Shit!!! One week expense lost in a minute. All curses to boy friend who insists that I should do make up.

11.30 pm
Boyfriend called. Talked. Fought. He went to sleep.

12.30 am (8 August)
Not in mood. All bored. Tried doing make up using above products. Looked beautiful.
All happy but angry.

My wicked brain (WB) starts working. And my angel brain (AB) tried to calm my WB.

WB: But why the hell should I be the only one trying to look beautiful.
AB: Chill maar.
WB: No but why only me. Even I can expect him to look good.
AB: Yea. So ask him to. Will he do that?
WB: Why not? Models, Actors sab karte hain.
AB: So what do you want him to do?
WB: Well, lemme think.
AB: Hey btw Dagny’s (Rati)blog does not have any article for men. Not fair.

So this one if for boyfriends, fiancee’s and husbands of all the beautiful ladies of this blog and for all the guys who visit this site.

Ok guys, don’t run. I am not asking you to use lipsticks and blush and eyeliners.

As TG (Sanjeev) said, make up should not be visible to human eye. People should not recognize that you have applied make up. And that goes perfect for guys.

1. STARTER
To start with, I think a very thin layer of translucent powder should be applied.Something like MAC Translucent power.(

I think this would make the skin tone even.I think this layer should be so thin that guys in pub would notice your good looks but would never know why.

2. THE MEN PEN

And for all those nasty spots and blemishes, I found this beautiful Men Pen.

3. GEL ALL THE WAY

I think a bit of gel makes your hairstyle look great.So guys, get a nice hairstyle and gel all the way icon smile Mens Makeup Tips

4. JAMES BOND

James Bond Mens Makeup Tips

The best things about James Bond are his suits, gadgets and well Girls  icon wink Mens Makeup Tips .

So to impress your girl leave the gadget and take up that lovely suit.

Don’t forget those beautiful cuff links and tie.

If you like accessories, a perfect leather watch would just add to that charm. And good shoes as well. icon razz Mens Makeup Tips

And there you go, just a look at your girl and the work is done.

So lazy bones get up and give your girl a gift for all the hard work she puts to look beautiful.

Wow!!!! My boyfriend will probably take an appointment with a shrink for me if I ask him to use makeup!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

But he does likes his hair-gel and he thinks a man’s best accessory is Fragrance…. And I quite agree… ;-) ;-) ;-)

The Men Pen… Quite desirable!!!! ;-) ;-)

Alpa August 8, 2010 at 3:37 pm

@Mrunmayee Yeaa i missed fragrance. It should go in must have’s. I guess you can ask your BF to skip first 2 things :)

Reply

Mrunmayee August 8, 2010 at 10:11 pm

Well I don’t have to ask him to skip…. He is never gonna go for it…

You know when I got engaged, one of his cousin sister tried to use Everyuth Peel off home facial on his face…He ran away… :rotfl: :rotfl: :wilt:

He didn’t tell me that for 8 days….. And when he told me i was laughing for the next 8!!!!!!
:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I was really mean (on retrospect)… But man really!!!! That was quite a moment… :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Lol Alpa, bf ka gussa poori mard jaat par utaar diya? :rotfl: :rotfl:

Good to see a TGite here. :-) I agree with the dressing good part for men but not the makeup stuff. As far as I am concerned I feel squeamish if I put anything on my skin.

And no, I do not insist that Rati does makeup. It’s her choice. :-)

Reply

Alpa August 8, 2010 at 9:37 pm

Ohh no.. he does not force me .. but likes it.. And then its my choice .. :)
Aur gussa was just a reason to write a post .. And i feel everybody in fashion and movie industry do make up.I dont feel it wrong if guys indulge in it for some perfect occassion.

Alpa August 8, 2010 at 9:47 pm

So when should we expect your photograph with good dressing :D

Why dont you dress up and take dagny for an after marriage date ? ;)

Reply

Rati August 8, 2010 at 10:19 pm

we do go out for dates and he kind of dresses up then. :P

moisturiser is fine, so is perfume, hair gel and a bit of after shave. lip balm is cool too, but if my man as much as looks keenly at a bottle of foundation or a powder compact, i will scream and run in the opposite direction! :dazed:

Nice article Alpa, and these days I guess men do take much better care of themselves… what with the facials, and plucking waxing which goes on..they call themselves metrosexual males.
And then there are the others, where even personal hygiene is a challenge. The other day, I was at the mall, and I noticed this very nicely dressed guy (I was approaching from the back so cldnt see his face yet), he was wearing a lovely red kurta with jeans, which caught my eye actually but as I neared closer my eyes went to his feet rather than his face (dont ask me why) and :pain: they were disgusting with long filthy toenails… :quiet: needless to say i didnt bother looking at his face. :D
