00:00 Men's Makeup Introduction

It surprises many people to learn that men have been wearing makeup for most of recorded history, and while this may not be as common today, shifting views on gender norms have increased interest in men's cosmetics, both as a form of personal expression and to look one's best.

00:42 History of Men’s Makeup
Men have worn makeup throughout history and a variety of cultures for a myriad of reasons.

01:46 Should You Wear Makeup?
Some people still find it inappropriate for men to wear makeup, often believing it to be girly or indicative of homosexuality. Just like with people who think of dressing up as strange. You shouldn't let others' feelings dictate what you would like to do.

It might interest you to know that both Raphael and Preston do wear makeup from time to time in videos on our YouTube channel.

02:43 What is Corrective Cosmetics?
Corrective cosmetics use makeup to correct or enhance the natural appearance of the face. By "correction," we mean covering up anything that you prefer to have more seamlessly blend in with the rest of your skin.

How to Apply: 1. 07:59 Do Your Normal Skin Care Routine
2. 08:08 Select and Apply Your Concealer or Foundation

11:02 How Should You Take Makeup Off?
A strong reminder here, don’t sleep in your makeup. This can dry out your skin and clog your pores.

Thankfully, removing makeup is a lot faster than applying it. You will just need a makeup remover and then your regular facial cleanser.

We hope that today's guide has provided a good introduction to makeup and the basics of putting on and removing makeup. We also hope that this makes you feel empowered to give men's makeup a try if you feel it's right for you.
