I try not to wear makeup for long periods of time and I don’t bother on the weekends. I haven’t seen this happen but then again, I get home and I clean my face immediately. I also hear from other reviews that during the course of the day, it slides off your face because you need some sort of finishing powder to set it. I think it would be fine on dry or normal skinned folks to leave it as is, but I need to set it with my Makeup Forever HD Microfinish Powder to get rid of the shine, and to make sure it doesn’t slide off my face. People call this dewy, but oily-skinned girls like myself would say: oil slick. It sort of leaves a bit of a shine on the face. I’d also need a moisturizer with SPF without silicones (STILL LOOKING FOR THIS) underneath to be sure… DEWY OR JUST OILY?

If I went with a light layer, the SPF would be spotty in areas and not very effective. It is SPF 30 but to properly apply SPF without having to put another layer of it elsewhere, you need to put on a thick layer.Ī thick layer of foundation is not really my jam but if I want this to do double-duty as an SPF and as a foundation, I need to put on 2 pea-sized amounts all over my face, which is a heck of a lot of foundation. So I thought I’d start with the low points first. THE BAD ABOUT THE BAREMINERALS COMPLEXION RESCUE GEL/CREAM

What I needed was a BB cream that is from bareMinerals and that is pretty much what this product ended up being.

This one has SPF 20 and is a nice matte finish when I buff it on my skin but it makes my skin feel a little itchy afterwards because the powder (methinks) is too dry.Īnyway it is messy and a lot of work to buff in, but I did it because I had no other non-silicone alternative until now. No SPF however, but the main problem is this one is chockfull of silicones because every time I put it on, I break out in little tiny pimples or I see that I have little white bumps (a sign of clogged pores). I LOVE LOVE LOVE this BB cream from Japan, because the texture and the colour is incredible. I had 2 foundations I was waffling back and forth on: Of course a few ingredients in there are not exactly natural ( s qualane), but I am at the point where I need to wear makeup to work or weddings for a polished look and I am being a little flexible these days on my rules. No where in this entire list, does it list anything with “cone” at the end, most commonly Dimethicone.Īnything with “cone” at the end is a kind of silicone and I ALWAYS break out.

I have been checking and checking all over the place and then I read the ingredients in this BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Gel/Cream:

Available in my skin tone (golden tones underneath).I picked it up on a whim because I have been desperately searching for a great foundation with all of the following characteristics: I just happened across this foundation in Sephora when I was out with Baby Bun (who loves Sephora by the way, he goes around closing all the compacts and trying to snatch all the lip colours and eye pencils out to play with).
