How to Hide Facial Stubble
Unwanted stubble is often a problem for women who shave facial hair, although men who find it difficult to achieve a close shave or have very dark or fast-growing facial hair can also be troubled by it. The good news is that both sexes can benefit by using makeup techniques that effectively mask facial stubble. A range of cosmetics, including foundation and concealer sticks, are also available for men and are designed to give more natural and discreet coverage. Does this Spark an idea?

Smooth the facial stubble with eyebrow wax applied in the natural direction of the hair growth. This helps disguise the growth and enables concealer and foundation makeup to do a more effective job.

Disguise facial stubble with makeup. Find a foundation that complements your skin’s texture and tone and apply it in downward strokes over the problem area and the rest of your face. Blend it in with your fingers or a makeup sponge, concentrating on the skin around your eyes, nose, cheeks and chin. If you're a woman, dab on a little powder to even out your skin tone if the foundation doesn’t cover the facial hair completely. If you're a man, make sure and smooth any lines around the hair and jawline if you don't want it to be apparent that you are wearing makeup.
