Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue

smileshannon · ‎03-09-2010

I put this on and it balls up on me. anyone else have this problem? Yesterday I put it on with Kate Somerville Wrinkle warrior serum under it so I thought that was why. today, I didn't have anything under it and it still balled up. If I can't layer things with it, it's kind of useless. Advice please.

I don't have a problem with it doing that.

I have that problem with other products, but generally it's due to not letting each layer dry completely (and in humid weather it takes longer).

Sometimes I think it means that you need to exfoliate.

I pretty good with my skincare and exfoliate often. If that were the case, it would happen with every foundation I use.

With BM Complexion Rescue, I don't use a beauty blender but it might work for you. Have you tryed it? @smileshannon

No I haven't. That's a good suggestion @Kabella

Yes I have had the problem. I find when I use sunblock -- Neutrogena Pure Baby that its a bit of a mess. I know Bare Minerals has spf but I am very fair and the sun is very strong where I am. I have good success with Neutrogena gel moisturizer-- the one in the blue jar-- and also Josie Maran argan oil as a base layer. Let the oil dry-- a good twenty minutes and you should be set.

It did this to me when I used the over under primer UNDER. It wasn't pretty. I've tried this stuff 3 ways now and I'm just not thrilled. The way that worked best for me was to apply Complexion Rescue on dry skin. No moisturizer (even though I'm dry). The over under primer stuff over that just makes me have this muddy tinge, like a sick bronzer. I'm pretty fair so I don't want that, it just looks odd on me.

Also, they said the coverage was buildable and I do not find that to be true at all. It's weird, it just does nothing for my skin. There's no blurring, zero coverage, it's like I never applied anything. Well, until I put the powder stuff on. I can't believe they chose that color for everyone.
