1. I'm not sure about the mineral veil jar tops. I've been using Bare Escentual products for about five years now. It has always been the black top. Did you purchase the mineral veil elsewhere? If you have purchased a mineral veil elsewhere, it COULD be part of a limited edition item. I'm not certain about this though. I purchased a Flawless Application Brush elsewhere and it was a greenish teal aqua-ish color, but the description did state that it would be that color but that it was a limited edition brush. So I'm not sure if that has something to do with why you received a green topped mineral veil container.
To ensure you always get the right thing and know that it's authentic, visit your local Ulta, Dillards, Sephora, Nordstrom, Bare Escentuals Outlet Stores or the BE website to order from the source.

1. The aqua top means it probably came with a kit originally. BE likes to make lids & makeup brush handles different colors for some kits, but the products & brushes are authentic & exactly the same. The lid colors/makeup handle colors don't change the products at all. Also, If you bought your product from BE directly or through one of their authorized distributors such as QVC, Sephora, etc you have no need to worry about authenticity.
2. I have the whitest of white skin & can guarantee you the Tinted Mineral Veil works for anyone. The Original Mineral Veil goes on sheer, whereas the Tinted adds a super soft layer of healthy color. If you're very fair like me you just need one light coat of the Tinted Mineral Veil to add a healthy glow. It doesn't add color like Warmth or any of the products like that, just a wash of subtle "I got a great night's sleep" glow.

1) There was a kit from QVC that contained the SPF version of mineral Veil with an Aqua (almost translucent) lid. Don't worry, that is an original product.
2) I wear faily light and i occasionally use the tinted mineral veil. It's not a coverage issue per se, it is more of a tonal additional of color. It's very subtle. So yes, it can be for any shade of dkin.
