This is a lovely light B.B. cream which is absolutely perfect for when you want a bit of coverage and to brighten up your complexion. I find this makes my skin look glows and healthy and still very skin like. I had the shade light which was great for me in summer. Lovely product!

Ginger 06
This a great foundation, it leaves my skin looking glowing and provides great coverage. It is very natural looking but can be built up, I use the colour 06 Ginger which is perfect for my natural skin colour. It is oil free & SPF30 so I don’t need to use another sun screen product. It is very easy to apply either with your fingertips or a beauty blender.
Tips: Can be built up providing light almost sheer coverage to medium coverage, just add another application.

Very sheer coverage.
I jumped into buying this as I was looking for a light BB cream and had heard wonderful things about this product. It is very dewy - so if you are after something super light and glowy then you might like this. It feels oily, but it does dry down and feel less sticky/wet on your skin. I felt the coverage was extremely light. This is better suited for those who already have perfect skin, and would like just a slight, sheer tint over their skin, or as a base if you are going to build on top with other products. I used this as a base product like a primer, and then chose to spot conceal, and powder where I needed additional coverage and wanted to be a little less oily looking.
Tips: Try a sample first before buying.

Bareminerals Complexion Rescue Gel
I originally bought this because I wanted a less heavy foundation type product to wear when I’m fake tanned, as I tend to wear less makeup when I’m tan. I have dry/combination skin with some blemishes. I have a real love hate relationship with this product, because when I can get it to work for me I love it, but the keyword there is WHEN. I find this applies best when I have quite a heavy/rich moisturiser on underneath. When I use it this way, it gives the perfect light coverage that looks even and very glowy - I love how healthy it makes my skin look while letting some of my natural complexion show through. However if I don’t lay the perfect base down first or just apply it directly onto cleansed skin - it looks awful. It clings badly to drier patches on my face, the colour looks patchy and it doesn’t sink into my skin the way it should. I’ve tried applying with my fingers, beauty blenders, all kinds of brushes and when it doesn’t work it looks really awful. I’m still trying with this product and hoping to find the perfect combo for it. It would have been great if they brought out a primer/base to pair specifically with this gel, but at the same time I think for the price you really shouldn’t need any extra products for it to look nice.
Tips: If you have even slightly drier skin, layer on a thick primer or moisturiser beforehand!

Love this product
I have mature, combination skin which is quite sensitive but I find this doesn't give me any aggravation. I love that it has a great sunscreen so I can apply straight over my morning skincare without additional sunblock. It blends beautifully, I just use my fingers to rub it in, and gives a surprisingly good coverage for such a light texture. It sets with a radiant look but very skin like and doesn't look like you have makeup on. It does wear quite well but for a long day I would add a primer and/or bare minerals powder.
Tips: This product is better worked into the skin rather than painted over the top, the worse result I had was with a foundation brush which left streaks.

Yeah Nah
I purchased this from Mecca in the Vanilla colour. I have pretty normal skin, no real dry patches and no real oily patches but I just could not get this on to my skin without it separating. I tried no moisturiser, moisturiser, primer and it separated no matter what I did and it did it immediately. The colour was lovely. I could not put makeup over the top of it. I tried finishing powder - still no good. I spoke to the lovely ladies at Mecca about it and they did say that some other people had the same issue and they were not sure if it was a batch or something else. Based on my experience I would not repurchase and could not recommend. I do use Bare Minerals loose foundation powder and I love that.

Great for light makeup days
I love this product on my dry skin! It looks so good and natural (so perfect for no makeup makeup days) with the added SPF it is perfect. When I wear it, it lasts all day on my skin. One of my favourite foundation products.
Tips: I would still recommend setting it to make it last longer

Great product
Nice and light on the face. Isn't heavy and sits on the face nicely. Would definitely buy again as it lasts all day and wears well.
Tips: I would recommend using a powder on top to help set it

Lovely everyday wear
This is my go to. I love that it's simple and easy to apply, it doesn't take me long in the morning which is perfect! It's got spf in it as well - win! There is no overbearing smell which is great! Can be built up a little bit as well!
Tips: I always set with powder :)

I bought a mini tester tube of this and fell in love! I was a bit put off by the price of paying for a full-size one once my tester was all gone, however, it is worth every cent! This product applies smoothly, is moisturising, and hides any discolouration for an even and glowy natural finish. When my skin has no blemishes I wear this by itself, and top up with some concealer when I have a couple of blemishes. Could not recommend this product enough! My #1 favourite!
