VERY BAD PRODUCT
1/5/2009 - MABEL of MAINE, USA writes:
very bad product, actually very heavy on your skin, looks like liquid conceler or make up. They sign you up for 3 iqual charges, I though I was going to pay like $30 and they kept sending me additional ones every 30 days and charged my credit card. I just hate the product but I must say the operators are nice.
Impossible to cancel!!!

Got the initial package and liked the product, however, did not want auto shipments which they sent anyway. They would come too often with two shades of powder and concealer, when I only wanted one shade of each, so half of what I got was unused. Customer Service took forever to stop sending auto shipments. The first return I made was credited, but the second was never credited and they are still asking me to pay. It is very difficult to cancel membership!!! If they could improve customer service and not force you into far too many shipments, I probably would have used the product for years.
Good Product

UPDATE: Make up is good! Just make sure you call and get your bill mailed and not auto pay. That way you can avoid any unnecessary charges.
Beware--they won't record cancellations

The sad thing is I really do like the makeup. Their business practices are horrendous, though. First of all it took me forever to figure out exactly what I was paying for in the first place. Their $29.95 for the first set is a monthly charge and signs you up to get automatic shipments. I did realize this and immediately changed my create-a-kit and shipment timing to every 3 mo (although I could have sworn I checked 16 weeks, but whatever). So I got about 4 shipments of exactly the same stuff because I forgot to change the kit between. Again annoying but I coulda changed it. The thing that really did it though was I called to cancel in September, just after they sent yet another box, and they told me I couldn't return it, although looking back they do have a 60 day guarantee and I should have been able to. Worse, in December I looked at my cc statement and found another charge! I looked at the sheer cover website and see they just shipped another box! So I called again and they had no record of my cancellation. I may have shrugged this off as an honest mistake, except that the EXACT same thing happened when I tried to cancel my [] shipments (also Guthy-Renker--same company) a couple months before. They sent out another shipment after I cancelled and claimed they had no record of the cancellation. Sheer cover backtracked on it when I called them on it and said I could send the coming shipment back, but they refused to give me a cancellation confirmation so I'm expecting more issues. I'm thinking having no record of cancellations may be part of their regular business practice so watch out and call them out if they try to pull that on you. The one nice thing is that I have enough makeup now to last a few years.
Fine Print
12/15/2008 - Cheryl of Florida, US writes:
DO NOT USE ALL CAPS.Don't be fooled by Sheer covers fine print. After ordering the product and puting your credit card information on-line a new page appears. You can pay a small fee for an adddtional primer and bronzer, but in fine print the 30 day order changes to a 90 day, which is $90.oo. I hit No Thanks and still received the 90 day supply which is 0.14 oz. Mineral power by [] $8.00 is 0.28 oz.and works the same (100% natural minerals).Sheer cover sold by Guthy-Renker is a waste of money and doesn't stand by its product. I will never order a product sold by this company.
Love it!

I love this stuff, I've tried quite a few different make up products over the years and this is by far the best. My face has been clearer than its ever been! I used to break out on a regular basis, and now zits are a rare occassion for me. The minerals look much more natural than a lot of liquid foundations, yet unlike some other mineral products it goes on evenly and blends well into your natural skin tones. While it does indeed stay on your skin longer than a lot of other makeups, you still do need to reapply throughout the day. The infomercial makes it seem like at the end of the day it looks no different than when you first applied it-- that I would disagree with. But as I said, it is true that it wears much better than most make ups. Sheer Cover is definitely worth trying out if you haven't yet!
STAY AWAY!!!!!

I cannot stress how terrible Sheer Cover is! I have not broken out that bad since I hit puberty!!! My boyfriend literally asked "did you switch makeups? I don't like this one...normally you look so natural but this one is cakey!" For someone to actually mention that...he was right! The concealer is terribly cakey, and the brushes are like children's toy makeup brushes! SOOO cheap!! Not to mention shortly after...I was inflamed with red pimples...and I never break out like that! I get a zit here and there...but it was a total pizza face! BEWARE! Not to mention they will charge you way more than they lead you to believe.
Minerals! WOW!

I did not believe in the idea of mineral makeup at first, but decided to give it a shot. I have normal/oily skin, no imperfections, just wanted to give my skin an extra oomph of a glow. I usually wear foundation with full coverage, so I didn't think this could possibly work for me. The first time I tried it, it made my face look oily after a few hours. I called Customer Sevice, and they were wonderful enough to send me the Base Perfector and Finishing Powder to go over the mineral makeup to try, full-sized, free of charge! I couldn't believe it, that was great! I tried the makeup with the Base (which you should use for any makeup as a primer anyways), and fell in love after two uses! This makeup lives up to its name. I doubted this would work, but have cut my bathroom time in half, with my skin looker greater than it ever has. All new products take time, give this a chance for it to work for you, it surely will!
I LOVE IT!

I've always had like a face with so many flaws! Such as acne, and acne scars. Nothing else seemed to have cover it. SO I tried SheerCover and it worked great! It's light, and I haven't been breaking out for awhile. Totally suitable for my skin. I have to say it's totally worth the price.
No Better than Cheap Minerals
11/16/2008 - Jean of PA, USA writes:
Not only did I not get the covergae promised, but the brushes, etc. were cheap, too. I broke out in about 4 days and returned it. I'm still waiting for my credit card to be reibursed - three weeks later. Need I say more?
BUYER BEWARE - unethical business practice!
11/14/2008 - HT of WA, USA writes:
I ordered this product over the phone while watching the infomercial. The sales rep asked me multiple times to upgrade the package and sign up for convenient monthly auto-replenished shipments. Each time I stated I was not interested, and merely wanted to try the first set. Much to my disappointment they started charging me every month on my credit card, with the second months charges being reflected prior to them even sending a second package!! By the time I called to cancel, they said a credit would not be issued until the package was received. I sent back all of the packages marked RETURN TO SENDER and still did not see any credits. Had to call back again to cancel and they said they would only remove the last charge, which again was charged weeks after I had already cancelled. This is the biggest scam. This company should be put out of business for unfair practices, and Leza Gibbins should be ashamed to put her name on this product. [] is better and it can be purchased at retail stores, [], and even []!
I LOVE SHEER COVER!!!

I'm a middle aged lady who is closer to 60, than to 50 now, who looks to be in my 40's (so they tell me...and yes, it's actually true 8-) I'm in the spotlight at times, and I've used most likely, every type of make-up created through the years. I have pretty good skin with a pimple or two that pops up every now and then. Only a few fine lines and no deep wrinkles. I've tried EVERY SINGLE MINERAL MAKE-UP out there. Those advertised via Infomercials as well as ads from online, to the ones on stores. Without question, Sheer Cover is the very best quality mineral make-up ever made. I've read that many people have had problems with billings and customer service. You know, that is going to happen with any product at anytime. The people who work in that department are working for hourly wages and have nothing to do with this product. If you do not want to have a recurrent billing with the company, you do have the option of registering at the Sheer Cover site and choosing ONLY those products that you want, which are sold for a specific price. You can choose as few or as many items to purchase there as you so desire. If you are ordering a kit, you have the option to choose the frequency of your delivery also. (up to 10 items / up to 16 weeks frequency of delivery) On their site you will find MANY more products than shown on TV, and the one AMAZING PRODUCT that they fail to tell you about on TV, is the Base Perfector, which comes in a tube and is to be worn under the powder. THIS product makes your skin feel like SILK or VELVET it is so softening, and it absolutely does give your skin a PERFECTLY flawless base on which to place your powder. You will see NO pores! IF you still think that the mail-order is not for you, you can buy this product at several stores which I would not be allowed to state the names of here, at a reasonable price. (Google it) You can also buy Sheer Cover on the [] auction site, in all forms from the kits to just one product. After trying ALL of the mineral make-ups. This one is my choice above all, and everyone in my family now uses it. THREE GENERATIONS, all ages, It works for all of us. I always use [] for my moisturizer which is a trade secret of many of the stars. A drop goes a long way. You can also put less than a tiny drop on your finger (rub your fingers together to make it even less) and if you have obvious lines or wrinkles after applying your make-up, such as under the eyes or crow's feet or around the mouth. Just gently pat the finger with a miniscule amount of [], over the top of your make-up. Blot, if you've applied too much so that it looks too oily. It's very concentrated! [] defracts the light that shows the lines in your face. So, there's a secret of those that are in front of a camera constantly. Sheer Cover is the absolute BEST, for any age female!! It's definitely MY make-up of choice!! I have good skin at this time in my life because the fact is, that Less is More and with Sheer Cover, the results are MORE but it is so lightweight that you don't feel like you are wearing make-up at all!!
Beware of unapproved charges
10/6/2008 - Vanessa of AZ, US writes:
I also ordered the trial kit and thought it was so-so. With no intention of purchasing more, I recived a $90 make-up kit in the mail and was charged to my credit card. The website nor the infomercial make it clear that you will automatically be charged monthly for automatic delivery of more prodcuts that you don't order. I would not recommend Sheer Cover to anyone. You can get the same quality mineral powders in drug stores for $10 and won't be billed for things you didn't order.
Not Worth Your Money
10/5/2008 - Odessa of NE, USA writes:
I tried this make-up product and it isn't worth the money. You would be able to find the same quality make-up at discount stores and if you want to spend more, at department stores. It is okay make-up but nothing special.
beware debit scam
10/5/2008 - Kim of wa, usa writes:
I bought the product after I just had a baby. Thought 29.99 not bad for all that make up advertised-cool. I figured it would last me a long time since I don't use make up often. On the phone they tried to offer me free magazines and my fiance was paying for it so I had him pick the magazines. Well my fiance is quite the question asker and wanted to see how he was getting the free magazines. They were going to start billing us for a subscription of magazines and we had to cancel 30 days prior to the 3rd month. He was like no way we don't want anything free, because that is not free. We were continuously asked on upgrading our package and I said no, no to everything, no to bigger 2 month supply or whatever it was, no to the additional multivitamin, really no, all we want is what is advertised on tv which is the 29.99 package and that was it. Well we got our product and I was pretty happy. The product was great, but here comes the troubling part. I received another package. I called and asked why I received a second package. They told me that its the way it set up. Well wouldn't I have to authorize it to continuously be billed and receive more? You would think so, eventually they will get in trouble for the unwarranted debiting system. It was a nightmare to get fixed. I had to call in 4 different times and it was just strange how the systems had to be down twice after my initial phone call. The fourth time I finally got through and they attempted to give me the run around, but I demanded a refund and a prepaid postage for the product. I waited and after almost 4 months finally got my refund. Don't trouble yourself with this, it's not worth the time or effort. Go buy [] or some other version the ingredients are better and in [] or [] or whatever it is they call it only has 5 ingredients. Although I do like the way sheer cover works better, not thrilled about the billing makes me go for the alternative.
Actual product OK, Cost/service is not
10/3/2008 - Kylie of Vic, Australia writes:
OK, the actual powder is Ok, and looks reasonable when on. Its the cost and all the other stuff you are forced to buy, as well as billing issues/poor service that drag this product down. Crummy moisturiser & cleanser, poor concealer, brushes that shed hair, the list goes on It costs over $400 per year to use this product and you get more of it, even if you dont want it. And just try getting a refund. My advice is to invest in a mineral foundation at a department store and get one of the assistants to match it to your skin. Get a decent set of skin care items and stick with it. You will save time, money and aggravation in the long run
Great product!!!

I would have to say over all, Ive been using Sheer cover for about a month or so now. I like it so far, I have not complaints what so ever. I have to say that it has helped my skin as far as acne is concerned. I would normally get break outs often, but ever since I used S. Cover, the break outs havent been so bad. I get compliments at work and family. Every one seems to love it on me too!!! Some people may have not so good experiences, and let me just say that what may work for me, may NOT work for you. Our bodies react differently and not the same. Well I love this product and I will continue to use it untill the next best thing!!!!
Good product, poor customer service
9/28/2008 - Nadia of CA, USA writes:
When I first ordered Sheer Cover I got it in 3 days, I liked it. It did cover blemishes like it was told in the commercial, and I could find my own perfect shade. I liked the fact that I could excersize with this make up on, and it would be still good for my skin. When the time was for my next shipment, I waited for 3 weeks and didn't get anything. I called, they said that they will send a replacement, I waited 2 more weeks, didn't get anything. I wrote an e-mail, they again promised to send me my order, 2 weeks later I still didn't get it. I called again today and they said that they don't have any records of my first replacement being sent, but they did send me a new order after my e-mail. I don't know if I should believe them. If I don't get it in the next week, I'll just cancel it. I can't wait for my make up 2 months, I might as well find something good in a make up store and have it right away...
Not Worth It
9/19/2008 - Rachel of Iowa, USA writes:
I cancelled my subscription because I felt it was not worth how much it cost. I still kept getting charged for the next 3 months and kept calling and the customer service reps were not helpful. Would not recommend this product at all.
awesome
9/12/2008 - no of no, no writes:
This is the BEST makeup i have EVER used. I have really blotchy red skin and it covers it all. I was really hesitant trying another mineral powder but this is so concentrated it really covers and it's sweat proof so it stays on! I especially like that the concealer is a cream and covers my red areas. I would NEVER order a product from an online infomercial. I picked mine up at a [] cart in the mall, i guess the lady said some locations were testing it. I hope they keep it because I have not found anything comparable and I have tried EVERYTHING from drugstores, to makeup counters, to private companies. This is also the most natural-looking makeup I have used. My friends say it doesn't look like I have makeup on, and I showed one girl who went on vacation with me what I looked like without it and she couldn't believe it! She now orders hers but I guess she doesn't mind the billing. Anyways, it's definitely worth a try, and I think you get a money-back guarantee so what's the risk!?!
