Sheer Cover Minerals

I had heard about the benefits of mineral makeup for so long. I had even spotted Leeza Gibbons on late night tv talking about the amazing products available. I don’t know why I waited so long to try mineral makeup, but my skin is glad I did. Thanks to Sheer Cover, I don’t plan on using my old liquid makeup anymore.

Sheer Cover explains why their patent-pending Mineral Foundation SPF 15 has so many benefits:

• Helps protect skin from oxidative stress and future damage with age-defying Green Rooibos Tea.
• Helps defend your skin from the visible signs of premature aging with SPF 15 protection.
• Deflects light from flaws with Mica to minimize the look of fine lines, pores and other imperfections.
• Contains 100% pure minerals from the earth that feel lightweight and look totally natural.
• Contains NO preservatives, chemical dyes, fragrance, silicones, or talc.
• Is perfect for all ages and skin types.
• Offers adjustable coverage so you can use as much or as little as you want.
• Soothes and calms irritations with Zinc Oxide.
• Won’t settle into fine lines & wrinkles.
• Is formulated with our “True shade technology” to ensure that the powders blend in with your skin tone for a perfect color match.
• Is sweat-proof so you can even wear it when you work out.

Thanks to Sheer Cover I was sent a 30-day Introductory Kit which included:

• Conditioning Facial Cleanser
• Nourishing Moisturizer with SPF 15
• Duo Concealer
• 2 of their patent-pending Mineral Foundations with SPF 15
• Extra Length Mineral Mascara
• 3 Studio Brushes
• Sheer Color Compact (with eyeliner, lip gloss, highlighter, and lip cream)
• Pocket Duo
• Tips & Tricks DVD

The kit couldn’t be more easy to use. First, I had to find my perfect shade. I was sent 2 different shades of the Mineral Foundation (Latte and Buff). What I found was that I was perfectly in between those 2 shades, so essentially I created my own custom shade. That custom foundation worked well on my skin…..and it felt so light, almost like I wasn’t wearing any makeup at all.

While I enjoyed using the products, I found that my favorite item was the Duo Concealer. Ever since I was pregnant with my daughter, I had developed these red blotches on my face. Not so pretty, if you know what I mean. The Duo Concealer , with it’s creaminess, completely hid those blotches. I was impressed with this since so many concealers I had tried left a cakey look (which isn’t so great up close). The entire kit was great (and lasted me longer than the 30 days stated)….the only thing I wasn’t super excited about was the mascara (my lashes didn’t seem to work well with it).

Ultimately, what has me sold on Sheer Cover, other than the look and feel of the products, is that they are totally natural….no dyes, chemicals, fragrance, etc. That has become increasingly important to me over the last few years. So, if you haven’t yet tried mineral makeup, you should check out Sheer Cover.
