    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

      Pampered Wolf hi Gemma, I was wondering if you had tried the Bobbi Brown stick foundation? I am looking to get a stick foundation but can’t decide between bare minerals or Bobbi Brown 🤔

    • @pamelabalamela
      @pamelabalamela 4 роки тому

      Sarah D Bobbi brown one is really sheer and works better for people with normal to oily skin.

    I just bought these two products in vanilla. I use the gel all over & stick in the center areas of my face for more coverage. I love it ❤️ finally found something I can do everyday without it being full cakey foundation. Gives a nice natural glow too

      Betsy art designs ! I brought yesterday the gel one it’s suits me so much ,,, i have very dry skin,,but in the center of my nose i have redness it didn’t cover this area ,,do i think i will buy the stick to cover this area ,,,,thank you for the good idea

    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.

  • @TheMotormouthmomma
    @TheMotormouthmomma 5 років тому +10

    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!

  • @ladyduce00
    @ladyduce00 5 років тому +8

    @bron1236 5 років тому +7

    I love the Complexion Rescue Gel...it was what I wore to work when I had a bad reaction to a face wash (burnt off a layer of skin 😕), was so moisturising for my poor skin & now I use it on “no makeup days” 😊
    Great video as usual. Cheers Bron

  • @themerz6982
    @themerz6982 5 років тому +5

    Love both of these foundations. The Rescue however is tricky. Kinda have it down but the stick has been much more consistent. I keep grabbing it & the gel has moved to the back of my drawer. I like them because my skin is always better after using them. IDK why exactly. I wouldn't say they are perfect but they are the ones I use most often & have replaced. TY! You are fun to watch. Enjoy your reviews.

  • @frizzy344
    @frizzy344 5 років тому +4

    Thanks Gemma, I was relieved that you didn’t hate the stick because I just purchased it! I have very dry skin so I always make sure and moisturize and because I live in Florida I always wear an SPF under my makeup and let it settle in before I put on makeup. Congratulations on your kids not getting into a row before you finished your video....you are adorable!

    Always helpful and thanks for the tip about the application of the original CR. I guess I was applying with my fingers and honestly I hardly reach for it because results were not great on my mature skin. I battle keeping foundation under my nose and on my nose, still have oily areas and 62, crazy! I am going to try and apply like you did and will see how it goes along with the BM powder which I have.

  • @dsch3241
    @dsch3241 5 років тому +3

    I have both. I have very dry mature skin and am very picky with my foundations,. Most foundations don’t work on my skin, but I am pretty pleased with the stick foundation. I do have to lightly set the foundation and use Morphe setting spray ( it supposedly doesn’t have alcohol in it)

    You know I ALWAYS love foundation videos that you do! Always awesome! I personally need something that is a little more coverage but, I was really impressed at how beautiful the stick looked. 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. 💜

  • @katia.7200
    @katia.7200 5 років тому +17

    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!

    • @Deetzah
      @Deetzah 5 років тому +2

      @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.7200
      @katia.7200 5 років тому +2

      @ 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 UA-camr 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.

  • @YarnJourneysMelanie
    @YarnJourneysMelanie 5 років тому +2

    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.

    @KFK8128 5 років тому +1

    Having combination skin, I tried the Complexion Rescue Gel + Original Powder Foundation once in bareminerals boutique (considering replacement of Prime Time). However, my skin became sticky less than 1 hour. My pores become enlarged and shiny after several hours. Complexion Rescue Defense Radiant Protective Veil also goes on kind of sticky. These new products might be good for winter and dry skin.

  • @celestebell2070
    @celestebell2070 5 років тому +1

    I find the stick to feel and wear as you did. It's creamy and provides more coverage without building. It is going fast, however. It won't last 30 days.

    Have been wearing Bamboo shade for 2 years, 2 tubes finished , loved how easy it is and the claimed pros. Checking shade, planning to repurchase, put it on my arm, it turns pinkish quickly, not how it is when applied. Then realised that’s why I often felt my face and neck didn’t match. Not gonna bother buying it ever again. Back to the mission of searching for decent tinted moisturiser again.

  • @melissarainey.9868

    I love the natural SPF in BareMinerals! .... I tried a sample of the Complexion Rescue gel and it didn't impress me much... My skin is normal with a rare dry patch occasionally. The cooling effect was nice but I struggled with even coverage. (That was most likely user error as I rarely use anything other than powder foundations) ... Thanks for another great video.

I ve already got the gel but I think buy the stick just to add more coverage only on the area I ve got sun damages.

    I love foundation videos so I'm happy to hear more are coming soon. You looked beautiful in both products but I liked the stick a bit better. Too bad they didn't wear longer. Thanks for the video. I haven't used a stick foundation for decades! I think back then it was Max Factor Pan Stick and it was great on stage but not in person...lol. I've been afraid of stick foundations ever since. If your Mum would wear this I may try it but I don't want to look like I've been prepared for burial! 😄

    The Complexion rescue didn't work for me. I found there's really not enough pigment to unify my complexion, and it gave me pore that usually don't exist. It felt greasy even though I have dry skin. Clearly a pass for me! When it comes to tinted moisturisers I'd rather add pigment drops to my face cream.

    I can’t make the gel formula work on my skin. My pores get very noticeable and the shiny/dewy texture is not forgiving on a not so perfect skin. My other problem is the shade range, even though I’m light/medium, the shades I tried are too light or too yellow.

  • @brittclements1825
    @brittclements1825 5 років тому

    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!

However I don't wear makeup every day since I am always at home so I couldn't tell you how long it will last. I have had it on for over 10 hours today and it still looks great but I did set it with Make-up Forever's translucent powder.

    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 ;)

    • @PamperedWolf

    • @brittfansler9541
      @brittfansler9541 5 років тому

      Pampered Wolf yes, I did try that and I applied a light layer using my hands to blend it in. 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. ☹😞😔

      You have to apply the stick foundation so sparingly. I got a better application applying it to the brush rather than directly to the face. With regards to the Complexion rescue gel, I still find this very temperamental and it blocks my pores. xxx

      @gillgrigg3276 5 років тому

      Thanks Gemma. I did try it with a brush, with the merest amount of foundation on my face. With primer and without; made no difference. It's a shame, because I really wanted it to work as I wanted a more natural product. Never mind; lessons learned!

    I've just ordered the stick online - praying I've ordered the right colour (3.5 Cashew) - just went on the description on their website - I HATE buying new foundations because I'm still not sure whether I'm warm, cool, pink, neutral, yellow .... so always plump for neutral, it looks lovely on you. x do you think this will play nicely with a mineral sunscreen such as 'Colourscience'?

      Lisa I'm not a huge fan of tretinoin for this reason....what is the point in having dry flaky skin now so in the future your skin can look nicer? You need to build up skin tolerance to tretinoin. Use a tiny amount mixed in with moisturiser at first and then build up the strength using less and less moisturiser in the mix. xxx
