that could do this for me. I thought my oily skin was just something I had to deal with and no amount of makeup could ever fix. I came to accept myself, but now I'm excited that I AM able to do my foundation routine in half and stay looking smooth!

This is the one!

I really loved this setting powder and found that it was really effective, as the name suggests, at setting my makeup. But it’s definitely a multitasker that went beyond being just a setting powder and and it performed beyond my expectations. I don’t have overly oily skin but in the summer I always have a bit more and this powder has been great for keeping that at bay. The best thing about this powder is probably the blurring effect and how long it lasts without needing to be reapplied. It definitely helped to reduce the look of my fine lines and pores which is always a plus. It’s super light and finely milled so it felt weightless and so smoothing. I really appreciate the fact that it doesn’t feel at all like I’ve added another layer to my face, especially in the ... MoreI really loved this setting powder and found that it was really effective, as the name suggests, at setting my makeup.

I really appreciate the fact that it doesn’t feel at all like I’ve added another layer to my face, especially in the summer when I basically want to look and feel like I’m not wearing any makeup but still enjoy the benefits of wearing makeup that performs really well. I didn’t get any sort of white cast with this and that’s a specific issue I’ve had with a couple other popular setting powders that I purchased at the beginning of the summer. I wish I had just gone with this one at the time because none of the others worked exactly how I wanted them to. The bareMinerals Mineral Veil Setting Powder did even more than I was expecting. I was really very impressed and can say for sure that I’ve finally found the setting powder that I was searching for.

Worth it!

I was hesitant because of the price, but it is worth it in my opinion. I use a cream foundation mixed with a skin tint, and if I need it, full coverage concealer. This powder sets it in place wonderfully. My skin looks soft matte, almost airbrushed. It’s not shiny or greasy, even after a few hours of wear(mind you I’ve only tried this in winter, so i’m curious to see how it holds up with summer heat).I have normal skin, with acne problems. I’m quite pale, so I usually go for translucent powders just to be safe. This doesn’t lighten my foundation like other translucent powders I’ve tried, but again I have pale skin.I noticed there is no fallout in the pan when I use the applicator provided, a variety of brushes, or a sponge (very impressive!!!).I’ve even dropped ... MoreI was hesitant because of the price, but it is worth it in my opinion.

No cracks, no pan fallout, the lid stayed closed as well.While cheaper brands that I’ve used for years, like Elf or Cover Girl work just fine, but I can tell a quality difference in drugstore powders and this one.Worth every penny!
