reviews I dislike the Maybelline brand mineral makeup. It made my skin greasy and very shiny and I have normal complexion. My sister started to break out and went to her dermatologist. She discovered that the chemicals in the store bought brand was the cause. Yes even natural is chemical, everything has chemical properties just some are better than others eg. nature vs. man made. It comes off consistently as if theres no end in sight. The colors are alittle better then some of the other brands eg. Bare Essentials Bare Minerals. The colors are too yellow or too pink for minorities or women of mixed race. Its Maybelline mineral makeup: that reads (first listed ingriedent) is GLASS if you pick the transulcent. Finale thought: I had received this from a friend who had purchased the wrong color. I told her I hated this stuff and throw it out of course so did my sister. Shes going back to Estee Lauder and doesn't like any mineral makeup out in the market. She says the spray air makeup like in the commericals is the hot item not mineral anymore.

Hopefully you don't have very pale, olive, mixed race, or very dark skin, or else you will be disappointed.

I'm with McKchick - I wasn't too impressed with this product. After putting on concealer, foundation, and blush, this finshing veil felt very heavy. I generally wear all the above on a daily basis but I wouldn't add this product to my regime. I went with "light" and the colouring was too light compared to all the similar shade makeup in the line. I also didn't like the sponge applicator - too much product dispensed so hard to control how much you want to use.

reviews I really wasn't crazy about this powder. I found that it goes on much thicker than most pressed powders. As a finishing touch over foundation it was WAY too much, making my face look cakey and make-upy. On its own it was ok, somewhere between a regular powder and a foundation, which could be good if that's what you're looking for I guess. I probably won't use much of this product and won't buy it again. [ back to top ] This review is the subjective opinion of a ChickAdvisor member and not of ChickAdvisor Inc.
When it first arrived, I wasn't sure about an item called a "veil" but it really is amazing! I used it with the foundation and the blush and I found that it really set well, looked natural and I didn't have the mid-day shine I often get on my nose!

reviews I definitely enjoyed using the Finish Veil. Not only did it provide a matte finish, it actually lasted all day (I didn't have to touch up once). Mind you, I have dry/combination skin and you would think "cake face"... nope, the finish was very natural.

reviews I agree with Artist, this product works well in combination with Maybelline Powder Foundation. On it's own I felt that it gave me a matted non shiny look but that it did not last as long as other powder products I have used in the past. I was very impressed with the packaging as it is very compact, convenient and neat. I would use this product again but only if I were using it in combination with the other products.

I am a big fan of finishing powder as I think it lightly evens out my complexion while also taking care of any oil problems which can crop up in my T-zone. I chose the “light” shade and found it a bit whiter than I would normally use. By applying it lightly over top of the rest of my make-up I could achieve a more “flawless” look. It didn't feel heavy at all and had pretty good staying power. The packaging was really cool too – the bottom part slides out to reveal the sponge and mirror!

reviews I've never used a finishing veil before and was unsure about its effectiveness. I love the packaging! However, the sponge applied the product too heavily for me as well so I use my blush brush to sweep on a thin layer. I didn't see much difference before and after the finishing powder, but maybe I am not using enough, but I don't like too many layers of stuff on my face. I use it to set my foundation and blush and it seems to keep everything in place for the day. Not a bad product, but not something I would use all the time.

I ended up choosing the bronzer because I rarely ever do an entire make-up routine and I really didnt think I would use the finishing powder. This step was really probably the most disappointing in the whole line. First of all, they only had one shade of bronzer which should have tipped me off in the first place. It was really too dark and unnatural looking on my skin which is still moderately light from being inside the whole winter. I also found it to be WAY too thick when applied with the provided foam applicator. I even tried to use it VERY sparingly and it was still way too much. I found the rest of the line to be very light and seamless, and this step i think almost ruined the whole look. it was a LITTLE bit better with a brush, but I really dont know that I will be using it much unless I get a lot more tanned...

The Maybelline Mineral Power Finish Veil was so cute. I thought it was kind of fun applying this product. For this Finish Veil the shade I selected was Light.
