| Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Creme - 06 Ginger |
I've been using the Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Gel Creme (could've come up with a longer name eh?) for a few months now and wanted to share my thoughts on it :)
I wasn't too sure whether this would be a good purchase for me initially as I have oily skin, but I'd been looking out for a lightweight cc cream style of base, just something light for everyday use. I've previously used the bare minerals powder foundation and wasn't very impressed - does anyone else feel like it takes foreverrr to apply for little coverage?! Anyway, after finding it online with a few pounds off I decided to try the brand out again.
I went for the colour 06 Ginger which is a great match for my fake tan, the shade range is pretty easy to choose from too with all undertones clearly stated on their website if you need some help deciding on a shade. The only problem with going for a sheer foundation (which I would definitely say this is, if you're looking for a medium to full this won't be the product for you!) is that the colour tends to look better when my face tanned too. I normally like to apply it with a buffing brush for a little extra coverage, or my hands which is quick and easy. Both ways blend out the foundation nicely though and i'm not left with any streaks. It does cover everything that I want it to cover nicely, the redness on my cheeks being my main problem area, but I do have pretty good skin and don't tend to lean towards full coverage foundations!

I really love the packaging for this foundation too, the squeeze tube is just so convenient for on the go, travelling and is super quick and easy for those mornings when you're rushing round do-lalley and don't have much time to fuss over makeup!
So like I said before, I wasn't too sure if I would like this product as it does have a more natural/dewy finish and I have oily/combo skin (basically a very oily tzone and normal on the outer perimeter.) This was one of the main reasons however why I wanted to post about it because I feel like most reviews online are from those with drier skin.
I'm surprised to say I actually really like it! With any foundation I have to blot my t-zone throughout the day and this was no different, it's not an oil controlling product but I find that okay as I don't look like a total greaseball after hours of wear, a little blotting and powdering touch ups and it looks fab again :) I do want to mention though that whenever I first put it on I don't think it looks like anything special, but once i've finished my makeup it makes my skin look fab, very radiant, natural and glow-y without looking sweaty y'know? Whenever I wear this product I always use my favourite primers (either the Nyx Angel Veil or Smashbox Pore Minimizing), set it with some powder and finish off with a setting spray to add to the longevity, but I do do this with every foundation I use. I also think it doesn't look too oily by the end of the day because it's very hydrating and my skin doesn't feel the need to produce as much oil.

Oh and I also love that it has SPF30 in it, another added bonus for an everyday foundation, particularly because I use retinol skincare products which makes my skin more sensitive to sunlight!
Will I be purchasing this product again? Most likely! The only thing stopping me from saying absolutely is that I want to try out the new Nars Matte cc cream next haha, but if that doesn't work out i'll be right back to using the complexion rescue gel creme :)
I can't remember exactly where I bought mine, it was either look fantastic or feel unique.com (they always seem to have the best deals on bare minerals products in general!)
