I diagnose that you have serious Hair Jealousy.

That's a horrible sickness to have. ${#emotions_dlg.w00t}$

Overzealous? Are we watching the same guy? Some ppl really react badly to people who seem not to conform to gender norms. Whatever the issue, I don't think EB is the source of your discomfort. I want to run my fingers through that hair. I would if he was a girl, too. It's not a sexy thing, it's a hair thing. I love it!

Are you speaking to me???? I was just joking about the diagnosis of hair jealousy comment. I don't feel any discomfort at all.

Goodness, no! I was speaking back to the initial unkind post.

You could flip him upside down and mop the floor with that hair. Even a woman would NOT look good with hair that long and no style. Everyone has an opinion.

Since the OP asked about Bess products, not Edward Bess, the only Bess product I have used is his concealer in the little pot. I am actually wearing it today because I have run out of It Bye Bye. I decided I am going to use up my stock of other concealers, so today I elected to use Edward Bess.

The product is a bit thick and on the tacky side, which is OK with me. My beloved It Bye Bye is also tacky, so I am used to that. Edward Bess concealer is a little thicker than It Bye Bye but not too much.

My advice is to use as little of the Bess concealer as possible and lightly tap it on with your finger and/or use the brush that comes with it. It is much better, IMO, to use too little product and layer on a bit more than to glop it on initially. I guarantee you won't like this (or any concealer) if you use too much.

I have the Bess concealer in medium. I used it under the eyes and liked it very much. I also used it on other areas of my face that needed a little help. In fact, I liked it so well when I finished that I decided to not use any foundation.

Conclusion: I really like Edward Bess concealer. It has a nice finish. It Bye Bye can look shiny and wet. Bess is a bit drier, at least on my skin. If you have very dry undereyes, you might want to moisturize lightly before applying Bess concealer.

I have had the Bess concealer on for about five hours now with no caking for me. It covers my issues very well. I think I will just use up the Bess concealer before hitting the rest of my concealer stash. Yes, I like it that well.

PS - as to Edward Bess himself, I like him, he seems like a nice person to me. I think he presents his products well and I like his hair too. I don't think he is over zealous in selling his products. It would seem odd if a vendor gave the impression that they didn't give a hoot whether you bought their products or not.

Every single time Edward Bess is on there is a thread here on Beauty Banter about him. His hair always seems to be a big topic, among others. His age, how he "was only a model" and now I am seeing on this thread about how in the world could he have the money to afford start a make up line?

Seriously, is any of this any of our business?

I don't own any Edward Bess products and probably never will as I have enough to least a lifetime, so I don't have a dog in this race. Either you like his products or you don't, or you want to try them or you don't. No need to get so personal about him, or anyone else.

Just MHO.

yes, especially since the original post was asking about his products but of course, someone always has to make it personal and comment about how they don't like his hair, looks, personality, or whatever. ${#emotions_dlg.glare}$

It's not like this is the first (or last

thread to veer away from the OP's question/comment. Perhaps, if he did something with his hair, wasn't so hush hush about his background, and displayed a more humble attitude, people wouldn't speculate and comment.

He might like his choice of hairstyle, I think he has talked about his being a model, and I have no idea what you meant about a more humble attitude.

Re: humble comment--It's like he's the male version of that Pantene commercial where the model said, "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful." It's not that you're beautiful, it's that you're full of yourself. Re: hairstyle--Obviously, he likes his hair. I think it's messy/tangled and appears unhealthy. I don't think it warrants his little stage routine of taking it out the bun the way he does like he's got something really special to show us. Re: background--Yes, we've heard about his modeling experience, but it would be nice if he gave us more info about his experience in the lab developing the products.

Ditto. He's not attractive at all.

I guess I'm in the minority then, I've always found guys with gorgeous long hair attractive. MY DH used to have beautiful long hair too but we were a lot younger then. Now he's just thankful he still has hair ${#emotions_dlg.w00t}$ !
