BM Beauty @ The Clothes Show Live

From the 2nd - 7th of December the Clothes Show Live was held at the Birmingham NEC, and I had the amazing opportunity of working with BM Beauty, Kimberly Wyatt and Laura McComiskie's new make up brand. I travelled up on Sunday the 4th and worked at the show on Monday and Tuesday (5th and 6th of December)

I had an amazing time, working with a few of the girls from The Academy of Makeup, Glasgow to help promote and sell these great products.

BM Beauty is an all natural, animal cruelty free mineral makeup company. They have a range of products, from eyeshadows, mascaras and lip-glosses, right through to foundation, concealers and finishing powders. The foundations contain zinc oxide which is a natural anti inflammatory, great for problem skin, which was a point that Laura and Kimberly wanted to focus on as they have both in the past suffered from problem skin, a problem that many people share! The foundations come in a good range of colours, although more colours will be added to range as time goes on. They have a great texture, very soft, with buildable coverage without feeling heavy or cakey. They also contain a slight shimmer so you will never look like you've just stuck your face in a powder puff! It gives you a lovely, dewy finish!

All of the products are cruelty free, and the company has been given the stamp of approval by BUAV and PETA. Along with the cruelty free products, all of their brushes are made with synthetic hairs, that are made to replicate animal hair so you achieve the same finish with the brushes.

Another amazing factor with this brand is that all of the posters used at the Clothes Show were complete air brush free. It was incredible to see all the little bits that would usually be completely taken away, like the fly away bits of hair, and you could actually see her skin, and all the pores. It gives so much more credibility to the brand itself, as all the products used in the pictures were BM Beauty products so you could actually get a decent representation of the products and how they work on the skin!

I will be posting a separate blog with swatches, and talking more about how to use mineral makeup, because it isn't all about powder, powder, powder!!

Thanks for reading my lovelies! Hope to see you back soon
