Foundations are worn to cover imperfections and flaws on the skin. Men with beard are advised not to wear foundation. If at all you use a foundation, let it be water-based and thin and apply small quantum of it. But remember to blend it well for the best makeup look. 

Tinted Moisturizer

Powder

Use powder to write off the shine on your face. To look natural, do away with the foundation and only apply powder. Apply powder on the areas of your forehead, nose, and chin (these are the most shining areas). Use pressed and loose powder. There are different colors of powder. They also come in the translucent category. 

Guyliner/Eyeliner

Sport a gothic look by using eyeliner. Wear it lightly, if you have a masculine face. With light or blonde lashes, use black mascara. If you have a pale skin tone, opt for dark brown or brownish/black eyeliner. Make yourself comfortable while wearing it. 

Lip balm / Lipstick

Wearing lipstick is a fashion statement for men as well. Wear it if only you are comfortable. Do not use light tones but stick to dark shades for augmenting your own lip color. For a natural look, wear a lip balm for the shine and also to protect your lips from varied weather conditions.
