COMPLEXION RESCUE® Natural Matte Tinted Moisturizer Mineral SPF 30

I decided to try this before I run out of Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer. I haven't loved that, but it was expensive and I developed some methods of making it work OK for me until it runs out but I definitely needed to find something else. I have combination skin. It's very difficult to find a foundation that works on my entire face. I use good quality loose minerals so I don't want or need a heavy foundation. Tinted moisturizer is perfect in concept, but it has been challenging to find the right one... until now. This Bare Minerals Natural Matte is perfect!What I love:It offers good coverage that isn't too little or too much (better than LM)It minimizes my pores (LM did not!)It moisturizes the dry areas but doesn't make the oily areas more oily (LM was not good on the oily parts)It doesn't pool up on the oily areas of my face and cause them to look shiny (LM pools and causes shine)It lasts all day with very little maintenance needed on an average day at the office. (LM req'd maintenance)What I don't love:It's a little pricey but no worse than what I was already buying. It's a good product so worth it to me.I apply this with a very small makeup brush. Don't focus too much on what the manufacturer calls the brush. Look for a brush about 1/4 inch wide or so. Sponges absorb very expensive makeup and so do fingers. I like the brush because it isn't absorbent. Using a small brush gives me lots of control, helps me blend evenly, and doesn't waste any product. I give it a few minutes to set on my face, then I apply loose minerals lightly over my entire face and I'm set for the day.Overall, I highly recommend this, particularly if you have combo skin like me and don't like heavy pore-clogging foundation.

great matte finish look, better coverage than the tint moistuizer, that i used more often. love the matte finish look, received coMpliment, but need to apply moisturizer before this

This tinted moisturizer seems like it would be amazing if I had purchased to correct shade :( It's really difficult to get the undertones right. There are SO many different color choices, which is great!! The one I bought gives me a more pale sick look. It's not too light, as far as shade goes, but it drained all of the richness from my skin making me look dull in the face. Totally take responsibility for not knowing my correct color match before purchasing. I docked one star because it's actually more full coverage than other tinted moisturizers I've used in the past. Just a dab too much and it gave foundation vibes. All preference though!

I absolutely love it. Great coverage but still moisturizes well. No breakouts - my skin loves it. I don’t buy anything else! This is all you need!

Thick and creamy. I wanted lighter feel.

I’m not one to use foundation or anything like that . But love this . It’s literally all I put on my face and it has sunblock in it and looks natural

This is very clean. It was like not wearing makeup at all. I love the natural feeling and a little goes a long way.ThanksMs. Phyllis

This product is okay but I wouldn’t repurchase.My skin is quite oily and this isn’t as matte as I’d hoped. It also oxidizes on my skin and gives a slightly orange hue. The coverage is pretty good and it’s comfortable but just not for me personally.
