| What do you think about men's make-up and cosmetics? Men are now wanting to look better than ever and aren't afraid to take a little help from the likes of L'Oreal, YSL and even Superdrug. But is it OK for men to be seen to be wearing make-up? Is there still a "gay" stigma attached to these men and would you use these products to make you look better?! |

| That's a very interesting question. Personally, I love me a bit of Adam Lambert. However, if I had to put up with my husband slapping the same amount of makeup on his face that I do, I think I'd go mad! I understand that more and more men are into grooming - but I kind of like a guy to be a bit rough around the edges - and I definitely don't want him to be prettier than me! |

| If a guy is young, he might look cute with eyeliner. Older than 30, no makeup. Just good skin care, botox and plastic surgery if he needs it. |

I'm all for a little enhancement or covering up, but I'm not a fan of obvious makeup on men, perhaps with the exception of a little eyeliner.
For me, I will use a brow gel (or clear mascara) on my lashes to make them a little more defined from time-to-time. I also occasionally use a little concealer and a highlighter (YSL Touche Eclat). A little powder to take care of shine (which doesn't happen with me much anymore) doesn't go astray either.
I prefer (yes, I'm gay for those who didn't know! lol) a man to look like a man. A little rouch around the edges as Keliu said never goes astray! I'm not a huge fan of loads of makeup on ladies either though!
I don't think there's much of a "gay stigma" associated with men who use makeup these days. |

Absolutely agree, Josh! 
But yes, under-30 men who can get away with it look great in guyliner and also dark coloured nail varnish. Older than that, doesn't tend to look so good - unless they're rock stars or free spirits or something. |

| Yea, I agree with Josh that men's makeup is for enhancement and covering up. Mainly concealor and a bit foundation base to make them look brighter. |

There is no way my DH would ever wear "makeup". Once he let me dab on concealer for a particularly bad skin eruption he had - and his skin is gorgeous, never broke out at all. I wish I had his skin! But this break-out really bothered him. I commented, "Now you know how I feel on a daily basis", and promptly pulled out the concealer and camouflaged it somewhat. He didn't complain.
It's all I can do to get him to wear sunscreen in the warmer months while he's sailing or outside in the sun for long periods of time. I think DH does it to humor me, but also to set a good example for DS, who has inherited my pinky-pale skin and absolutely requires sunscreen, even on his face going to school. He will burn in fifteen minutes on the playground.
I'm good friends with the younger brother of a grade school classmate of mine. I've known him since he was four years old. He's very athletic, swims and runs along the lake here even in frigid weather. He's very handsome and rugged in a blonde-blue-eyed way even now, at 46. But I cringe at the sun and weather damage to his face and neck. I've been nagging him to wear sunscreen for years, to no avail.
Men wearing obvious makeup is icky to me. I like men to look like men. But if a guy were to wear a tinted sunscreen or moisturizer, that would be fine with me! DS is almost eleven now, and I'm already trying to inculcate healthy skincare habits in him. I don't see anything vain in protecting your skin from the elements.
Lol Keliu - I don't want the guys in my life to be more vain than I am!  |

| Nah...not my man. Gay guys? sure...I get it. But I would never ever be attracted to a man who plucked or waxed..or wore foundation! YUCK. I like real men with scars..stubble...imperfect noses..and weathered faces. The good ole ..."I don't give a damn and still look sexy!" That's the guy I want. lol |
