Make up for men (neutrale make-up)


The idea of this kind of make up is to make it look absolutely invisible - or as invisible as possible. I concentrated on the skin and on the areas which needed correction. My model had quite dark under eye circles, some discoloration in that area and under-eye bags as well. However, he had a flawless skin so I didn't need to do any corrections there.

I started with priming the skin using Revlon photoready perfecting primer. I applied a very thin layer all over the face except for the beard area.
Then I applied a very thin layer of MAC Paint Pot in shade Soft Ochre on the lids to even out the
skin color and to hide any discoloration. Then I applied La Roche-Posay Hydreane BB Creme Light all over the face
except for the under eye area and the beard area. Next I applied MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in shade NC 20 under the eyes to cover up the darkness. I used beauty blender for application to get the maximum coverage. Afterwards I applied another layer of concealer - LA Girl HD Concealer in shade Natural. This covered up the darkness pretty good.

Then I used skin illuminator (Revlon Photoready Skinlights Face illuminator 100 bare light) on top of the cheekbones, on the bridge of the nose and under the eyes in the places which were most hollow.
I set everything with loose white setting powder by Grimase.
Then I contoured the sides of the face, forehead, nose and under the cheekbones using Revlon Colorstay eyeshadow in shade 05 Hazelnut.

I used this eyeshadow on the lower lids as well to create more depth which I lost applying concealers. I also applied off white eyepencil in the waterline.
Afterwards I filled in brows a bit using Maybelline's Color Tattoo cream eyeshadow in shade Taupe and small angled brush. I drew just a few small strokes mimicking the hair in eyebrows to achieve the most natural effect. Afterwards I brushed the brows through with some clear brow gel. As a last step I sprayed my model's face with fixing spray (from w7) to achieve the most natural effect.
