Awful
8/22/2006 - Anonymous of Ohio, USA writes:
Terrible product, I saw wrinkles that I'd never noticed before. I have oily skin, but it still looked caky. You're automatically enrolled into their continuing program, where you get billed every month. Now why would they do that unless they were SURE you'd NEVER buy the product on your own again? I asked them not to send me the product two weeks before my second shipment was due, but they said it had already been invoiced. So I received a 3 month supply, and was charged for it. I'm stuck with the first shipment, but I am DEFINITELY returning the 3 month supply. I'm extremely skeptical of the good reviews the product receives. Didn't find a single bad review when I was ordering the product, but it seems now that most people share my opinion.
Disappointed

Did not cover well, didn't help dark circles under eyes. Felt like i had alot of makeup on, not light as advertised. Went for a doctor's appointment while wearing, my doctor thought I looked pale and thought I needed an iron supplement!!

The whole idea of this product was to feel nothing on your skin but still have a flawless look. That was NOT the case. In order to get any kind of coverage, you would have to put tons of powder on and after you do that you'll feel like you're wearing a mask. It does not cover very well. My skin is somewhat clear but I still like the coverage for the flawless look. You won't be able to get that will this product. Unless I'm applying it on incorrectly, I don't see the wonders that the infomercial promised. The brush that came with it really sucks. The so-call minerals get all over the place and it doesn't cover all that great. I say save your money and stick to the regular foundation.
Bare Escentuals still the best

I love mineral make up, so It hought iw ould try it.....Went right back to my favorite makeup by B.E.. The makeup did not cover they way they claimed, and certainly did not have that "naked" feel I came to love with B.E. My advice? Buy B.E., you don't have to join a club and you can purchase it in malls at [] so you don't get any "surprises" or color issues!
Love It

I really like it. My skin really does feel like Im not wearing makeup. Ive worn it out in the humidity and my face didnt get shiny nor did I have to reapply. It doesnt cake into my frown lines like liquid foundation. A few of the bristles did come off the brush but only on the initial use.
cakey-looking

Initially I was very excited about using this product. Then it turned orange on my normal/combo skin and looked caked on. It didn't feel "natural" either. A little bit does go a very very long way, so the 60-day supply autoship program just gives you more than you need, but charges you $38 or whatever every month. I cancelled after receiving my first kit. I never used the cleanser and moisturizer. The only product I really like and still use is the concealer.
Hated It!

I bought this ages ago when the infomercials for it first came out. The commercial touted the wonders of this "purely mineral" makeup & the wonderful coverage you got from it. What they didn't tell you is that to get any *real* coverage, you had to use the cream concealer that comes with it (that wasn't mentioned AT ALL in the commercial), and which was precisely what I was trying to avoid. Pure mineral makeup, my foot. I see that they changed the infomercials now to mention the concealer (I wonder who got them in trouble with their legal department), but that doesn't change the fact that it's *not* solely mineral makeup. I'll stick with another brand that uses only minerals to conceal - and works right.
bad quality all around

1. The make up looks unnatural; 2. The brushes are crappy 3. The club membership is a nightmare if you are trying to get out: I called 2 weeks after my 1st kit arrived to cancell future shipments; the rep said they will be cancelled; a week later a charge showed up on my credit card, I called and another rep said the kit already shipped but that I should just send it back and money will be refunded. I did, but only got 42 dollars out of the 80-something that they charged me for the two shipments (shipping and handling charges...). Now I find another charge on my credit card (after a refund has been issued). There is no customer support number on their website, so I guess I have to wait for the damn kit and call them, and then off to the post office for the 3RD TIME... Don;t get sucked in
Not that great!
3/27/2006 - Mary of Utah, USA writes:
I have been trying this makeup and I first I thought it worked pretty well. The concealer does definitely help better than some, but it doesn't cover up darker scars. But, when I realized just how much it was, it is just not worth it. I might buy some extra concealer and then, I'm planning on sending the rest back. The brush is horrible and the makeup just isn't worth $35/month.
love product, but don't get what you pay for

I love the light feel and the coverage of this product. However, when you get your 3 month supply, surprising the concealer, cleanser and moisturizer are only double the amount of product that you receive with your initial 1 month supply. Essentially, you pay a 3 month price for 2 months of product. I love the product and am so disappointed that this company is not willing to fix this problem. The brush has a few problems also...bristles falling out.
Great as a Foundation

I have been using this product for six months now and love it! I have T-zone combination skin and this is the first product where my face doesn't end up feeling oily. I use the bronzer as my blush, and it has been the best shade ever! I threw away the brush though, because the bristles come out easily.
Not pleased
3/22/2006 - Julie of Newfoundland, Canada writes:
I've been "trying" to use this product for a few weeks. Let's just say the infomercial is better than what comes in the box. I have acne prone skin and even on my best skin days, this make up makes it look worse somehow. I find it too dark (even with the ligthest shade) and I don't find it blends well at all. The coverage is minimal and the power, once on, makes my pore scream "look at me!!" I was very dissapointed and will be switching back to my old make up...Fair skinned gals - stay away!!!
Sheer Cover
3/16/2006 - Kimberly of Oklahoma, USA writes:
I have been using Sheer Cover for 3 months, I do like the product the coverage is great and the finishing powder is the best. The problem I have is with the brush the hairs come out all over your face. The quality is not great so it needs to be replaced every month at least. I called to order a brush and received one that was worse than the one I had. I called customer service again and they said it was normal I told them the brush had to be defective because more hairs were coming out than the first brush I used. Customer service told me I had to wait even though I requested a new one. She said if I had problems after two more weeks to call back and then they would replace it. It doesn't matter how good the make-up is if you don't have a brush to put it on with.
Sheer Cover
3/6/2006 - Sally of Oklahoma, USA writes:
My expectation is that makeup application should be effortless and comfortable. Both makeup and brush irritated my skin. The makeup caused slight itching and the brush was not the best quality. I've tried B.E. and it is hard to beat! I definitely quit the club and found their customer service excellent though.
Best Concealer Ever
2/11/2006 - Cathy of Georgia, USA writes:
Te makeup was good but I travel, so it's easier to take a liquid makeup. But the concealers are the best I have ever used. They are lightweight and come in two shades. You can use them anywhere and they blend flawlessly, yet cover all imperfections.
Great makeup

I have been using this product for 5 months and am very pleased. Before using this, I did not wear foundation but have found that as I age, I need something to even out my skin and give it a smoother texture. Sheer cover did that for me. It is easier to use than liquid foundation and gives my skin a very smooth overall appearance. I do not feel like I had a lot of makeup on. The first time I tried it I used too much, but quickly realized it only took a minute amount to make a difference. The only drawback for me is the brush supplied with it. The bristles come off quite a bit on your face and shirt. Overall I have been very pleased, and did not have to join a club because I purchased it over a shopping channel website.
Great product but don't want to belong to club!

Sheer Cover is a wonderful product, and it really lives up to the testimonies on their infomercial. I have some uneven skin tones, and it covered it beautifully. The concealer is great. It is easy to apply it too heavily, and like the infomercial states, a little goes a long way. After a couple of attempts, I got the hang of it. The only problem was that I thought it was a little expensive, and I didn't want monthly shipments. I must say that customer service was wonderful, and they told me that I could call and delay any shipments. One time they accidentally sent a shipment that I didn't request, and I returned it unopened, so I didn't pay postage. Eventually I got tired of trying to remember when to call them to tell them to wait a little longer! One operator told me that she could put a date in the computer for the next shipment, and when I called a few weeks later to verify the date, another operator had a much earlier date. It became too much of a hassle. I could usually go 2-3 months without needing another kit. After about a year I quit my membership and went back to my old routine (Clinique). Customer service was very friendly, but the only turnoff was that not one operator had ever tried this product! I probably spoke to 5 or 6 people during this time, so I wanted to see if they liked it as well as I did. I think it would be in the company's best interest to at least let operators try out their products, or is this unreasonable? I know that when I was undecided about buying it, I asked the operator if she liked Sheer Cover, and she said her skin was flawless and didn't need makeup! Oh, well. Sheer Cover felt like a reputable company and they were very pleasant to deal with. All in all, it is a great product, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it if it could be sold in retail stores.
nice product

I generally don't like the feel of foundation but this product covered like a foundation but was lighter than the average powder. The product looks very natural. My only con is they want you to join this club and receive large amounts of this product every 3 months. Good if you wear makeup everydy but excessive if you don't. Overall a good makeup for the natural look.
Pretty Good

I ordered the Sheer Cover kit last fall and was pleased with the product. As others have mentioned it is lighter than the average foundation/powder, and blends well... I was billed according to what they said I would be...initially, at least. It is a "club" which you are supposed to be able to cancel at any time, which I decided to do after two shipments as I had MORE than enough make up for some time...The problem came when they shipped yet ANOTHER kit to me and billed me for it after I had cancelled my membership following their rules...I contacted customer service and received a prompt reply...that if I returned it I would be reimbursed the charge, but no mention of shipping costs, etc...I am returning it this week and will "report back" on the end result....Darlene Bourdeau
