L’Oréal Releases New Line Of Makeup Specifically For Men To Wear When Wives Not Home

Via The Onion:
NEW YORK—In an effort to cater to a long-neglected demographic, global cosmetics brand L’Oréal released Sheer Discretion this week, a new line of makeup specially designed for men to wear when their wives are not home. “Sheer Discretion enables men everywhere to finally give themselves the full eyelashes and pouty lips they deserve while their wives are away at work,” L’Oréal representatives said of the cosmetic products, which come in discreet packaging and can be quickly wiped clean with just a splash of water if one’s wife suddenly walks through the front door. “Featuring a smooth foundation that conceals, hides imperfections, and blends evenly over the thickest stubble, our Sheer Discretion line of products are casual enough for just hanging out in the living room in your wife’s blouse or providing that exact dash of chic you need to pull off her ruby chiffon gown.” L’Oréal executives confirmed that the product release would be accompanied by an advertising campaign urging women to enjoy an evening out with their friends and leave their husbands at home for the night.

Satire: Maybelline Introduces New Ideal-Woman Rubber Mask To Use In Place Of Makeup

Maybe it's Maybelline..

NEW YORK—Touting it as their most stylish and advanced beauty product to date, officials from global cosmetics brand Maybelline unveiled Thursday the Ideal-Woman Rubber Mask, a flexible facial covering that can be worn over the head in lieu of makeup. “Instead of spending hours each morning applying multiple cosmetic products, now women can simply roll out of bed, grab their stunning latex polymer beauty mask that has been molded to accepted standards of female beauty, and stretch it snugly over their face and hair,” Maybelline spokeswoman Jessica Healy said of the one-size-fits-all contoured masks, which designers carefully crafted with rouged cheeks, pouty full lips, high cheekbones, and a small taut chin for maximum physical appeal. “In the short time it takes to line up the mask’s mouth, nose, and eye holes with your own features, you’ll easily achieve a look that would have otherwise taken hours to create, allowing you to confidently go through the day without ever having to pause to reapply.” Maybelline executives noted that the Ideal-Woman Rubber Mask is only available in Caucasian.

5 Makeup Myths Busted.

Are you a person who believes these?

1. You have to use a primer.

Yes, people have winning face primers and eye shadow primers. No, you don't have to use them. Eye shadow primer can help make shadows easier to blend. But if you don't find that they deliver seamless results or minimize imperfections, skip them.

2. A foundation brush is a must.

Not so. Your fingers work just as well. While professionals often use a brush with clients, who may not be keen on having their faces touched, fingers have their advantages. They warm the makeup so it melts into skin. Also, you can feel when the makeup starts to drag instead of glide, a signal to add a smidgen more.

3. Base should go all over.

You may need coverage everywhere, but that doesn't mean you should put on an even coating of foundation that'll make your face look mask like. You have the most redness and discoloration around your nostrils, the tip of your nose, and the bottom of your chin, so start in the center of your face and work out. You need the least coverage near your hairline.

4. Don't use powder.

Here's the official green light for using a powder; like a mineral makeup if that's what you prefer. Simply stick to the even planes of your face (like your cheeks and chin) and avoid areas with fine lines (like your forehead or near your eyes). One caveat: If you have large pores, skip powder, as it can settle into and draw attention to them.

5. Concealer should be pale.

There's no need to fuss about your undereye concealer shade. Many have a peachy cast to correct bluish and gray circles. Some have a pinkish hue to brighten. Just make sure yours looks natural when blended into your skin.
