Stealth makeup items for men 1BB cream

Whether it is due to lack of sleep, stress, or age, there are more and more people around us who say, “You don’t look well” or “Are you tired? or “Do you look tired? For men who are concerned about their skin’s complexion and dullness, we recommend the use of “BB cream. This is an item that integrates the functions of sunscreen, makeup base, and foundation, completing base makeup in a single product. It is also ideal for beginners in the field of makeup, as they can apply BB cream to their makeup just as they would apply sunscreen to their face.

Most of the “beauty-conscious” men around me wear BB cream. And if you just apply BB cream that matches your complexion, I think it is almost impossible for people around you to know that you are wearing makeup. For the sake of research, I suddenly asked a friend if she had ever used BB cream, and she replied, ” I’m still wearing it!” She replied, “I’m still applying it! I think the advantage of BB cream is that it can easily cover up areas of concern while remaining close to bare skin.

“Concealers” can be used to cover blemishes, dark circles, dull corners of the mouth, acne scars, and other pinpoint areas of concern. This cosmetic can be used on its own or in addition to BB cream to cover areas that cannot be fully covered. Concealer also has the advantage of preventing the thick application of foundation or BB cream.

Concealers can be used not only to hide dark circles and blemishes, but also to cover eyebrows and shaved areas. When shaping my eyebrows, I use a brush-pen type liquid concealer, which is easy to apply to small areas and does not easily become uneven. For shaving marks, you can try layering an orange concealer to cover them nicely!

For Men Stealth Makeup Items 3Face Powder

“Face shine” is the enemy of cleanliness. It is said that men secrete about 2 to 3 times more sebum than women, making their faces shiny and sticky easily. Face powder” is an effective way to reduce the shine and oiliness of the face. Many men may resist the idea of putting powder on their face because it makes them feel like they are wearing makeup, but if you are concerned about your face shininess, please give it a try and see if you are fooled. Face powder is a makeup item that uses fine powder to absorb excess sebum from the face and cover up shine and pores, leaving the skin with a smooth texture after application. Since a colored face powder will change the color of the skin, a non-colored type of face powder is recommended for men to use as stealth makeup.

Editor Konno
There are two types of face powders with different textures. The loose type is a light, powdery type, while the solidified type is a “presto” type. The former gives a softer, more natural look, while the latter is characterized by its ability to produce a matte texture. I tend to have a shiny T-zone (forehead and nose), so I carry the presto type with me and use it on key points whenever I feel uneasy!

For Men Stealth Makeup Items 4Eyebrow Items

Eyebrows are such an important part of the face that “80% of your facial impression is determined by the shape and position of your eyebrows. If thin eyebrows are covered up by drawing them in with an eyebrow pencil or eyebrow powder, even if they are thin, they will look a little “drawn on,” and it will not be stealth makeup. For stealth eyebrow makeup that looks natural and gives the impression of a change, we recommend using a transparent eyebrow mascara. Eyebrow mascara keeps the hairs in place and keeps them flowing, so you will experience a natural, solid look. It also makes the eyebrows look shiny, which helps to eliminate the wild look, and is easy to use, even for makeup beginners.

Editor Konno
Just having well-groomed eyebrows gives a fearless impression to the face and also creates a three-dimensional effect around the eyes. If you want to get a fearless impression in a short time, why not start with a transparent eyebrow mascara? If you don’t have enough hair volume to use mascara, we recommend using an eyebrow pencil to draw in thin areas. The basic rule is to choose a pencil with a color that is as close to the color of your natural hair as possible.

Four basic stealth makeup items What are the steps to use?

Basically, stealth makeup can be done in the form of taking care of only the points that concern you. using all four basic items introduced above is of course fine, but for example, use BB cream if you are only concerned about facial blood color or dullness, or use only concealer if you are concerned about blemishes at points. If you use more than one item, do not use them indiscriminately, but be mindful of the basic procedure and use BB cream, concealer, powder, and eyebrow items in that order (if there is one item you do not use, skip that step). When applying stealth makeup, it is recommended not to be overly self-conscious, but to make use of one’s own skin texture and coloring to bring out one’s natural attractiveness rather than to hide flaws.
