Review of BE Complexion Rescue

NeNe1010 — Sun, 01 Feb 2015 00:05:36 GMT

Used this for the first & last time today. I got it in The Vanilla shade. It looked good after I put it on but if you are looking for even medium coverage this is not for you. The coverage is light at best. Went about my day & about 3PM looked in the mirror & my face was so shiny! Not dewey- shiny. It also looked like it had darkened by at least a shade. Couldn't wait to get it off. It goes back ASAP.

I on the other hand am completely in love with this stuff!!!! I don't necessarily need heavy full coverage foundation and find this does the job plus it leaves my skin hydrated and dewy looking and it doesn't settle in my fine lines! Finished with a little mineral veil and out the door I go!

I just got this and I really like it as well. No, it's not quite medium coverage, but it's like your skin but better. For me it gave me a healthy look. And with a little mineral veil I was good to go.

NeNe, I had the same experience. Was given a free sample of it. Used a very small bit and it seemed nice for an hour or so, but then I looked in the mirror and my entire face looked crazy shiny, not "dewey." Ick! Into the trash the sample went.

I'm planning to get this when and if it comes in a TSV kit with other goodies. I just can't spend the $45 on this wi the brush knowing that I already have a sheer tinted moisturizer that I love (Andalou Organics BB). But if it ever shows up with a brush, veil and some other BE goodies in a TSV, I'll try it.

I want to try the new Clinique Superprimer instead---lots of great reviews on YOUTUBE.

I tried this yesterday, and I had the same problem -- no coverage, and a shiny face within three hours. Six hours in, I started smelling a funky smell, kind of like stale sweat (which definitely wasn't me). As soon as I removed it, the small disappeared. I'll give it one more chance tomorrow, and if the result is the same, back it goes.

Complexion Rescue feels divine. The coverage is light and weightless on the face. However, I my skintone was somewhere between shades 7 and 8 (with 7 looking a tad ashy and 8 too red), so there was not a good color match for me. This is nothing new, as I always am left out from being able to use BE foundations for this reason.

I too found it to look shiny as well as the color match wasn't that great.

Bought this at Ulta yesterday. Going back. I liked no silicone and parabens and with spf. I got natural (light medium yellow complexion to medium complexion). The color match was okay but applied with some mineral veil and it was greasy looking with pores looking like craters. I used to have oily skin and now it is combination. I hate the dry cakey look but the greasy look is just as bad. Never can get the right look.

BE's CR is really geared for those that do not want anything more than a light coverage and lean more on the dry skin side. I can understand why those with oily or even combo skins might not feel it's a good fit for their skin as well as those who really want and/or need medium or heavier coverage.

I prefer as light a coverage as possible - just a gentle blending and evening of my skin works great and the dewy finish never appears shiny on my very dry skin. I think the last time anything appeared shiny as me was when I was in high school - have always had dry skin.

At least CR offers more shade selections than just about any other line sold here (most brands sold on QVC have 5 choices at most, with the bulk all having yellow undertones) And even compared to many BB and CC creams, CR offers a much greater color choice.

It is always good to see reviews on both sides of the spectrum however as it helps those who are debating if they might want to try it or not. I feel it is important to see both the positives and negatives. I have discovered, ironically through some of the more negative reviews, that a product would actually be a good choice for me because I am looking for all those factors that other users have not liked (very minimal coverage, really dewy finish, etc.)

@Mrsq2022, this will be in a TSV kit in May.

@jazzbabe Thank you - I've ordered it and cannot wait! I love this product and am thrilled that it is in a TSV . I like it with a little dab of concealer on spots that need more coverage. Looks like I have perfect skin naturally...Which I certainly do not!

I am tempted but will need to go to a store to scope out the shades. I have a hunch that like Trixi I will be between shades.

Wow! Thanks for all the reviews ladies! I too feel it's important to hear both sides - the good, bad and ugly of any product. I'm in love with 100% Pure Second Skin right now, but this sounds like a well-suited product for my dry skin. I'll keep my eyes peeled for the May TSV!

I agree-it offers so little coverage!

I've also tried it. Very little, if any, coverage and my skin was supper greasy looking a couple of hours later....and I have dry skin....
