Hi All!

I'd like to intro myself, I'm Andrew and I started Man Up, a male cosmetics company - mainly because my mother attacked me on my prom night with her makeup bag.

I want to ask what products you think work for men, or what you would put on a guy. Any thoughts!

Also be careful gender excluding, youll be getting yourself into heaps of arguements. For example MAC, stila, bobbi brown, lorac, etc. their names don't gender exclude. when I asked earlier what look the person wants depending on what your company offers will be instilling this image that males wear and look like such and not males do not look like such. be very very very careful.

Amazing! Especially since you live so close by lol

I would say I've seen men wear everything from simple bh cream to heavy eye make up and foundation. It depends on the male.

I would totally focus on a large range of shades and textures/finishes in face makeup. I would try to make things as user friendly and easy to apply as possible. I think that would really appeal to the masses, if they could easily apply a natural looking makeup that was easy to match in color and works with the texture/quality of skin. I think another cool thing to look into would be making makeup that had some beneficial qualities, like foundation that helps acne prone skin or color correcting spot treatments or something along those lines. I mean, all makeup is great, especially if men want to use it. But I think concentrating on easy to use, beneficial makeup products would be so stellar.
