Makeup for Guys.

[Madame Adequate]

But seriously, when did metrosexuality turn into being a flamer? In all seriousness, boys shouldn't wear make-up simply because it makes them look feminine. Maybe I'm just an old fashioned gay boy, but I believe everyone who likes males physically, likes them for who they are.

Okay, are you some kind of deep-cover troll or something? After all the BS gay people have had to put up with, now you're coming along and saying "Don't look feminine!"?

I laugh at you, and thank you for showing me that just because someone's part of a group that's been mistreated by society, there is absolutely no guarantee that they'll act any better.

And finally, your tastes are very far from universal.

Stop with the personal jabs, alrighty everyone?

And for everyone saying that men shouldn't wear makeup, some might argue that Nixon's refusal to wear any makeup during his first television broadcast of the Presidential debate between him and Kennedy cost him the election. So basically, if you don't wear makeup, you won't become president.

[Yamaneko]

I'll be the first President in sixty years to run on a "no makeup" platform.

Don't you have to wear makeup so you look better on camera? I assumed you have to wear makeup just so you look normal on TV. *says nothing about the fact that people would vote using such things to decide*

I find men who look like women to be disturbing. "Look like women" is not rigorously defined, but makeup is a good start. Saying I don't like makeup on men is the same as saying I don't like any other feature. It doesn't mean everyone has to stop having that feature. It means if you do have that feature, I will think you look ugly. I can't see why anyone would care about what other people think looks ugly, unless you plan on dating them.

I was just talking to someone about this the other day! :</>D I won't find it weird if men wear certain makeup, like concealer.. I mean, they have a right to hide their zits as much as we do ;] But hmm like lipstick, I duuunno, it'd be pretty iffy.. I don't even wear lipstick myself, and kissing a guy wearing it... hehehee :</>D

Anyway what exactly is foundation supposed to do? Cos' I'm really not a huge expert on makeup. I do concealer for zits and under eye shadows although I haven't really found my perfect shade yet, and I'll do a few eye things (mmm no eyeshadow though) thing but that's about it :3 Oh and lipgloss, that is pretty yummy ^-^

[*ETERNAL FANTASY*]

im going to sound like a complete idiot but...

what the hell is foundation?

as for me i just use lotion around my face cause i got a problem with dry skin...especially around winter! As for guys wearing makeup...hmm i dont really care unless its really noticable but even with that i dont care if its someone i dont know!

[Markus. D]

if I could get up the guts to wear it.

*conseals blemishes*


ps: Your face maybe gets irritated and aggros the Oil gland thingsomos...

I wouldn't normally use makeup, unless it's some special event that requires special looks, such as a costume party, acting on a theater etc. Oh yeah, and when I was a kid and we went to do the equivalent of trick-or-treat (except we do it in the Easter), we were having makeup on. However, if guys want to use makeup, then a little bit of it is alright, I guess, though I wouldn't like the sight of some guy's makeup being totally overdone.

I abhore the use of make-up on men, with the exception of one man;



It's easy to see why the rule wouldn't apply. Keep it Piratey.

Haha, for some reason I was thinking about Johnny Depp when I started to browse this thread.

If you use some powder over the top of your foundation it stops it fading as much. ^___^ Personally I mainly use Maybellene Dream Matte Mousse which is brilliant stuff and feels really nice on your skin but otherwise I sometimes use Rimmel London Recover (with Vitamins C & E) or Rimmel London Lasting Finish.

Personally I prefer guys without makeup. Fair enough if guys want to wear a bit of eyeliner or foundation but as far as I'm concerned guys look better without makeup. I'm glad my boyfriend doesn't wear makeup - I probably wouldn't find him as attractive.

[Loony BoB]

Makeup on guys? That's not cool. I don't like it, personally.

Makeup is used by a lot of people who don't need it, and I don't like that. I don't mind simple stuff like mascara for a girl, but beyond that it seems kind of pointless to me. Danielle looks just as good with makeup off as she does with it on, so I prefer her to not have it on as that means that I can kiss her without any real 'fake' feeling (any guy that has kissed a girl with makeup on will know what I'm talking about).

EDIT: If people wear makeup for a reason such as being on stage or on film or something then I think that's perfectly fine, though. Just not to look attractive while walking down the streets. Most of the time, it doesn't do a thing. Oh, again, mascara doesn't count. Mascara makes girls eyes look good, I'll admit that.

[Captain VooDoo]

it all depends how you do your makeup,personally i think makeup looks better on guys than on girls.
some makeups that make girls look awful could make a guy look cute.

if a girl wore that makeup theyd look awful.

[Croyles]

If YOU want to wear makeup, go for it. I ain't wearin none.

Same.
I dont really mind, as long as they dont look too feminine, and obviously if you have a sexual preference i just accept that like anything else. But i dont think men should go so far that they get so vain about their looks.

[Mirage]

I've been known to wear makeup, mainly to freak out other guys :p. Some girls thought i was cute though, and I thought it was just okay myself. I just bought some average girls makeup though. Don't wanna blow too much cash on something I'll only use a few times a year. I used to use a concealer when I was younger, cause I had a few very visible zits :(.

I don't mind other boys wearing makeup, really. But I guess I'd be a bit more surprised if a very masculine guy wore it than if a feminine guy did.

I didn't really like it. And it just seems like breeding grounds for bacteria.

I use Maybelline pure makeup (the one with 50% water) and sometimes Covergirl foundation powder. The covergirl stuff is good on the go. I always use foundation and powder together, the powder helps set the foundation. Oh, and I don't know if you've seen the bare minerals commercials but don't get the stuff. It's very messy. And it's average cover up but so much more money.

Anyways, I don't really like eye makeup on guys. Except for Johnny Depp. I don't mind if foundation is used though.

I thought that was a girl before I read the text. Yeah, uh, he looks awful, too, so I don't see the point. =[
