Tips before putting on makeup
Here are some steps or a series of routine that women also use when putting on makeup. You have to clean your face well with a cleansing gel and then use a good moisturizer without shine. Then we will use the concealer in those areas that must be corrected especially, emphasizing the dark circles.
Then we will apply our makeup base and we will clarify the result with some compact powders. The last step would be to apply a lip repair, although some men choose to groom their lashes, eyebrows or a small touch of blush.
If you have a beard, it is not a problem to wear makeup. It is important to try not to make up the area where the hair is and not to leave traces of the base or powder.
Makeup base
It is important to choose a tone that resembles the color of your skin, it has to be very fluid and it will seem that it blends with your skin with total perfection, without looking artificial. Makeup bases are usually manufactured for all skin types, but if possible choose the most appropriate to your skin, if it is oily, dry or combination. It will be applied with the fingers of the hands or with the help of a special makeup sponge.
Men's skin is different from women's. He produces more collagen and his sebaceous glands are larger so his skin is less sensitive and can withstand stronger products. As recommendations, it is preferable that the cream contains some type of correct anti-wrinkle, some sunscreen and if it may not contain perfume.
We have chosen the Loreal brand, with a makeup base that is used unixex and for all skin types. Other brands that have been chosen are the Chanel brand with perfect skin and tone, Kanebo Sensai which is a Japanese brand product. And the Elizabeth Arden brand with a fluid in the form of a mousse.
Concealer
It is similar to makeup base, but with a much more fluid texture to be able to hide specific areas such as pimples, scars, spots and redness. To apply it it is better to use a sponge so that globs do not form and if it can be, do not use correctors that contain lighting or shine, as it will give an effeminate appearance.
Matting powders
It is the final finish of all makeup. They must provide a tone equal to your skin and a matte finish, so that no shine appears on the face. Powders are essential if you want your makeup base to last for many more hours at the end of your day. It can be applied with a soft sponge or a thick brush.
The samples we have are translucent compact powders from the brand MMUK and bronzing powders with a terracotta tone from Guerlain.
Other makeup products for men
Colored powders: they are those that contain tanned effects or reddish colors, but giving quite light finishes. The powders should have a matte effect and can be applied with a wide brush or a kabuki brush.
The mascara: it is advisable to apply a transparent mascara to give that natural touch to your eyelashes. If you need to curl them there are special curlers, but do not curl them more than necessary.
Eyebrow fixer: you can take care of your eyebrows with specific products to leave them combed and bushy. It is recommended to use a clear fixative or a brown-brown pencil to fill in sparse brows.
As a final conclusion, it only remains to say that men's makeup is already part of a routine. Men also need to hide some imperfections or favor much more handsome than they are. As advice, it would be ideal to always use good quality products that resemble your skin tone, so the result will be much more natural.
