    I have super fair skin and have been looking for a powder that isn't too orange as many of the light mineral makeup is. This was perfect. I only use this on my eyes in tandem with the tinted moisturizer also by Organic Wear. It really is important to use the same brand because they're made to work together. This is so true with these. I've been using another mineral powder and this one is far superior with the moisturizer. It is actually translucent, too! It has very little pigmentation, but evens out the skin tone enough that you aren't blotchy and it's nice and smooth.

    I agree that the brush doesn't really work the way it was intended. Come to find out, it's actually supposed to be used a certain way. After watching an infomercial on mineral makeup, you're supposed to push the makeup down into the brush and then swirl the brush around your face like you're smoothing a painting. The powder coming from inside the brush is just inefficient. It clogs too easily unless you really pound on it and then you break the cap. Just poor design. Product itself is great!

    I found this powder to be effective at minimizing shine and creating a smooth finish. However, the packaging is awful. The brush provided is skimpy and not terribly soft. But worse than that, getting the powder out of the container is messy. I basically shake the powder onto a brush (I generally use my own), so powder flies everywhere, and lands on my hair and all over my bathroom. An oldfashioned pot of powder would be so much easier to use, and I suspect would requier less plastic.

    Comments about Organic Wear Matte Finishing Veil, Translucent, .03 oz:

    This is simply one of my all-time favorite powder finishes. Lovely, soft, light diffusing. When you order it, just remember that when you get it you will need to immediately transfer it to another container. This one is garbage with a scratchy, cheap brush. PFOW...you need to can the person who thought this was a good idea. A fab product, rendered darn near unusable by crummy packaging.

      Comments about Organic Wear Matte Finishing Veil, Translucent, .03 oz:

      I bought this because I suffer from a lot of shine in my T zone and I wanted a natural product. It helps, it really does make my face matte however it's a bit difficult to get the powder flowing to the brush so I open it and apply the brush directly to the powder, it's easier that way. Other than that, I'm very happy with it and will purchase it again.

      Comments about Organic Wear Matte Finishing Veil, Translucent, .03 oz:

      This powder is wonderful. It covers evenly and does not look cakey at all. As a matter of fact it doesn't even look like I'm wearing makeup. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the container and brush it comes with are useless. The brush is rough and the powder does not filter through the top and out of the brush well so every time I get it I have to transfer it into my own loose powder container which can be messy and a tedious task. In spite of that I wouldn't wear anything else. I love this product and have been wearing it for years now.

        This is the best makeup I have ever found. I have sensitive skin and this causes no break outs. It leaves your skin looking natural. I wear this as the foundation and powder both.

            This powder finishes very well, whether I am wearing lots of make-up for a night out, or just a tinted moisturiser under it. It leaves the skin looking and feeling flawless. The only drawback is the less than perfect container that takes up a lot of space in a make-up bag or purse and is frustrating to dispense.

              I use this over the tinted moisturizer. It adds just the right amount of coverage and gives me a glowy, matte finish. No makeup lines, no acne, just a beautiful face. I actually look like I've spent a day at the beach, once I put all of the organic wear together. I use the tinted moisturizer, the veil, and top with the bronzer/blush mix. Looks great!

              I was very nervous about trying these products, based on a few of the other reviews, and I was very, VERY nervous about going chemical-free in my makeup choices, but this line makes it easy and convenient. I'm tossing out all of my paraben loaded crud and keeping this line as my new first-choice.

              I use this product over a primer when in a hurry, or over a primer, tinted moisturizer (Organic Wear Ivory to Fair), and bronzer (Organic Wear Natural) when going all out. I love the matte finish, which I have just not been able to achieve with any other finishing powder, not even Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil which I have used for years. This is perfect for those with skin allergies, or just skin sensitivities which is my case. I don't get enough powder out of the brush by just letting it come through, so I do better by unscrewing the case and dipping the brush directly in the powder. This gives a much better finish.
