BEHIND THE SCENES - MALES DO WEAR MAKE-UP.

I get asked all the time if male models wear make-up...

I guess it's a legitimate question for people who don't work in the industry....
...and the answer is yes, they do, indeed.
Generally for male models we take care of the skin - so we cover blemishes, dark circles, take away the shiness, by using a foundation or a tinted moisturiser or just concealer, or even just powder. Sometimes the look implies the use of eyeliner or eyeshadow, or even crazy aqua colours, it can vary depending on the type of jobs and what the client wants.
I'm going to publish backstage pictures from a photo shoot I did last autumn, where Fabien was wearing face and eye make up.

TRUCCO

We never stop learning...
For years I believed that no matter what a lipgloss is a lipgloss i.e. very different from a lipstick, and  because of it's texture and it's nature it's bound to come off and doesn't last very long.
So I never believed in super long lasting formulas etc etc..until I tried the TRUCCO's one.
Dear make up lovers that TRUCCO lipgloss is amazing!. I used it on a shoot on location where the model where standing on the top of  a hill and I couldn't reach her too often...each time I had a chance I was running to her to retouch her lips..to find out that I didn't need to, the gloss was still there, immaculate, on his deepest cherry colour. And there's a bonus: it smells delicious!
Now...the bad news is that I don't know  where I can find this brand in Italy. . TRUCCO is the make up line of SEBASTIAN HAIR CARE. I've managed to get that gloss a while ago from a collegue in the UK..but I've heard  that sadly the brand has been disontinued.
I will definitely investigate to find out if it's true, in the meantime I'll give you a couple of links wher you can purchase them:
