As a female, I`ve been able to experiment a lot with makeup over the years to find what types and techniques worked the best. I don`t really have acne anymore but still get the odd pimple. I also have a lot of red marks from previous years. What I do in the morning now takes about 15 minutes and it COMPLETELY covers everything. Literally, my skin looks flawless. Here it is:
1) Start with a good moisturizer all over the face. SPF is recomended! 2) Use a green cover stick on any pimples or red areas. Blend well! I prefer an actual stick rather than the liquid. 3) Apply foundation. I find that liquid foundation provides the best coverage. I use CoverGirl TruBlend. I also recomend applying it with a foundation brush rather than a sponge. I`ve used both and I find that a brush provides a more even and natural looking application. 4) I go over the foundation with a loose powder by Loreal. It`s their mineral powder foundation, but I use it as a finishing powder rather than its own foundation. It gets rid of shine from the liquid foundation, covers any spots left, erases pores, and makes your skin look smooth. 5)I always use blush to give my skin colour. Makeup always covers your skins natural colour so blush brings it back. I hope I helped some of you! Reply if you have any more question! |

Hello. I'm a guy.
So Im strongly considering using makeup to cover acne redmarks and scars. I have absolutely no experience using makeup. PS. I'm not looking for anything really thick or obvious. If it covers up ok that would be great. I don't want other guys to know I use makeup. So thanks |

Hi,
i am guy and following this advise on yahoo i was wondering if this is the product i am looking for. the advise : http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qi...17202745AA88OU9 Use a loose powder. The mineral powders are the most invisible... and you should try the "transluscent" color before you try any others. A big makeup brush makes it the most invisible, too. My favorite brand is that "Physician's Formula" at any druh store. Transluscent powder color is basically invisible, but deposits ultra-fine light reflective powder to your face, so the flaws are camoflauged. Also, if it gets wet or sweaty, no one will be able to see it on your face. Another bonus to this color is that as it wears off, it won't be seen on clothes. You don't get "makeup ring" at your neck. I don't like makeup. I like this. I have that red scandinavian skin, like you do, too. I got rid of alot of the red and acne scars by using coconut oil with a tiny bit of lavender essencial oil mixed in. Flakes and red AND scars were almost gone inside of 2 months. Best of luck to you! the product : http://nl.douglas-shop.com/douglas/Make-up...3000029762.html Illuminating Powder Finish with Lightreflecting Pigments Should i order this one ? |

Im a guy, I wear makeup, and i enjoy wearing it haha. Also im not gay, I have a girlfriend..she actually buys makeup with me sometimes. Yeah kinda weird haha. Anyways unless you're only going to use a little bit of conealer and maybe a little bit of powder, some people WILL kinda notice you're wearing some make up. So if you're not comfortable with having a few people notice your makeup i would defeintly stay away from "full" makeup. Im still trying to figure out what looks the most natural, Ive tried two different titnted moisturziers.... physicians formula, and laura mercier oil free. I didnt notice a huge difference between the two but my girlfriend tells me the laura mercier looks more natural.
I wash my face with purpose foaming wash, use one of those cotton circles with either some toner or jojoba oil to remove some dead skin, apply benzoyl peroxide ( let it dry), moisturize with cetaphil (generic one since it was cheaper), wait a few minutes than apply laura mercier oil free tinted moisturizer (Yes, you should still lmoisturize when using a tinted moisturizer, its really more of a foundation than a moisturizer.) Next, ill apply a little bit of conclear ( not much at all only on some of the darker spots) Than i put on a little bit of medium translucent physicians formula powder with a brush. The last thing i do is put on a tiny bit of sephora translucent anti shine powder (not much at all). Im still looking for the best way to apply makeup and not get a cakey or unnatural look, so any advice would be nice. Another thing, Im certain some people notice me wearing makeup, espeically on some days where ive applied it very bad and in natural lighting. You really just have to be ok with the fact that some people will notice you are wearing a bit, and if they say something, I think the best thing to do is just tell them you are wearing a tinted moisturizer to even out your skin tone and hide some red marks, or you can "makeup" (ha ha) some excuse and lie about it haha. |
