Not typically do I fall in love with a foundation this extremely efficient and this fast. Significantly stick foundations, which tend to tug on my pores and pores and pores and pores and skin and take some time to combine. Nonetheless the Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Hydrating Foundation Stick has shocked me – in an environment friendly means. It’s quick and simple to profit from, and the portability is phenomenal.
Billed as the first clear, water-based stick foundation, it feels cool on utility, even on the popular days. I wore all of it by this month’s crazy heatwave in Paris and it nonetheless felt super-refreshing.
Genuinely, it feels further like a liquid – almost moist – fairly than a stick foundation. And it goes on merely, with a glowy finish. Which is as shortly as additional in distinction to most stick foundations, that are often dry and mattifying.
This, I suppose, is due to the volcanic sea water from Jeju Island (hiya, Okay-beauty!), pink algae and camellia japonica flower extract. These hydrate the pores and pores and pores and pores and skin and forestall water loss. There’s moreover olive-derived squalane to moisturise and SPF 25 for sunscreen touchups on the go.
Safety begins off as light-to-medium nonetheless it really’s really buildable. And it doesn’t actually really actually really feel sticky or tacky on the pores and pores and pores and pores and skin. Neither does it get cakey all by means of the dry bits of my complexion. Within the least. I uncover it lasts me an beautiful 6-7 hours earlier than starting to interrupt up all by means of the nostril nonetheless it really’s easy to the contact up due to portability.
The portability and ease of use, on the tip of the day, are what I actually like most right correct proper right here. I typically don’t positioned on foundation by means of the daytime, so the Rescue Stick makes it easy to make up my face for last minute conferences, meals or date nights. And I will merely combine it in with my fingers, although Bare Minerals recommends a brush. It takes about 10 seconds this sample.
The Rescue Hydrating Foundation might even be good for journey – all of the consolation of a liquid foundation, with out slicing into my liquid allowance.
Nonetheless – and this might presumably be an enormous nonetheless for acne-prone pores and pores and pores and pores and skin – the Rescue Stick has dimethicone contained within the system. Dimethicone creates an occlusive layer over pores and pores and pores and pores and skin, which could entice micro organism, mud, grime, sebum and lifeless cells to congest the pores and pores and pores and pores and skin and set off breakouts. To be truthful, Dimethicone is present in varied foundations nonetheless I’d always counsel teenage or good blemish-prone pores and pores and pores and pores and skin to attempt a sample for just some days earlier than committing.
Secondly, I am not thrilled about Bare Minerals bringing as quickly as additional some not-so-skin-friendly chemical substances like EDTA and BHT. Let’s return to further minerals, of us?
