1. Foundation: This is used to give the skin an even tone. It neutralizes red cheeks, broken veins and freckles. It is very useful if make-up is to look very effective. It provides the base for all other make-up and makes their application quite easier. It is very essential to keep in mind that the main purpose of a foundation is to even out natural skins tone and not to change the colour of the skin. Foundation is available in either liquid, cream or solid form.

2. Face Powder : This is used to set the foundation which would otherwise within 2-3 hours, slide off the skin. Face powder is the essential finishing touch to all make-up. It also gives staying power to lipstick and prevents cream blusher and eye shadow from creasing. Face powder is available either in a loose from or in a compressed form.

3. Concealers: These are required to ‘blot’ out dark shadows under eyes, broken veins, high cheek colour, blemishes etc. Concealers come in sticks or as thick cream and are generally applied before foundation.

4. Blusher: This is the first of the color cosmetics that you apply to your face and one of the most flattering Its main purpose is to accentuate the cheek bones and to add colour and warmth to the skin. Blushers come in a variety of colours and shades in a wide thrice of textures as well.

7. Lipstick: This is used to balance the made-up face and to emphasise the mouth. Nowadays, lipsticks have a much softer texture. Lipsticks can be used directly on the lips but it is difficult to achieve a clean outline this way. It is thus better to take the lipstick off the stick with a lip brush.

8. Highlighter: This is generally used for dramatic effects to give a flattering ‘lift’ to a face.It is used on the browline, top of the cheekbone and the top line centre. The colours are light cream or white and are available either in the powder or cream form.

9. Shaders and Contours : Shaders are always brown and are used around the face to give a slimming effect. Contours are generally brown and are used under the cheekbone, to give a hollow look. The key to successful application for shaders and contours is a very light touch.

10. Mascara : This is used to emphasise eyes further by adding colour, thickness and sometimes even length to lashes.

of skin problems can promote confidence and a more youthful, attractive appearance.
The Face -
A strong profile with a straight nose and a strong jaw is often thought to be the epitome of masculinity; unfortunately, some men were born with too much nose and too little jaw. A common plastic surgery procedure is a nose job, or rhinoplasty, preformed in conjunction with a chin augmentation.
A nose job can not only shave down excessive bumps and lift a drooping tip, but it can improve breathing by straightening out the nasal passage, if needed. Chin augmentations involve slipping a small, solid implant into an incision under the jaw. These two cosmetic procedures combined can greatly improve a weak profile.
The Hair -
The one cosmetic surgery that has always been male dominated is hair transplants.
Hair loss can be a sensitive subject for many men and there is little to do to prevent or stop it. In the past, methods for hair transplant procedures were often noticeable and unnatural. New technology has emerged that eliminates the former, awkward “plug” technique. Today, hair grafts are removed from the patient’s scalp and placed in the bald areas. The hair that is harvested remains resistant to balding, allowing new hair growth that looks natural.
The Body -
Another common surgery men are choosing is liposuction. The versatility of the procedure can help sculpt and smooth areas that are resistant to exercise and diet.
If you’ve worked hard at pumping iron in the gym, but just can’t seem to shake that extra jiggle below your chin or around your midsection, liposuction can permanently banish the fat, giving you a hard, lean physique.
There are many other cosmetic surgeries that can help men achieve their desired goals. Face lifts, tummy tucks, and calf implants are just some examples of other surgeries that are available.
Women may be the traditional target market for plastic surgeons, but there is a new acceptance of men choosing to undergo elective procedures. Increasing confidence and taking pride in one’s appearance is not only limited to the female sex.
If you’re interested in cosmetic improvement, research the various options available. You may find that there are more men than you think who have had work done or are considering it.
