COMPLEXION RESCUE Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream

This looks kind of like tinted Vaseline. It has little coverage to start out with and then fades after a couple of hours. You need nice skin to wear this. All of your imperfections are visible. But if you have nice skin, why bother with this anyway? Save your money.

As much as I love my heavy foundations for evenings or events, this is a dream for everyday wear. This has a very lightweight formula but evens the skin out beautifully and create a smooth texture appearance. It makes the skin look incredibly healthy and although it is a hydrating product with a matte primer and some powder it lasts very well on my skin.
It is very comfortable for everyday …Read more

I actually bought this almost 2 years ago in 5.5 Bamboo and hated it! It dried my skin out and made me look tired and emphasized any texture on my face. Fast forward to present and I bought it again in 1.5 Birch and this time it was wow! I only tried it again because it had such great reviews and one makeup artist said if you buy the wrong shade you will hate it- I had bought the complete wrong …Read more

Overall I really like this product and I'm glad I tried it. It gives exactly the amount of coverage I want: somewhere between light and medium, veering on light. It's definitely not entirely sheer, and with concealer it's perfect. The finish is kind of dewy/satiny but it plays well with setting powder (actually my HG is the Bare Minerals mineral veil but I've also used it with …Read more

Excellent light coverage and moisturiser. I have decent skin (no breakouts since accutane) with some blotchy redness and find this is just the right amount of everyday coverage.

PRO: applies beautifully with a buffing brush and gives me light-medium coverage that is very natural and pretty looking. it has a glow but is not shinny. I really like the texture and amount of moisture (I am …Read more

When I don't have the time to apply a separate SPF and then foundation, this is what I reach for...provided my skin is reasonably clear! If not then I use a heavier coverage foundation because even though it is buildable, I cannot get anything more than light-medium coverage from it with 2 applications, any more than that doesn't build it up any further. The texture threw me off at …Read more

This gel cream starts out great, with beautiful coverage initially. It's a nice glowy, natural light-medium coverage at first and dries fairly quickly. However, I notice my face tends to 'eat' this up and it does not provide anything close to the same type of coverage after just 4-5 hours. Since this is a tinted moisturizer, I don't like to put anything on underneath, but …Read more

After many years of battering my face with full coverage matte foundations, I found myself bored with the flat matte mask like look.
I've always shied away from more natural/dewy foundations because I'd convinced myself my own skin wasn't good enough not to have coverage by the bucket load on.
Anyway, craving a different makeup routine I did a little research and came …Read more

I just recently purchased this & I am in love. Exactly what I wanted sheer, light, & promotes a more even tone. It gives you a sheer glowy coverage. It makes my skin look youthful & awake. I love that it also gives a mineral SPF protection. It has a creamy texture that blends in easily with your fingers. A little goes a long way; the product should last for a while. I have some light …Read more

Beautiful, light and hydrating. I have dry and sensitive skin and this is a godsend. It gives a dewy, Korean BB cream-esque finish. Almost makes it look like you have highlighter on the high points of your face. It holds up perfectly throughout the day without powder, however I sometimes top it up a bit around 7-8 hours or so. I have acne scarring and it perfectly covers the scars and any redness …Read more
