Yep that’s right I have been really lucky to review some Sheer Cover Studio Make Up recently after I had disclosed my deepest secret to you all. For those of you that don’t know, I have several issues with the skin on my face from dry patches, redness and my pet hate the dreaded melasma!!
I had suffered with feeling uncomfortable and anxious about the patches on my face caused by the melasma and I had tried in vain to cover the darkly tanned patches with lots of different products but had been unsuccessful time and time again.
This is why I had been so very excited as this make up system is claimed to have a unique Trueshade Technology that works to create the perfect colour match for your skin tone.
Sheer Cover Studio apparently was originally developed to help patients conceal problems with their skin from age spots, spider veins, melasma, acne, roscea and birthmarks … see told you I was excited! ..
Now first off when it arrived I loved the presentation box but more than that I loved the quality of the brushes in the set that I had to review, they were so lovely to use.
Since I always remain hones,t I have to say I did look at the size of the concealer, mineral foundation and bronzer and think they were on the small side … stay with me here … the kit I had consisted of:
• Perfect Shade® Mineral Foundation (1.5g)
• Conceal & Brighten Trio (2g)
• Sun-kissed Bronzing Minerals (2.5g)
• Lengthening Mascara (6ml)
• Lash Extending Fibers (0.3g)
I WAS WRONG I have used the kit everyday bar 2 days for just over a month and I am only just down to my last 1/4 of mineral foundation .. the other things are still going strong for what I would guesstimate as another 1-2 months left .. obviously this is dependant on how much you need to use.
As for the system you must read the instructions .. there is a knack to applying and after the first few attempts you will find it does look seamless and feel light. I did not read the instructions, plastered my face with moisturiser as normal then attempted to add the products … big mistake it felt awful, it slid on my face highlighting my wrinkle laughter lines. So I learnt from that first mistake, read the instructions and moisturised well in advance and then added the products … what-cha know .. it worked!
Now you know me, never one to believe adverts and someone else’s say so. A little part of me wanted to prove it didn’t cover and to not like it as I am not a big fan of adverts that claim a lot and very often don’t deliver. Yes I am cynical!
So a month on did I really like it?
There is a very clear answer is …….
I love it
I am just about to buy my next 2 pots of mineral foundation as I don’t ever want to get to a point where I don’t have it in! .. I am also squeezing in a base primer.
It doesn’t dry my skin, it doesn’t irritate, its light, its easy to apply and covers like a dream!
Yes the price tag is a little on the high side … although I have seen higher on the High Street … but less is more where this system is concerned and since you don’t need a lot of product it does last a long while.

Wow, it looks great! How much was the set and where might I get it?
Lauren it really is fab, there are some links above and you can see the different kit ranges with prices xx
People really struggle to find stuff like this that works, and it looks really natural on you. Great review!
Hi Zena, thank you so much i was sceptical about the range so it was nice to try it and see the difference for myself that it works
I loved sheer cover when I tried it. I dont have bad skin, just the odd spot and a bit of redness around the nose. But it was great. My only issue was the size of the concealer. I would use a fair amount of that so it ran out really quickly – it was a 2 colour pot, I only needed the one and you couldn’t buy the colours separately. The foundation is still going strong, but really for me it was all about the concealer. Any mineral powder does the foundation job, but that concealer really was amazing.
the concealer is super isnt it, i didn’t need that much. I think it would be lovely to buy everything individually that way you are buying the specifics for you! x
That last picturebis amazing! I have terrible roscea, i’m quite aware ofit but make ups not great as it just highlights my dry skin. I think I may look into this, thanks lovely xx
i had the same problem my skin really is really dry but this stuff didnt dry it out which made a lovely change x
Sounds great & looks fab 🙂 x
thanks honey i loved it x
Looking fabulous! It really looks great!!
thanks Kim x
Your skins looks wonderful in the final photo. I’ve never tried Sheer Cover but I could use something to hide my dark circles, I may well give it a go.
awww thanks Pippa i have been really pleased with it x
That is fabulous stuff. Your skin looks amazing, but not overly caked in make-up. I have redness to the cheeks so this stuff seems perfect for me.
my nose and cheeks were very red so this really worked over those x
This looks so good, and now you’ve got me browsing their website…!
lol you will have to let me know if you order any x
Always a plus when you find something that works really well for you. I’ve given you a follow on Bloglovin
awww thank you honey xx
I have often seen the adverts for this and wondered if it really did work. It looks fab!
i was exactly the same and i thought i was too good to be true .. so that fooled me! 😉
What price for confidence! I’m so pleased you’ve found something that works. Your skin looks fab. I have a hideous dark spot on my right cheek which I believe has been caused by pregnancy as it seems to have got worse each time. I’ve tried all sorts on it but it won’t go away and won’t hide 🙁
Thanks for linking up with #TriedTested this week x
its called Melasma honey i got it all over my face 🙁 i blogged about it a few weeks ago 🙁
wow it looks really great I could do with some of this for my face – I like yourself have issues with my face so I am always looking for something to cover up great review #triedtested
thanks Helen i was really sceptical but ended up loving it!
That looks really great for cover and gives your skin a really good finish.
thanks Fiona i was really surprised how well it did cover
First off you look fab!! I have to say I’m impressed, I suffer with dry skin, eczema etc this sounds like it would work wonders for me x
awww thank you millions honey x
Wit-Woo! You look gorgeous lady! I have “awkward” skin and rarely wear make up because of it. this looks like really good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
awww your super kind my lovely .. i am putting it all down to the make-up! 😉
You look fantastic! It sounds like the make up has really given you your confidence back 🙂 x
awww thanks Donna it sure has x
It looks great – some things are worth the money
for my confidence it is so worth it!
Wow Jaime that looks amazing and you look amazing but like you say it’s so light and natural and doesn’t look like you’ve got much make-up on at all. Not that your before shots look that bad too me, it’s awful the way we stress about these things that others barely notice.
I get redness in my skin so am definitely going to look these up! xx
awww thanks Emily xx
