Primer
These are the face primers I use the most and recommend for you too.
This primer is light, easy to use and budget friendly. I like because I can wear it with or without other makeup.
Poreless Putty Face Primer
This is by far the best poreless primer that I’ve ever used. It goes on clear, blurs pores and removes shine. I like that it’s practically weightless, so I can barely feel it.
Face Defender
Eyebrows
This is all you need to have a more polished brow.
I throw this in my bag and when I need to freshen up, I give my brows a quick sweep. It’s a great way to regain that polished look after a rough day or night.
Eyebrow Duo Brush
This gel is the perfect brow tamer. I like that it goes on white, but dries clear. I also like that it only takes a dab to do the trick. A little bit goes a long way. My favorite things about it are that it comes with a great double sided applica...
Brow Laminating Gel - Clear-Drying Brow Gel
Concealers/ Cover Ups
I like these concealers, because they cover trouble spots but don’t require me to wear a full face.
This coverstick is the best way to cover up and blemishes or dark spots. You just apply it like chapstick to the area you want to cover and blend it with your finger. You can use it by itself or under your regular concealer. Esquire magazine calle...
Maybelline Cover Stick Corrector Concealer, Green Corrects Redness ...
This is a great starter for men who want to look more polished without wearing a full face. It will cover blemishes without adding too much color so it’s nearly unrecognizable.
Blur Stick
Lips
If you want to add volume to your lips, then this is a good product to try. Elf makes a great clear pen that goes on somewhat matted, so it’s great for men who want fuller lips without the gloss.
Pout Clout Lip Plumping Gloss Pen
Skin care
I find that by washing my face 2 to 3 times a day and moisturizing after each scrub, my face looks and feels healthier all day.
This is a great face wash because it cleans, moisturizes and wakes up your skin all in one. It leaves my skin actually feeling clean and soft all day long. I use it when I wake up and before I go to bed.
High Tide Hydrating Daily Cleanser - Skin Care
I find that this moisturizer pairs nicely with the Hims face wash. I like that it’s not too heavy, dries fast and doesn’t make my face look shiny or oily.

Setting
I like this setting mist, because it all it takes is a quick spray to keep my makeup in place and prevent it from looking blotchy.
