My 10-Step Gender Fluid Androgynous Makeup or Androgyny Make-Up Routine.
- Foundation: L’Oreal Magic Nude liquid powder foundation with an e.l.f. Small Stipple Brush.
- Concealer: Apply concealer (Maybelline Fit Me) to the brow, nasolabial folds, bridge of the nose, jaw bones, under-eye area, and chin, then blend out with an e.l.f. Flawless Concealer Brush.
- Set Your Make-up with a loose translucent powder (NYC Smooth Skin Loose Face Powder) and powder brush (MAC 129SE).
- Contour by placing a matte bronzer to under the cheekbones (for men, extend it below the lip muscle area below the nasolabial folds); sides of the nose; just below the brow; and in the 3-shape around the forehead, temples, and below the jaw. I used the e.l.f. Contouring Blush and Bronzer palette and Professional Bronzing Brush.
- Highlight the inner corners of the eyes (NYC Opal 879 Eye Dust and MAC pencil brush).
- Line your eyes and waterline:
- Begin with a black shadow or eyeliner pencil/pen/gel liner/liquid liner (Wet-N-Wild Spoiled Brat Palette and MAC flat liner brush).
- Then line the waterline (ScandalEyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal eyeliner). *Don’t stretch the eyes open, but rather feel your way along the waterline with the tip of the pencil: I find it helpful to rest your hand on your face and lay the pencil flat at the inner corner, dragging to the outer corner.
- Curl your lashes before applying mascara to avoid snapping them off!
- Apply mascara to the top and bottom lashes…I prefer a volumizing and lengthening mascara- because why not have the best of both worlds? I use the e.l.f. Waterproof Lengthening and Volumizing Mascara.
- Apply lip balm, lip stain, or lip color/gloss…whatever you like mother-pucker. I used Maybelline’s Baby Lips in 115 Mad for Magenta.
- Shape and define brows by combing them, then using small strokes to properly fill them in. I used the Boutique Defining Brow Pencil in Natural Blonde.
