Attention, men: here’s how to glow up with the help of Fenty Beauty

In a world of selfies, when putting your best foot forward means putting your best face forward, how do we keep up in the game? It’s a shame we can’t walk around with VSCO filters and spot-blurs to perfectly hide our blemishes, but what filters can’t offer, make-up can proffer.

“Fake it ’til you make it”—which, in this case, means hiding impurities until your skin becomes clearer. (If you’re not blessed with good skin, this would need your patience.)

Makeup is both a good and a bad friend. Find your match: Perfect! Find a wrong one: Grotesque (i.e., a blotchy and patchy complexion and worse, vicious breakouts)! So what better way to use your time online other than learn how to make yourself look your best with makeup that’s right for you?

Basically, when talking about makeup for men, we want something that looks and feels as if it were nothing once applied on the skin. One key element to achieving that “no makeup” look is finding the right shade to cover your skin imperfections and the right formula that will go on you like second skin.

Makeup tutorials are a dime a dozen on YouTube, but we found one that breaks down the basic products (all from Fenty Beauty) you’d need to make yourself look flawless—err, almost flawless, because you have to learn how to apply products skillfully first.

Match Stix come in 20 shades so you’ll definitely find the right match for your skin tone, especially to hide the redness around your nose. It comes in a magnetic tube, so you can snap it together with the other Fenty products.
