Makeup basics for male models of all skin tones

[@chriskapcia1715]

Thanks, John! TG’s was very helpful since some of my clients choose not to work with my makeup artist. Having this at the ready will save me a bit of time reducing those pesky highlights in post!

[@JohnGress]

That is great to hear! Anything to make your life easier!

MUA from Alabama here. Thanks so much for this video! 😃

[@JohnGress]

Thank you! I hope I didn’t get anything wrong! Shame because of Covid lockdown I couldn’t demonstrate the application.

[@Siraat-ul-Hidayah7241]

Great Work... Sir,can you do a little video in which you show that how you do there(your models) makeup?

[@JohnGress]

Thanks! I might update this at some point. I recorded this when we weren't allowed to leave out homes.

@@JohnGress Omg hey! That’s the first time I’ve ever left a comment on KZbin and I’m flattered with the reply. I’m actually about to launch my own channel ~ and I’m looking super shiny in my practice videos. 😂 This was awesome and I’m grateful.

[@JohnGress]

Oh that’s perfect. Beat of luck! I respond to every comment unless they’re coming from a very negative place.

[@seersuckerstud-thirsttrap1342]

​@@JohnGress I really appreciate that. And I'm the exact same way - it's just my only platform now is Instagram. Looking to grow...and certainly my plan is not to lose that personal component.

Im modeling in few days and they don’t put makeup on male models so here i am buying my own makeup because i wanna look at my best i take this as a hobby and not a job

[@JohnGress]

Glad you’re taking a step to look your best. Because it’s summer, I wanted you to know that the BLK/OPL product and sweat are not a good combo, as it tends to turn sweat into orange liquid, but the photoready handles it better.

[@shooterxxx987]

@@JohnGress Thank you for the advice, i bought concealer for under the eyes and I’m gonna use vaseline for the top eyelash ( i heard its good to do) and lip balm …. Any advice on what im using?

[@benjireid798]

Really useful.

[@JohnGress]

Great to hear!

[@Christopherdrummondbeauty]

Great vid….keeping it simple. FYI, as a pro makeup artist, There really isn’t a problem with you applying it….there really isn’t a “license” for makeup artistry, just skincare. It’s a grey area.

[@JohnGress]

Ahhh I see. Thank you! Do you think I need a setting spray to give them a hint of shine?

[@MrSherod1]

Great help.

[@JohnGress]

Glad to hear it! Thanks!

[@ogidith3088]

Cool. Thanks for info

Thank you!

[@dustinfocus]

John, what happens if you apply a powder that doesn’t match the skin tone? Can you get away with with it or is it noticeable

[@JohnGress]

Hello! Sorry I didn't explain that well in the video. When you apply the wrong shade it is immediately noticeable. The correct shade will look natural but the wrong shade will look like a strange tan or they'll look ghost-like. I still guess the wrong color about 10% of the time, and when you do just laugh about it, have them wash it off and start over. You can always ask them if they look like their color on the screen after you do their make-up and shoot a picture.

[@billiesworld.5614]

Does this hide blemishes, laugh lines, eye bags & dark circles? Or should we apply a concealer to it also??

[@JohnGress]

It’s just going to even out skin tone.

[@jessicajonathan820]

Makeup artist here. Apply a moisturizing primer before makeup. You could add a mist after makeup too

What do you mean its un lawful to apply make up

[@JohnGress]

You may need a license to apply make-up on other people in the jurisdiction where you are located.
