Tutorial on an Everyday Makeup Look for Men by The Sublime Agent {Beauty Notes - Makeup - Grooming}


Beauty makeup tutorial videos are some of the most hypnotic reels you can watch. Here The Sublime Agent details all the tricks in the trade for making up your masculine face. He is against mascara and eyeliner for men, which he deems not "appropriate"for guys - a fresh idea when you are in fact rather used to seeing men sporting khol (especially in India) - but big on foundation, blush, and powder. Ladies, you can also pick up on some beauty tips for yourselves. The video is entitled "Men's Makeup - An Everyday Look"...

ChapFix, a Lip Balm Just for Men {Beauty Notes - Grooming} {New Beauty Product}

Chapfix_Compare.jpg
Among the zillions lip balm that float in the universe, only one had not been created yet, the one just for men. To remedy the oversight, a brand was founded called ChapFix. One tag line is "engineered for men," another one is "The evolution of lip balm." The composition of the balm does not claim to lubricate men's lips differently from women's lips. On the other hand, the packaging is all a man wants to hold in his hand and identify with...

Nivea Whitening Range for the Asian Men Market: Fairer Than Thou {Beauty Notes} (Grooming}

Nivea Whitening products for men for the Thai market

 

Nivea, owned by Beirsdorf, is continuing to expand its distribution of Nivea Whitening products for Men in Asia due to the success of the line. They just launched NIVEA FOR MEN Whitening Oil Control in India.

Fairness of skin is an ideal of beauty in the region, both for men and women. For men a white skin together with a smooth hairless face are thought to add to their beauty.

We can still remember the Indian matrimonial ads in newspapers putting emphasis on the color of the skin, the paler the more desirable. Tanned skin is associated with the need to toil under the sun and therefore low-class status. Of course in the US and Europe you go buy sunless self-tanners to send the signal that you were last seen in Ibiza.....

Jean Paul Gaultier Monsieur Eau du Matin & Beauty Line (2008): More Info {New Cologne} {Grooming}

Gaultier-Eau-du-Matin-Monsieur.jpg

After publishing a previous post on the new Jean Paul Gaultier Monsieur Eau du Matin and beauty care line, here is more information regarding them. The ad copy is fun, saying,

"Forty-something, high-flying executive, fashion-conscious, sporty, eco-friendly; metro-sexual, a bighearted softy or a seducer…every man is different and expresses his own way of being a “Monsieur”."

The Eau du Matin is described as an invigorating fragrance which can be used in friction as well as simply sprayed on...

Every Man Jack Citrus Body Wash & Body Bar: It's for Men, but it's Great for Gals Too & The Perfumista's Little Helper {Beauty Notes - Review}

 
Every Man Jack.jpg

This review is based on two products by the men's grooming brand Every Man Jack, the Body Wash & shower scrub and Body Bar in the citrus scent. It appears not to be available yet on their site but is at Target. We probably would not have paid any extra  amount of attention to the line had they not sent us the products. Now that we have we can report that not only is the Body Wash in particular a *great* product for the skin, with a special pleasing texture and properties that really work, but that we discovered also that due to its beyond-the-call-of-duty deodorizing qualities, it is a superior aid for removing unwanted lingering on smells of fragrances. So Bath & Body people and Perfume Lovers, listen up!.......
