“What do you think of ‘Sheer Cover’ mineral makeup? I never hear much if anything about it. Is it liked as well as ‘Bare Minerals?’ or any of the others? Thanks, Jackie”
I actually wonder the same thing too Jackie. I’ve seen Sheer Cover’s infomercials and wonder just how well it works. If any readers have tried Sheer Cover, Bare Minerals, etc. please share your experience in the comments.
While I know nothing of how Sheer Cover works, I found a website dedicated to complaints of Sheer Cover’s product and customer service (282 complaints yikes!) You can see it here: Sheer Cover complaints.

I ordered Sheer Cover and i didn’t really like it at all. I found it just caked on my skin and didn’t cover like it said it would. The colors weren’t very good, didn’t match my light skin tone and you had to order for 3 months- not like the adverisment said. It was a lot more money then they claimed it would be. So i was out alot of money and with makeup I don’t even like.
i havent tried Sheer Cover but I have not heard anything good, many “unpleased” & “bad customer service” reviews/comments. I have looked at Bare Minerals but found it to go on very cakey, looking like too much product without really any product on my face. one that i really like is by MAC, their pressed mineral powders are awesome, very smooth going on. my husband commented today that i looked flushed like i wasnt feeling well, so i looked in a mirror & they were very very red. well, this was my first time going without my powder since i bought it & the last ;-)
I’ve never tried Sheer cover, but i do use Bare Minerals and I love it. The makeup goes on fresh and clean without it looking like you have much on at all. I kept getting comments on how nice and radiant my skin looked. I would urge everyone to try the Bare minerals. Here’s a link to some reviews of Sheer Cover:

I hope this helps.
I haven’t tried this particular makeup but in my experience most mineral foundations are pretty much the same. I like bare escentuals. I’ve tried Purity and it was basically the same thing.
There are mixed feedback about this product, mostly negative. I tried it and I love it. To others, they may say it makes them look oily but to me its “dewy”. I have no complaints and I think Kristen is right, most mineral makeups are pretty much the same.
This website is very helpful.

Sheer Cover is a mediocre product, but the most important is the sales practice; even if the product has been cancel, the company will charge the credit card again right away claiming that the product has been shipped already! Then, when one call to check for the track number of the shipment they -the customer service- will not give it because the product is in “process” , therefore, they do not have the shipping number.
Omg , I love sheer cover very very much… Sheer cover is help my skin look healthy and beautifully and it help me cover my ugly spots and my acne scars. It’s really works, I had try bare minerals before but it doesn’t work for my skin ! So now I’m using sheer cover and I really love it!!!
I recently bought sheer cover and i hate it some spots are cakey and it looks like i have on alot on the spots that i put conealer on i just hate it i have really red cheeks and i can’t find make up that looks good on me
