Makeup & Tanning Reviews
Makeup for men is a scary place for most. It should be about boosting the appearance of healthy skin whilst being easy and foolproof to apply and remaining almost completely undetectable. The following reviews help deliver just that with some of my favourite men’s makeup industry finds.

Get your man-beat on with NEW Brushes from The Body Shop
While I’m not a huge wearer of makeup, I’m a big fan of a skin-perfecting, undetectable base. Being so painfully pale and paper-white, any imperfections, blemishes or dark circles show up.

Be careful when trying to reduce oily skin
It’s no myth that men’s skin tends to be more oil-prone. This can leave you shiny, blemish ridden and feeling more like a teenager than a man.

What’s in my box from South Korea?
I came very early to the Korean Skincare craze with my pre-emption of BB creams back in 2012 but since then, drifted from it.

The holiday season is almost upon us (how is this happening already, it was Christmas 2014 about 2 minutes ago!?) and it’s all about looking sharp.

Tom Ford For Men Concealer 01 Light
Part of the Tom Ford For Men grooming collection, I was told I was speaking garbage when I pointed out that the Tom Ford For Men Concealer was almost identical to the 2009 award winning Bobbi Brown Touch Up Stick.
