    Default Does anyone "Sheer Cover'?

    I'm in need of make-up and don't want to spend a fortune. Has anyone ever used "Sheer Cover" or "Bare Minerals" ?

    It seems like a good price for what's in the package. Thanks.:

    I just received the free trial of bare minerals that I got off another site, and I love it! I use medium beige and it is awesome. It is a powder and is not heavy and you can leave it on overnight and it doesnt hurt your skin. I am going to be ordering the larger size in the next couple of days. I always steered away from bare minerals because it is so pricey, but now that I have tried it, it will be worth every penny!

    I have tried bare minerals and Sheer Cover and I like them both, although I prefer Sheer Cover as it has more coverage for me. I have freckles on my face and I like to cover them up and Sheer Cover does it with less make-up and the Bare Minerals. I will never go back to a liquid make-up again. This type of make-up is fantastic, no break-outs and like the Bare Minerals advertisement said, I did see some improvement in my skin. Definitely worth every penny in my book.

    Im glad to hear this - I too have been wondering about it. I have oily skin so I was wondering how well it did with oily skin too.

    A friend of mine has started using one of those, she likes it because it does not trigger her skin allergies. Most cosmetics give me a rash, too, so I am tempted to try it, but I've gotten so used to not wearing makeup now I don't know if I need the expense.

    I use Bare Minerals and LOVE IT!! It's the only make up that doesn't make my face feel like it's smothering. And I don't break out. I have issues with allergies in some make-ups, but nothing with Bare Minerals. I can't say enough about it

    I agree! I love Bare minerals! You don't feel "made-up," but it really goes on evenly and you can go heavier or lighter depending on you preference. Also, it contains a sunscreen.

    I've seen other mineral makeups at Wal-mart, and don't know if they are as good. Probably they are just as good.

    ive been using bare minerals for about 2 years now and i love it. and since you dont use that much of it at a time, it will last for quite awhile.

    I use the Physician's Formula mineral makeup (the loose powder, not the "mineral" liquid). I really like it. The coverage seems good and it doesn't cause breakouts like the other foundations I've used. A lot of cosmetic brands have their own version of mineral powders...If you head to a drugstore and check out their testers, you might find a cheaper brand that you like.
