bareMinerals COMPLEXION RESCUE Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream

I agree with some other reviewers when they say WOW this is beautiful and but gave me a reaction. I have super dry skin so i wanted something moisturising but without chemical sunscreen. This is a sheer to medium coverage. I wore this in the shade natural and it looked beautiful on my skin. I used their new concealer and then built this up with a slight dusting of setting powder and I never looked so radiant and natural. But the inevitable happened. For starters it didn't last long....5 hours and wore off in the most obvious places. Then came the reaction all over my chin and around my nose. It was almost like dermatitis rather than pimples....a rash of sorts. Soooooo bummed. Wonder what people are reacting to in this product?!?!?!

My Shade: Vanilla 02
Other shades that work for me: TF BTW Porcelain, EL Doublewear 1N2, MAC C1.

I cannot rave enough about this product! It is the perfect lightweight, light coverage, natural looking base. I simply apply a little over primer, spread with my fingers, then blend with a beauty blender. I have no issues with this product caking, streaking or applying patchy. It gives me lovely light coverage, covering any redness or discolouration, but allowing my natural skin to shine through. It makes your skin look flawless. It also gives the skin a lovely radiant glow. Other makeup sits well on top of it (e.g. blush, highlight) and it has worked with both mattifying and hydrating primers. I love that this has SPF 30, so it is great for use in the Summer. It lasts well through the heat and humidity, and I have no issues with it fading off or separating throughout the day. It is very reasonably priced and is great value for money. I have raved about this to no end, and turned a few friends onto it also. This product is perfect for those who love lightweight, natural looks. If you have a desire for high coverage, then this will not be for you. This is absolutely one of the best tinted moisturisers that I have ever tried. I am so happy I have found this, and will definitely be using it for a long time.

I like this, *when my skin is clear*. It doesn't have the coverage I need when my skin is acting up. With that said, it's a nice product. I'm oily and this is comfortably hydrating. It blends in very easily with finger tips and looks super natural. Doesn't emphasize my texture or pores. It's an easy, no fuss product. It can be matted down with some powder. I'd like it a lot more if my breakouts weren't around.

I was on the quest for a silicone-free tinted moisturizer for every day wear, and I stumbled upon this in Sephora. The coverage is decent for a tinted moisturizer and the oxidization isn’t the worst I’ve seen (looking at you It Cosmetics), but holy fuck this makes me look so much older than I am. I have oily skin, but this makes me look very crusty/musty/dusty. It settles into my laugh lines and separates despite setting with powder. I think I might buy it again just for the fact that it’s cone free, until I get a better cone free alternative. Until that, I think I’m going to go back to the Laura Mercier Tinted Oil tree moisturizer.

I wanted to love this. It made my skin look amazing... Until I broke out. Every. Single. Time I used this.

I'm not a heavy make up girl. Mostly because acne. My dream is to not NEED to wear any at all. To keep the "are you tired?", "are you sick?", "You look like you have been crying, are you ok?", "did you not sleep well last night?" questions at bay, I use this tinted moisturizer. It's just enough coverage to even out my skin and not so heavy that it smears off on clothes. If I am attending an event that warrants more coverage, I usually layer another coat on. It doesn't leave my face oily/shiny. And it also has an SPF 30.

I’m on accutane and was looking for a truly hydrating tinted moisturizer and this is it. I’ve tried many and this is the only one whilst on accutane that actually moisturizes and has a faint coverage. Not enough to cover acne but decent for normal skin. It does cling to flakes but don’t forget I have snakes skin right now so normal people would absolutely love this stuff.

This product saved me. I have super fair skin with pink undertones AND sensitive. I can't handle fragrance or chemical SPF. This combination made it impossible for me to find a foundation that doesn't irritate my skin and matches my skin tone & undertone - I've been trying for well over a year. I can of course use a white mixer which I've been doing but the texture was never great.

Then I found this product. It didn't irritate my skin. I love that it has mineral SPF. It would be better if it was SPF-free actually but if there will be, mineral is perfect. Because it has sheer coverage and has a decent color selection, it works well on my skin. I stopped looking for a foundation. This is enough if you're OK with sheer coverage. REALLY sheer. Not Nars Sheer coverage foundation kind of "said to be sheer but actually has medium coverage" sheer. It doesn't cover my freckles or blemishes but just makes my complexion look healthier and brighter.

I hope bareMinerals never stops making it!

I loved this tinted moisturizer, I loved how it felt, the coverage, and the glow it added. Because of those things, I used almost the entire tube, but every time I used it it made me break out. So unfortunately, I can't buy it again.

This can be used as a sheet foundation or under other foundations. I use it alone and enjoy that it gives me plenty of conerage with no drying of my skin.
