Facial hair is no different. Every mutton chop, soul patch, and handlebar mustache belongs to its own special time—and just because these guys belong in the modern decade doesn’t mean their beards do.
Men’s facial hair style burst onto the scene in the ’90s, and it’s remained a favorite. Celebrities such as Robert Downey Jr. and Leonardo DiCaprio love to rock it.
It’s simply a mustache and goatee that are connected. It’s great for guys who want to conceal their jawline – especially those with square faces.
Though it doesn’t require extensive maintenance, men should take care to shave around the circle to keep it crisp.
Men’s facial hair style is usually just a step up in length from stubble. The uniform style is great for oval, square, and round faces as it accentuates a little edge.
It’s particularly well-suited for the office, as it constitutes a full beard without going overboard.
This could be the best option for the man who wants a bit more than 5 o’clock shadow but can’t quite pull off a full-length beard.
Let’s be honest…. this is the ISSUE you deal with as you step out:
Everyone around you dresses like non-issue ….so if you up your style game you’re going to be made fun of!
You’re turned down when you ask women out. In fact you overhear one of them calling you the “fall-back” option.
When you dress-up you feel like a clown. You don’t know the difference between a suit & sports jacket, bow-tie & necktie, and why the hell does style matter?
You want to improve your image, but where to start?
WAY too much info out there and half that undesired contradicts itself.
You don’t want to waste money on crap clothing you’ll never wear.
You tried to dress stylish and were made fun of by everyone in the office. Even your girl asked what’s up with the costume.
You HATE shopping…you walk into a store and you don’t have a clue…
Which aisle? Which color? Pants? Shoes? Jackets? GAHHHH…Just Forget it!
You’re skinny…..and your style makes you look like a twig.
You’re overweight….and your clothing makes you look even fatter!
You’re 5’4”….and your clothing makes you look like 4’5”!
You spend 8 hours shopping and buy NOTHING because you can’t find clothing you like…OR you don’t even know WHAT you’re supposed to like!!
You’re 6’6” and need to dress like a wealth manager, not an NBA draft pick.
Everyone questions your decisions DESPITE the fact you’re right (and the boss!)
You feel you’ll never attract a beautiful woman. They’re out of your league.
You dressed up once…but felt like an imposter. This isn’t “you”…
You’ve lost your MOJO, your inner fire, your edge. What happened?

Thank you …. In a year that many of us spent indoors or hidden behind a mask, the way we think about beauty has changed more profoundly than, perhaps, at any other time in living memory.
The pandemic posed plenty of new and unexpected challenges for the image-conscious, from shuttered salons to the scourge of “mask.” Yet it also spawned ingenious new solutions, whether it was DIY skincare or YouTube makeup tutorials during lockdown.
And who would have thought hand sanitizer would become one of the year’s essentials?
Hardships experienced around the world have put into perspective the relative importance, or not, of worrying about how we look (though with lipstick sales down and searches for cosmetic surgery up, this may depend on which metric you’re looking at).
But 2022 has also reminded us what beauty is really all about: having fun, feeling better about ourselves and, thanks to social media, connecting with one another in the process.
As barbershops, hair salons, nail salons and beauty parlors shuttered due to the pandemic, our grooming behaviors didn’t simply relax — they became more ingenious.
Do you want to add a word or two?
Taking a leaf out of our grandparents’ natural remedy books — or, more likely, YouTube beauty tutorials — we started experimenting with facial mask recipes, at-home waxes, hair styles and braids.
One of the pandemic’s biggest online beauty trends, “Quarantine nails,” saw people posting their creative attempts at nail art, from rainbow manicures.
Lockdown also heralded the return of the buzz cut, with men, women and celebrities reaching for the clippers to shave their locks.
With masks entering the mainstream (well, in most places), the way we use makeup has changed drastically.
One major trend?
An uptick in products like eye shadows, brow pencils and mascaras.
In learning how to smile with our eyes, or “smize,” we turned to bold color palettes, smokey purple eye shadow, floating eyeliners, statement brows, spider lashes and the warmest of highlighters to express ourselves creatively (or glam up even when there was nowhere to go).
Sales of eye makeup have soared during the pandemic. In the UK alone, eye shadow’s share of the “prestige” beauty market grew during lockdown, according to research analyst NPD Group. In China, where the virus first hit at the end of 2019, e-commerce giant Alibaba reported that the term “mask makeup looks” began trending on social media in early 2020.
Your comments….
Lipstick, on the other hand, had a pretty poor 2020. Often obliged to hide the lower half of our faces behind coverings, we ditched the bright colors in favor of a natural lip that wouldn’t smudge our masks, relegating lipstick to the bottom of our makeup drawers.
Why bother, when no one could see us smile anyway?
In the US, lipstick sales saw a bigger drop than any other type of cosmetic, according to consulting firm McKinsey. Some have even declared the demise of the “Lipstick Index” — a term, coined by Estée Lauder chairman Leonard Lauder after lipstick sales rose in the month after 9/11, to explain why, even in times of turmoil and economic uncertainty, we still seek small luxuries in our daily l
