# Eccentrically Masked Editorials Under the Skin Explores Experimental Makeup for Men By Jana Pijak | Published 2015-04-06 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/makeup-for-men-1 References: [fuckingyoung.es](http://fuckingyoung.es/under-the-skin/) & [studioperipetie.bigcartel](http://studioperipetie.bigcartel.com/) Despite of being vague for the past few seasons, theatrical makeup for men has made a triumphant return in the world of high fashion. F****** Young! Online's 'Under the Skin' editorial celebrates this revival and features experimental and visually striking looks. The masculine beauty editorial highlights masked cosmetics that are created using faux hair, [face paint](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela) and leather fragments. This photo series is lensed by [Studio Peripetie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25) and manages to blend together bold accessories with [artistic makeup for men](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumin-luminator). Overall, 'Under the Skin' celebrates fashion's element of fantasy. Though it has never really left, this somewhat forgotten notion can get lost through the fashion industry's pursuit of minimalism.
