A great product that is effective in avoiding the “blue mustache,” the great enemy of the good-looking man.

A great product that is effective in avoiding the "blue mustache," the great enemy of the good-looking man.

There are some handsome men who are not just “good for their age,” but who exude the charm of sophisticated adults. Their mature atmosphere, concern for others, professional attitude, and the ability to enjoy life – all combine to create an austere radiance. I am a beauty geek who sincerely wishes to increase the number of such wonderful men. I leave the internal refinement to each individual, but I would like to take charge of the external refinement. In this project, I will introduce items that I have carefully selected. I hope that through my articles, there will be as many attractive, good-looking males as possible. In this fourth installment, I will introduce a masterpiece that can cover a blue beard.

The nemesis of the good-looking man, the item to avoid Orange concealer to fight off blue beards with complementary colors!

Among the most common problems faced by men in their quest for cleanliness is ” blue beard. For men who work or interact with people frequently, a blue beard that remains blue even after shaving, even though they shave deeply every morning, is a point of concern. It is more noticeable when the skin is white and thin, or when the beard grows thick and dense. In addition, people with fast-growing hairs are more likely to have the blue tinge come back over time, even after shaving. However, some people find it difficult to take the plunge into ” beard removal,” which is often cited as a solution to blue beards. Many feel that the hurdle is high in terms of cost and time, and that there is a possibility that they may want to “grow a beard” in the future. Some say that even if they use BB cream as a cover for their blue beards, “the effect is not enough.” BB cream has the effect of making the skin tone look even, but that is against redness and dullness. Therefore, even if BB cream is spread over a wide area, it may not provide sufficient coverage of the all-important blue mustache.

To solve this problem, I would like to propose an orange-based concealer. By using orange, which is the complementary color of blue, the blue tint is neutralized and becomes less noticeable. There are three different concealer application sequences, depending on the thickness of the blue beard and the type of concealer used. Basically, the rule of thumb is to use items with a high moisture content first. Items with a high water content moisturize the skin and increase the adhesion of the item used afterward. Conversely, if an item with a low moisture content is used first, it will act as a lid and not blend well into the skin.

(1) For light coverage Sunscreen and near-transparent base, then orange concealer. For a sunscreen/primer, I recommend KANEBO’s Cream in Day, which I introduced in my previous article ” 3 Reasons Why KANEBO’s Famous Daytime Cream is Ikeoji’s Secret Weapon.” Using a primer improves the adhesion of the concealer to the skin, preventing it from drying out and collapsing.
(2) For moderate coverage BB cream, then orange concealer.
(3) For firm coverage Apply in this order if the pigmentation of the BB cream is strong and heavy, or if you use a concealer with a high moisture content. If the BB cream is too pigmented or heavy, or if you use a concealer with a high moisture content, apply in this order.

In any case, after shaving and skincare in the morning, apply sunscreen or primer before using concealer.

Below are two great orange concealers. To cover the blue mustache around the mouth, which moves around a lot, we selected a concealer that does not dry easily, adheres well, and does not break easily. The liquid type for a natural finish and the palette type for high coverage are selected respectively.

Orange Concealer Masterpiece 1KANEBO Designing Color Liquid 03 Apricot Orange

KANEBO’s concealers are known as “beauty liquid concealers,” and their high moisturizing power and “no bad effects on the skin” are attractive. The appeal of KANEBO concealer is its high moisturizing power and reassuring feeling that “there is nothing wrong with the skin. It contains sodium hyaluronate as a moisturizing ingredient, so it does not dry out the skin. According to the official KANEBO website, No. 03, apricot orange, is also effective in preventing blue beards, making it a great item for men. The liquid type formula stretches well and gives a natural finish. While being lightweight, it provides both coverage and moisturizing power, making it ideal for those who are concerned about dryness around the mouth.

Orange Concealer Masterpiece 2&be concealer

“&be” is produced by hair and makeup artist Yusuke Kawakita. The brand offers a “natural yet sophisticated finish” and is supported by many women and men. The “&be” brand’s “concealer” is a famous product that has been selected as one of the best cosmetics in women’s beauty magazines many times in the past. As the name suggests, the ” concealer ” is a combination of foundation and concealer. It comes in a set of two colors, an orange color and a beige color, but if you buy the refill one, you only get the orange part. The soft texture of this product leaves a bare skin-like finish without a thick feel. It is a free formulation & non-comedogenic tested, so it can be used safely for sudden skin irritations. It has more coverage than the liquid type, so it is recommended for those who want to cover blue beards well. You can also use it by applying the orange first to the areas where you are concerned about blue beards, and then blend the beige over it.
