Even if men’s makeup is all the rage at the moment, eyeshadow, false eyelashes, lipstick and mascara, there are some to whom it doesn’t speak at all… So for the elegant but rather understated looking men make-up- lift like a chicken looks at a fork, know that there are anyway very easy to apply small touches of invisible make-up that allow you to beautify your sweet face in all discretion, neither seen nor known! You can totally wear them for special occasions or even daily as you wish. This will be our little secret…
We explain everything in this article.
1/ To intensify the look, eyebrow mascara
Mascara will be perfect for you if you want to tame very bushy eyebrows or want to intensify their natural color.
What is an eyebrow mask?
An eyebrow mascara is the same as for the eyelashes, but for the eyebrows! It consists of a small straight brush submerged in a tube that contains the product in liquid or cream form. Eyebrow mascara can be tinted or colorless. If your brows are out of control and you just want to discipline them, just like with hair gel, go for colorless mascara. If you also want to intensify the color of your eyebrows, prefer a colored mascara. Just pay attention to the shade you choose, it should be as close as possible to the natural color of your eyebrows.
Which to choose ?
There are a lot of them on the cosmetic market, but if you want to use a well-composed brow mascara, we recommend Lavera. Available in tinted or clear, it offers excellent value for money. There are also beard and eyebrow masks, interesting if you want to kill two birds with one stone without the morning fuss.
How to apply it?
Applying your eyebrow mask is very simple. Simply brush your eyebrows in the direction of hair growth. One layer is enough. In a few seconds, the product dries and voila! Your brows are redefined and stay well in place, without a hint of make-up showing!
2/ For gun eyes, the eyelash curler
Here’s the big, the strong, the unbeatable… I called the lash curler! If you share the daily life of a woman, surely you have already come face to face with this object and that it has left you suspicious.
An eyelash curler, what is it?
An eyelash curler is that small metallic object that can sometimes evoke the shape of an instrument of torture… Don’t be scared, gentlemen, it’s not like that! Under its strange shape hides the ally of the beautiful looks. It is not about make-up in the strict sense since it simply allows, as its name suggests, to curl the eyelashes and thus obtain a beautiful dark look in a single gesture. Most women use it before applying mascara, but we can tell you that even without mascara, the eyelash curler makes all the difference… Plus, did we ever tell you that lush, elegant lashes make women fall in love? Well now you know.
Which to choose ?
All eyelash curlers look more or less the same. Often it is the design and branding that sets them apart. But an eyelash curler is an eyelash curler! So don’t worry. Avril’s €2 eyelash curler will do the trick.
How to apply it?
Applying it is very simple. Position the eyelash curler flush with your lashes, being careful not to catch your eyelid. Once well placed, pinch and hold for a few seconds making small pulses. If you’re a little scared to start, here’s a quick little tutorial.
3/ For a healthy glow, my pencil, BB cream or concealer
Lastly, if you want to recover a baby complexion without applying foundation, we present its two allies: the BB cream that will allow you to unify your complexion while being transparent, and the concealer to discreetly camouflage small imperfections.
Which ones to choose?
For the BB cream it is a bit complicated to answer this question because everything will depend on your skin type. If you have quite dry skin, you will have to resort to a fairly rich cream. For oily skin, opt for more fluid textures. Choose the shade that matches your skin tone.
For example, we can recommend Jonzac’s Perfect Skin BB Cream or IMAN BB, which offer a wider range of shades.
If it’s mainly dark circles under your eyes or untimely pimples that are causing you problems, opt for a good concealer, a 2-in-1 that will soon become essential! There we can only recommend the crème de la crème, the Tarte brand Shape Tape .
How to apply them?
To apply your BB cream, your fingers will be fine! But of course you can use a brush if you prefer. For concealer concealer, we recommend that you use a small makeup sponge for precision. Remember to hydrate your skin well beforehand. As for the amounts to take, be parsimonious.
Now you know everything about makeup that allows you to look beautiful in all invisibility! And if you’ve ever found yourself in front of an eyelash curler and wondered if you’re really living with a killer, trust the comments…
