A while ago I discovered gossmakeupartist on Youtube, an amazing professional make-up artist who makes really great tutorials. I saw his male make-up tutorial a while ago and was really inspired by it, his skills really blew me away. I made my boyfriend watch the video too and he jokingly said that I should try it on him once. I’m one of those people who takes everything seriously (at least I know I do!) so I did it on him today. I have to add, this is the first time EVER I did make-up on a man. I think I did okay for a first time and with the available tools I had.

This is the “before”-image. Though I have to add, technically it’s the after image cause I forgot to take a before picture this is after we took off all the make-up, he also shaved by the way.

This is the “after”-image. I think it gives him a more defined and masculine look, it also evened out his skintone to blend better with his neck. It may look slightly dramatic in this picture (I think so at least) but it looked very natural in real life. I told my mum I had done make-up on my boyfriend before she saw it, when he came in she kept staring at him before she finally said “If you hadn’t told me I wouldn’t have noticed it.”

He enjoyed having the make-up applied a lot, but I’m sure us girls will understand cause being pampered is great. We had a lot of fun doing this, it doesn’t look 100% perfect but as I said it was my first go. I followed most of the steps gossmakeupartist did besides curling his lashes and covering them with eyeliner (instead of mascara) because he thinks lash curlers look really scary. Boys are such wimps sometimes!

And by the way, this is not something we’re going to do regularly, it was just for fun!
