Bare Minerals - Tinted Mineral Veil

I don't wear any foundation or powder on my face (moisterizer only) & lately my skin is SOOO oily. I see the mineral veil is suppose to help absorb it.

Does anyone just use the mineral veil without foundation?? I hate foundation & just trying to do something different yet simple to help my skin...

Re: Bare Minerals - Tinted Mineral Veil

You can but it won't give you much coverage at all.
It will bascially just absorb some oil.
I tried the tinted mineral veil and it was way too dark over my foundation.
But if you aren't going to wear foundation it might be ok.

Have you tried the Bare Minerals foundation though? If you are a foundation hater you might like it- it is not like regular foundation at all....so light- feels like there is nothing on your skin- not cakey, no lines of demarcation etc...

This might sound silly but I am not really looking for coverage, just more or less a "finished" look that absorbs the oil I am producing on my face...I have not tried any of BM's makeup. It is not that I am not a foundation person, I am not into a ton of makeup. I am simple when it comes to what I wear:
eye shadow
eye liner
mascara
lip gloss

In that case the BM foundation might be good for you.. it's quick, easy, absorbs oil well and you never look made up or over done with it on.. it kind of does what you said you want- gives a finished look.
You can just brush some on and go... might work a bit better than just the mineral veil for the same amount of effort...

Re: Bare Minerals - Tinted Mineral Veil

I would try based on what you said, the BM foundation, not the mineral veil.

Re: Bare Minerals - Tinted Mineral Veil

I love the BM collection, I started using it about 6 months ago and it's not like not wearing anything at all. I'm not a fan of foundation, i never wore it, i hated the feeling of it. This was a much better choice for me, i was also looking for that "finished" look as well.
