I've been wanting to wear concealer for a while. I have some imperfections in my skin and I figure that it would help. I know women are able to wear makeup and look a **** ton better than without. Why the hell can't we?

So recommendations for products, how to apply, etc would be great.

Here's a video I was just watching.

Haha, I'm a make-up artist, and I've totally helped dudes out with cosmetics. They're always embarrassed...but why should they be? I remember using my Cover Girl concealer when I was like 15 to help my brother out with this giant red zit on his nose. If I hadn't, God knows what he would have suffered...

Emergency concealer is fairly helpful. I'm not sure that I could see it as a frequent thing for most men, however. It's fairly obvious when people wear makeup unless they're really good.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Way too feminine for me. Applying witch hazel before I leave the house is as far as I'll go.

Careful ... Carly Fiorina has done this all her life ... and look at her ... a dead ringer for the Wicked Witch of the West.

if you're serious about it, go hit up M.A.C. . You'll definitely have to suck up any pride you might have about letting them know its for you, but they'll match your **** up and help you out. Everyone there is quite trained and accustom to dealing with guys.

I have some undereye concealer. YSL Touche Eclat, 2. Just a tiny bit under the eyes makes you look like you're actually awake after a long night, and it is not visible unless you are quite close...

The MAC people are awesome by the way, I used to have some stuff from there but I don't remember what. Also for under eyes.

MAC has the worst "cover up" make up in the world. Unless you're doing a ****** photo shoot, don't go there. I'd recommend Dior or Bobbi Brown before MAC.

Hermann Goering used lipstick, rouge and nail polish. He angrily denied the lipstick.

To each his own.
