Hi Everyone, Quick update as I tend to do after trying the product for a considerable length of time.....Unfortunately I've had to stop using both of these products as they started to break me out in skin congestion. I'm sure this is down to the coconut derivatives which tend to be my kryptonite. Such a shame as the products are both lovely, even if the Complexion Rescue Gel is slightly temperamental. Hope this update helps xxx

I have crazy dry/dehydrated skin and I bought this stick foundation in 1.5 birch last week. I made the mistake of also buying the physicians formula healthy skin foundation and I happened to use that one first and I’m absolutely in love with that one. It blends in so well and looks just like my own skin. It stays on all day and doesn’t look cakey or patchy on my dry spots. Both foundations have shades that match me perfectly which is really nice, I just need to really try out the bareminerals and give it a chance which I haven’t done yet.

The bareminerals complexion rescue gel is my favorite summer foundation. I usually cover it with the bareminerals mineral powder, and set it with setting spray, it lasts all day, and its natural. I have dry, mature skin, and use a sponge to apply. I haven't use the stick yet. Sticks tend to be more powdery with most foundations, and don't last as long because you need more to apply. After this review I may try the stick, it seems more convenient. Thanks for the review!

I can highly recommend both for very dry and as well as eczema- and rosacea-prone skin. I always had a dry and very sensitive skin that nonetheless looked beautiful, luckily no needs for heavy foundation. But within the last year I developed a light rosacea and therefore felt uncomfortable with the red spots and all that stuff related to this issue. I then tried a lot of stuff (definitely NO full coverage foundations for me at all, these look awful on my skin!) and finally discovered the tinted moisturiser. It doesn’t irritate my skin or worsen my rosacea and does look like my skin, but better and evened out. I use it together with the BM serum concealer on the spots where I need more coverage. Here in Germany, the stick foundation has been released at the beginning of April and I immediately got it and have worn it since. I love this product so so much, it gives me just the coverage I need and feels really hydrating and lightway on my face! And thankfully no irritation or further problems for my skin - when I use a wrong product, my skin immediately breaks out and worsens. So thumbs up for this!

@Kati do you find it hard to get it to stay on your nose? I have slight redness too and was wondering about this issue. I cannot get anything to look good on my nose! 😕
@katia.72005 жыл бұрын
@ Deetzah: I have no problems with the staying power. I dust my face slightly with powder to set everything and it stays very long and well. But even my t-zone is very dry and I think that helps everything to stay in place. A friend of mine has an oily t-zone and she uses a mattifying and oil-controlling primer to help her foundation stay longer. Perhaps that may help you as well (if it’s an oily t-zone that makes your foundation break up). If this is the problem, I can highly recommend KZbinr Nikkia Joy - she is an expert for oily skin and has many recommendations for staying power. Even if you don’t have oily or combination skin, her content may help you with you issues.

And you couldn't have had a better shade match, if you tried. Both looked lovely but, I could see what you were talking about with the gel and your dry spots. I could never get by with a tinted moisturizer, even one that built up to light foundation. Great video, as usual. Thanks so much. 💜

I have both the complexion rescue stick and the gel. The stick looks beautiful on my normal to dry skin but it DOES NOT LAST. Same experience for me - after three hours my nose is shiny even with setting powder and the coverage has vanished. The gel lasts longer particularly if set with Mineral Veil but it does settle into fine lines. The stick I use for travel and the gel I use for a light coverage for days where I’m being casual. I really like them both, but they aren’t my go to foundations when I want to look particularly polished.

Hi Gemma! I love your videos! I’ve had the stick foundation for just over a month now. Bare minerals original is my holy grail, but I was intrigued by the prospect of quicker application with the stick. I have to say the stick gave me flawless, dewy skin. So much so I thought I found my new holy grail. After a month of using it, I have had numerous bumps and breakouts all over my face! Nooooooo!!!! I cleanse my face religiously at night. I am so disappointed that it’s not working. Another negative for me is the amount of product. I use three small swipes on my each side of my face. (Forehead, cheek, jaw) This won’t last two months. I’ve switched back to my trusty original powder, even though application takes a bit longer. Flawless finish, and lasts forever!

It very low coverage so I kind of used that as a primer under one of my foundations and it seemed ok like that. I’m going to try it a few ways you had suggested but if it keeps giving me a hard time applying I might end up returning it. I did buy the Tarte foundcealer and I seem to like it so far but my holy grail is still the physicians formula healthy foundation. The maybelline cc cream just came to the states so I’ve definitely got to try that out!! I may have to mix two to get the right shade but I’m also going to use the very fair shade to mix with my IT cosmetics cc+ cream to lighten it up bc the IT cc lightest shade in fair is still a tad bit too dark so hopefully thy will work out for me!

Okay, so this thread is really interesting. I have tried both and thought they were awful! No matter what method I used, the stick just kept sliding across my skin; I had even bought the suggested applicator which I found to be less than useless. I returned the stick and was offered the rescue in exchange; not much better tbh, although I did manage to get it to blend over my cheeks etc, I had to remove it from my forehead where it looked like polka dot pores and my eyebrows were caked. I removed it from there and just used bronzer to cover that area. I'm going to try mixing it with another foundation to see if I can get it to perform better, but overall, seriously unimpressed! Won't be buying again. ☹😞😔

Hi Gemma, I have been following your channel for a year now and love it! I love the content but most important I feel that I can relate. Finally a beauty channel for us girls in our late 30's. I haven't been talkative so far but really I have been following a lot of your make up tips and it has made a great difference. I wanted to ask you, what is the deal with those dry patches? I never had them until a couple of months ago. Is it because of age? How do you deal with them? My skin has been dehydrated from time to time but never dry. I have normal skin with a bit oiliness on my T zone so those dry patches next to my lips were quite a surprise. Hope to hear from you...and by the way, I love your eyebrows lately, they look very natural. Did you change something? Love and hugs from Amsterdam ;)

Hi Konstantina....Fabulous name BTW. I put my dry patches down to hormonal changes and the medication that I'm on for my skin. My skin changes so drastically from day to day so it isn't unusual for me....however I don't usually have dry cheeks xxx

I’m dying to try the stick one. Is there a type of primer you think it would or wouldn’t work with? Thanks!!

I'm not keen on primers Wendy, but one of the other Pack members might be able to recommend one for you xxx
