What Is Sheer Coverage?
Sheer coverage means base products that let skin show through—tinted moisturizer, skin tint, or light foundation for a natural look.
Sheer coverage evens out tone slightly while looking like skin. It's ideal for no-makeup makeup, clean girl, and everyday wear. Buildable products can be applied lightly for sheer effect.
Tips
- Use fingers or a damp sponge for a skin-like finish. Layer only where you need more coverage.
