Interview with Kimberly Wyatt

 A few weeks ago I was given the amazing opportunity of interviewing the beautiful and talented Kimberly Wyatt  of Pussycat Dolls and So You Think You Can Dance fame, and co-founder of mineral makeup line BM Beauty. A few of you kindly contributed questions for Kimberly, of which I chose a selection, so I hope you find her answers interesting!

1.What inspired you to create BM Beauty?

"BM Beauty was created because we wanted to give people the all natural makeup option without sacrificing glamour, coverage, or color!!


2. What would be the one piece of beauty advice you would give to younger girls?

"Be educated and aware of what you put on your skin!"


3. What are your must have beauty products that you can’t be without?

"BM Beauty nude lip gloss, mascara, and vanish concealer! Moroccan oil for my hair! Dry Shampoo!!"


4. Coming from a dance background I imagine you have tried a multitude of long wearing foundations, which would you recommend?

"I have tried almost everything!!! To be quite honest I've been using a tinted moisturizer paired with BM Beauty Foundation in Sunny Haze!!! It's been incredible on and off stage!!"


5. Do you have any beauty disaster stories you would be willing to share?
 
"I’ve dealt with seriously problematic skin for most my life. The worst experience I had was when my dermatologist did a chemical peel on my face. I didn't get all of it washed off afterwards and the chemicals continued to burn my skin.....I held my head out the window the whole way home because it was burning so badly!! I had scabs on my face by the time I got home!!! OUCH!!!"

Thank you so much to Kimberly for taking the time out of her hectic schedule to answer our questions! If you have more questions for Kimberly youcan follow her on twitter @KimberlyKWyatt  xxx

BM Beauty Kimberly Wyatt Smokey Eye

When I first started making videos on YouTube most of them centered around using mineral makeup, but as I became enveloped in the world of cosmetics on my eternal quest for 'the next best thing' mineral makeup was pushed to the back of my mind. I was therefore excited to rediscover the beauty and all the benefits of mineral makeup while trying out a new brand called BM Beauty co founded by Kimberly Wyatt (of Pussycat Dolls fame) and her friend Laura, who is not only lovely, but extremely passionate about the brand.

 If you want to learn more about BM beauty and see how I created this dark smokey eye inspired by Kimberly's promo image please watch the video below :).

Products used:
Foundation - Stripped, Walnut Whisper (as bronzer)
Blush - Peachy Glow
Eyeshadow - Mississippi mud, Noir
Eyeliner - UD 24/7 liner in zero
Mascara - Beautiful Lashes (black)
Lashes - She Uemura smokey layers
Lipgloss - Nude

This is not a sponsored video. All products mentioned (excluding the eyeliner and lashes) were sent to me by BM Beauty for use in tutorials.  BM Beauty is cruelty free and BUAV approved :).

 Kimberly has kindly agreed to do a little interview for all my lovely readers, so if you have any questions please leave them in the comments. I am so excited to learn her beauty secrets as she is absolutely stunning and can carry off any look with confidence!

Blonde, brunette, girly, edgy.. this girl looks gorgeous with any style!!
