How to Apply Makeup as a Man

Steps

 

1 Exfoliate. Before applying makeup, wash your face using an exfoliator and warm water. Rub your face gently in a circular motion to remove dead skin cells. Rinse with warm water and pat (dont rub) dry with a towel.

 

2 Apply Toner. Apply toner to a cosmetic pad and pat it lightly into your skin. Toner is meant to restore the skin to its natural pH level and remove any remaining dirt or dry skin cells.

 

3 Moisturize. Apply moisturizer with a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher to your face and neck. Allow the moisturizer to absorb into your skin before proceeding to the next step.

 

4 Apply Concealer. Mix a little bit of concealer on the back of your hand with a fine makeup brush. Pick up a very small amount of concealer on the end of the makeup brush - you can always go back for more if you need to - and dab it on the center of a blemish. Move to the outer edge with a gentle circular motion, then blend the concealer into the skin.

 

5 Powder your Nose. Dip the tip of a powder brush in powder and dust it lightly over your forehead and face. Apply a little more pressure when you go over your upper cheekbones, to add definition.

 

6 Wear Lip Balm. Choose a clear or neutral-colored lip balm that you can use throughout the day. Not only will it give your lips a smooth appearance, but it will also prevent them from getting chapped.

 

7 Remove makeup daily. Leaving makeup on overnight is not good for your skin. At the end of the day, wash your face again to remove makeup. Finish by using moisturizer. Use a richer moisturizer at night if you have dry skin.

Tips to Apply Makeup as a Man

Get a concealer that is the same shade as your skin tone. If youre shopping, try it at the base of your face to see how it compares to your skin tone. Its best to judge a concealer in actual daylight, because fluorescent lights wont allow for an accurate match.

Dont touch your face during the day, as it will rub off the makeup and also increase your likelihood of acne.

       If possible, get a very close shave, then allow your skin to rest about 20 minutes before continuing with the rest of your routine.

       If you have oily skin consider using a shine control hydrating lotion.

       To add a touch of color try using a bronzer over your cheekbones, nose, forehead and chin. This is not uncommon among men and it is applied with a makeup brush. You can find bronzers made exclusively for men (packaging is somewhat different) but dont be afraid to try the many options made available to women. The counter and packaging may be different, but women have more options with color and finish.

       The makeup brushes that come with most bronzers are made of cheap plastic, or it comes with a puff sponge and cant apply powders evenly. Consider going to a makeup counter and buying a powder brush. These are very large brushes with soft hairs.

       Remember to use a moisturizer with a sunscreen on your face everyday, year round. Do NOT use Handlotion or body cream. Find something made for faces (less heavy oils and fragrance to irritate your skin) that has an SPF of at least 15.

       To add extra definition to your eyes, have unruly eyebrows waxed or plucked by a professional. There are supposed to be two eyebrows and you should never let your eyebrows grow too long. Trim!

       The older you are or the dryer your skin may require you to step to a heavier moisturizing cream. Some creams also have agents to help with wrinkles, reddening or other skin woes. Go to a makeup counter in the mall or a free standing store. Youll find it takes less time to speak to a consultant than it does to read misleading labels in a drug store.

       To avoid the crowds, visit these stores or counters weekday mornings when they are less busy. Men frequent these counters quite often, so you shouldnt be shy. Many brands (Clinique, Merle Norman, etc.) even offer mens skin care lines. You can even take a few minutes and let them help you apply the skin care to make sure you are doing it right. If you want to add color, try a few bronzers and let them help you get that concealer.

       You may need to adjust your concealer for winter and summer depending on how much sun you have. Dont be afraid to have seasonal products and go a few shades darker in the summer after youve had some sun.

       Try mineral makeup specifically designed for men. Mineral makeup is good for your skin, contains SPF protection, and is virtually undetectable. It is great if you have problems like acne or rosecea.

 

Warnings

Do not exfoliate immediately after shaving. Doing so will irritate your skin.

If cotton sticks to beard while using toner, put toner in a plastic spray bottle and mist it on to your face. Store it in the fridge for a cool sensation.

Dont try to conceal a spot that is open, weeping or bleeding. Makeup wont do a very good job and may only make it look (and feel) worse. Wait until its closed before you apply makeup on top of it.

Man makeup

Concealer, bronzer, self-tanner, eyeliner -- it sounds like a checklist for a womans makeup bag. But they could be items in, yes, a mans makeup bag.
The last decade saw the "metrosexual" phenomenon, with men paying more attention to shopping, dressing and grooming. Now, established companies known for makeup and skin-care products for women are catering to the other gender with products to push mens style boundaries. Clinique has non-streak bronzer and concealer for men. Jean Paul Gaultier, which is mostly a fashion house of haute couture, has a two-in-one stick of concealer and eyeliner, also known as "guyliner."
Pete Wentz, a member of the musical group Fall Out Boy and husband to singer Ashlee Simpson, has a line of guyliners called WentzPentz. The new products have some people proclaiming a new wave in mens grooming.
"Globally, the mens grooming market continues to grow as many men are striving to take better care of their skin. The male consumer is becoming more informed about the health of his skin and (how) to slow the affects of aging," says Megan Marsanico-Byrne, assistant manager of Clinique Global Communications.
Patty Bunch, a celebrity makeup artist who has worked on actors Halle Berry, Billy Crystal, Tony Danza and Jennifer Aniston, says she knows men who dye their lashes or wear waterproof mascara to give new dimension to lashes.
"The truth is, women are taking advantage of all the anti-aging makeup and are looking fabulous, so the men better catch up. A little extra help never hurts," she says.
Tyler Thoreson, executive editor of men.style.com, the online home of Details and GQ magazines, says hes noticed "man makeup" but doesnt believe itll ever become popular. In fact, he laughs at the suggestion. "I think its completely idiotic. It gives true mens fashion and mens style a bad name. All of that should accentuate your masculinity, not undermine it," Thoreson says.
He acknowledges a demand for more grooming options for men but Thoreson says there probably are very few guys who would wear concealer or bronzer and stick with it.
