    Love the Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil (and most if not all of their other products). I use it almost daily, it is a nice finishing powder and it makes the makeup looks much better (settled, but in a good way). I have tried quite a few finishing powders and this is one of my favorites.

    A jar costs about ~ $25 and will last you for a few months, but they have extra large jars which makes it even cheaper.

    If you haven't given it a try yet, and you use finishing powders, I suggest you try it.

    I love this powder! For about $25.00 you get 0.3oz of powder - which honestly lasts me about 6 months. I use it as a light dusting on my face with a kabuki brush, add blush and mascara and am good to go. It helps combat shine and you can get a version that is shimmery or with SPF as well. It's so lightweight, does not affect your skin in a negative way at ALL and it absolutely easy to apply. Its very light coverage and can be used as a setting powder as well. I tend to use it on its own or over a primer/SPF that I have.

    I really love it!

    If you have redness or facial flaws that you need to hide ID Bare Minerals Clear Radiance is the answer. Especially effective for hiding broken capillaries or brown spots. Sweeping this powder over your cheeks or where you need to hide imperfections you will be pleasantly surprised to see a flawless face!

    I've been using this mineral veil for about 2 years and I really like it. It does set my make up and I don't have to reapply throughout the day (I have oliy skin). A little goes a long way, so a container can last a couple months. Well worth it when you think about it.

    this powder isn't really all that special -- the company doesn't specify exactly what it's meant for, but i've heard of people using it as a setting powder, a touch up powder, a highlighter, or a setting powder for their concealer, etc. it gives the skin an unappealing whitecast, and doesn't do anything to eliminate shine. not a huge fan primarily because i find no purpose for it especially at $20 a pop. #disappointed.

    this is just an average bronzer for me. i admit the color is nice but it could be easily duped. the only reason i would purchase this over another bronzer is because it is mineral -- and therefore better for your skin. otherwise, not worth it.

    This warmth product works. Just a caution...a little goes a long way. Be careful when applying this. Just put a tiny bit on your brush and then brush some off before applying it. That way you can build up the colour you're looking for. Also makes the product last forever!

    This product was in the radiant and refreshed kit from sephora and I don't think you can actually buy this separately; however, if I could I would! I don't need a lot of coverage so this is perfect. I use this over Laura mercier foundation primer and it stays all day.

    This product gets 5 stars across the board for me, I've had it for YEARS. I'm almost positive I got it in a starter kit I got from them in middle school, but you don't need much at all to get the desired look. I used it to contour, and on a big fluffy brush to add some color to my fair skin. I love it. It's matte, not junked up with glitter. It's a brown, not an orange shade either. It looks natural and works amazing. At $19 for a full size it is pricey, but when you think of how much you get- it's amazing. I have the size that you get in the start kit, and I've barely made a dent in it. If you like a natural bronze, a truly sun-kissed look- THIS IS FOR YOU! :)

    I was a bit skeptical about 'Warmth' when I saw the color of the powder. I received it as part of the Bare Escentuals starter kit and was hesitant to use it. 'Warmth' is a dark burgundy powder, but don't let this fool you. It is said to give you a sun-kissed glow, and it does when used sparingly. You must do the swirl and tap method recommended by Bare Escentuals. If you have too much product on your brush, you will look like a clown. That said, if you have a little bit of 'warmth' on your brush and you dust the apples of your cheeks as well as your forehead, nose and chin (where the sun would hit you), then you will have a nice color to your skin. There is nothing worse than the look of mono-tone skin. Warmth gives you a healthy and natural glow that lasts all day.
