Thanks for watching :)
War Paint for Men is a fantastic brand. After watching and reading many great reviews, including yours, I recently purchased the Ultimate Set last week, arriving in time just before my trip to Paris with my brother. It was so easy and quick to apply with no fuss. And it made my complexion a nice even colour that looked natural and fantastic. No one would know you're wearing makeup and that further gave me an added boost of confidence while looking good. Because I wasn't sure of finding your shade and as recommended on their website, I sent an email with a self-photo to get a quick response saying we think fair will best suit you. It turned out to be the right shade for me and works great with my favourite Gatineau skincare products.
So I've just started using the tinted moisturizer & concealer and ohh I absolutely love it! I've had massive confidence issues and anxiety all my life especially about the way I look. This product helps so much and I've not had 1 person ask if I'm wearing make up. It really has done wonders for me I feel much more comfortable and confident in myself. The stigma around men's make up needs to be removed. I'm a straight guy not that it matters one bit but I'm just curious, are there other straight guys out there using this? I don't know what your sexual preference is so apologies if I've caused any offence. None intended. Great video too 👍
I had a lot of acne during puberty, which made me socially withdrawn, I thought I was being judged by everybody. My gf at the time introduced me to woman's make up and it really changed my life. I don't have any acne anymore but I use concealer under my eyes sometimes when I didn't sleep enough. Anyway, it's great to see a company introducing those products to men :) but once you got to know them don't hesitate to try products destined to women it's pretty much the same and you can find them for much cheaper
@@averroes815 thank you bro, I've started using Rimmel primer and brow gel, so much cheaper and just as good if not better. I just need more education and confidence to be able to buy women's brands
Same I'm just looking for something to cover the dark circles under the eyes. People always be pointing it out and nothing I've tried has helped reduce it so I'm almost at the point of just trying to cover it up. For some reason I get the feeling there's a lot more using it than we think.
I am all for you using makeup. If you’re looking into concealers, the maybelline fit me does wonders! I hope you get to explore more than War Paint.
I'm late to the party at 52 but I bought the Warpaint starter kit.Works for me.Primer,tinted moisturizer and concealer.For bronzer I just got Mabeline for about 6 dollars as I am just highlighting.I did pony up for Menaji HiDef anti-shine powder,though.All this stuff works for the daily as long as you don't go really heavy.Come on,dudes...get your makeup on!!!!!!!! :-)
Keep seeing all these brands and good to see a video of the items being warn before I buy
Not gonna lie I just picked up the ultimate kit and am shocked with how well I can apply everything after some makeup research. Even finishing off with the bronzer it still looks natural and not like I have a face full of makeup. Less is definitely more
Just bought this set for myself, only my skin tone came out as fair so we will see. But the exchange rate to AUD made it feel pricey, but worth it by the sound of it.
WAR PAINT I CANT
What do you mean?
@@harrysarada2710 the alternate *ALPHA* name for makeup
It's a cool name, stop hating
@@shrisiva4016 cool name, but that’s all it is. The toxic masculinity they’re promoting is so not cool.
@Joshua William you just don’t get it lmao
Love your content! Keep being you!
I personally wouldn't use makeup on my face or any other part of my body, however I can definitely see a difference from before you used it and after. I'd say if you're a man looking for makeup products this looks like a good range of products. I only stumbled across War Paint because I saw that they sponsor Norwich football club so decided to see what the company was about. Nice video mate
the brush design seems very practicle, I just find it funny that they made it look like a shaving cream brush. I am mad at the drive but loving the ideas of the packages and the accessories design. IT looks like normal makeup tho, but if this is what it takes for some men to get into makeup and if it helps, then why not.
Would you use this full line over your usual products? Or am I better off getting different products from different brands? I just discovered this line and your channel last night.
Yesss finally 💛
I’m going to try this brand for the first time. I usually use MAC products but I’m trying this one item at a time. I don’t want to buy the set in case I’m not fond of it. I’m trying the bronzer first. So far you’ve done a really great and informative video and it looks really good on you. I have close the same complexion but I’m thinking I might actually need one shade darker. It’s so hard to tell online.
1st time watching your video, since i discover you and your cute dog from IG hence i sub couple days ago. So cute 😊💯
@Luxeria made a review about this and she said it is appreciated overall but the shade range is embarrassingly small: 5 shades.
Looks great gonna buy hopefully I can put it on
Since the concealer is lighter than use the primer first than the concealer, than the moisturizing tint, since the MT is closer to your natural skin color and you will get more of a better blend
Great video, thanks so much Carl!
does this makeup cover acne scar aswell?
Idk why coming here again and seing all the negative comments. Guys, let him live his lives! There's too much negativity on this world. ❤
Good video.Thanks,man.Your tips are very helpful. :-)
How do you know what order to put it all on
I suffer with really red cheeks and have done all my life, it's something that I've always been insecure about and I've only just started considering using something for it, what sort of product should I be looking at? I just want the redness to even out, even if it's just a little.
Hey mate I have red cheeks also and im a 25 year old male. I’ve always hated my red cheeks but honestly I’m still sort of trying different things out but a green tea dash wash is good as green tea is calming for redness. And then a good moisturiser is key! Follow that up with something simple to start with maybe a light foundation or a light bb cream and just get a feel for how it sits on your skin and if you like the coverage or want more coverage! All trial and error but defiantly plenty of ways to get around the redness!:) I hope that helps!
I meant *face wash haha
I thought you were meant to put the concealer on before the tinted moisturiser? That’s what it says on the website
So im a straight guy who really wants to use this and i know im going to get alot of hate here in texas where i live so i havent been able to have the courage to buy it yet. Is it something that if i use it will look super obvious ?
I live in Ohio but had the same reservations. I got some shit at an Ulta Beauty nearby and felt a bit embarrassed to be in there. It’s all due to stigmatization but getting this brand from the website delivered to my door let me explore different types of makeup products without feeling out of place at a store designed for women. They don’t have a large shade selection, but i didn’t find that to be an issue as their light shade is pretty close to my skin tone
@@stevienixx well update I've been wearing it for two months now and get compliments constantly about how nice my skin looks! I love it!!! I highly highly recommend
How would you apply makeup if you also have 4-5mm facial hair? I feel naked without some mm of hair
You can really use makeup the same even with facial hair. You can try a good beard oil first or something for facial hair prior to using anything. You can even skip the primer. Probably you’d want to use less liquid and more on the powder side like the bronzer and anti-shine powder. That’s how I do it since I normally do have some facial hair.
Can someone help with what they would do for burn scars...so, my skin is just a mix of shades. My forehead and around my eyes and cheeks. I just want to find something to ease the color difference. I miss my skin color:(
Might be worth you having a look at something like a camouflage cream or a ‘full coverage’ foundation or concealer.
That's is crazy good
Makeup doesn’t have a gender, & it works for every gender, skin texture & colour, just wear normal makeup lmao!
Not actually... usually the male skin is rougher
And also, women have more delicate features, some make-up serves to highlight this characteristic
@@pineapplebasket1445 no
@@pineapplebasket1445 no, tell that to the millions of guys that have been wearing normal makeup for years
This is ordinary makeup
Does it rub off easy?
It’s like any makeup that could smudge a little throughout the day. I use a MAC set spritz which gives good hold to the makeup throughout the day without needing many touch ups.
Good video.
5 shades of foundations that’s so bad I wear Estée Lauder and they have like 50 shades or more in their Foundations
💖
It looks like funeral home make-up on me I'm contemplating on sending it back 🤣🤣
War Paint is👍
❤❤❤❤
it's hurtful that I haven't seen this before. bruhhh
Where i get this produit
Idk you can probably get something better at Sephora
yes I'm here for the memes 💝👀✨
Soooo as a beauty content creater I have a few opinions on this brand and video First my opinion is not personal towards Carl just the review 1. He stated he paid for the products to ensure he can do a honest review 😳 2 . I’m shocked that he seems to think 5 shades is acceptable ... it makes no sense at all 3 . The price point is very expensive 4 . The brand in my opinion is a bad image for men ,,, typical toxic masculinity that we don’t need in 2020 ... at the end if the day makeup is makeup 5 . If they are marketing towards masculine men ( and they are I’ve seen their Instagram ) I think the men should just grow a pair , go to sephora or boots and see exactly what is out there in terms of makeup ... I can name 100 drug store brands that would give a better finish As a male who wears makeup and reviews makeup I’m offended when makeup brands aim towards men and women separately ... as I’ve said many times before makeup is makeup And this is no shade to Carl just my opinion
HEF By David I completely understand where your coming from and of course it’s your opinion. Yes makeup is for all but to help some people find the courage to actually wear it I don’t think making a brand specifically for men is bad. It took me a while myself and some people not like us might never find that confidence. I agree the shade range is minimal but i understand a new makeup brand starting out with minimal budgets compared to huge global brands it can be hard to release 100s or shades. I feel with there 5 shades they are still given an option to all types of skin tones. I appreciate you watching and of course these are your views and everyone is entitled to their own opinion :)
Carl Cunard of course 100% ... literally nothing to do with you I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now And I get men not having the courage starting out I was 1 of those men 3 years ago haha and I feel like I had a negative image of men in makeup at that time but also wasted my money on the wrong products that don’t work just because they are aimed towards men I’m in the middle of starting my own cosmetic line atm so I get budget ... but I do also see they are paying love island contestants to promote the brand so I wudda just spent the extra few pounds on a few more shades lol ... But good review , as I said have been watching for years and no personal opinion toward you 👌
@@dbydavid3028 Thanks for sharing your thoughts. 1. We can confirm Carl definitely purchased these products and we haven't paid or gifted anything for this review. We only just found out Carl has created a review. 2. We understand for some men a lower shade range is not suitable. Different guys apply makeup differently, and a lot of the feedback we received is regarding guys not wanting shade ranges to be complicated. We often get messages from men finding it hard to choose from the 5. We are working on expanding our shade range, however as a start up with so many exciting new opportunities, these things can take time. 3. We produce our own formula in the UK, we don't repackage already made formula's with our branding. This is important to us and naturally will increase the cost. That won’t suit everyone and some people will prefer to spend more money on different items, whether it’s accessories, makeup, clothing, cars, etc.
4. Our brand focuses on bringing men to the forefront. Most makeup brands only use and feature women, creating products that primarily suit that market. There are many beauty brands out there and some will cater to different kinds of customers and needs. Makeup is makeup like you said. But likewise, this could be said with clothing, skin care, shoes and more, there are dedicated collections and brands for men and women. Why do we have razor brands targeted at women? Razors are razors, but they’re packaged in lighter colours with a woman on the front and are more expensive. If makeup was for everyone all the major brands would be using a range of men on their marketing campaigns and making it more gender neutral. A lot of people commenting on this won't bring this to the major makeup brands not featuring men. 5. Our founder, Danny, struggled massively with body dysmorphia and that affected his mental health. Makeup helped him regain confidence. It is so easy to tell a guy ‘grow a pair’, and forget the stigma and backlash people face daily for simply talking about their insecurities. You may have the confidence to walk into a store, and we applaud you for that. In a day and age where people talk about Mental Health and want to raise awareness around the rise in male suicide, it’s strange to see phrases like ‘grow a pair’. Let’s be kinder. To clarify, War Paint is the brand name, and came from a popular term ‘putting my War Paint on’ that was used by women, and nothing to do with making makeup sound masculine. We also personally respond to everyone asking questions or reaching out for support. We are always open to collaborations, answering any questions or thoughts, so please feel free to reach out to us via our social channels.
War Paint For Men well I completely appreciate this reply I am taking your points into consideration and have already spent the last 25 mins looking at your Instagram and website Maybe I will have to give it a go and try it for myself ❤️
I want to come give you tips and help you so badly! Not that you are doing anything wrong just help you out because I’ve been doing makeup for years!
This is just for insecure straight men that are scared to go into a Sephora or Ulta, it’s still makeup the shade range was horrible, and who wears a tinted moisturizer and a foundation? I’m confused by that part, no shade I love Carl’s content I just expected him to mention something about the shade range and instead he acted as if 5 shades is enough for everybody that’s insane. If your a straight guy and you don’t want to go into Sephora or a ulta then just order online this brand is just playing on the fears that straight men have when it comes to makeup. In my opinion this is over priced and had no coverage, imagine If Becca or too faced came out with 5 foundation shades they would dragged, fenty has a gentleman’s package which is cheaper and a lot better. But to each their own I guess.
Rashaad Minter 100% agree and at the end of the day makeup is makeup ... and 5 shades ok 😂
I like estee lauder. They have a larger shade range than Fenty even.
You’re absolutely right. And what exactly is wrong with being an insecure straight man who wants a brand that feels marketed towards them? You’re talking like it’s a bad thing. Get ur head out of the bubble not every guy thinks like you do.
I agree with you. The brand’s very idea to break the norm just shows they are the ones who believe makeup is genderized, which is so not the case. It’s sad that men needs to have a specific brand just so they can buy and use it. While I am all for men wearing makeup, I don’t think there should be a brand created just for them. I haven’t heard a woman say that makeup is genderized, so ig that’s a men’s problem? They created the stigma and now they’re trying to break it. How ironic.
There’s nothing wrong with a brand marketed to men. There are a ridiculous amount of cosmetic companies for women who all have the same shit and throwing shade at one directed towards men entering the market is an insult to a great step towards introducing makeup to men
Primer before moisturizer? Wtf
For tinted moisturizer you should use the primer before cause its a mix of foundation and moisturizer
Geeeeesussssss
Does this product come with high heels and a purse?
😂😂
LOL! OMG!
Yeah, I’m just gonna wear actual war paint lol
Nah bro that shit sucks lol, it’s like grease
I'd giive it a crack! So expensive tho!!!
That and everything on their website says "pre-order" :/ no idea when they're going to restock either or if they will. Its been saying this for awhile now
I m not funde it in Algérie i m from there
Wtf the fuck? Was that English? 😂
Brooo Noo, don’t blow on your brushes🤧
the way you use the brush is wrong

Nooo dont do that. You have to give little beats around your eyebags
@Rc Cola Sorry, i didnt understood a word you said
You looked so handsome all natural without the war paint makeup. It wasn't needed at all. Handsome
Love your video! But I think it's a bit dumb that the brand is FOR MEN like it's just make up...
mickael caouette exactly ... makeup is makeup
We wish all the major brands marketing towards women felt the same way, representing men on campaigns and creating products to suit their needs. It's hard for one brand to suit everyone. The same could be said for clothing, accessories, shoes and so much more, other than sizing and colours that are personal to each individual, why do we have collections dedicated to men or women and different brands. A lot of male makeup brands get this comment, but the sad reality is the lack of representation and normalising of all men using makeup by all the major brands has created this stigma. Many guys would purchase skinny jeans from women's sections in stores before they started bringing in collections for men including skinny jeans, just like women purchasing razors for men before brands started creating women's razors. Brands do this to make people more comfortable with purchasing a product that traditionally seen as for either women or men. We want to make makeup acceptable for everyone, give people a choice.
War Paint For Men I’m going to purchase some products and give them a go
people actually buying this are just wasting their money, go and buy a NYX brow pencil, cera ve moisturizer.. and the small amount of the products is disappointing
Your right side is better..
Y’all are complaining how it’s not inclusive, were y’all complaining about dude wipes? They had a target audience. Definitely first world problems 😂 who cares
I don't care for this product, and I think it's pointless, but it's hilarious to see all these people acting like the mere existence of this product is a threat to their lifestyle or something. It's just another company with different marketing and has no effect on them whatsoever.
This is just overpriced for insecure men, just get regular makeup and save
I mean for a straight guy that don’t know anything about make up I think this is perfect. I couldn’t see myself walking into Sephora for makeup ever.
Its not about being insecure, its daunting how many products there are and considering how it's not socially acceptable for men to wear makeup, it's a good starting point.
Alex Turlais I agree
@@alexturlais8558 I use make up every single day and I use Fenty, L'Oréal and more...
Lmao what happened with "let people live and mind your business"? 🤡
That legit looks cakey and chalky. The moisturizer shade is better than the foundation, but neither are good. 10/10 this was a sponsored vid becaus no human with working eyes would do this product review and determine this is good.
I paid for all the products myself 😁 So no sponsor here hunny. This video is all in my opinion and I thought the products were good. Each to their own opinion
First
…Wasnt this an snl sketch
PLS ISN’T THIS THE GIORGIO ARMANI LIP BALM DUDE 😭😭😭
Ffs 🤦♂️
Being lucky enough to be a nice guy, you can't say the products are hurting you. You are the same as before. No, sorry. The setting powder was clearly white and not "transparent" and thanks to the lights I suppose that the direct application of powder (setting powder) on other powder (bronzer) hid the "natural" "dusty" effect. Certainly, for those who love the "natural" matte look .... (because a healthy and healthy skin looks dull, right? Or maybe not ...) and maybe 25 years old like you ... the result It's guaranteed.
Nice guy but wonder if he had any education in regard to the beauty industry. It seems he is just giving comment on products he just buys out of intrest to use himself. Some rules of applying make-up are completely ignored. For an example I noticed he does not know how to draw eyebrows. As I said nice guy but his advise is purely based on his own experience and not on his knowledge as a professional make-up artist. Stil good to look at his video’s though.
Ah…he’s a guy! Not a women. Of course you have more experience and knowledge…you’ve been using makeup since you were 8yrs old 😂. Chill out. I think it looks natural and onpoint for a guy.
I understand your point, although I actually like the way he reviews it. I'm his target audience: a guy who wishes to conceal some spots, maybe on occasion look a bit healthier and less tired. By no means any formal or informal make-up education. So with regard to your example: if he would have demonstrated a product by drawing and eyebrow first that would be an immediate disqualifier for me, as I don't know how to do this either and if he test the products in a too 'professional' way, I will never know how they compare when used/applied in my less-than-professional way. With regards to the products themselves (not the application), yes a formal education could be e plus but to me he comes across is someone who spends wayyyy more time on this subject than I do, making him an expert for me by default.
I feel gay watching this.
😂🤣
Bronze did get taken away. 5 colour shades is not enough. You have a lot of potential but need to work on your editing and presenting. A little more humour or entertainment would be nice. Glad you did this review as not enough out there about men's only makeup lines. No hate just support in what I say.
