Anyone knows about makeup for men?

I am trying to do a natural blush look, but I have no idea what brush to use and how to clean it. I have so many questions! Can someone in the know help, PLEASE?

by Anonymousreply 110November 24, 2020 9:55 AM

Benetint. Very natural-looking.

I tried to link it, but can’t. Benefit Cosmetics has a liquid lip/cheek stain.

by Anonymousreply 1November 5, 2020 3:42 PM

Don't do it as it will never come off looking natural. But if you insist, go for a MAC brush and CLINIQUE loose powder.

by Anonymousreply 2November 5, 2020 3:43 PM

tarte cheek stain. I use 'tickled'

by Anonymousreply 3November 5, 2020 3:44 PM

You definitely want a liquid or creme blush. I second the Benetint suggestion.

Blending OP! Just make sure you blend. Here is a good example.

Also - my tip is not to wear it in the daytime. EVERYBODY will see it no matter what you do. If you must wear something - wear it at night only.

Don't forget to blend and blend and wipe most of it back off. That's the trick. Otherwise...

Men can get away with wearing an extremely light foundation

very little on the cheeks

I knew a guy who had bad rosacea on his cheeks and he used foundation but I never knew it until we were talking one day and he told me, it looked natural and he must have used very little

I didn't ask him what kind (brand) he wore however

He died since then

by Anonymousreply 44November 5, 2020 11:43 PM

it was probably Renaissance foundation then r44

by Anonymousreply 45November 5, 2020 11:47 PM

The only occasion that handsome young man at R39 would need make up is for a photo shoot. Never in a face to face situation.

We're all stuck on camera nowadays so yeah, why not some light touchups. The camera won't reveal it. Real life will so save it for the cameras.

by Anonymousreply 46November 5, 2020 11:51 PM

R45 I don't know since I've never wore makeup except for dressing up as Dracula for Halloween once

But he did tell me that he used very little and that one tube would last six months and he only used it on his cheeks not his forehead, nose or chin, because that's where his rosacea was

Again, I worked with him for years and me or anyone else ever suspected that he wore make up

Now if a dude wears lipstick or nail polish, that's obvious make up

by Anonymousreply 47November 5, 2020 11:51 PM

by Anonymousreply 55November 6, 2020 2:31 AM

I'm sure Op is a trolling queen - but for those who are not -

I have a job that I've had to go on TV and - more recently - zoom, teams, etc.

I have a face for radio. I'm not ugly, just rather boyish and round-faced with light hair. I have to draw in my eyebrows and create some symmetry on tv. I also shade in some grays that only grow in on one side of my head/face.

I use:

- La Roche Posay CC Cream for live events - but not for TV - more 'dewy' than shiny - h/e minerals light/mediium powder OVER moisturized skin

- clear 'mascara' on eyelashes

- anastasia brow gel (i find granite is the most neutral) if you have light/blonde/thin brows

i have a bit of rosacea on my cheeks. when it is flaring i use STILA (this is preferred) or ELF green primer (pinch hitter) on my cheeks BEFORE powder.

Put any camera or zoom anywhere between 10-28% up depending on your face shape.

no one has ever thought i was wearing 'makeup'

Blush? Why blush? LIke the others on this thread have said, all you need is tinted moisturizer. No brush- just put a small dollop in your hand, emulsify, and apply like a regular moisturizer. Don't forget to bring it down a little past your jaw and up to the ears. The other alternative is to use a gradual self tanner for the face- the positives for that is the color won't wash off immediately if your shower or go swimming, and you can bring it down the neck and it won't rub off on your collared shirts. It's best to apply it at night, to give time for the color to develop.
