A guide to men's cosmetics
Types of men’s makeup
Men's makeup really comes in the form of three categories. Firstly, there's the cover up range. Very popular amongst younger gentlemen and those with redness conditions, concealer, foundation and BB creams really head up this category and are becoming so so popular.
The second category comes in the form of bronzing products. Bronzing lotions, powders and tinted moisturisers are the three types of product in this category and are chosen by men throughout the winter months especially to add a bit of healthy colour to their skin. Men with uneven skin tone, pale skin and rough areas are most likely to buy bronzing products and providing application is mastered, it really does look great. Such products are preferred to fake tan products because they can be quickly washed off.
The final category comes in the way of men's eye makeup products. Designed for the guy who wants to stand out or simply add a bit of depth to his eyes. Whether it's mascara for men, guyliner or even eye brow gel to manage unruly brows, there's plenty of options in this male makeup category.
