WarPaint For Men : Makeup and skincare tips to look and feel confident this summer, from War Paint For Men Founder, Danny Gray
Base prep – Great makeup starts with healthy skin. Prepping the skin is the key to ensuring any makeup you apply afterwards, like tinted moisturiser or concealer, sits well on the skin and lasts all day. Start by using a hydrating cleanser with warm water to wash your face. Follow this up with a hydrating moisturiser and then a primer to create the best base for any makeup. It’s a good idea to leave the primer for a minute or so before going in with makeup.
SPF always – It’s important to wear SPF every single day to protect your skin from sun damage. Don’t worry; sun cream designed for your face isn’t the same greasy stuff you’d use for your body. They’re often lighter and non-greasy, helping to create a good base for makeup.
Foundation vs tinted moisturiser – Sometimes, a foundation can feel a bit too much in the warmer months, so instead, you can opt for a tinted moisturiser. These offer light coverage to your complexion while keeping the skin moisturised.
Cool eyes – Using an eye cream is a great start to help combat dark under eyes and crow’s feet. A great hack to really wake up and refresh tired eyes when it’s warm outside is to keep your eye cream in the fridge. Anything cooling will also help depuff your eyes and help you feel fresher on a hot day.
Even complexion – To make sure your makeup looks even and natural, use a brush or sponge for application. When applying foundation or tinted moisturiser, blend it all over your face, up to your hairline and down your neck to make sure it looks natural. Take extra care to blend in areas that crease which might get warmer during the summer, such as around the nose and under the eyes. Application brush
Get bronzed – Do you want that just-back-from-holiday look without reaching for the fake tan? Try using a bronzer to lightly contour the face and bring extra warmth to the look of your skin. Lightly sweep the bronzer across the top of the forehead and cheekbones using a powder brush. Gently buff out any harsh lines using the brush. Bronzer
Facial hair focus – Beard or brows looking a little patchy or even lighter after time in the sun? You can keep facial hair looking fuller and thicker with a makeup pencil. Keep the pencil sharp, and you’ll be able to draw hair-like strokes to fill any patches or lighter areas. Plus, try using a small comb to blend and shape the hair. The Fix and Fill Pocket Set
Don’t sweat it – If you’re worried about looking sweaty or oily, using a light, translucent powder on the face can help take away shine. Gently sweep the powder in circular motions over any areas of your face which can look shiny, usually the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin). Anti-shine-powder
