bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream SPF 30

Great product, I’ve used this product since it was introduced on QVC. It feels light and amazing on my skin. At 56 I have very nice skin I only use this foundation and powder and I never feel bad when I don’t wash my face because it’s all good for my skin.

The bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer blends like a dream, feels like silk, and offers light-to-medium coverage that somehow manages to look like skin — just better. It moisturizes without clogging pores, has SPF for daily protection, and adds a healthy glow without being greasy. Ideal for those no-makeup makeup days when you want to look alive but not caked. Bonus: it doesn’t melt off after two hours like some other tinted moisturizers. A keeper.

Winter shade I purchased is buttercream for my pale warm skin tone. Exactly what I was looking for. I’m 46 and my skin has become mostly dry but after a few hours my face looks dull and has a bit too much oil under my eyes so that my eye make up can start to run buuut if I put powder under my eyes the skin becomes very wrinkly looking and too dry. (It’s a lovely phase of life.) This gel/cream -I’d call it a light cream- is as good as it gets if you want a lighter, natural coverage with moderate to nearly heavy moisturization. I can put some powder under my eyes and it stays smooth with no dryness or oiliness. This never looks cakey at all anywhere on my face. The perfect description is dewy and radiant. It minimizes redness but doesn’t cover every flaw. If full coverage is what a woman is looking for you won’t be happy with this. I like to leave some of my own complexion showing through most days so for me this coverage is perfect. I also wanted a lighter feel and a higher spf for outdoor activity. It’s excellent. Anything with spf usually burns my eyes at one point or another while wearing, ruining my day, this doesn’t at all! I seriously hope they keep making this exact formulation forever! It’s perfect the way it is. I use it nearly every morning as a moisturizer even if I’m not putting on a full face of make up and depending if I need to go anyplace later in the day and how made up I need to be I may put on another layer (which adds a little more coverage). This is the MOST usable item in my make up bag. I love it!

My skin breaks out if you look at it harshly and the only foundation I've been able to wear that doesn't cause breakouts is mineral foundation. As I age (I'm 53) I'm finding that even my light application of powder is highlighting those smile lines around my eyes. I decided to try this liquid mineral foundation to see if it would help with that issue.I'm fairly pale skinned, with lots of pink and blue undertones. I vacillated back and forth between Opal and Vanilla before deciding to go for Vanilla.The vanilla was just a tiny bit too dark and a tiny bit too yellow to be a perfect match, but because the coverage is light the color is very forgiving and was workable. I like it enough that I'm ordering the Opal and will blend the two together to get a better shade match.The SPF 30 felt fine. Many products with added SPF leave a noticeable texture on my face that I don't like. Powder mineral has the SPF w/o that icky feel, and this liquid was the same. SPF with no icky feeling. Also, no breakouts, which is why I'm also ordering the Opal.It did seem to work better with my smile lines. They're still there, but not accented by the makeup. Just part of me, which is exactly what I want them to be :)

I can't express how much I love this product. BareMinerals has always been a sort of hit and miss for me. This product exceeded all of my expectations, it's actually the first makeup that I buy back-ups of. I have fairly persistent acne problems (I'm 25), it has always been an issue finding a product that I can wear to look like I gave a crap about myself without looking like I was covered in makeup (light but durable coverage has always been an issue). One of my friends recommended it to me, well went passed recommending and was raving about how amazing it is. I was happy to comply, she has flawless skin. I rarely wear actual foundation, concealer, or powder anymore, unless I'm going out somewhere I've got to tart myself up a bit. I noticed a change in my bare facial complexion within days. My skin brightened up, my acne is pretty much eliminated (has no alcohol, benzo, other acne treatments in it), and my skin was noticeably soft and hydrated. Initially when I first began wearing it, I would use two layers (because of my acne), I now use what I would consider about half of a layer, very minimal coverage. For longer wear, I recommend adding an extra layer than you usually would. Something I really love about it is when you put it on, it has a kind of cooling feeling, and with this less really is more as far as application goes. When layering, allow to completely absorb into skin before applying an extra layer (for longer wear). Or you can always totally just touch up later, I just usually never have time once I'm out the door to get near a mirror or sneak off for a couple of minutes. I was able to hydrate my skin (had to day/night because of my acne treatments that would dry out my skin), without having to use daily moisturizer. I know it is a little pricey, the product on here is actually less than BareMinerals the last time I checked, but if you want to give it a shot and decide that it isn't quite the product for you, I highly recommend keeping it on hand and using it for beach days or situations like that when you may want a lighter coverage that has SPF included. When the product first launched, they hand't released a full range of colors yet. If you're unsure if this is the right shade for you, I recommend visiting the BareMinerals website, they have a color chart. I went on there and then just came on here and searched for the specific shade I was matched with there. Last I checked in, they have at least 25 listed. One last thing worth mentioning, I don't wear mine with powder, but the friend that recommended it does her entire facial makeup routine (blush, translucent powder) with hers and it looks great still.

Really good if you don't want to look like you have makeup on. Smooths over skin easily.
