Yes sir! If woman can wear makeup to enhance their natural beauty, why not a man? Adam lambert is a perfect example, an extremely attractive man made even more attractive by a little eyeliner :)

Something that has been brought up is that men wearing makeup is not manly. I would like to ask how. Is taking care of your appearance a feminine thing? Are only women expected to put effort into their appearance? Are only women expected to be flawless and men only expected to look bad because it's 'more manly'? At one point, wearing pants was also considered manly and not socially acceptable for women. How many of us own pants today? This is the same with makeup.

What makes things 'wrong' or 'weird' is our biased perception. Who are we to tell others what they 'should' do? If a man wants to wear no makeup, a little bit, or a lot, that's no one's choice but his.

So whether he wants to have bright pink lipstick and glittery eyebrows or no makeup at all, as long as he's happy, who are we to judge?

Yes, anyone should, including men! From barely there, to drag fabulous and everything in between. Makeup is great for any person, regardless of how they identify themselves, and it should be made available to anyone that is interested.

In a previous post I had mentioned that with my hubby's sun damage and wearing a goatee I wouldn't dare let him wear make-up but for years I've always asked him to let me apply polish on his toes (he has such great looking toes/feet) and a week ago he actually said YES! That same day that I applied it we went to a minor league baseball game and he flaunted them in his flip flops with no shame whatsoever. And when people made cracks about it he would turn around and say that he did it for his wife. He's still wearing it too. A nice deep blue from OPI. He's eyeing hot pink as his next color in honor of his grandmother who died of breast cancer....so yes....men can wear cosmetics...nail polish included. :)

Absolutely! I think anybody has the right to express themselves and I for one would fully support individualism. It's what makes us unique :)

Well it all depends.. If they're going somewhere special like a party or wedding or whatever or a night out with a girl and they have blemishes, a bit of concealer won't hurt! And make sure the eyebrows are groomed and trimmed as well as any nose hairs lol

Concelar is okay but I wouldnt date a guy that wore eyeshadow and stuff. Thats my opinion and I dont care what other people say, I like men not girls.

It doesn't really matter who is wearing makeup. Anyone can wear what they want without anyone being judgmental. It is whatever makes you feel beautiful and comfortable with yourself.

If he wants to then he can. I had a teacher that wore make up daily and has a make up line geared to men and you couldn't even tell that he had any on.
It's a personal preference but if someone wants to they should feel confident to do what makes them happy.

I actual like a guys to where makeup and look good I mean mascara and and foundation :) a more natural look :) everyone needs to calm down :) did you know that makeup was originally make for men back in Egypt?? No? I didn't think so :) so YES I do think lots of men should where foundation to look their best just as girls do :) for you to say "NO that's so fag or gay" is such a "American" way of looking at the world :) be OPEN minded person and NOT judgement BITCH :) SO there for I would not mind if men wore makeup at the slights :)
