Sometimes it's the simple things that make all the difference. Have you ever noticed a woman's complexion and said to yourself "Gosh she has a pretty complexion". You're not sure why, but when the skin looks especially nice and soft, it might be because of one simple step that she has done... used a mineral veil! For those of you mineral makeup aficionados you know exactly what I'm talking about. But for those that don't, let me share this secret with you. Mineral veils are exactly what they sound like, a veil that hides your skin imperfections. I have been fortunate enough to try Ferro Cosmetics version of the mineral veil called 'Crystal Mineral Veil' (they also offer one called 'Matte' for those that need oil-blotting benefits). By taking a loose powder brush and gently dusting it over my skin, it gives the appearance of smoothness that you just can't get with other powders. It's the last step in the makeup process. For me, I notice that my pore size magically reduces and it gives a softer appearance to my face. I love what it does!
Ferro's mineral veils come in different soft shades and can be used every day, but I usually save it for night time enhancement or when I really want to look my best. The color that I have been using is Amber, a very soft mauve tone. It doesn't add a lot of color though, I use it more for the effect of softness. This is just one more product in your makeup bag that will give you the oomph to your look, the vavavoom to your appearance, the... well, I think you get it. If you haven't tried a mineral veil yet, maybe you should. And I highly recommend the Ferro brand. They have lovely soft colors to choose from... and they work!

Crystal Mineral Veil
Illuminating, glowing, dewy skin. Crystal Mineral Veil deposits a micro-crystaline effect on your skin, brightening dull ashy skin and minimizing lines. Comes in 4 sheer shades.
Crystal Mineral Veil is a product unike any other. It's sheer enough to use over or under your mineral makeup, and gives skin a fresh dewy glow anywhere you apply it. Banish dull, ashy skin with illuminating pure crushed minerals, with the added benefits of pure pearl and silk powders. Never sparkly, shiny, or itchy, the illuminating minerals bounce and reflect light off skin, reducing the appearance of lines, wrinkles and enlarged pores.
Amber Crystal Mineral Veil Premium mineral veil tinted in rich beige is enriched with silk powder.
Blends effortlessly whether you opt to wear it solo for a fresh, soft glow or layered over silky mineral foundation or with our blush for a gorgeous finishing product.
Tip: For a muted, softer effect, use under foundation.
Tip 2: Mix in with your favorite face and body moisturizer to give a soft, crystaline glow.
To Use: Tap a small amount into lid, swirl Flawless Face Brush into minerals and tap off excess. Sweep onto skin in a "C" form, starting above the brow, temples, then upper cheekbone. Lightly sweep anywhere dewy soft skin is desired.
For Summer: It's also great for a beautiful Summer time look. I love using this on women who are fairer, because when applied, it gives these women a gorgeous sheer bronzing affect, so natural looking and adds warmth to these lighter skin tones that normally lack, esp in summer when most women like to have a bronzier look. In essence, it can be used as an ever-so-soft bronzer, when traditional bronzers are too dark for lighter skin tones. Pair that look with a dash of Bashful Blush X3 in the cheeks and it’s stunning. It’s gorgeous when mixed in with moisturizer, an ultra soft luscious and dewy kick of color that looks so natural and illuminates the skin.
