When I first used the Mineral Veil, I thought that it was just okay. However, the more I used it, the more I liked it. Then, a couple of weeks later, I was at the grocery store and got carded. I had not been carded in over five years. It happened to me the next three times I went too. I am now hooked.

If you have acne prone skin, this is not the finishing product for you because it is 90% corn starch, and this is a huge NO NO for acne. Corn starch breeds bacteria, which causes inflamation-Acne. It's odd that BM would use corn starch, and bill themselves as "good for skin". Sheer miracle makes a great finishing powder that is matte, and consists of the mineral serecite, which is less aggravating to skin. Sheer Miracle also makes this amazing blush (in apricot)that reminds me of Mallys' blush, but is much better for your skin. The SM apricot blush alos does not contain bismuth oxide, which tends to settle in creases, and makes skin look older. SM's foundation lacks coverage of BM.
Another mineral based makeup line is Everyday minerals. This does come in several choices like semi-matte, matte etc. and does not contain bismuth oxide, but also lacks the coverage of BM. Also their finishing powder isnt that great, but the soft bronzer is a nice highlighter to shallow out those chubby cheeks.
Both SM and Everyday offer sample kits for free on their website. this is a great way to try different shades.
BM also DOES have talc in it, although it is labeled as Mica- this can be a problem for acne prone skin as well, or anyone allergic to talc/mica.

I saw this in an infomercial about 2 years ago, and I was really excited. I ordered it right away. When I used this product, I got lots of pimples. It was disgusting! I tried to give this product a benefit of the doubt, and I continued using it for a month. My skin got worse! I was really disappointed. Everybody's skin is different, and I just wish it worked for me as it did for everyone else.

I have used Bare Escentuals for over a year now and it is by far and large simply the best make-up I have ever used. I have Rosacea and Melasma and it does a wonderful job covering up my imperfections without feeling cakey or heavy. It is very light, beautiful, and awesome!
