If you want to use BM, use it the right way...meaning follow the directions. Buy the 20 dollar Buki Brush with the handle and wash the brushes every 2 weeks and use a primer. If you use it correctly, you will be surprised how much coverage it gives...I break out from everything, but BM improved my skin, and I used to have cystic acne. Give it a try but remember to wash your brushes with their soap and be sanitary.

The model is so freaked out when the girl is applying the undereye concealer!

I have a question...the lady who actually does the commercials who created the BM line...on her commercials he does not swirl it onto the face when she applies it...this lady swirls, and swirls and swirls all over the face...which way is correct??

Okay... I love BM, and this stuff helps my skin. It's like an acne med in the products! It's amazing! My skin is FLAWLESS!!!

So bitches, u can wear it to bed cuz its natural. Instead of that damn Mac and shit.

Shut the fuck up. It's just damn makeup.

yahh this did nothing for the model, and it doesn't do anything for me. I swear by nars sheer glow. this is such a hassle for no result... by the end my wrist is exhausted from "swirling" and there's no way you can get any coverage with the lady's recommended "small amount." and in an hour or two it's gone when you walk out the door, even with primer. so you're stuck at work showing off to the world literally your "bare" skin.

I worked for BM for a year and have been personally wearing it for about 7 years and I probably use 1tbsp worth in TWO WEEKS. The idea of the minerals is that it neutralizes reds and blemishes in the skin and allows you to use less product so your skin looks & feels more natural. I've applied the makeup on all types of skin---perfect, aged, horrible acne----and *no one* needed more than what is recommended.

Im sure you can use more powder then that, you cant expect a tiny amount of powder to cover a face with acne or blemishes, that amount is like for setting a liquid foundation. I did try this stuff in the store and i used 1/4tsp on my hand and it covered pretty good. I'd use a 1tbsp for my face then add concealer. I understand light coverage, but this looks like there wasn't ANY coverage. The makeup artist knows her info but sucks putting the makeup on.

Thanks for a great vid. I've just started using bm and it's great. I don't wear make up at all so I was very aware of how "thick" some brands feel on. BM is great and quick to apply as well as taking off any shine :) wonderful stuff.

BM is awesome! My brother's gf had it but didn't want it cause she said it didn't work (she didn't watch the dvd) so she gave it to me. I watched this instead and then tried it. I was skeptical at first cause it's just powder and I don't have the best skin but I was AMAZED how good it worked. My skin looked so healthy and pretty afterwards esp after you put the warmer color on. It is so much easier than doing a liquid then a powder and it isn't all caked on your face. I love it!
