No longer just for women, makeup for men has increased in popularity. Learn how to correctly apply men’s cosmetics with these tips.
You Will Need
- Foundation
- Concealer
- Blush
- Powder
- Eyeliner
- Mascara
- A makeup brush
- Tissue
- Clear lip gloss or lip balm
Step 1: Conceal blemishes
Use a thin layer of foundation, or dot concealer on blemishes, enlarged pores, and under-eye circles.
Don’t use foundation on your cheeks if you have facial hair.
Step 2: Highlight with blush
With each layer of makeup you apply, go easy. It’s easier to add more than to remove it if you use too much.
Step 3: Apply powder
Apply powder to smooth out foundation and reduce shine. Powder comes in both a loose and a compact version.
Step 4: Emphasize eyes
Emphasize your eyes by lining your upper lids, right against the eyelashes, with black or brown eyeliner.
Step 5: Define lashes
Define your lashes with black or brown mascara. Wipe the brush with a tissue before applying to avoid clumps.
Step 6: Protect with lip balm
Protect your lips by applying clear lip gloss or lip balm.
In ancient Egypt, both men and women wore eye makeup.
