Sheer Cover?

[Megan Turnidge]

Has anyone ever tried Sheer Cover? Every time I see the infomercial for this, I want to buy it. hehe
Just wondering if it's as fabulous as it sounds. I'm in need of new makeup and don't wanna make a bad purchase.

I've not tried Sheer Cover, but I use Pur Minerals which is very similar. It's fabulous! I love, love, love it, you can get pur minerals at Dillards.

No one has actually tried Sheer Cover?

[Leila]

Eh, it's ok. All the colors were too yellow for my skintone. There are better mineral companies out there.

I have, but I like Bare Minerals MUCH better! I've been using Bare Minerals for soooo many years. You can get it online, QVC (where it originally started) and even Ebay now. I would suggest Bare Minerals over Sheer Cover. Oh, and I've tried the cheap kind you can get at Wal-Mart or Target, and did not like those either. Go for Bare Minerals, they have a guarantee so you're not out anything if you don't like it.

If you're looking for a mineral make-up, I'd definitely try Bare Minerals. I just started using it in November and LOVE it!

[Megan Turnidge]

Ok, thanks! Just a little sad because Bare Minerals is double the cost. lol

[lauren grier]

eta: it's cheaper than bare minerals

[Aggie Aviso]

Oh, they have a free sample kit!

[Jenn Barrette]

Very cool, thanks for the enable, I just put in an order at every day minerals. They ship to Canada, and have Paypal as an option!

[pbumbaca]

Ummm, www.elf.com has some mineral makeup too, it's almost as good as Bare Minerals and it's way cheap!

[anrobe]

I use Everyday Minerals and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It's the best brand I've tried!!! And you can get 3 free samples to try it out ...

[jannylynn]

ordering my everyday minerals sample now! Thanks for the tip!!!

[amystoffel]

I'm ALL ABOUT Bare Minerals.

I HAVE tried Sheer Cover, and it is just EH to me. It is not bad; I use it if I am not going out that day, want to wear a little make up but do not want to waste the good stuff.

I used it while I was in the States this past winter, and my girlfriends commented on how good my skin looked. But here in Malaysia where it is 100% humidity year round, Sheer Cover doesnt cut it.

I start with Smashbox Photo Finish Primer, which works wonders at helping my foundation last longer, and then I use Philosophy: The Supernatural Airbrushed Canvas. It is a " high pigment powder" and the $35 bottle has lasted me five months and looks like it will at least last through the end of the year. I totally recommend it. It lasts all day, doesnt let my red skin shine through and doesn't get in my wrinkles.

I use Smashbox's Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder and I dearly love it. It is a little pricey, but it doesn't take much to even out my complexion. I buy mine at beauty.com, but I know that it is available at other stores as well. I like beauty.com a lot. They are really quick in shipping and they take paypal.

ETA: I do use a primer before I use it. I either use Smashbox's (mentioned in the post above mine) or an Avon one that I really love.

[Megan Turnidge]

Okie dokie! I got my sample kit today! The little samples are sooo cute. :P hehe
I have a question for the EM gals... what's your fave finish for the base and blushes? Base... I don't really have a big problem with oil, but I do live in the desert so it needs to last through me sweating. haha Matte? Original glo? Blushes... what's the difference between sheen and shimmer? I like a little shimmer, but I don't want to be shiny, iykwim.

THANKS for the recommendation. This stuff is GREAT for my sensitive skin. I bought mineral makeup from someone a few years ago and it totally irritated my skin and made me itchy. Don't have this problem with EM and it made my skin feel super soft!

[Aggie Aviso]

I mix my samples Meghan but I do live in a very humid country so it's a mix of matte and glo for me

[Megan Turnidge]

Well, apparently EM lets you order more free sample kits (in separate orders). So, I'm going to order another sample kit with the same shade in 3 different finishes. That'll do it.

[Rose]

I use Bare Minerals and love it. . . I also used a primer by smashbox.

[Aggie Aviso]

Every order you can get a free sample kit So once I found out my shade, Id order free samples every time I order, LOL. If you like their products, order the custom kit - the big ones are priced $8-10 but if you order the custom kit, you get 12pcs for 50$ - and choose between brushes, bases, blushes etc

Yeah, I definitely will do a kit when I actually buy. That's a fantastic deal (even the smaller kit is).
