I'm not talking full blown emo make up, I'm talking about a little foundation and concealer to help with blemishes and imperfections with the skin.

It has been almost 2 years since this thread was created (http://www.revscene.net/forums/men-wearing-makeup-t511829.html?t=511829&highlight=makeup)
And some people 2 years ago says it's gay and such. Have any opinion changed from then?

And for those who does wear make up, how often do you put them on and where did you get them from? I personally dont think there is anything wrong with guys using female foundation, concealer, etc (just like nothing wrong using masks or moisturizers for her).

[joelh86]

well from where I come from which is Korea, they have men's BB cream which is like liquid foundation. So its more like a lotion rather than a powder foundation but makes your skin look better

[Gnomes]

Holy shit, this BB cream is an all-in-1
What is BB cream for?
BB cream acts as:
1, A liquid foundation/primer/concealer that not only conceals blemish, scars, uneven skin tone, age spots, sun spots, dark circles
2. Also heals , moisturize, treat, controls oil, tighten pores, hydrates skin over prolong use
3. Has Sunblock UVA & UVB, wrinkle free, whitening abilities
4. Doesn't clog pores
5. Made of natural ingredients

[joelh86]

yea apparently they do sell men's but probably not in vancouver. But you might wanna go places like sephora and ask them if you can still use women BB cream since they serve the same purpose but men and women skin are different

[lowside67]

No, it's still gay.

[mako]

no

[IfUCare]

I personally don't care if my skin is acne filled or blemish filled. Do i try to eat cleaner so i don't break out? Of course. Would i EVER put on makeup? NO! Don't be so shallow and vain.

[filth]

I don't use it, but i dont think it's gay if its just used to cover blemishes, scars, uneven skin tones...etc. However if you're using full blown foundation on your whole face, eye liner and fake eye lashes, then Yes, that's pretty gay, but i doubt any straight man would use eye liner or fake eye lashes.

[nosleepboy87]

personally i don't mind it at all. jean paul has a men's make up line out and they sell it at holts. I use fondation and conceler when going to parties and i don't want to look horrible.

[Harvey Specter]

Nope, wouldn't use makeup because I take care of my skin BUT I think it would be ok to use coverup if you have really bad skin, scars, acne etc...


Edit: Never knew about this "BB cream", searched for some reviews and stuff and came across one for men from "Dr.Jart+" on eBay. It's $40 including free shipping. Has one on here actually used BB cream for men this?

[Euro7r]

Depends on how bad the blemish is. If it's a huge ass red pimple or something and you have to work, maybe need something to cover it up a bit.

Jah Gekko, yesterday I went to ebay and bought this BRTC BB cream for ~$25 CAD LINK (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280367053997)

I was convinced after reading this BLOG (http://shirleysphotojournal.wordpress.com/2008/07/31/bb-cream-review/) and looking at the after effects.

THE FUCK LOL :haha:

[joelh86]

i don't think BB cream is gay. Its pretty much like lotion.
If you think its gay, its same thing as saying that a guy is gay for using men's toner, face wash and lotion. I would think a guy with eye liner is gay unless they're a model getting a photoshoot or a celebrity.

[v.Rossi]

yeah while you're at it, complete the look with a murse and skinny jeans. :Puke:

No. What the fuck...no....

lol, i wear skinny jeans (1pair) and i also have a murse.:D....but no gay here.
I also use
Biotherm on my face to moisturize
Lancome Moisturizing lotion for Mens on my bald head
Lancome Coverup for that ugly pimple that may appear after a hard night of drinking...( i dont use it on my whole face...just dab it until that shit is gone)
La Roche Posay as a face wash...


let me guess, you like skinny ass nammers with lots of tatoos/no muscles, whom think they are the shizz selling nickel/dime bags drugs driving their hondas/acuras??:p

Pretty big changed for that girl within 4 weeks

[Hehe]

I can take men's makeup up to certain extend. A foundation or concealer could do wonder if you were to attend a upper scale meeting/event.

I remember going to one of the baller party that my dad's partner held back in San Fran. It was filled with true ballers... and the partner's wife insisted on putting some concealer on me since I had some acne breakout around that time.

If the environment requires, I see some sort of makeups mandatory.

[filth]

That's pretty cheap, cheap enough for me to order one and see what the hype is all about.

so does this work as moisturizer or as cover up? since your applying it to your whole face?

[Harvey Specter]

I assume both. I've order the cream and so has Gnomes so I'm sure one of us will post our findings.

After reading about that BB Cream, I might order some too D:

Did you guys ship to US or Canada? Both are free shipping right?

Confused with the wording of the shipping description
Set to Canada, "Shipping and handling

Free shipping for orders over $100.00 when you buy bestbuykorea's other eligible items.

Save up to $1.50 on shipping when you buy additional eligible items from bestbuykorea."

So would i need $100 + to get free shipping then?


Edit: looked into this Gold Caviar version, they say it's not good for oil control, therefore sensitive skin types are susceptible to breakouts from this application.

I did find the BRTC BB cream recovery balm that helps reduce blemishes/imperfections, with better oil control and therefore better for sensitive skin types. However no SPF protection from what I read, but it's winter now anyways

don't use cheap shit for face
it'll make u break out

[Harvey Specter]

I have really sensitive skin so I'm going do a spot test first and see how it goes. The only products I use on my face are from acne.org or kiehls, almost everything else makes my face go red.

please do let me know how it goes, I have some fairly sensitive skin as well that turns red once it becomes irritated.

Currently using spectro HydraGel moisturizer, non-irritating, non-comedogenic and it works great but it doesn't reduce blemishes to my knowledge. Does a great job moisturizing while keeping my skin oil-free though.

The only difference I see is that one is somewhat out of focus, and the other is completely out of focus (and the colour temperature is wrong)

I really can't believe this is convincing men to start wearing makeup...

[illicitstylz]

yeah turns out supposedly that BB cream from BRTC is for females, but happens to work for males as well. There's an equivalent called SKIN79 which accomplishes the same thing but is for "men".

[yuusha]

I'm using BRTC Recover Balm right now, the tone is a bit lighter than my skin tone so I have to blend with a moisturizer, will let you know if my skin gets better. Meanwhile, I'll look into that Skin79 stuff.

And SkinnyPupp, that's precisely why we're checking out said products - to see if the claims to better skin are true. Think of it as science :P As for me, I like my brighter, less spotty skin no matter what anyone says about wearing foundation, cause nobody can tell in the first place ;)

[RenoMan]

i see some near closet homos in here....

Since when was one's sexual orientation decided by how vain they are?

[The_AK]

john f kennedy worn make up during elections, but i still think its pretty gay

[Gnomes]

I am pretty sure Chuck Norris wore makeup while doing Walker, Texas Ranger. If it is true. makeup is what real men wear.

[RenoMan]

bottomline is if your thinking about putting make up on before heading out thats gay. Movies and shit i get.

If your fore fathers were alive what would he say if he saw you putting makeup on in front of a mirror?

Min tee i give a shit what you say since you only post in the relationship section most of the time...

It is pretty gay, I admit... But let me put it this way.

If you care that much about what everyone says about you, then don't wear makeup. It will make people think you're gay. Straight up. All the people I've told will say that.

But if you're wearing very nude foundation and moisturizer, nobody can tell. That's the point of BB Cream. It's supposed to even out your skin tone and make it look clearer and healthier, while looking like you're wearing nothing at all. Nobody I know has noticed that I wear anything - I have to tell them. And before telling people, I've had them compliment my skin. And it only takes one second to put on alongside moisturizer.

So my point is, if you're wearing makeup and it shows, people will think you're gay. But if it doesn't show, then nobody will know and you'll have nicer skin without people thinking youre gay. It's like cheating :)

you know too much that its scary and sorta gay. Just wash your face you'll be fine.

now.. no. i dont even do anything to my hair anymore, haha. as long as its not bed hair

[yuusha]

I tried and that didn't work. XD this works better for me, even my girlfriend likes it. I think I can handle being thought of as gay by the few people who even know I wear BB cream. :)

i still think guys wearing make up is extremely feminine except for mosturizer, but i don't have pimples and my skin ain't fucked, so i'm not in the same shoes. at least he'll acknowledge it, better than people walking around with a murse in fucking denial.

[joelh86]

my gf specialized in makeup and skin aesthetics. she said skin79 is pretty good

[Cereal Killer]

No, I don't use make up. The one and only thing I use that's remotely close to make up is Chapstick.

[skyxx]

Putting on make up is gay. Facial cleansing, no.

Neither have my ebay BB cream. I suspect postal service is still in christmas mode. I think i should ask my seller for a tracking number. After 2 weeks of waiting, I am getting anxious.

[cctw]

this is starting to spark my interested....anyone wanna try skin79?

[yuusha]

K, so far after using BRTC Perfect Recovery Balm for a few weeks, I actually had a breakout recently... not sure if it was from Christmas: stress, the indulging in unhealthy foods, staying up late and out all day and night, etc... or from using the product, but the first week or two of using it almost daily, I had no bad reactions... so it's rather inconclusive, with regards to clogging pores and harming your skin. I'm actually not using it at the moment to give my skin some time to recover so I could try again.

It definitely smoothes out your skin and makes it brighter when worn and really helps hide dark circles without looking like you're wearing anything at all. However, I haven't seen the long-term effects yet(whitening, healthier skin, etc). But that's only after roughly two weeks of use.

Other notes... It's a little hard to blend, so warm your hands before using, or blend with a bit of light moisturizer. You only need a tiny bead of it to cover your face. Use as little as possible, or else it'll be visible to others that you're wearing foundation :P Also, my girlfriend began to notice my more even skin tone and actually likes me wearing it... dunno if that's a plus or not.

TL: DR
-good coverage
-a little hard to blend
-no long-term effects after two weeks daily usage
-had a breakout at week two (Christmas time), results inconclusive

[racerman88]

I can see using a cleanser but make up, no

[Harvey Specter]

Got this cream today. It does a great job of covering up, going to test it out and see if my skin breaks out. I did notice that if you put too much it makes your skin look white or pale so it's all about putting a very small amount. Overall it's not a bad product for the price.

[CP.AR]

Only when there's a special event (ie: formal dinner) where a bit would be used to cover my "Glasses marks" on my nosebridge, since I will most likely be wearing contacts.

But no - no crap on me skin

it`s still christmas mode, my phone case from november 25th still hasnt arrived yet, complete bullshit

[Harvey Specter]

It did take a long time but the delay was because of the holidays. A few other things I ordered before the xmas holidays have been arriving this week as well.


Just a follow up on the product, it really does do a great job of covering up and it also made my skin look brighter and smoother, if that makes sense. I would say this product is well worth the cheap price. The only thing I was worried about was breaking out because I have really sensitive skin but so far my skin hasn’t irritated so that’s a huge plus for people with sensitive skin. Thanks to the OP and all the people who mentioned this product.

[SkinnyPupp]

LOL you're wearing makeup.

[Harvey Specter]

Haha, it's only a tiny area. I'm not planning to put this stuff all over my face, it'll make me look a EI version of Michael Jackson.

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

I'd only ever wear makeup if i was going to be like in some photoshoot in some magazine or on tv, and i somehow have a zit on the tip of my nose or some shit.

otherwise... no. my skin is already flawless like the rest of me. well. almost. haha

Got my BRTC Gold Caviar BB cream yesterday. Putting on the BB cream and washing it off every day seems like a lot of work. Could easily use that time to do a better job cleansing my face.

As for effects - I do notice it being able to cover up uneven skin tones and such but not as well as I hoped. Maybe it's because I have severe acne scars on my face. I might post some before + after pics later in the week.

BB cream = moisturizer with the side effects of concealing, foundation, anti-wrinkling, sun block, whitening.

[Harvey Specter]

This stuff won't cover severe scars. I have a scar on my finger from a fight long time ago and I tested this stuff on it and it did a decent job of covering it up but you could still see it.

[twitchyzero]

You mean you had to go out and get a special type of facial cleanser or just required more effort to get it off your skin?
I'm assuming you don't mean frequency of washing your face, because you should be washing your face twice a day regardless of bb cream or not.

jah gekko, thanks for the follow up on sensitive skin application.

I guess i'll try the men's skin79 but i'll wait a week or two until Canada Post clears up its holiday volume first, still waiting for my damn phone case i ordered back in november..

[smqueen]

hey just to let you know so your skin can be healthy, bb cream is still makeup you have to use a makeup remover cleanser to take it off or else it will clog your pores. regular soap and water wont cleanse it away enough

[d1]

Haha, it's only a tiny area. I'm not planning to put this stuff all over my face, it'll make me look a EI version of Michael Jackson.

Does it blend in well, colour tone wise? A lot of bb creams look quite light in colour..

Also, wouldn't a cleanser remove the bb cream? It's not eyeliner or anything so I wouldn't think makeup remover is needed.

It's foundation. :)

[smqueen]

haha ya its foundation. and you should be a fair skin asian/caucasian if you wear bb cream cause it only comes in one light shade if youre darker it will be obvious that you are wearing mismatched makeup

[Harvey Specter]

I used the BB cream on a tiny spot on my face and it did blend in but yes, if you're darker it will make your skin look ligher.

A bit off topic but people who do have issues with acne should look into other products. I've mentioned this before in other threads but I swear by the products at acne.org. There the best products I've ever used and people who don't have acne can use the products as well because it works wonders. Kielhs is also good, the eye cream and facial face wash are awesome.

[illicitstylz]

anyone know a local place for these products? I'd like to get some samples before purchasing.

[wobuhuishuozhongwen]

soo...with this BB "cream" you HAVE to use make up remover in order to wash it off? i dun really kno much about cosmetics so sorry if it's painfully obvious

[Harvey Specter]

Yes, pretty much but it also depends on how much of this stuff you cake on to your face. I don't think you need make up remover if you use a very small amount on say a tiny scar or mark.
