I'm waiting to receive the Smashbox starter kit ordered from Smashbox to get the primer that was recommended here, and some eyebrow stuff with wax and a brush, and a few other goodies. (BTW Costco has a fairly comprehensive Smashbox kit but I didn't have time to check it out.)
The Brow Tech is awesome. I feel naked without Brow Tech. But, use a VERY light hand with the brow tech. And whatever you do, make sure you're content with the amount you have on BEFORE you put the wax on (and use very little of the wax).
Some have mentioned you have to know how to apply the mineral makeup and that it takes time. Any tips?
I usually do the swirl, tap and buff like they recommend on the BE DVD/Infomercial/QVC Show. I start on my cheeks and work my way down to my chin (then repeating starting at the cheeks on the other side), then over my nose and then my forehead. If I need to spot conceal, I do so before I do my whole face.
My routine with BE is no longer than my routine with my liquid foundation.
