Top 3 makeup tips

Yes, a know, looking natural as a guy with makeup seems a little odd, I guess what I mean is trying to bring out my feminine side but keeping it subtle.

Thanks for your advice, much appreciated!

Well this is a loaded question since makeup is all about changing your looks. This is why women do it and what we do it for. That beinging said i think;
1 A good foundation so you have a clean (more feminine) canvas to begin with.
2 Learning the type of eye you have so you can wear your shadow/mascara/liner to fit your eye. I have a hooded eye so i apply my makeup so it enhances the eye and still makes it feminine and pop.
3. I think once i started to learn how to do my eye brows it also helped enhance my feminine look.

I also think the right color lipstick applied cleanly and conservative makes the look complete.

Hope that helps drop me a line anytime.

There's a book called "Face Forward" by K. Aucoin -- It's full of really cool step by step makeovers and I seem to remember there being some pages with boy to girl makeup -- Also learn to do your eyebrows! It's amazing how much it will help your look -- B.

I was thinking of doing this, my only problem is that I live in a relatively isolated place, so I pretty much have to go to some place local, where I am quite likely to bump into someone I know.
I may have to wait until next time I am travelling.

Hi Jay, I have to ask did you go dressed as a lady so the make up looked normal or did you take the make up off before you left. I do think you are right a professional demo would help no end but it also takes a lot of practice as well. Sandra x

I ordered it, too. Thanks, Brijanna.

Well....only three? okay, here we go!

1. Less is more! (Too much make-up is just...NO)

2. Practice is key! (Learn with the cheap stuff firast, so when you do use good makeup you will appreciate it.)

3. Use quality brands (Good Makeup and brushes help.)

Delora, I have found that on my own experimenting with makeup has proven to be the best result for me. Just play with it until you find the look you are trying to achieve. It takes awhile because there are a GAZILLION different ways to blend coloring. But trial and error is how we perfect look....Gigi

Hey you all -- Just an amendment to the post about the makeover book -- The same artist Kevyn Aucoin's OTHER book is called "Making Faces" -- I had forgotten about this one, and I liked it way better than "Face Foreward" -- I seem to remember it being a bit more comprehensive...Gotta run!

I don't think I can add any more words to it, practice makes perfect, knowing your skin color is a good thing for cover up and foundation, for eye shadow practice, practice. that's how I learned how to apply eye shadow, not to much but enough to look good and passable, lip stick is easy to apply. foundation and cover up is tricky to apply but practice is the only way to learn.

This is a fantastic read!! Thanks to all the respondents!! I really like the idea of going to a CD friendly salon to get a crash course. Good luck girls and keep sharing this great info!!! 🙂
