This is a
new product from bareMinerals and I received a free sample with a purchase at
Sephora. It claims to hydrate, replenish, and energize skin and leave skin with
a dewy, healthy-looking glow. My skin is on the drier side so I thought this
would be a good fit for days when I want lighter coverage. It also has an SPF
of 30.
The sample
came in a booklet with four different shades: 02 Vanilla, 05 Natural, 07 Tan
and 09 Chestnut. I went with 02 Vanilla as I have a very light complexion. The
consistency was a gel-mousse like texture. It was definitely light coverage for
me and was not buildable. I layered more product on and the look did not
change. That’s okay though, since it is a tinted cream I did not expect medium
to full coverage. The color was too dark for me even though it’s the second
color option in the range. It did make me look like I had a very nice tan
though so the color would be a good option for the summer or if I self-tanned.
It
definitely gives a dewy look (read: oily) when first applied. I decided to give
it a few minutes to absorb into my skin and set. After a little while my skin
still looked very oily so I used an oil blotting sheet. The sheet did not
remove the oil look, but did remove some of the product (this has never
happened with any other makeup I use). Throughout the day this product remained
oily-looking which was disappointing. It wore very well and I really did like
how tan it made me look, but I was not impressed. I looked like an oil slick
all day and I am very, very rarely oily. My forehead looked like I basted
myself in olive oil.
The
Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream wasn’t a total disaster, but this
product is a pass for me. Maybe it would work better for someone with a
different skin type or complexion.
