Sheer Cover or Bare Minerals? (color, complexion, tone, look)

[marylee54]

Which is better, Sheer Cover or Bare Minerals? I see both heavily advertised on TV, but would prefer to go into a store to try on samples. Which gives the most natural look?

I agree with you 100% marylee54. When I went on to the Bare Minerals website I couldn't choose a foundation color. I have an olive complexion and everything they showed did not come close to my skin tone. I am sticking to my Boots #7 Foundation Match Made service. It took the assistant all of 15 minutes to sort out the correct color for me. It is the only foundation I have ever had that does not look "caked".

Have been using Bare Minerals for years.

BTW - how do you puck a foundation color on line?

I've never done that, but if you know which color of a certain brand you can match it up with another here:

I tried Bare Minerals and Sheer Cover and stayed with BE for several years but I discovered Laura Geller and really like her foundation much better. You can find it at Ulta and they can help you find the right color for your face.

I went to the Bare Minerals store this weekend. They do free color matching and consultations. Expensive, but the makeup goes on like a dream.
