    Where do you live. It has a lot to do with your choice of colors. I could come by and show you all of the options. I have a special creamy lotion to smooth the Face and throat area. Garland

    If you are "male" (which I doubt) what do you want with makeup? It is one thing to use a skin  lotion if you are working in a tough environment or outdoors in harsh weather, but are you talking eye-shadow, lipstick and other general female facial cosmetics?

    If so, why?

    Are you gay?

    Or do you simply want to troll on this page?

    Skin type is easy. Are your oily or dry. Does just your nose and chin get oily. 

    We have a NYX store in our mall. Two guys work there. It is a great place to go to get help and try out products.  Clinique is good for younger adults.   Getting the right color foundation can be tricky. I always need a lighter color than it would seem I need.  You need a place where you can test a color or a place that will allow you to return your make up.

    You can get help at Sephora and Ulta or Mary Kay. 

    A make up counter in an upscale store like Macy’s. 

    There are YouTubes for men

    And with wearing make up don’t forget good skin care.

    You don’t need to spend $60+ on a foundation to get a good product. But you don’t want to buy cheap stuff either.  

    Try to apply make up in a good day light. Or at least check your self out by a window to see what what it really looks like on you.

    Stores that deal in the sale of make up like Sephora have professional people that can assist you on the proper make up and how to wear it.

    You approach a female friend whose makeup you like and who you think would not give you a hard time, and ask for her help.

    Or, you can try a department store makeover.

    However, I'm not sure how likely either of these are right now during covid.
