I wrote this page a long time ago maily to help people who want to cover up their acne scar and but don't know how to start. Here are some help.http://www.geocities.com/research_note/acn...and_makeup.htmlMen have hard time thinking about makeup, but one thing we need to keep in mind is the flawless application is what you need. You cannot achieve that with using color that does not match your skintone. Sometimes women also make mistake by selecting wrong shade concealer or foundation, which just make your acne scare more prominent. Let me make it clear one more time
if you want to use cosmetic to cover or hide your scar, you have to have the exact match color.Here are some cosmetic brands.
for men (just to show you that guys also have their makeup too) oh well....if women want to use them, why not.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I don't have anything to do with any of these companies at all, just want to help you understand a little bit more about how to cover up your acne scars. That's all.The first two are corrective makeup. They are created for people with problematic skin who need some coverage. These first two are for both male and female.
1) Exuviance by Neostrata1.1 Coverblend Multi-Function Concealer SPF 15 has 4 color choices.
•Where to get them:

2) Dermablend•Where to get them:

This brand create makeup for people with severe scar and people with medical condition. I used this cover cream long time ago. It requires some practice but look really good if you apply them correctly.

Slow day at work today...so my co-workers and I compiled a list of makeup tips. All product names mentioned are obviously all MAC...and even more obviously you don't have to use MAC products for these tips but you can check out maccosmetics.com for reference of the product colors we're talking about. And I elaborated a little on MAC skincare products most people don't know about. I always love hearing makeup tips from other people (you can never have enough tips, right?), so hopefully someone finds something here useful.
The best way to wear bright eye shadows is to use a neutral brow highlight (like Shroom), a mid-tone brown in the crease (like Kid), and the bright eye shadow only on your lid. Very subtle!
Having trouble blending your eye shadow? Apply your crease color first, and then work from there. This will soften the harsh lines of the crease color.
Still having trouble blending eye shadows? Dip your blending brush is a little loose translucent powder before blending.
Use colored eyeliner (navy, dark purple, bronze) to line your top and bottom lash lines, then use jet black eye kohl to line the "outer V" of your lash line.
Bright pink blush (like Dollymix) is flattering on everyone! Just apply it very lightly.
A bronze smoky eye is 100 times sexier than a traditional black and gray smoky eye. Best bronze smoky eye products: Vanilla eye shadow (highlight), Honesty eye shadow (crease), Bronze eye shadow (lid), Naked Lunch (tear duct), Smolder Eye Kohl eyeliner, and two coats of mascara.
Use Shadesticks and Cream Color Bases under eye shadows and Pigments to modify the color.
Use iridescent powder to highlight cheekbones, brow bone, and tear duct. Instantly wakes up your face!
Apply bronzing powder underneath your chin and jaw to make your face appear thinner.
Use Paints and Fluidlines as eye shadow bases.
Using a contrasting color to line your lower lash line always make your eyes stand out!
A subtle wash of color is sometimes prettier than constantly wearing dark shadows. Try wearing Vex eye shadow on your lid, Beautiful Iris eye shadow in the crease, and Vanilla eye shadow to highlight.
Liquid eyeliner is ultra glam- but sometimes tricky. To fix any mistakes, use a Q-tip dipped in a non-greasy eye makeup remover and then use another Q-tip to fix any holes in your eye shadow.
Your brows are sisters, not twins! They don't have to be identical, just similar.
Use a brow powder and an angled brush to fill in brows. Looks more natural than brow pencils.
Be weary of using eye shadow to fill in your brows. Eye shadows commonly contain more oil than brow powders, so it is more likely to smudge and smear.
Mulch eye shadow + Blue Herizon Liquidlast Liner = HOT. Trust me.
Easy contouring: apply bronzing powder to the hollows of your cheeks, then blush to the apples of your cheeks, and an iridescent powder to your cheekbones.
If you want to add a little sparkle to your eyes but are weary of using shadows to line your eyes (or in my case, you believe that Softsparkle Pencils are gritty glittery sticks of evil), apply your regular non-waterproof eye liner, and then use an angle brush to apply a dark shimmery shadow (like Black Tied)...it will stick to the liner and give you a much more subtle shimmering eyeliner without being globs of glitter.
Never neglect your brows!! Always make sure your brows are well-groomed. Clean up, shape, fill in any holes with brow powder/pencil, and keep in place with brow wax. A nicely groomed brow really emphasizes your eyes and frames your face.
Cremestick Liners are so overlooked! These are cream-based (not wax-based!) highly pigmented and moisturizing lip liners. Apply a Cremestick Liner all over lips before applying a Lipglass.
In a hurry? Essential steps not to ignore: define brows, highlighter/iridescent powder beneath brow bone and tear duct, concealer, bronzing powder, and mascara.
Avoid the overuse of shimmery and frost-finish eye shadows. Use at least one matte or satin eye shadow in your everyday look.
Use Fix+ to set makeup.
(MAC Fix+ is a water based spritz of vitamin and minerals, infused with a calm-the-skin blend of green tea, chamomile, and cucumber, topped off with the fresh, natural, energizing scent of Sugi. Adds radiance, finishes makeup)
After picking up eye shadow with a brush, spritz some Fix+ onto the brush before you apply the shadow. Really intensifies the eye shadow color!
Lip Conditioner can be used on dry spots on your eyelid and eyebrow. This really works!
Mix Strobe Cream with Blushcremes to make your cheeks glow.
(MAC Strobe Cream is a lightly moisturizing lotion packed with potent botanicals; de-snoozes, de-stresses, moistens, freshens and boosts the look of dull, flat or tired-looking skin with a fully loaded vitamin zap and a mega dose of green tea. Brightens and clarifies with iridescent particles and antioxidants. It enhances the effects of light on all skin and in all lighting conditions from sunlight to spotlight. Use Strobe Cream on top of your moisturizer; it really shouldn't replace your face lotion.)
Mix Strobe Cream with your foundation.
Use Gilded White Eye Kohl on your eyelid and place eye shadow on top to intensify your eye shadow.
Also another use for Lip Conditioner (clear) is to use it on your brows to groom them and make them appear a little darker rather than filling them in.
Use clear packing tape to remove any oil spots you may get on your Studio Fix compact foundation or other compact face powders. Just place the tape over the spots, rub over gently and lift away
To help ensure your lipstick doesn't bleed, after you apply your lipstick, dip a Q-tip in loose powder and trace the outline of your lips
Use a highlighter above your cupid's bow (the spot above the center of your upper lip) for a plumper lip look.
Instead of contouring, trying just highlighting, as it looks more natural. Add a slight line of shimmer down the bridge to make it appear thinner.
Iridescent blue, pink, lavender, silver, or gold powder in the inner corner (tear duct) of the eye = well-rested eyes, no matter what else you're wearing with it.
When setting your foundation with powder, swirl your brush in the powder, tap off excess, and blot on face softly, don't "brush" it on... it really makes a difference.
For blending in the crease, use a circular motion. When you just drag the brush across the crease, you end up with a big racing stripe...not so cute. So start with running it across, but on the outer edge, use small circular motion to blend, blend, blend.
Sprinkle some Vanilla pigment in Fix+ spray. Makes your face look so supple!
Mix metallic eye shadows. Use a charcoal silver eye shadow (like Silver Ring) in the crease with shimmering gold eye shadow on the lid (like Retrospect). Absolutely gorgeous and so sexy.
Use Cleanse-Off Oil before using your facial cleanser. It removes all makeup without drying skin. It's oil-based but does not contain mineral oil, so it would clog pores or irritate skin!

So, I thought it would be fun to post reviews of products, and offer tips to others who are looking for new, innovative, inexpensive, hassle-free tips and products for hair; instead of having to sift through a bunch of threads, you could find it all in one place. Especially recommend products that combat acne breakouts.
I love hair; I know a lot about hair, have tried many, many products, and it's important to keep your hair healthy. So, have fun! Avoid Hairicide!
_____________________________________________________________
*Products I Currently Use (But Not On A Daily Basis):- Biolage Hydra Therapie Shampoo (This is a great shampoo for thick, dry, coarse hair that needs a boost of hydration).
- Biolage Hydra Therapie Ultra-Conditioning Balm (This is a great conditioner that really conditions my hair the way it's supposed to without weighing it down).
- Biolage Hydra Therapie Fortifying Leave-In Treatment (I use this rarely because it builds up in my hair; but it's great for overworked ends).
- Biolage Hydra Therapie Leave-In Conditioner (I use this once per week only because I don't like to overwork my hair. But it's a great leave-in conditioner. It's even great to use before you shampoo to protect your hair).
- Garnier Pliable Clay (I use this a few times a week to give my hair a roughness, edge, and abstract shape when styling. It dissolves and washes out wonderfully).
- Garnier Shine Wax (This is great for smoothing out bangs. I use this about a few times per week).
- Dermarest Shampoo for Psoriasis (I have begun using this 2x per week because of my scalp sensitivity and it really helps).
- design line by Regis Tea Tree Shampoo & Conditioner (This stuff is really great. I love the way it makes my scalp feel).
- Citre` Shine Anti-Frizz Serum or TRESemmé No Frizz Shine Spray (I use these sparingly because a small amount is all that's required for either product to work wonders).
- TRESemmé Thermal Creations Volumizing Mousse (I use this 1-2x per week for voluminious hair. I work it through my hair when it's damp, then flip my hair forward, and blow-dry on a cool temperature, gradually increasing to the lowest warm temperature a few inches from my scalp).
- TRESemmé Thermal Creations Straightening Gel (I use this only when I flat iron my hair which isn't too often).
- Nature's Style Shampoo & Conditioner (These are both Sulfate and Silicon free, so I use them when I need to give my hair a break. They work well, but because my hair is so thick, and oily, I can only use them once per week).
*Tools that I use for my hair:- A wide-tooth comb (I use this to get out any small tangles. I also use it in the shower to distribute conditioner, because it's the only hair tool that won't kill your hair when wet, like a brush would).
- A round brush (I use this for the sole purpose of smoothing and adding volume to my hair when blow-drying).
- Blow-dryer (I use the Remington All-That, which is great and doesn't damage my hair because it uses negative-ions to reduce static and frizz. It's small, has an air-filter so you can remove lint and hair).
- Flat-Iron (I use a small Conair Satin Finish 3/4" Ultra-Slim Ceramic Straightener. It works wonders and hasn't really caused any damage to my hair. There was part that was prone to damage, but it doesn't even give me split-ends. However, I recommend that anyone who uses a flat iron to use a heat-protectant product of some sort to minimize damage or even prevent it. I also have been using a Her Styler, which is a higher end ceramic flat iron. It's similar to a Chi, but different. It doesn't damage my hair, and I love it.)
- Tooth Brush (This may seem weird, but it's great for areas that are prone to fly-away hairs. If you take an unused toothbrush, and use some styling gel, wax, or any type of smoothing cream, it will really help those areas to reduce fly-away hairs).
- Spray Bottle (This is a miraculous tool because during the winter when your hair gets really dry, if you spritz your hair twice throughout the day, and apply an anti-frizz serum, you will help smooth your hair and reduce frizz. This is also great during the summer when your hair is prone to frying and damage due to the sun).

Ok, so I was gona put this in the “Why are guys so afraid of make-up? ” thread, but decided to make my own because it’s not just about guys
I still think guys wearing makeup is weird, I don’t couldn’t care less if they wear it, it’s their choice and who am I to stop them, and if it makes them feel better about themselves good on them. I just like expressing my opinions.
I think the entire concept of wearing makeup in general has many flaws and can create some serious problems for a lot of people. Example - my sister wears makeup nearly 24/7 she can’t live without it, and when she washes it off she always complains about how disgusting her skin is, the redness, uneven skin tone, oiliness, the works and it’s really sad when I see her like that. I’m sure there are a lot of chicks and even guys out there that also think this when all they need to do is start getting use to the skin they were given instead if plastering there face with, and if there not happy do something about it via the inside of your body instead of the outside, think about what kind of food your eating and your life style choices, like the old saying goes – you are what you eat, instead of covering it up with stuff that suffocates your skin and probably doesn’t do it any good in the long run. I know there are some of you that can’t go without makeup because you have rosacea or something similar but all I can say is try not to use it so much.
Some of you probably think I’m being a hypocrite seeing as I have acne and use stuff to help my skin via the outside of my body, but I’m speaking strictly in terms of wearing makeup not regimens to help get rid of acne. Or you may be thinking “what would he know, he doesn’t wear makeup”, I don’t have to wear it to have an opinion about it
But just have a think about it the kind of makeup used today has never even been used before and no one really knows for sure what the long term effects are. They could be good, they could be bad but why take the risk if you already have bad skin now, imagine what your skin will be like when you’re old. Your acne may be gone but imagine what all those years with makeup on your face everyday would have done.
If you disagree with me, or have a different opinion please reply to this. I would like to hear your side of the story.

Hi all. Well, this is my first post here in the cosmetics' forum... I'm sure many before me have asked this same question but I'm not sure where to find those threads. So I need to ask what make up you have found covers acne the best in the daytime, and in bright lights? And also, what have you found works best in dim lighting? If you could give me tips on applying, that'd help too. I have severe acne... large swelled lumps on several parts of my face, & smaller zits as well. I also have scars and discoloration. Basically, you name it, and I've got it... lol. Well, I really need some help here, as there's a thing I'm going to soon and I'd love to look my best. Thanks in advance...

Hello. I'm Wynne and I'd like you to step forward with your tale of conquest by EM.
I'm a light olive intensive.
I discovered that EM makeup looks great over some liquid foundations and adds depth and contrast to the monotone color of the liquid foundation.
The intensive formulas can be applied wet or dry! Use a concealer brush with damp foundation to cover blemishes to perfection. Dust and buff the dry foundation over the whole face, starting from the hair line or the sides of the face and you'll have a perfect finish.
Please post your EM tips and tricks.
Clarification: I'm not an Everyday Minerals expert. I started this thread as a bit of a joke; I love the makeup but we are perhaps a bit silly about our love of it so thus this thread.

So...I have always stayed away from foundation (liquid, mineral, powder, tinted moisturizers, etc) because they ALLLLLLLLL make me breakout. I try to only wear full face makeup if I have an event I have to wear it for. I have tried every mineral makeup and expensive liquid foundations down to drugstore brands. Even if it says non-comodogenic or oil-free it is guaranteed to cause new breakouts by the time I wash it off at night. Does anyone who has sensitive skin have any suggestions on liquid or powder foundations that don't cause additional breakouts? I currently have kiss my face tinted moisturizer, EDM, BareMinerals, Cargo oil-free foundation, and they all make me breakout. I am currently using Taz and Duac so my skin is crazy dry as well.

hi ladies and gentlemen!
I just wanna know if you heard about that powder. I ve been suffering from acne for years and unfortunately I have to make up generally on my daily routine
but I couldnt find a good powder or foundation that doesnt make me broke out , cover well and control shine. I ve tried mineral ones also but because of the brush application it also causes me break out cuz my skin is so sensitive and reacts against to make up brushes.
So yesterday the girl in the pharmacy recommended this powder to me. I controlled ,it doesnt contain any bismuth or talc and she said it also fights against acne. but I want to know if it covers well and control shine... anyone tried this before?

Okay, heres my quick question:
Way back in summer I had my skintone matched for Double Wear Original Foundatio. They guy matched me with Fresco, and mentioned something about Pink undertones. However, when I apply my foundation, it looks a little pinkish to my original skintone on my neck. Does this mean I have to go with a shade lighter or darker? I really suck at picking out shades, so I could use a little help on what I should do...
Thanks!

I hear philosophy kiss me clear tube is good, but on MUA people complain about a smell. Has anyone tried it? I'd be using it as a lip balm. I currently use Vaseline, and my boyfriend won't kiss me with it on, because he hates the smell (I don't smell anything) and texture. If he wouldn't kiss me with kiss me clear tube on, either, that would defeat the purpose of finding a new balm.

Any users of Jane Iredale products on the site? What are you thoughts? I was just browsing the internet and saw some of their products that look interesting, however some things about it scare me to use it...such as the Tinted Moisturizer. The TM has algae extract, which I read can cause breakouts...
I was also interested in possibly trying Mineral Makeup...I know Jane Iredale has some as well, but can anyone give me Mineral Makeup basics? For example, I really don't use powder as a foundation, so how am I suppose to use powder foundation if it cakes!? Also, what are some good drugstore Mineral Makeup products to try? (NO BARE MINERALS OR SHEER COVER. Post them and I will exterminate you...no, jk. Just don't mention these two, since I read too much about them that I don't want to bother to try).
Thanks!

I have had acne for a while and I find it frustrating finding a makeup that will not clog and aggravate acne but also cover well. I have really persistent acne and I want to find a make up that works and i can keep using. It seems if i have tried tons of different brands and different textures. I was wondering if you have any suggestions for my make-up deliema?

Does anyone know a good company that sells cosmetics for men? Preferably all natural products...
I just need something to cover the red spots and active acne on special occasions or when I just feel like looking my best.. and maybe some powder to get a more even skin tone?
I found the company 4VOO. Anyone knows anything about them? They certainly are not selling all natural products but they claim that they sell quality stuff.

Ok so I have acne all over my face, like everywhere, not so much on my forehead but my cheeks are fully covered and my chin is pretty bad too. I wear makeup but the problem is, it looks cakey and when i go out for lunch (which i always do) my face gets greasy/oily and wears off, it looks horrible. I think people figured out I wear makeup recently because this asshole kid who is on my lunch will crack a makeup joke if theres ever an opprotunity, for example: we were walking and there was some mascara container on the ground and someone threw it at him and he said "i dont paint my face with makeup" and looked at the guy who threw it at him and they smerked like smug bastards. I HATE that ppl know =( anyways it's too late to do anything about that, but i need a natural looking makeup that doesn't wear off or look greasy. Also I tried using milk of magnesia as a laxative and i dont get those amazing results that everyone else does. ALSO my makeup doesn't even cover the acne like you can see all of it but its less red, still a little red, but obviously not as bad as not wearing any makeup. I need HELP because I feel like I can't sit close to someone because they can tell I'm wearing makeup, although from a decent distance I think it looks great. But like I mentioned I'm in highschool so I'm always sitting right beside ppl and theres nothing i can do. This makes me very tense and I look at the ground a lot. This absoloutely sucks, I'm on the verge of going on accutane but i really don't want to. HELP

I am a man. I have like three presentations at my uni per week that I have to give to 50+ people. I need to do something about my face, I think this is a pretty good excuse to use makeup since I have some nasty red marks all over my face.
So, I'm looking for a cosmetics company to cover my red marks. I've been googling for a few days and found very few companies that offer quality natural products. I am looking for a company whose products don't contain any ingredients that might aggravate acne or clog the pores. No parabens, mineral oils, fragrances and alcohol. In other words I am looking for natural products that do not have any possible skin irritants in them.
What would you recommend for a man anyway? Obviously I don't want anyone to realize I am wearing it. Only a concealer stick?

I use foundation to cover three massive acne related scars but have never bought make up wipes or removal what ever. I have been using an exfoliator to remove the make up for the months I've been using foundation on the scars. Is this a bad thing to do? I have noticed that my skin gets red and sore sometimes because I'm exfoliating the area so often....
Any help will be appreciated!

I'm terrible at picking stuff like this, but now that I'm a SAHM I'd really like to get myself a pair of really cute glasses so I don't have to wear contacts every day. I've never been satisfied with any of my purchases in the past so I'm hoping some of you can help me figure out what style would look best on my head/eye shape.

Anyone have a good eye cream that reduces wrinkles underneath the eyes? I need a new one, my mom's isn't working. lol
Basically I've been wearing eyeliner for 4 years almost every single day, and I've got wrinkles under my eyes from it. And I need something new... suggestions?
P.S - I can't get something that's like $20. Something cheap and that works would be great.

BACKGROUND:
Accutane has been great to me, with one exception: it has left my facial skin thinner, with a very uneven and pale complexion. This is partially due to the havoc that acne wreaked on my face, but also due to Accutane. I have two months to go (2/3 done my course) and am so thankful that my acne is almost completely gone. But if possible, I'd like to be able to enhance the skin I am left with.
If I break out at all-- this product is going to fail my test. I am sick of subpar products sold at high prices. This product, however, seems to promise more than any other tinted moisturizer I have come across. Acne sufferers/Accutane users-- brace yourselves!
I've decided that I am going to give the LA ROCHE POSAY Hydreane Teinte tinted moisturizer a shot. Gradual tanning moisturizers and other such products generally seem to be a guaranteed way to cause yourself breakouts if you are someone who has acne-prone, or acne-inhabited skin, but this one seems promising.
I will put my notes up in this thread once I have been using it for a few days.
My skin type is non-oily.
[attachment=22064:Snapshot...090914_2.jpg]
WHAT I AM TESTING FOR:
-ease of use (does it sweat off? does it look like makeup? is it easy to apply?)
-non-comedogenic or not? (did it cause breakouts? after one week? after two weeks?)
WHERE TO BUY IT:
-In Canada: Shoppers Drug Mart
-Check online for other countries.

So I was looking for a really good coverage foundation b/c I have to attend a wedding soon. And I was looking through youtube and saw some good reviews about Cover Fx Foundation and how it can even conceal tatoos etc. So I went to Shoppers Drug Mart today and got it! Actually I was looking for a sample to try it, but she said they don't give samples and I can return it if I don't like it. I have some hyperpigmentation right now on both cheeks and this stuff covered it nicely. She applied it on my face in the store, the color she gave me is M-70 and it is a good match for me. On their website, they have models with different skin tones and that way it is much easier to pick your color than just looking at the color on its own.
It is water based foundation
oil free
non comodogenic
fragrance free
SPF 15
Canadian $41 (with tax) for 30 ml, so a bit pricey but will probably last me a long time.
I will keep you guys updated how this foundation is working out for me but so far so good

I've been doing a lot of research on th boards about foundations to use to cover red marks and scarring, and it seems like the Doulbe Wear is the best.
(I've tried Revlon Colourstay, didn't like it, just not enough selection in shades and rubbed off too easy.)
Anyway I currently use Chanel Matt Lumiere which I love, but since starting accutane my red marks are really bad from the IB, I lso have some indented scars, and I need something more heavy duty.
I definitely want to try the Double Wear, and so many people on here seem to love it. But I was just wondering if any of you had before foundation and after pics so I can see just how good this foundation actually is

How do you guys who wear make up to cover acne and acne scarring deal with going to the beach and pools? Do you wear no make up or some sort of waterproof makeup?

Every single bronzer or blush that I have used has broken me out. I am not sure if it is an allergy but one or two weeks later I will get itchy whiteheads. I want to be able to wear a little bronzer or blush when I go out on the weekends, but I don't want to have to suffer from breakouts.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what products have you found that have worked well?

I recently went on a search to find the best makeup primer for oily and acne prone skin. I rea reviews like no other. I mean seriously for everything. Before I buy it I search the internet looking for hundreds on reviews on products I am interested in. in the long run it takes time but saves me so much money knowing whats a good product and whats not worth my cash. So, in search of the best primer for my oily skin I found that smashbox got great reviews, however it was pricey at $30 a tube, and some reviews stated it broke out their faces. Ugh, so smashbox was a no go. Thats when I stumbled upon a review for another primer that isn't suppose to be a primer............
It's Monistat chafing relief powder gel.
Ok I know what you are thinking...ew. Ok but this product is not for yeast infections lol. It is used for chafing and chapped skin, it just happens to be made by monistat.
So I am reading these reviews from women who have used this chafing gel as a primer on their face and I was quite intriged. Women said it provied them with a silky makeup application that lasted all day. And for us girlies with oily skin that can be a life saver. The gel contains Dimethicone the main active ingrediant in any other primer and many people comared this primer to the famous smashbox photo finish primer. I went through many reviews, all mostly postive, before I decided to take the plunge and purchase this.
yeah it was a little embarassing walking through walmart in the feminine care aisle and getting it but whatever those people probbly would never see me again. The monistat chafing reflief powder gel was $5.50 so wow huge savings compared to any other primer. I hav now been using this item for a couple days and I cannot tell you how glad I am I got this! It smooths my skin and controls my oil all day. My makeup does not look fresh all day but for like 12-13 hours its good! It sucks up the oil and somehow I really believe it has taken away some redness (other reviewers mentioned this too.) Seriously ladies you have got to try this if u want you makeup to stay all day and control your oil. just apply it after your moisturizer but before your foundation. only a small dab will work for your whole face so i can imagen this will last a long time. I AM SO IN LOVE! and for the record it has not broken me out at all. If anything my skin looks and feels smoother!
