Re: Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Duo

I'm pretty fair and skintone I usually stick with neutral.  The first time I tried it I purchased the Opal, this time I'm going for the Vanilla, but I think the Birch 1.5 would also be a good choice.

 

Here are products I normally wear:

L'Oreal Infallible 24 - #415 (rosey beige?)

L'Oreal True Match N2 Classic Ivory

L'Oreal True Match Lumi N1-2 Neutral (soft ivory)

Clinique Even Better CN02 (Breeze)

Chanel it was a rosey beige shade

What a great product and you can't even find a drugstore product for this price.

 

I tried it years ago and liked it, but I needed a different shade.  Now it's available, I need something lightweight with good SPF, so I ordered it.  Yay!


 

 

This one is a drugstore dupe for $5.50. Comes in 5 shades.

 


I'm not sure the weight of this, but I typically don't like BBs or CCs, I find them way too heavy for my skin.  Also, are they cruelty-free and clean beauty now?  I know Bare Minerals is, except their parent company is not.

No Maybelline is NOT cruelty free but elf and covergirl is and they have similar products.

Re: Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Duo

I am light neutral and wear the vanilla. I do have to really make sure it is blended at the jaw line because it is a little peachy but overall it works well then just add concealer.

@RainyDayGal  @kathie66  @ccassaday  Thank you.  Since I've never ordered this before I  really appreciate all the info about your skintones and shades. I ordered Bamboo, light/medium, it's on waitlist, my fingers are crossed I receive it.

I ended up choosing Bamboo too.
