What the Company claims: “Sheer Cover® minerals are 100% natural, infused with skin-soothing botanicals, natural sun protection, and anti-aging green tea to protect your skin from premature aging – meaning you won’t find any oils, perfumes, dyes or talc – ensuring it is gentle and not irritating on your skin. Pure mineral pigments lay on top of your skin to provide extraordinary coverage, while mica reflects light to minimise the look of fine lines and give you a sheer, flawless finish. The minerals work with your skin’s natural oils to make imperfections seemingly disappear instantly, without looking thick, “cakey” or dull. The result is a natural look that lasts.”

Comes in 4 shades: Light, Fair, Medium, Tan
Most of us would have seen the Sheer Cover ads on TV..when I was offered to try it out, I thought why not..lets see if it holds up to all those claims..
I have the Medium Kit.
Starting with the Conditioning Cleanser, here are the instructions and ingredients..
The cleanser is a clear gel like..its not a face wash but a makeup cleanser or remover essentially..though they mention it can be used as a face wash..it does not foam..works well for removing Sheer Cover or mineral makeup..heavy makeup or waterproof mascara, etc would not come off with this..kinda ok.
Next is the Nourishing Moisturiser with SPF 15..here are the instructions and ingredients..
Its a thick white moisturiser..takes some time to absorb..this is meant more for dry skin..oily skin would find this a little heavy..
Base Perfector or a Primer..its a slender small tube with a nozzle tip and is clear just like a primer..has that silicony effect..but this actually makes makeup go smoother, stay on longer and helps minimize pores..love this primer.
Foundation, Concealer, Contour brush and Pocket Kabuki
The concealer brush and kabuki are excellent..the concealer brush is just perfect, stiff, reaches the corners, does not shed hair..the pocket kabuki is like super cute, soft, fits in the palms of your hands. This can be your travel accessory for all your pressed powders too..it is surely going into my handbag 😉 The contour brush is kinda good..foundation brush is a little scratchy..
Concealers
I have the Medium/Tan shade..It is available in Light/Medium, Medium/Tan and Tan/Dark..you get 2 concealer pots of 1.5 g each which makes it 3g..one separately and one as a part of the travel pot (which btw, looks quite similar to the Laura Mercier Under Cover Pot)..where in the concealer is on the top and a small sifter jar at the bottom where you can add in your foundation shade or mix the two and carry only this along wherever you want to and you need not carry everything separately. Though one shade is a little light..I mix and adjust the two…the concealers are super creamy and pigmented..perfect for under eyes, blemishes, anywhere..stay on well..love them
Mineral Powder
It has 2 jars of mineral powders i.e 2 shades of 1.5g each..I have Golden and Almond..both are quite soft and silky and super blendable..may feel a little dry on application but soon sets on your face..it gives medium coverage and a natural look..and with concealers before, I guess its good to go for everyday use..but staying power is ok..no mineral powders stay very long in a humid place like Mumbai..

Mascara
The extra length Brown/Black Mascara is kinda ok..does not give any much of visible length but just the color..I like the subtle Brown/ Black shade..
Compact/ Color Sampler
It has a total of 7 things..2 lip glosses, 1 sheer lip cream, 1 cream eyeliner and 3 cream highlighters..the glosses are sheer and a little sticky but stay on well..the stickiness make them stay longer, give that pouty shine..the brown cream liner is super pigmented and rich dark cocoa brown (Cafe Mocha)..stays on well and does not transfer..love it ! And the best part, the cream highlighters..there is a frosty white (French Vanilla), baby pink (Pink Parfait) and a peachy shade (Melon Ice)..super love them..work for highlighting brow bone, inner corners, cheek bones..I love the different hues each shade has..looks fab !
And all of these come in a big black pouch with a brush holder on one side and the rest of the stuff on the other with separate sections for each..love the pouch.
It also comes with a Tips and Tricks DVD and an Application Guide.
So overall I love some stuff and some are just ok..Love the concealers, color sampler, concealer and kabuki brush, base perfector and lastly the mineral powders..
I am not sure if they have some discounts or offers on it in between..3495 is a little high, but if they do have discounts..then this is a must try..and there is so much of stuff going in there..
The kit can be bought HERE. They have Cash on Delivery too..Guthy Renker is their parent company and they also have an anti acne system called Proactiv which again most of you must have heard of..check it HERE
So, have you tried Sheer Cover? What did you like the most ??
