Not typically do I fall in love with a foundation this extremely efficient and this fast. Significantly stick foundations, which are likely 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 method. It’s quick and simple to benefit from, and the portability is phenomenal.
Billed as the first clear, water-based stick foundation, it feels cool on utility, even on probably the most well-liked days. I wore all of it by the use of this month’s crazy heatwave in Paris and it nonetheless felt super-refreshing.
Primarily, it feels further like a liquid – practically moist – fairly than a stick foundation. And it goes on merely, with a glowy finish. Which is as rapidly as additional in distinction to most stick foundations, which may be normally dry and mattifying.
This, I suppose, is because of 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 truly’s truly buildable. And it doesn’t really truly actually really feel sticky or tacky on the pores and pores and pores and pores and skin. Neither does it get cakey all by the dry bits of my complexion. The least bit. I uncover it lasts me a gorgeous 6-7 hours forward of starting to interrupt up all by the nostril nonetheless it truly’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 appropriate correct proper right here. I usually don’t positioned on foundation via the daytime, so the Rescue Stick makes it easy to make up my face for ultimate minute conferences, meals or date nights. And I am going to merely combine it in with my fingers, although Bare Minerals recommends a brush. It takes about 10 seconds this sample.
The Rescue Hydrating Foundation may additionally be good for journey – the entire 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 quite a few foundations nonetheless I’d on a regular basis counsel teenage or good blemish-prone pores and pores and pores and pores and skin to try a sample for just some days forward of committing.
Secondly, I am not thrilled about Bare Minerals bringing as quickly as further some not-so-skin-friendly chemical substances like EDTA and BHT. Let’s return to further minerals, people?
