Does the stereotype of men needing to look masculine prevent them from looking their best as well?
Will we be judging guys who wear makeup because we think of it as a feminine product, used only by females?
Is it wrong for full grown men to wear say, a foundation so their skin looks smooth and glowing? How about some concealer to hide away those nasty breakouts we might have? Or, what if we wanted to emphasize our eyes with a little eyeliner?
Is it wrong for guys to wear these cosmetics based on what media perceives as acceptable and what's not?
Your mind will probably think that if a guy wears makeup, he has to be gay or homosexual, but why? Does someone wanting to look good, regardless of gender, instantly become judged and looked down upon?
Guys want to look good too. Maybe you'll think that only girls are the ones who are trying, but guys are too. We wake up early enough to get the perfect strands of hair up with gel, the right amount of shaving to be done, and the right outfit. What difference is it from a female? Why can't guys wear makeup and be proud of it?!
What do you think? Is it wrong for guys to wear makeup?
True

I don't see anything wrong with it.
I don't care as long as I don't see him put on make up when I wake up in the morning.
Just like how some guys say that a girl looks good without makeup, I think the guys look good without makeup.
But if putting makeup on is their thing.. by all means... have fun with it.
no more than it would be "wrong" for women to wear make up.
I don't think it's wrong at all. But I don't think I could date a guy that wears makeup. Concealer wouldn't bother me, but eyeliner? No way.
I guess if it's to cover up uneven skin spots or blemishes, fine. But make up like blue eye shadows and purple lipstick....*shudder*
MAKE-UP IS FOR WOMEN AND TRANNY'S!
BOYS LEAVE IT ALONE UNLESS YOUR GOING TO A SHOWING OF THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW!
D:<
or you're having a Heavy Metal party :P
personally, i don't see anything wrong with it... i mean all the actors in tv shows and movies use makeup... so if you want to use them, go right ahead with it... no one can stop you from doing what you want... and if girls don't like you because of it, then they're just ignorant... lol..
but do note that, girls don't like it when guys try to look prettier than them... it's a turn-off... lol...
i don't see anything wrong with it.
I can understand guys wearing make-up for roles in shows and movies, but any other time it's just wrong. Not morally, but fundamentally wrong. I don't even know where to begin stating all my problems with make-up on men. If Zac Efron does it, no guy should unless he's going for that androgenous she-man look.
i dont see anything wrong with it. actors/tv show hosts (anything in front of a camera) guys where make up. and i find a guy to that wears eyeliner sexy.
This exact post was just on Mancouch.
And what the hell does it have to do with Dating(ish)?
Shouldn't this be on Lovelyish? Or has it already been on there?
i wont dayte a persun who wearz maykup i thaynk it looks false & itz also distraktin not to menshun it ruinz the pillow coverz etc
I hate makeup, honestly, I'm a woman and I never, ever wear it. I wouldn't even know how to. I think it's silly to cover up what you actually look like. So I'd absolutely hate it on a guy.
Just my opinion though, not to say others wouldn't feel differently.
I would not date a guy who wore make-up. (unless he was wearing it for halloween or he was in a play). make-up IS a female product and in my opinion, there is nothing masculine about a man who wears make-up.
well makeup is just to enhance your natural features, until we get those cross-dressers who put on eyeliner, lipstick, and blush. guys on TV wear makeup so they don't look like zombies. haha.
I love guys who wear makeup :) my bf wears it from time to time..its yummy!
I don't think it's wrong at all, so long as they don't look prettier than me! ;)
actors for movies ya, but not just on an every day basis, that's just strange.
I really don't think there is a problem with men wearing make up. Women can wear concealer and foundation, why not men? Do they not like having an even skin tone simply because they are men?
Granted, if they start wearing make up to make them look like a woman (see: Dragqueen), then you can start asking questions.
And sometimes, eyeliner on a guy is hot.
@ViciousGrin63@xanga - Heh I put it on the -ish sites that would be relevant to this. Mancouch because this is about guys, Lovelyish because it's for beauty products/cosmetics and Datingish to see if girls would find a guy in make-up attractive.
That would explain the multiple appearances :)
Ooh gurl zac is so pretty.
@ViciousGrin63@xanga - I think it's been on Lovelyish also o.0
I like my men makeup-free unless well, you're a model or have really bad acne. lol. But yehhh, the idea of seeing makeup on him freaks me out.
haha. Bye bye make up for actors if it's wrong for guys to wear make up.
Not too much..
I might think it's weird.
