Check out our selection below for some essential men’s makeup products that can help you achieve a flawless look.
Primer
A primer is a product that prepares your skin for makeup application. It helps smooth out your skin texture, minimize your pores, and create a base for your foundation or concealer. It also helps your makeup last longer and prevent it from caking or creasing.
There are different types of primers for different skin types and concerns. For example, if you have oily skin, you may want to use a mattifying primer that controls shine. If you have dry skin, you may want to use a hydrating primer that moisturizes and plumps your skin. If you have dull or uneven skin tone, you may want to use a color-correcting primer that balances out your complexion.
You can apply a primer after cleansing and moisturizing your skin. You can use your fingers, a sponge, or a brush to apply a thin layer of primer all over your face or on the areas where you need it.
Foundation or Tinted Moisturizer
A foundation or tinted moisturizer is a product that evens out your skin tone and provides some coverage for your imperfections. It helps create a smooth and natural-looking finish that enhances your features and hides your flaws.
There are different types of foundations or tinted moisturizers for different skin types and preferences. For example, if you want a light coverage and some hydration with sun protection, you may want to use a tinted moisturizer, BB cream, or CC cream. If you want a medium to full coverage and more control over your shine and oil production, you may want to use a liquid, cream, or powder foundation.
You can choose a shade that matches your skin tone exactly or one that is slightly darker or lighter depending on your desired look. You can also mix two shades together to create your perfect match. You can apply a foundation or tinted moisturizer after applying your primer. You can use your fingers, a sponge, or a brush to apply and blend the product evenly and smoothly all over your face or on the areas where you need it.
Concealer
A concealer is a product that covers up any specific imperfections that your foundation or tinted moisturizer may not be able to hide. It helps conceal any dark circles, blemishes, redness, scars, or hyperpigmentation that may affect your appearance and confidence. To apply concealer, you need to use your fingers or a small brush. Start by cleansing and moisturizing your face as usual. Then, dot a small amount of concealer on the areas you want to cover up, such as under your eyes, around your nose, on your chin or on any blemishes. Blend the concealer gently with your fingers or brush until it looks seamless and natural. Avoid rubbing or dragging the product too much as this can cause creasing or caking.
Powder
A powder is a product that sets your makeup and gives it a more natural finish. It helps reduce any shine or oiliness on your face and makes your makeup last longer and prevent it from smudging or fading.
Brow Gel
Brow gel is a type of makeup product that is designed to shape, fill and define the brows. Brows are one of the most important features on the face as they frame the eyes and define the expression. Brow gel can help create a fuller, more symmetrical and more expressive brow look.
Brow gel can help you achieve a more groomed and polished appearance by taming unruly or sparse brows. Brow gel can also enhance your natural brow colour or add some dimension and contrast to your face.
To apply brow gel for men, you need to use the applicator brush that comes with the product. Start by brushing your brows upward with the brush to lift and separate the hairs. Then, apply a small amount of brow gel on the brush and comb it through your brows in short, upward strokes until they look groomed and full.
Mascara
Mascara adds length, volume and colour to the lashes. It also helps open up the eyes and make them look more awake and alert.
Mascara can help you achieve a more defined and dramatic eye look by enhancing your natural lash colour or adding some contrast to your eye colour. Mascara can also make your eyes look bigger and brighter by creating an illusion of depth and dimension.
To choose the right mascara for men, you need to match it to your lash type and desired effect. Mascaras come in different formulas, such as waterproof, lengthening, volumizing, curling or defining. They also come in different colours, such as black, brown, blue or purple. Choose a formula that suits your lash type and needs. For example, if you have short lashes, you may want to use lengthening mascara. If you have straight lashes, you may want to use curling mascara.
