We have to wear sunscreen! It’s not like it used to be, remember when we had no choices except for that streaky white thick mess that smelled awful? No wonder we’ve strayed away from doing the right thing. With so many new formulations on the market it’s entirely possible to help protect our faces against premature aging, skin cancer, and sun damage without being miserable.
I’m such a fan of mineral sunscreens because they offer immediate and convenient protection and are so easy to apply. One of my faves is the Instant Mineral SPF 30 from PTR, but I have to say that I have a new favorite! Bare Minerals just released their SPF 30 Natural Sunscreen and it’s AMAZING! The shaker-style brush makes it so easy to distribute the powder and it’s simple to use. It flows through evenly and I don’t have to shake it every other stroke to get it to come out. It’s a physical sunscreen, so you’re less likely to break out from it and offers both UVA and UVB protection.
In 3 colors, it won’t leave a grey cast on your skin and I love that the brush is big enough to use on my body too. Oil free, chemical free, and preservative free– in a word, awesome. I use the light color on top of my makeup or alone and there are no tell-tell signs of sunscreen left behind. Reapplication throughout the day is a breeze, I can tuck this in my bag and take it to-go. For $28, this is worth it’s weight in gold I tell you!
Hey Sharon!
If you love Mineral Veil On The Go, you’re going to freak when you find out what else Bare Escentuals has coming!!! Not sure if I can speak about it yet

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone knew how dark the medium tone is in this sunscreen. I have naturally yellow toned skin in what I would estimate to be medium for a white person but I have bought ‘medium’ products in the past that have been too dark for my skin tone, while others are perfect.
I can’t test it out in the store because I’m from England and can only get it online, so if anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it.
If it’s of any help to anyone I use Laura Mercier’s mineral foundation in ‘Natural Beige,’ and I wouldn’t want to go any darker than that, unless of course the pale shade is like a porcelain or something.
Thanks.
Lizzie.
Hi Lizzie! Good question
This is a toughie. I can’t really tell you which one to buy for sure because I would have to see ya. But if you are on the more fair side of medium you may opt for the light because it’s a golden tone… the medium in this sunscreen is a cool tone. But I’m not sure to be 110% honest hun! While it does give a little bit of coverage (very minimal) it’s also pretty sheer so you may *fingers crossed* be able to pull it off. Hope I didn’t confuse you more!

I use the Bare Mineral products including the Mineral Veil, but have never heard about the Mineral Veil on the Go. What is it? Thanks!
Hey Petal
MV on the go is basically the same style shaker brush that’s already pre-filled with your Mineral Veil and you can twist it, cap it, and stick it in your bag
It was a Sephora exclusive I believe, I’m not sure if it’s still available. I have a feeling it will be back!
