Impressive. What did you type in for your search? I’d be up for a similar consult. But I’m here in Cali.Let's be real.
In the tiktok era and lookism culture widely spreaded, there is literally NO A SINGLE FUCKING REASON not to boost your appearance using the makeup. You think it's gay? That's your business, no one really cares and study shows girls find more attractive guys boosted with the light makeup vs. no makeup and you almost need to be a walking tiktok filter 24/7 to catch cute girls attention, that's how fucked up the market now is.
My lifelong battle with acne seems to be finally won, so I was looking for a pro male makeupist who can teach me how I could achieve light, natural and undetectable makeup customized strictly for my needs.
I've googled a little and found out one guy. Saw his portfolio and was amazed: he works/worked with Ewan McGregor, Adam Lambert, Francisco Lachowski, Lucky Blue Smith and many more.
I immidiately called him and ask if he could perform a paid workshops/training session just for me in his studio. He was really happy and enthusiastic to do that, I got an email and we proceeded with the details. It cost me approx. 250 EUR.
My impression is huuuuge:
- It showed me the direction where I should go with my general looksmaxing journey and it was lifechanging beacuse some of my preferred future choices turned out to be totally wrong speaking about boosting the looks (and I made them mostly using knowledge of this site!). He worked with world class models (Chico/Lucky) for companies like Chanel, Gucci, Max Factor, Nivea, Oriflame, Avon, Sephora, Adidas, Netflix, Samsung, Tommy Hilfiger and definitely his advices were 100% on point regarded to my plans and I would be looking fake, gay and uncanny if he wasn't there to stop me.
- It showed me how much the fuck the skin is important for the general appearance. It's a total numer one without any doubt. Hair is the second place.
- Single even out the tone/colour, proper matte-to-glow ratio and blurring the skin texture makes a FOOKIN day and night difference.
- With this top notch makeup on me I look 9-8 years (YEARS) younger. I look young, I look fresh, I look healthy and relaxed.
- The effect will be even larger if you don't have skin texture (atrophic acne scarring), but even with scars effect is totally worth it.
- The most difficult part is choosing the right: skincare products that you put under the makeup and makeup products itself.
- It takes time to master it, but the learning curve is not that steep when you were coached by the top of top professionalist.
So, a couple of tips from me after the workshop and doing full routine few times:
1. Skincare is still the most important step. It's fundamental and it defines how good makeup you can do. It's no point doing makeup if you have active acne, all face covered in red bumps, whiteheads and in general having a pizza face.
2. Your makeup should ENHANCE, I repeat: ENHANCE your natural traits, NOT ALTER them. Two perfect examples on me:
- Skin tone - I am very pale and always wanted to darken my skin tone, get this trendy tanned look. In general due to lifelong acne problems and post inflammation my face skin tone is still rosy, red with orange/yellow undertones while my neck, hands, ears are just naturally pale - Fitzpatrick 1. I could blend my make up to appear Fitzpatrick IV, but it would look fake on me unless I will cover my whole body with the bronzer. But then I will look like a british chavSo it was crucial for me to accept my natural skin tone and blend make up up from the body to the face making no contrast at all. At first, I thought it is way to pale/faint. But turned out it was just my brain impression beacuse I was soooo used to my "carrot-ish" face. My family and people around were positively impressed. So if you are FP 2-4 then I am jelaous, but if not, I recommend just to accept your trait and make it individual and "aesthetic". He also enhanced all my freckles (I'm ginger with wavy hair with highlights done and it just compose so fuckin aesthetic).
And no, melanotan is just not a longterm solution I will not be picking this up.
- Brows - my natural brows are literally blonde, so basically not visible at all. Earlier I just dyed it to black, but I still thought I miss density, so I was literally decided full in for the microblading (basically tattoing missing hairs). Of course I wanted it all black
Combining this and right makeup tone made my look very pretty boish, yet masculine and natural instead of uncanny, bronzed 2012 british chav. That's why you need to listen me and filter out many autistic crap from this site.
3. If you have oily skin with large (but clean!) pores and some texture from scars you will need:
- Low molecule HA serum
- 'standard' high quality moisturizer
- mattifying moisturizer
- light, watery SPF
- mattifying primer
- foundation (ideally two types to mix)
- concealer
- translucent, matte setting powder
- brow definier in a pencil with triangular end
- translucent brow gel
- makeup sponge aka beauty blender
- fluffy brush for powder
- smaller brush for foundation application
- matte, translucent lip balm
- I also have freckles pen
4. Right moisturizing is a key to avoid dry flakes wearing makeup long hours. Low molecule HA serum+ right moisturizer is a must.
5. As a male you need to manage the glow and matte effects on your skin. Going either full glow or full matte will give you fake unnatural look. More over shine will enhance your texture problems. Full matte will give you old lady look on the other hand.
So, in short, you should keep in matte the T-area: lower cheeks, nasolabial folds, nose, forehead, chin and neck. Glow should be kept on high cheeks (especially on zygos), undereyes and small temple area.
To keep areas matte you need mattyfying moisturizer and mattyfiyng primer. For glowy areas use your standard moisturizer and skip primer.
6. It's harder but I recommend to start it right away: use two types of foundations: one should be lighter and full matte, second one should be darker and with satin finish. You mix those two to get the perfect match for your skintone and best balance between matte and glow for the foundation.
7. It starts to give final look after 30 mins when your skin fully absorbs all the layers and it starts cooperating with your skin. It becomes invisible from now on and magic happens.
8. High hygiene of the face, tools, products is a must. Take this seriously.
9. Double cleansing, moisturizing, retinol and exfoliation is a must to keep your base skin appearance as good as possible to sqeeze out even more boost from the makeup.
10. My bone performance is good enough to have hollow cheeks since I hit low BF%, but it is not really recommended to go into contouring world for me. Try contouring if you are FP 2-4.
11. Safety razor shave everytime before doing makeup. You need to be as smooth as possible to get best absorption and invisible look.
12. Always do makeup in daylight in front of the window or buy a light lamp with 4500-5500K light temperature
13. Order: 2xcleanse, HA, moisturizers, SPF, moisturizers, primer, foundation, concealer, powder, lip balm, brow brush, brow strokeing with pencil, brow gel, freckles
14. Remove with cosmetic tissues/flakes with miceral water till no stained, then double cleanse your skin
GTFIH and start experimenting.
Cuz if you’re not here to looksmax go somewhere elsewhy are you so pressed
looksmaxx not faggotmaxx you stupid inbred
What products you reccomending
I talked with the guy and he said the same thing, will be doing
If this would be noticeable I would hear some comments here and there from them, I am sure. But men don't know shit about makeup, so don't worry. If you ask them to show you a nice girl without makeup, they will show you a pic of a girl in makeup
