    I've worn this for a few years now. Will continue. As with every product, it works for some and doesn't for others. If you have a lot of acne and need more coverage, go for something else. Bare...

    I have a decent amount of acne scars and moderate to light acne, and I find that using B.M. alone doesn't do the job. I use YSL's Perfect Touch foundation and then B.M. on top. I used to use a big...

    I notice that it does more harm than good if you have dry skin. My skin is very dry and sensitive. It only goes on well if I use a load of moisturizer. I wouldn't recommend it for the winters but...
