Making Makeup Easier

For years, I struggled with my appearance. No matter how hard I tried to put on makeup or pluck those eyebrows, I always ended up looking like a crazy person. Fortunately, one of my friends decided to help me out. For a few months, she came over every single morning and helped me to put on makeup, until I learned how to do it the right way. I found that I was doing a lot of things the wrong way, which was making the entire process take much longer than it needed to. Now that I am a seasoned makeup veteran, I decided to set up this website to help other people learn the tricks of the trade.

Makeup Tips For Men: How To Look Groomed, Cover Zits And Hide Under-Eye Circles

Subtle makeup can help many men achieve a more flawless and better groomed appearance. Do you have unwanted zits that take away from your overall glamorous self? Did you pull an all-nighter and now have under-eye circles that make you look tired and exhausted? All of these problems can be solved with some simple cosmetics. Makeup has been so well received by men that a recent poll showed that approximately 20% of men show a positive reaction to experimenting with makeup. If you want to look glamorous and well groomed, here are some simple tips that you can implement.

Cover And Conceal Zits

Face it: zits are simply distracting and take away from your natural glamor. When dealing with zits, apply ice, ibuprofen or even eye drops to the pimple for approximately 5 minutes. All three of these materials have the vasoconstriction properties that will be able to easily get the red out of the pimples, so that they don't stand out as much. Next, apply a blemish cream or a concealer to the area. Make sure that you pick a tone and color that will seamlessly blend in with your skin tone. Top it off by brushing or blotting on some loose powder to make sure that the color stays in place. 

You'll have successfully covered and concealed those problematic zits within just minutes, and have the illusion of a smoother face. You'll absolutely love how you look.

Hide Under-Eye Circles

Did you know that the skin underneath your eyes is approximately 0.5mm thick when the average thickness of skin covering the rest of your body is approximately 2mm? For this reason, it is easier to see the blood from the veins underneath your eyes. This, along with numerous additional factors, results in visible under-eye circles. Under-eye circles cause you to look older and more exhausted. Hiding the under-eye circles can help you appear more refreshed.

Choose a concealer or even use a foundation and layer it up to hide the discoloration. Although it seems easy, there is a little trick. Most people will unknowingly apply the concealer to the entire under-eye area; however, this is a cardinal sin. Apply the concealer to the areas that are discolored only, and use a sponge or a makeup brush to blend out the colors. When trying to hide under-eye circles, find a concealer with a yellow base. It'll do a better job at neutralizing the blues under your eyes.

Simple Tricks For Looking More Groomed

Do you want to look like you just came back from a photo shoot? Simple tricks like filling in your eyebrows or applying a bronzer can help bring out some of your better features. Even if you have dark eyebrows, you want to fill your eyebrows in with a dark brown powder or eyebrow pencil. Generally speaking, thicker eyebrows better portray youth, and for the most part, use powder instead of an eyebrow pencil for a more natural appearance. Groomed eyebrows will give you a natural eye lift that can help you look younger by years.

You want to get your eyebrows shaped every two weeks or so to make sure that your eyebrows are manageable. This is particularly true if you have a lot of hair everywhere. Don't overdo your eyebrows though or else you'll end up with no hair to work with, and your results will look a lot less natural.
