Hiding Stubble - Tumblr Posts

Hi, I was wondering how you get such a smooth shave. I feel like however I do it there's always stubble visible.

I've got a few things that have helped me shave super smooth, but there's also a bit of make up that goes into it as well.

Before I start shaving I wash/exfoliate my face with warm to clean out any debris that could get in the way of shaving off the hairs. Then once I have cleaned my face I rinse off with warm water. Next I apply the shaving cream/gel to my face in a circular motion.

After that I grab my blade and run it under cold water for a few seconds---this makes the blade a bit harder and keeps it from flexing too much.

Now the shave itself: I initially shave along with the grain (my beard hair grow out then down so i shave down my face). Afterwards I shave sideways to get the bits that feel too rough. Once all that shaving is done I rinse my face with cold water to close the pores and limit any redness with a nice aftershave and lotion to finish it off.

Now that your face is all smooth you may notice that there is still a noticeable blue/green speckle (I have a very noticeable 5 'o clock shadow) so this is where the make up comes in.

Lightly dab some light, but yellowish concealer throughout your face where the stubble is. YOU NEED WAY LESS THAN WHAT YOU THINK!!!!! Use your fingers and spread it out for coverage of the desired areas. Then I take a liquid concealer and a slightly damp beauty blender and dab the concealer on my face. AGAIN, YOU NEED WAY LESS THAN WHAT YOU THINK!

Once all that is on I then apply a blush, highlight, and setting powder. I've done this so many times I can do this part within about 3-5 minutes, but initially it took me like 15 minutes.

This method isn't perfect but it works pretty darn well. I'm sure there are other and more effective ways of covering up stubble, but this is a method I came up with that works for me.
