8 make-up tips for men
Think make-ups only for women? Pah! Just like your car requires a little touch-up paint and polish now and then, you too can benefit from some guyliner and mancake [but perhaps not to the extent that Zac Efron wears it].
1. A tinted moisturiser will even out your complexion, helping to disguise acne scarring, age spots and a dull complexion. This is an especially good tip for guys wanting to look flawless for a special occasion, such as their wedding day.
2. For stronger coverage, try a very sheer foundation, or a mineral-based cover, such as Inika Mineral Foundation, $54.95. This will help cover skin problems such as severe acne or rosacea.
3. Got unruly brows? Ask your hairdresser or barber to trim them next time youre in the salon. If youre game, you can DIY with some nail scissors, but go easy: trim a little at a time before stepping back from the mirror to inspect.
4. Brow-taming trick number two: brow gel. Swipe a little over your eyebrows to whip them into shape. John Howard: take note.
5. For dark circles, try using an eye cream containing vitamin K. Alternatively, give the under-eye concealer a go [try Make Up Store Reflex Cover, $32]. Colour-matching is the key, so chose a shade that works with your skin tone, before gently patting it over the area.
6. Dont neglect your lips. You can exfoliate them gently with a wet toothbrush after you clean your chompers to remove dry, rough skin. Finish with a coat of lip balm, such as Napoleon Perdis Auto Pilot Lip Service, $25.
7. Nix shiny skin with a little mattifying lotion. Rub it between your fingertips before dabbing it over the common shiny areas, such as your forehead and nose. Try Napoleon Perdis Auto Pilot Pore Minimiser and Mattifier, $65 itll also help to minimise the appearance of big pores.
8. Warm up your complexion with a dusting of matte bronzer. Use a big, fluffy brush, and focus on the areas the sun would normally hit: your forehead, cheekbones and nose.
