bareMinerals Mineral Veil Pressed Setting Powder
bareMinerals Original Mineral Veil pressed setting powder, for shine control on the go
This is the pressed, talc-free version of Original Mineral Veil. It sets makeup with a natural matte finish, and the compact fits in a purse or makeup bag with its puff for touch-ups. Reach for it if your forehead and T-zone need blotting during the day.
It sits alongside the rest of our bareMinerals setting powders and foundations.

How to use it
For an all-over set, swirl a brush into the powder to pick up a small amount, tap off the excess and sweep it lightly where you want it.
For touch-ups, press the included puff into the powder, then press and roll it onto skin. Use the edge of the puff under the eyes and around the nose, and blot through the day as shine returns.
