We have been asked by the team at bareMinerals® to find 50 MNers to try their Complexion Rescue™ Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream.

Testers will be sent Complexion Rescue™ Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream (£27.00 RRP) and asked to try it at home and report back with feedback at least twice on a thread on MN (as well as add a review on MN). They will also be sent a Smoothing Face Brush that was specially designed for Complexion Rescue™ (£24.00 RRP).

bareMinerals® say “our Complexion Rescue™ Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream. The best of a BB, a CC, and a tinted moisturiser - it’s a whole new way to think about makeup!
Introducing a multi-tasking genius that combines skincare benefits and naturally radiant coverage in one.
Product Benefits:

More info here - do look for the shades available and for ingredients.

This is open to all UK MNers.

You need to pick the shade you’d like - either by going to a store for a shade match or by using the shade finder on the website - click to the right hand side and then select this product to see available shades.

If you’d like to try this then please sign up here - we will be in touch with selected testers soon (deadline for applying: Monday 13th February 2017 9am).

All selected testers who try and feedback as required will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 voucher for the department store of their choice.

Thanks and good luck

Ooh I'm in too. Mine hasn't arrived yet though (were fogged in here which is affecting the post).

Did it come signed for delivery?

chipsonthebeach · 20/02/2017 21:42

Mine arrived on Saturday, but I haven't tried it yet - I've had ill children and forgot about it in the haze of vomit hanging over the house Blush

I've got buttercream - hopefully it's not too pale for me. Will try tomorrow!

Maudlinmaud · 20/02/2017 21:52

Yep signed for ememem84 hope you get it soon, mine came on saturday.
I got wheat and I've been wearing it for last couple of days. I really like it and I'm looking forward to writing a review.

flippinada · 21/02/2017 10:47

Gloria you don't have to use the brush but if you want to try it, this is what I'd suggest:

First, squeeze a pea sized amount on the back of your hand, then dip the brush in stipple on to your face (stippling is kind of a light, stamping notion) and blend.

Alternatively, you could apply to your face using fingertips and then blend in with the brush.

Hope that's helpful - if you have the time, look at YouTube, there's some good tutorials on there.

LavenderDoll · 21/02/2017 11:22

Mine has arrived .
Really impressed with it
Love the colour (natural) love the coverage and love the brush to blend.
I am putting the cream onto my face smoothing in with fingertips and then going over with the brush.

Will update again tomorrow

GloriaHotcakes · 21/02/2017 17:59

flipp thank you so much, I love it!

flippinada · 21/02/2017 18:34

You're welcome Gloria :)

ememem84 · 21/02/2017 19:17

MNHQ and word on the feedback thread yet?

Fillybuster · 24/02/2017 21:31

V sad not to make it into the test group for this trial but watching with great interest....especially if there are any reasonably pale skinned (redhead level pale!) triallist out there??

Anonymous1112 · 24/02/2017 21:42

Meeeee fillybuster Pale Jane, red hair, trialling Opal. So far so good. Colour is a great match, can't see it when it's on. Like the product so far.

MrsAlwaysRight · 25/02/2017 14:06

I'm also trialling Opal ànd have it a good match for my very pale skin Fillybuster

ememem84 · 25/02/2017 17:24

Trialling vanilla. It is great. Used it today and although I'm not sure about the brush I love the coverage and how three people have said how glowy my skin looks.

It feels lighter than stuff I usually wear so feels like I'm not wearing anything.

I think I'd definetly purchase.

SaladDressing · 25/02/2017 23:44

Mine has arrived and, more by luck than judgment, it's a great match for my skin.

I used the 'stippling' recommended by a PP and then went over with the brush and I really like it. I don't wear a lot of makeup but this looks really natural.

LavenderDoll · 26/02/2017 07:50

I've been using for a few days now. I'm definitely going to buy again. I love the brush - lovely even coverage and I love that it is lighter than foundation. Before buying again I will probably colour check with the make up advisor on the Bare Minerals stand just to make doubly sure I'm using correct colour
