 Well fellas, the secret is out. We are allowed to look after ourselves and (shock, horror) now that involves using a little make-up (or man-up if you prefer) to make sure we're at our best. Only a select few men will fully embrace the advice below and if you're
one of those teetering on the edge- give it a go. Most of the products
are made for men, and all of them are now acceptable to use by both
sexes and all genders. Guyliner has been and gone and now we're looking to more subtle ways of making ourselves look magazine handsome. So here goes, the first Top 5 not by Jamie. All about men. Let's hope I get it right...
 YSL Touche Éclat
In the UK there is a specific version for men but, in essence, it's the same product repackaged. Apply sparingly to brighten up the face and hide those patches of skin- particularly eye bags- that you don't want people seeing.
The product comes in a variety of shades for different skin tones so everyone's a winner. Obviously, this kind of make up won't gain the approval of every bloke, but there's no reason it shouldn't.
$40 from YSL
 Clinique Three Step
Okay, okay. So it's more of a regime than a product, but the range shouldn't break the bank. It's all about laying the foundations for good skin and Clinique is one of the best out there.
Wash your face with the soap or face wash, exfoliate with the scruffing lotion and then moisturize with the M Lotion or M Gel-Lotion. Simple.
What's even better is that the regime comes with a few combinations depending on your preferences and skin types. There are soaps, liquids, foams and lotions so you can guarantee there will be a program for you.
From $43-48 from Clinique
 4Voo Shape & Shine Nail Set
Men should have good nails. Long gone are the days of the caveman, where nails could be as black as night and as germ-infested as a toilet bowl. Men's nails should be round, and a bit of shine never hurt anyone now, did it?
$20 from 4Voo (http://www.4voo.com/nail_set.htm)
 Ken Men X-Treme Lip Service- Healing Sport Stick
A fancy way of saying lip balm. There's hundreds of these on the market from Vaseline to Carmex. The choice really is yours. This one's enriched with vitimin E with the properties of Shea Butter, Sunflower Seed oil and a few more fantastic things.
Moisturised lips are happy lips.
$15 from Ken Men
 Clinique Non-Streak Bronzer
Back to Clinique for our final product. It's that fantastic. For men who want to conceal bits of bad skin or just go for a more healthy, sun-kissed glow, bronzer is in.
This product is actually made for men, so there's really no excuse. Clinique also offer a M Cover stick which will do a similar job to the YSL Touche éclat for those of you who daren't dive right in.
Non-streak Bronzer $15 from Clinique
