The birth of the metrosexual a few years back has paved the way for the latest boom in the men’s skin care industry. More than ever, the fellas are paying attention to their skin and appearance. But while men are finally getting the hang of using cleanser, toner and moisturizer, are they prepared to make the transition to cosmetics as well? Don’t worry ladies, you don’t have to hide your favorite makeup items just yet.

So why on Earth would a man need makeup? Simple. Just like their female counterparts, men suffer from blemishes, enlarged pores and other facial flaws. Who’s to say that they can’t wear makeup, too? If you’re a guy who wants to make his complexion appear flawless, there are men’s cosmetic products available to get you a picture perfect face. And it’s nothing to be embarrassed about.

If the thought of buying makeup makes you want to squirm, relax. Male models and actors have donned the same makeup items as women for years. In fact, many male cosmetic manufacturers have found financial success in the entertainment industry and now they want to provide the same products to the rest of the men out there.

Suffer from nicks after one too many shaving incidents? To cover up unsightly nicks and cuts, there are concealers specially designed for male complexions. To take things up a notch, men who are really self-conscious about their face can find comfort in liquid foundation and powder. Some men’s makeup lines even sell eyeliner.

If you’re a high maintenance type of guy, you’ll find various men’s cosmetic items and corrective makeup that address just about any facial concern you have. For a glowing complexion, men’s bronzers are available so you can stop borrowing your girlfriend’s. Depending on your skin type, you can choose a liquid or powder bronzer to do the trick. Want to get rid of crow’s feet and the other annoying signs of aging? Then try out special serums, guaranteed to tackle the age on your manly face, while preserving your boyishly good looks. To keep your brows and lashes clean, there are lash and brow gels, eye definition creams and even beard, brow and eye shaders to maintain your facial hair. Is your lip balm not giving you the soft and kissable lips you desire? Try upgrading to a special men’s deep conditioning lip cream.
