Growing up with acne-prone skin, bareMinerals was the first makeup brand I was allowed to use as an 8th grader since it's mineral-based formulations and powders are light, breathable, and appropriate for school. Now, as a 26-year-old, I still use bareMinerals but with a newfound appreciation for their formulas. Their complexion products are the perfect merge between skincare and makeup. However, the bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturiser [1] in Terra 8.5 has been one product that truly made my morning routine streamlined. Filled with skin-loving ingredients [2], specifically protective ingredients such as titanium dioxide and iron oxides, bareMinerals will be my life-long, daytime complexion best-friend. It's truly made embracing "skinimalism" [3] that much easier.
bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturiser
Although it's a tinted moisturiser, it has incredible coverage! It feels lightweight on the skin but looks like you're wearing a medium, buildable coverage foundation — that is why it has been my holy grail, go-to daytime complexion product. The bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturiser [5] ($33) not only hides my SPF-induced white cast but provides an extra layer of SPF coverage since it is SPF 30. With the addition of this tinted moisturiser, I no longer obsess over trying to find the ideal SPF, and as a person of colour, that is nearly impossible. Reapply your SPF throughout the day with either this tinted moisturiser or refresh your look with a spray SPF.
bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturiser
The bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturiser [6] ($33) comes in 20 blendable shades that prioritise shade range and undertones. It contains hyaluronic acid, which will hydrate the skin, and olive-derived squalane that will moisturise the skin. Depending on your base SPF and your skin type, this tinted moisturiser can replace your traditional daytime moisturiser. Those with normal to dry skin will find the formulation ideal but, those with oily skin will need to set it with a loose powder. I recommend the classic bareMinerals Original Loose Powder Mineral Foundation SPF 15 [7] ($32). It can also be used as a way to reapply your SPF throughout the day.
