Has anyone tried Sheer Cover Mineral Make-up for thier wedding? What do you think of it?

Question

Does this product actually look good or is it the same as regular make-up? Do you really have the healthy, glowing look in the pictures?

Answer 1

I use Bare Minerals every day as my regular makeup but for my wedding, like the others said, you need something with a bit more staying power. It's gotta stay on for close to 12 hrs, though hundreds of hugs, and cover up any last minute pimples you may have gotten with stress.

I used Merle Norman's pancake makeup, with my regular eyeshadow and mascara.

Though I will say, "a bit more". Often brides, b/c they will be center stage and hundreds of pictures will be taken, confuse it with stage makeup and the pictures end up looking like you are some sorta Priscilla Presley. Go heavier than you do for everyday, but not as if you will be on stage.

Answer 2

For my wedding pictures, I didn't wear the sheer minerals. That close to the wedding, I was under so much stress that I needed a bit more coverage (if you get my point). The ladies at the Clinique and Lancome counters fixed me up with a heavy duty foundation, sheer powder, and then helped me highlight my face for the glow.

I did use that makeup (Bare Minerals) in my engagement photos, and I have to say that it didn't give me as great of coverage as I would have liked. I think the light from the flash tends to wash it out, so unless if you have flawless, even skin, you might want to find something a bit heavier.

Answer 3

Unless you have flawless skin, you might want to choose a foundation that has heavier coverage because that will look best in pics.
