Okay, well I'm a guy who's looking for something I can use to make myself look better for when I go out. Normal drugstore makeup (covergirl, etc) is way too thick and obvious for me. I've looked at those Makeup for Men brands but I've never even heard of them before so I'm kind of scared to try them. So I think the best choice is to pick something light from an already well established brand. Can anyone help me out?
I was thinking of maybe just getting a Shine/Oil Control line of products, such as Biore Shine Control or Clearasil Oil Control but I'm not sure if that's the way to go. I'm looking for something more to do then use a moisturizer before getting ready to go out.
There are two things I'm interested in..
1.) Colorless Powders. Such as..
Urban Decay Universal Loose Powder
Neutrogena Healthy Skin Blends translucent oil-control powder
Clean & Clear Invisible Shine-Control Powder/Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets
Physicians Formula multi-colored face powder pallette
Hard Candy blotting powder/sheets
Most of those powders are designed to control shine/oil, enchance skintone, cover up redness but without leaving a trace of evidence. I don't have bad skin so something light just to help me look a little better is all I want.
I used to use the Phsycians Formula one but I ran out. It worked really good but after I started tanning even though it's supposed to be colorless it seemed to make my face paler.
The other thing I'm interested in is..
2.) Mattyfing Lotions
I've seen a lot of these on Sephora.com. They all say that they control shine/oil and leave your skin feeling/looking soft and matte. I saw PURE FOCUS by Lancome advertised in an old Teen Vogue magazine once.
I'm not sure if there is anything else in the cosmetics world that would be good for what I'm looking for but if so please let me know. I'm really interested in the Urban Decay Universal Powder, it's different than anything I've ever seen before and everyone reports that it covers up redness very well. I was thinking of getting a couple of those + the urban decay powder brush, but I dunno.. it's a discontinued item so there is for sure to be a limited stock.. i'd be scared I'd get addicted and then wouldn't be able to find it anymore!
But yes, please hook me up with what you think is the best products for what I'm looking for. I've heard that there is actually colorless foundation too.. from Sally Hansen or philosophy or something?
