Prime your skin
Like preparing a blank canvas for an oil painting, preparing your skin is essential for guaranteeing an even base for your makeup. As the first product in your makeup routine, primer ensures a smooth airbrushed effect that keeps your makeup in place all day. It’s not essential, so can be skipped when you’re in a pinch, but the War Paint Primer helps the rest of your makeup thrive by reducing the appearance of large pores, fine lines and wrinkles.
Concealer
Perhaps the most essential product in your makeup repertoire - Concealer. Whether you want to cover up dark circles, scars, or an acne breakout, use concealer to literally conceal anything you’d rather hide. War Paint Concealer is an easy to use cream based formula, which is as easy as dabbing on with your finger - the heat created between your skin will help melt the product into your skin, ensuring a seamless and natural looking blend.
Tinted Moisturiser
Summer is gone, but a natural looking glow can still be achieved with the War Paint Tinted Moisturiser. Basically a mix of moisturiser and foundation, tinted moisturiser is great to use if you’ve noticed your overall complexion is slightly uneven. Super easy to use - simply apply to your fingers and gently apply into your skin. It’s lightweight and buildable - meaning you can add more if desired. If you're after more coverage to even out your complexion, try the War Paint Foundation.
Bronzer
If you really want to achieve that just-got-back-from-the-Maldives look, use the War Paint Bronzer to add warmth definition to your face and body. Apply this over your foundation or tinted moisturiser with the Metal Powder Brush and focus on areas that the sun would naturally hit your face - like your nose, forehead and temples. Or for a more defined look; try brushing Bronzer below the cheekbones and on the sides of your nose.
Beard + Brow Gel
Get a hold of your unruly eyebrows and beard by adding a slick finish. Because men’s facial hair is slightly thicker and fuller than women’s it needs more maintenance. War Paint’s lightweight, non-sticky Beard + Brow Gel will shape and control your facial hairs, keeping them in place all day.
Anti Shine
If your brows, temples, nose and cheeks tend to get shiny throughout the day - join the club. Thankfully the War Paint Anti-Shine Powder helps to neutralise and absorb oils to prevent you from looking like a bike reflector. Using is easy - simply apply with a Powder Brush for a smooth matte finish.
