Men's makeup

It is generally accepted in the world that makeup is the prerogative of the female half of society. After all, the girls follow the news in the world of the fashion industry and use all sorts of cosmetics. Accordingly, hearing the phrase “male make-up”, the question arises: is there such a thing in the world? Of course, not every man will begin to put cosmetics on his face, however there are several categories that need to look perfect. So, let's see if there is a male make-up, what is hidden under this concept, are there any specific techniques of execution and many other equally interesting aspects of the life of the representatives of the stronger sex.

The main criterion for male makeup - natural. Unlike women's makeup, when girls seek to express their attractiveness, to focus on the eyes, lips or overall appearance, men need to emphasize their naturalness, naturalness. For members of the stronger sex is more suitable masking type makeup, as it helps to hide various skin defects (in particular, rashes, irritation after shaving, asterisks from capillaries, uneven skin tone of the face, swelling, dark circles under the eyes, etc.).

Clothes can be selected according to taste, style, preferences, but appearance can not be changed. That is exactly what men think, not knowing what kind of magic power cosmetics have. Fashion dictates its own rules. Every year, make-up for men is becoming more mundane and commonplace. It is unlikely that the color of the skin or the presence of “bruises” under the eyes is greatly disturbed by handymen or taxi drivers, mechanics or builders, porters or train drivers.

However, there are a number of areas of activity where, so to speak, a person has importance and significance:

• actors of theater and cinema, representatives of show business, rock musicians - during filming or concerts, the highlights of the spotlights serve as a kind of magnifying glass, highlighting all the flaws and shortcomings of the skin, which can be hidden with the help of makeup (professional makeup);

• politicians - there is hardly a person in the world who would not have heard the phrase “trading in person”, this is exactly what modern politicians are doing, so makeup plays a special role in this field of activity;
• male models - working on the podium, a priori, you can not look unprofessional, respectively, men also need good makeup.

If you notice that your husband has a rash or dark circles under the eyes have become too noticeable, do not rush to rush to your cosmetic bag in search of foundation, concealer or concealer. Men need light-textured products that are quickly absorbed. Make-up for the representatives of the stronger sex consists of almost the same cosmetics as the female, but it has a number of differences in color, texture and various additional effects:

1. Makeup base or base - light texture, quickly absorbed, matting, should not leave even a light film.
2. Foundation and various masks - neutral or as close to the natural complexion shades.
3. Crumbly or baked powder - It is better to abandon it completely and replace it with a foundation. Powder is not absorbed, but is applied with a thin top layer that will be too noticeable on the bristles or near it.
4. Pomade - moisturizing or nourishing, colorless or maybe with some slight natural shade, matte, without a chimmer.
5. Mascara - colorless, brown or gray. Choose mascara without any effects (twisting, extra volume, lengthening).
6. Eyebrow correction - colorless gel in small quantities.

Despite the abundance of various recommendations from stylists and makeup artists, it is unlikely that a man at the first attempt will succeed in making himself a good and correct make-up, and even more so - creative. If this is a one-time make-up (for example, for a photo shoot or some kind of event), it is better to ask for help from professionals in this business who know how to make a quality make-up. If makeup is needed often or even daily, you will have to learn a little and adjust.
