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.

La Roche-Posay Rosaliac CC Cream
OK, so I know how much of a fad the CC thing comes across. I was the world’s biggest BB cream fan and I’m not afraid to come across as a total a-hole by saying that I was talking about them before they’d barely even hit our shores (here lies the proof); but, when BBs…

Miracle Skin Transformer Acne Control Tinted Skin Enhancer
This is my first review of anything from Sarah McNamara Miracle Skin Transformer and where better to start than in my favourite skincare arena, acne care, with Miracle Skin Transformer Acne Control Tinted Skin Enhancer. It’s been designed to prevent breakouts, control shine, even skin tone and refine the pores. There’s 4 shades: translucent, medium, tan and dark.…

La Roche-Posay Hydreane BB Creme SPF 20
In the year of the CC Cream, I believe the BB Cream is still king. BB creams are a guys best friend as they balance the skin-tone, brighten the complexion, hydrate and often treat the skin whilst giving us a daily dose of sun-protection (Hydreane BB Creme has a fab SPF 20). Hydreane is the…

Clinique Superprimer Face Primers
With the recent launch of the super-duper CC Cream from Clinique, the brand hit the colour correction gong once more, going that little but further with their collection of targeted Superprimer Face Primers. What’s a primer you ask? Well if you’ve not used one before as I know many guys won’t, it’s a product that…

Anthony Logistics Glycolic Facial Cleanser
This is actually Anthony Logistics’ top seller at Sephora for ten years running. It’s deliciously creamy, non-greasy, soothing, and very cleansing. Most readers and many followers on Twitter will know that I’m very pro-foaming face washe and very anti-cleansing oil/balm etc. I like the feeling of being clean, so I was naturally a little sceptical…

Ren Satin Perfection BB Cream
Back in 2011, I had to order my BB Cream direct from Korea via eBay. The UK hadn’t even heard the phrase BB Cream but now it seems every grooming and beauty brand out there has brought one to market. So you’re probably wondering why I’m reviewing this? Surely it can’t be anything we haven’t…

Kiko Soft Focus Concealer
Products designed to replicate the cult Yves Saint Laurent’s Touche Éclat aren’t really anything new. Clinique Airbrush, The Body Shop Lightening Touch and Clarins Instant Light Brush On Perfector are just a few but Kiko’s Soft Focus Concealer is the first budget priced highlighting concealer I’ve come across that’s really worth noting. A while back…

Clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream
By now you’ll know I’m a pretty big BB cream fan as for guys, they’re the ultimate grooming product — light coverage, calming and protecting. Well this is CC, Colour Correcting, and is designed to calm, protect and balance out colour concerns such as shallowness, redness and uneven skin tone. I’ve been using it for…

Clinique Pore Refining Solutions Instant Perfector Invisible Bright
As you may know, over the last few weeks I’ve been doing Clinique’s Great Skin challenge to see if in two weeks, I’ll have that famous Clinique skin glow. Well I’m on week 3 and I’m incredibly impressed, not only is it glowing, it’s holding on to more moisture and my pores are noticeably smaller…
