A first look at BM beauty

BM Beauty is a range of mineral makeup and synthetic brushes. They are BUAV approved and the make up is free from bismuth oxychloride, parabens, nano particles, synthetic dyes and fragrances. I'd seen the brand mentioned on a Pixiwoo tutorial and it pique my interest.

I have been mostly wearing the Inika mineral foundation, though mineral powders are not the best for my dry skin, my skin sensitivities and acne flare ups are such that this formulation seems to cause me the least problems.
The BM beauty foundation (£14) immediately caught my eye as its a cheaper price and also appeared to come in a lighter shade (my Inika is a touch too dark). I am highly impressed with the BM and I find the performance easily comparable to the Inika. It feels lightweight, coverage is buildable, it lasts quite well and causes me no irritation/acne. The shade Stripped is a much better match, its lighter and has a slight pink tone which matches my cool toned skin.
Concealer & foundation pictured below:

Ingredients:

• Mica
• iron oxide
• zinc oxide
• titanium dioxide

• Use the mineral foundation brush 121 to buff your mineral foundation to a perfect, flawless finish.
• Apply using firm, circular movements.
• For more camouflage, simply build up the layers till blemishes disappear.
• Keep the tip regarding adding foundation to moisturiser.
• Mix mineral eyeshadow with a little water and apply as an eyeliner using eyeliner brush 119.
• Apply Marble Sparkle eyeshadow to the inner corner of the eye, where you naturally have a dark shadow for a youthful, wide eyed look.

The concealer (£8) comes in two shades, I went for the lighter one called Vanish. Its a bit darker than the foundation and has more of a peachy tone. Under the eyes this doesn't provide enough coverage for my bad circles and layering can make the area look a bit dry, however it works well when used lightly to set my under eye concealer. I use this primarily for spot/scar concealment, where I find it works very well as it gives high coverage,stays put and doesn't aggravate the condition.

Ingredients:

• Mica
• iron oxide
• zinc oxide
• ultramarine

The foundation brush (£14) is extremely soft and fluffy. The head is full and rounded. This works very well to apply the mineral foundation which surprised me as I have been using much denser packed brushes previously, I also really like this for blush application.

I'm very pleased with all the products and it will be a brand I repeat buy from, its nice to find an affordable range that still delivers great results.

I bought these from bmbeauty.com
