I have a shoot on Sunday with 9 male models.  I know men don't really use alot of make up (not like a shoot with a woman) obviously.  But I would like to do some fashion shots and all I have is like 2 ideas.  I was thinking like the smoky eye on the guy to make him look dark.  But I need like 7 other ideas.  Help!!

Hmmmmm.... You can also do what I call the grimey look, by using a combination of oil and water on the face and lightly smearing some black shadow under his eye and on small sections of the face. I have done this for a Urban Outfitters type shoot and it turned out pretty good. 

Or you can do a blush cheek and lip look by very lightly adding a stain on the cheeks and lips and keeping it matte looking.
