"The look for the show is all about making the boys look like better versions of themselves. Very clean, polished skin with a twist--and that twist is a high dewy shine on the cheekbones, so that when they're walking down the runway you get a subtle glow."
"Most of the boys have really nice skin, so we're using EvolutionMan products to polish the skin. Starting with the Conceal & Treat concealer ($22) as needed, then matte out with powder. We use the line's Revitalize Eye Gel ($30) where needed, if the guys have bags under their eyes or puffiness. We finish the look off with Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream ($21, 1.7oz), which is a Vaseline-like gel, at the plane of the cheeks. That sets it and gives it a really high shine while everything else is really matte. No heavy grooming--we want the boys to be really natural so they have their individuality."
"To get the look at home, it's all about pulling back 50%. Take Vaseline if you have it in your medicine cabinet and dab just a little bit at the high point of the cheeks. But beware of not putting on too much or you'll look sweaty! If you don't have powder, use facial blotting papers ($2.25, at Muji) around your T-zone and eyes to matte everything out. It's all about a happy contrast. A little coverage here and there doesn't hurt!"
