BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream SPF30 - #3.5 Cashew 35ml/1.18oz

I have reordered this so many times in different shades depending on the time of year and I love it!! My skin has trouble absorbing certain creams, serums etc. but drinks this up! There are many times when all I need to do is wear this with some mascara and I’m good to go. I find that in the summer, this is my look, and I don’t need much in the way of any other foundations, concealers or powders. This gives me a nice “glow” and covers up minimal blemishes in my skin (for significant blemishes you will need to use concealer or a thicker foundation). This doesn’t sit on top of my skin, it gets absorbed in very nicely and leaves my skin feeling very nourished and soft! I’ve even “slept” in this and haven’t felt gross in the morning, with a severe need to wash my face (although I do not advise sleeping in any “makeup”). I adjust the color based on time of year, and sometimes use a powder on top to set it and give myself more of a matte look if I don’t want a dewy look. It’s very light, and a little goes a long way! I also don’t need to layer this with other foundations etc. and would advise against too many layers of makeup, as it then defeats this tinted moisturizers purpose. Color is also so close to my skin color, that it didn’t make it difficult to find colorways that worked for my skin tone. Very pleased with this product, it is my constant!

I’m not sure what I thought when I bought this. I was expecting my skin but better however that’s sort of not the case. The color match is perfect however, when I blend it in it disappears and not in a flattering way. I’ve found that using a beauty blender works better for me personally vs using a brush or my fingers. Super lightweight and light coverage. It doesn’t settle into my fine lines or wrinkles. I can’t really answer about what it does for the texture of my skin as I’ve had to add a 2nd layer to get the type of coverage I prefer for my rosey cheeks; that’s usually where I place the 2nd layer. The texture of this isn’t runny nor is it too thick. When I place a bit on the back of my hand when I apply, it doesn’t run so it makes application easier.

My favorite lightweight, sheer foundation re[placement.

I have been using this for years. I love the moisturizer and slight glow it leaves. Good color. Nice texture. Not sticky at all. Blends into skin.

It's expensive, but as they say, I'm worth it. I was looking for help with my aging skin, and am happy with how my face looks better with the right makeup. It's semi sheer, and just right to blend the tones after I use a correcting stick for age spots and dark circles. I start with a moisturizer, and end with a pass of powdered blush over the shiny bits.
