Hi all,

I was wondering if I could get some advice from you :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I am guy, late 20's, and despite working out and being in pretty good shape, any fat that I have seems to go straight onto my face :\ I'm looking for some advice on a product that could help with this. To explain, my face has started to seemingly sag a little on my cheeks, just under my eyes, in that there seems to be a bit of baggae under my eyes, and then under that a bit of fat around my cheeks, that kinda sags a bit. My face still looks fine, but when the light hits it from certain angles above, it really shows the different sections of extra skin on my face (attractive right? form an orderly queue!) and doesnt look great. Whereas when I'm getting ready at the start of the day, and look at my face in the mirror normally, it still looks quite good i think, beause the light is not hitting it from above and infront.

So yeah, I guess I was wondering if you could suggest a basic make up that would be suitable for a guy that would help smooth this out a little, whilst I work on trimming up and shedding the excess skin on my face.

I didnt really want to go to a make up counter, as first of all it's a little awkward, and secondly, they obviously work for that particular brand, so I thought a forum would be more impartial.

Hope I've explained it well enough, but if any further clarification needed, let me know. Ideally, I would like as sublte look as possible, and really without looking like I'm actually wearing any make up.

I'm in the UK as well, so ideally something I could go buy from a store right away,

Thanks in advance, I appreciate any help :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Hi! Welcome to MUT! Have you thought about using skin care to help with the skin? Some skin care can help tighten the skin even when it's just temporarily. Some anti-aging products might work for you. If you don't mind spending more, Estee Lauder just came out with a new skin care line of anti-aging/firming products called New dimension. Also some masks might help with the look of the skin. For less expensive option, L'Oreal has a product line called Revitalift that is anti-aging and skin lifting products. Their overnight skin mask is great. You just put it on after washing your face at night and use it as a night cream. It gets washed off in the morning. 

For makeup type products, maybe some sculpting and highlighting products would help with those areas. L'oreal has a new True Match Lumi liquid and powder glow for highlighting. Their website has tips on how to apply the products. http://www.lorealparisusa.com/en/Brands/Makeup/True-Match-Lumi.aspx?cid=cpc|googleSearchBrand|Search%20-%20Brand%20Makeup|Brand%20-%20True%20Match%20Lumi%20Highlighter|%2Bloreal%20%2Blumi%20%2Bhighlighter&gclid=CjwKEAjw__atBRDfqe-9voylym8SJAAOBeQ_IcYan8zKm0zcyXjQRR4fA3hrmcRW1TOCGmSh9opRuxoCxo_w_wcB

 
SKiin Instant Skin Tightener & Line Filler gives immediate but temporary results. Mix a small amount with moisturizer and apply to the are where you want to see tightening. Some people complain of a crusty, flaky result, but I've found mixing it with moisturizer eliminated that. I also think it works best without wearing makeup over it.
