What a veil is
In makeup, a veil is the sheerest layer of color: a wash you can see skin through, laid on again only where you want it deeper. The Veils are six pieces made to wear that way: a skin tint, a cheek gel, a lip tint, a tinted brow gel, a fine setting mist and a body oil with a soft sheen.
One by one
Wear one alone or layer them in order: the tint first, then cheek, lip and brow, the mist last.
Skin Veil
A sheer skin tint in ten shades, very fair to very deep. Press it in with your fingertips and your freckles stay. 30 ml.
Cheek Veil
A cheek gel in rose, apricot and berry. Pat it on with a fingertip; the warmth of your skin does the blending. 8 g.
Lip Veil
A lip tint with a doe-foot, in rose, berry and brick. One coat looks like your lips, only warmer. 6 ml.
Brow Veil
A tinted brow gel with a spoolie, in taupe, soft brown and deep brown. It colors the hairs and leaves skin bare. 5 ml.
Setting Veil
A fine, clear mist to finish. Hold it at arm’s length and mist once over your face to set every coat. 100 ml.
Body Veil
A light body oil with a soft golden sheen. Smooth a few drops over shoulders, collarbones and shins. 100 ml.
Built in coats
Each veil goes on thin, so color deepens only where you lay it again. Below: one, two and three coats over six skin tones.
Shown: Cheek Veil
One coat
A wash of color with your skin showing through, freckles and all. On most days, one is enough.
Two coats
A second coat, patted on where you want it, reads as color: the apples of the cheeks, the center of the lips.
Three coats
As deep as the veil goes, for evenings and photographs. Finish with one mist of Setting Veil.
One, three or all six
Each veil is $26 on its own. Take three or all six and the set costs less; you choose every shade.

Before your first coat
How do I choose my shade of Skin Veil?
Look at the side of your jaw in daylight and find the depth closest to it, then the undertone: cool if your skin leans pink, warm if it leans golden, neutral if it does neither. Each shade is named for both. Between two shades, take the lighter one: a sheer tint can be built up, never taken back.
How sheer is sheer?
Sheer enough that your freckles, your pores and the color of your own skin show through one coat. Skin Veil evens things out a little and hides nothing; it will not cover a dark spot or a scar the way foundation does. If you can still see your freckles, it is working.
Can I wear the Veils over sunscreen?
Yes, and keep wearing it: none of the Veils contains sunscreen. Let it settle for a few minutes, then press Skin Veil on with your fingertips rather than rubbing, so the sunscreen stays where you put it.
I have sensitive skin. Can I wear them?
Read the full ingredient list on each veil’s page before you order, and try a little on your inner arm for a day before it goes on your face. If your skin reacts to many products, your dermatologist can tell you which ingredients to avoid.
Who makes the Veils?
A cosmetics maker produces them for us. We choose each formula and every shade from its range, and the maker labels, packs and ships each order.
How long does an order take?
