Sheer Cover Review: "Dont waste your time..."

by Denise
(Ohio, USA)

If you want good mineral coverage this isnt for you. I purchased this product thinking that i had finally found the "Holy Grail" of mineral make up. I was impressed by the celebrities on the commercial.... It arrived and it SUCKED!! First of all im light skinned so i got the lightest kit they had for "Fair" skin (which didn't turn out to be fair, it looked like it was meant for tanned or medium skin tones). Of course it turned out that i needed the even "lighter skin toned kit called Bisque, which you don't find out until after ur already too dark kit arrives, so ull have to wait for your next kit to be upgraded to ur color. by the way they don't tell u about the "Bisque" color anywhere on the TV commercial. The cover up thats supposed to get rid of dark circles and other imperfections didn't cover anything, it was grainy and it felt like i was putting cornmeal on my face. The powder didn't cover either i could still make out every single freckle on my face and their barely noticeable!! The little free eyeshadow gift was small and was actually greasy and its supposed to be mineral eyeshadow. Their moisturizer actually DRIED up my skin!! And i dont even have sensitive skin, i was pealing off pieces of skin off my face only minutes after using it. Overall it looked and felt like old cheap make up. I have bought mineral make up from AVON catalogs that are cheaper, bigger and work 50 times better than the crap they sent me!! The worst part is there is supposed to be like a 30 day money back guaranteed no questions asked which when u call they actually tell you u have 7 days to return the kit, otherwise u dont get ur money back, (and they do ask u a lot of questions as to why u want to return the product, i had to defend myself against their questioning) They failed to tell me there were certain steps i had to take in order to actually get my money back. For example there is a form (a small one) that you have to fill out and sent with the kit if you want your money back. I had a total of 6 calls i had to make to actually find out that i needed that form!!!! They gave me the runaround telling me different steps each time i called that i had to take before actually sending the kit back. I had to finally call and complain to a supervisor who then revealed to me the actual steps. By the way because of the inaccurate steps that i took (due to their own employees telling me the wrong information!) i didnt get my $35 dollars back or the $5 i had to spend to send it back. the only thing i got when i called about it was an "Im very sorry for ur inconvenience we will make sure to speak to those who gave you the wrong steps" For gods sake don't buy this crap!!!!

I received my Sheer cover three days ago and I love it. I got so many compliments on how well my make up looked.

Nuts for liking the concealer and duo?
by: Roobsta

OK - in reading the other comments, this stuff is not that bad. First, I don't like the cleansers and creams - I go to Sephora for that. Their shadows and glosses are nothing special, might as well go to the drug store and skip the shipping charges. The mascara is weird and I actually don't like it at all. It's too wet at first and then dries up really fast. And it flakes and falls off your lashes by the end of the day. Not very attractive. But... drumroll... I do like their concealer. I use the almond which I really like. It's too light for me during the summer, and the next shade up looks orange on me, so I use their almond all winter and then use something else during the summer. But I REALLY like the almond during the winter! It gives me good coverage and it doens't feel heavy. I can reapply a few times a day without feeling cakey. I recommend a really good moisturizer underneath - it makes a huge difference in the way that the concealer goes on. Other than the concealer, there's really not much more to recommend. Sometimes I feel a little duped because the shipping is steep, but if you like something, you'll pay for it. Happy makeup hunting!

I purchased Sheer Cover about two years ago and
the experience was horrible. The makeup was just
awful and never covered any imperfections but made them look worse. It's just wrong to charge
people for products not ordered. I just happened to read reviews after I had seen the results of the kit I bought. I quickly canceled any unwanted kits and canceled the
card that I had used to order it. This should
not have to be but at least that was the end of it. Years ago Guthry Renker was a nice company
in my opinion but something is wrong now.
