I am and have always been a massive fan of BareMinerals. I know for a fact that it has made such a huge difference to my skin and I am all for a make up brand whose main ethos is to first and foremost look after your skin. So when I saw that they came out with a new base product, I couldn’t wait to get my hand on one. Luckily my boyfriend was recently on a business trip in the US and was willing to venture out to Sephora for me (BM Complexion Rescue will only be available in the UK in April and let’s face it I couldn’t wait that long).
The Conplexion Rescue is supposed to sit somewhere between a BB or CC cream and a tinted moisturiser. It’s very ligh weight and completely disappears into the skin so in a way it also feels like a moisturiser to me because once you put it on your skin instantly feels super hydrated. The Complexion Rescue is in no way a foundation and so if you are looking for a good coverage you won’t get it from this product. What it does however is improve and brighten your complexion, making it look and feel like what healthy skin is suppose to be naturally.
The consistency of this product is pretty much what you would get if you manually mix your foundation with your moisturiser. It has a texture of a gel or light moisturiser with pigment of colour in it. In terms of colour match I got mine in Ginger 06 and it matches my skin colour perfectly (FYI I’m using ‘Golden Medium’ in the Original mineral powder foundation, and ‘Bare Nude’ in the Bare Skin foundation).
As I mentioned this product does not really give you any coverage so what I’ve been doing is dusting a bit of MAC Studio Fix powder on top using my beloved Bobbi Brown Sheer Powder brush and this give me enough coverage while still retaining that healthy brightening effect from the complexion rescue. The two products just work so well together and the finish is so lightweight and comfortable on the skin, absolutely stunning and last all day. Not to mention this routine takes no time at all so it has been my absolute go to at the moment.
