Hi Liz!

I buff a good amount of it on in circular motions–but not in the amount I buff on my bareMinerals foundation. Think–apply more than a translucent powder, less than a foundation. Depending on the color you’re using, it should look pretty translucent on the skin, but it still gives it a finished and polished look on the skin due to it just being an awesome bareMinerals product (I hope that makes sense). That should be an indicator if you’ve missed an area–I can tell if I’ve missed a spot on my forehead in contrast to my cheeks or nose because the skin just doesn’t look as nice in the areas I may have missed! But honestly, I find it flows out very easily to the brush, and if you buff it over your skin a few times in small circular motions it should be sufficient. The cool thing is, you can go back and touch up since it’s so forgiving. I hope that helps!

Hi Amber, you seem to be the expert here, so could ypu tell me exactly how to apply Bare Minerals natural sunscreen. I just don’t know how much I am applying and if I should rub it in or just fluff it on. Any advice welcome

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!

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!

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!

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.

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

This packaging is similar to the Mineral Veil on the Go, which was a Sephora exclusive. I love this brush, so I know I’m going to like the sunscreen as well.

What I go to get my MVOTG working (which should work with this brush too) is tap it on the back of my hand until I see a small ‘cloud’ of powder so I know it’s in there. You could also tap it on a tissue if you don’t want to use your hand.

Amber- the way you recommend to apply sunscreen is what I’ve always heard also.

Hey Audrey!

I would use this specific sunscreen on top of everything since it’s in a powder form. If you were using a liquid sunscreen, I would apply it over your serum/moisturizer and under your foundation. Hope that helps!

I was wondering if you can give me some advice, please? Since it’s a physical sunscreen, do I: 1)Serum 2) Moisturize 3) Foundation… and then put this powder on top? And would a Chemical sunscreen be put on before moisturizer. This is what I’ve heard in the past?
