I bought this product after hearing several good reviews about it.
These reviews are very true. I really like this powder and see it as a dupe for many, much more expensive, powders. The powder is loose and translucent. It doesn't come across as chalky, even on dark skin tones. It wears well and fills in pores and small lines. It leaves behind a matte finish and is very wearable. When I first started using it, I found it looked best if I reapplied it but it does have a nice 6 hour wear and this is in the summer in the Deep South.
The only problem I have with this is that it's messy. The sifter is kind of useless and when you open the lid, powder flies everywhere. I think they need to make the holes finer, so that less product can get through because I feel like I have wasted a lot that just fell to my floor.
However, for the $6 price tag, I can live. I think this is a really nice product and I will probably repurchase again.

Glow Getters Part Two: bareMinerals SPF 25 Mineral Veil Finishing Powder
This is the finishing powder offered by bareMinerals. I use this after I apply foundation to set it. It sets it extremely well, especially my Clinique Even Better Concealer - it doesn't move at all anymore. It controls the oil on my face very well, and I'm not having to reapply powder by lunch. It's great that this has SPF 25 in it because I hate having to apply sunscreen because of how oily it is and the way it smells.
The shade "original" matches my skin tone and is what is pictured below. This product is offered in "original" and "tinted" which match most skin tones. This powder conceals redness, as well. If you don't use anything except a powder base, this would be a good investment because it is a more opaque powder. This powder leaves a matte, flawless finish and application is extremely easy. It's finely milled and very comfortable to wear.
And for those of us concerned with the ingredients, it's free of Parabens, Sulfates, Synthetic Fragrances, Synthetic Dyes, Petro-Chemicals, and Phthalates.
