I'm definitely in favor of men wearing makeup. I was in Starbucks yesterday and a guy came in with smokey eyes. It looked like black liner from a distance but when I got closer it had a hint of dark purple...I thought I was going to melt...he looked gorgeous

I will say it again. Make up for men is an absolute must for most guys. Who the hell doesn't want to look the best that they can?

well, check out my post because there' s a picture of makeup that i did on my boyfriend. when i met him, he owned more MAC makeup than i did. he wanted to be a makeup artist and didn' t care what people thought about him practicing on himself and going out like that. everyone thought he was a girl, gay, or a ******, but still hah. he was very straight and very talented.

i like men to be all rugged & masculine

Me, too!

No makeup, high heels, skirts, etc. for men.....Vive la difference!

Agreed, sort of...! I'm not the manliest of men, but I do like my men to be men...

A tinted moisturizer or foundation, a little powder, maybe a little "help" with eyebrows/lashes is perfectly fine as far as I'm concerned, as long as it's discreet and looks natural.

Come to think of it, that's more or less what I prefer in women too!

Women can use a lot more make-up in crazy colours without looking "strange", but men can't yet. More and more younger men are using makeup, so it might only be a question of time until men in full makeup is normal...

 

[i_<3_chanel]

ofcourse tott! grooming, good eyebrows, skin are all great . .
anythn tht helps w/tht make up wise . . i'm all for it!
but when it's starts to venture into punk rock . . smokey eyeliner & lips territory i cringe a bit.

 

[goosemaster]

sexy.

 

[kiss&tell]

Other people might have different opinions but I don't like it on guys...

I believe that all people, regardless of gender (and all other factors), should be allowed to wear makeup in whatever way they feel compelled.

Personally, I am a male and I went through a time when I wore make up. I wore foundation to cover up my acne, but I stopped because I was hiding behind the makeup.

I have acne, people can see it. Who cares? It hasn't stopped me from being successful in a variety of fields and making lasting relationships.

I thought about putting on eyeliner and doing all sorts of facial-designs with makeup. But that's for an event, it wouldn't be an every-day thing.

 

[kateelle]

Definitely not, at least on straight men.
