Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue

What do you think of this foundation? I tried it a while ago and liked it, but found it didn't last very long on my face.

Re: Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue

I have not tried it yet, but want to try it. I've read a lot of the reviews and I think it will work for me. I am 65, have dry skin & can get away with wearing a light coverage CC cream or tinted moisturizer.  I'm trying not to spend a lot right now on extras as we are remodeling our patio, so I think I'm going to look for a tube of this solo on Ebay or Amazon.

@homedecorator I use BM Complexion Rescue & Love it! I don't consider it a true foundation but it has more coverage that the typical tinted moisturizer. If it doesn't last on you that I would suggest a setting spray or you can use a light application of BM original foundation if you want the same finish. If you have a translucent powder that is not a flat matte & lightly apply it that would be another option. If I apply any kind of powder I use a Rose Water spray mist. HTH

 

I just tuned in to QVC & thats an excellent TSV for the price. That under over finishing powder seems to work well with the Rescue.

It did not work for me. I am oily and it made me very greasy.

I'm 63 with dry skin.  I really like this.  I agree that it doesn't last as long, but a little mineral veil or foundation and it lasts all day.

@AmericanBulldogMom I can see why it would not work on oily skintypes. IMO its more for normal to dry skintypes, combination topped with a setting powder in areas of the t-zone. Have you tried Laura Mercier?

@Kabella Hi! Yes, I have tried both of hers- the regular and the oil free. Both work better for me than BM's but still aren't great on my oily skin in the warm months here.  A few weeks ago I started using PC's Resist Ultra Light 30spf for oily skin based on a few recs. So far so good.

It will lasts about 7 hours if I use a powder over it and sometimes a setting spray. Don't use a primer with it, really not needed.  Actually reapply it on the areas when it starts breaking down. Its very forgivable. Just carry extra one in my purse and apply it like a lotion on the spots needed. Wear it to work and it lasts most of the day.

Re: Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue

I got it in the kit yesterday and I applied and looked like a grease ball.  I applied the over and under powder and still looked greasy.  Not for me.  I thought it was a mouse type and would sink in but it just lays on the skin.
