Whether you’re battling a breakout or struggling to hide puffy eyes from a late night, makeup can be a man’s saviour. Of course, the thought of trying out cosmetics can be incredibly daunting, but it’s less terrifying than you think. Here at Mankind, Illamasqua is one of our favourite brands to keep our skin looking healthy, even and refreshed. When applied correctly, it improves your complexion without leaving obvious tell-tale signs that you’re wearing makeup.
Illamasqua: What’s Their Story?
Founded in 2008, London-based cosmetics brand Illamasqua was born. Iconic and professional, Illamasqua's products are easy to use for creating long-lasting looks. Illamasqua’s face products in particular are known for their lightweight properties and ability to leave skin looking even and unblemished. Made for everyone regardless of gender, each product is buildable, so you can get the coverage which makes you feel confident effortlessly.
The Men’s Makeup Taboo is Disappearing
Modern day makeup is formulated to give natural-looking coverage rather than looking thick and cakey. Most celebrities wear makeup to hide a problem area or enhance their looks in front of a camera. It’s not just these well-known faces wearing makeup for men anymore either! A lot of men have admitted to putting on a small amount of concealer or foundation, which we think is a great step forward. After discovering the empowering feeling from wearing makeup, the taboo is fading fast and there's no reason to be ashamed.
The products below are great for men who want to cover up blemishes and improve complexion without looking like they're wearing makeup.
