This one is mainly for the ladies of the site but it can be for the gents too!
What do you girls think about straight men wearing makeup?
From some concealer or foundation, to guyliner etc. (and oh how i hate the word guyliner lol)
So do you girls think guys should take more pride in looking good?
Or should they stay rough around the edges? lol

It's really a subjective matter for me... but it all comes down to how your personality is, and if you're comfortable and confident with your own appearance. I think there are some guys that look fantastic w/ liner and makeup on - some... not so much. It all depends on how you carry yourself and if you do it for yourself, and not to make others happy. =)

Personally, I am attracted to guys that are a little rough around the edges. I like to be the girly girl and I would be completely turned off if I was having to share my concealer with my spouse! Now, as far as men wearing makeup... if it makes them happy and provides them with confidence then why not?

I don't really mind it, as long as it's minimal and not too in-your-face. We all have the right to want to look good!
Although I have to say that not ALL guys can pull off eyeliner. Concealer and foundation is fine by me...but if he takes longer than me to get ready, then that's a big NO. LOL.

I think its cool! If the guy has a rocker look its actually pretty hot! If you're straight makeup won't change that! Either way, it's cool to just be you!

I have no issues with any male figure wanting to wear makeup. It is totally their choice, and sometimes, for esthetic purposes it might actually be needed (in the case of Smashley's boyfriend for example).
As for my man, I want him natural, and completely devoid of any type of makeup whatsoever. Deodorant and cologne only please!

I can relate to your boyfriend Smashley, I started with concealer, covering psoriasis and minor acne, but I found my love for it soon after lol!

I'm fine with it as long as it looks natural. I think it's totally possible to care about your looks AND be a lil' rough around the edges. Incessant smoothness can be a tad tiresome after a while, no?
I know a few guys who wear concealer to cover their spots and undereye circles. The eyeliner thing totally depends on the individual. If you can pull it off, why not?
Heck, I have a guy friend who wears a touch of eyeshadow so that his eyes stand out more. He says "the ladies like it". To which I reply, "Whatever cranks your tractor, buddy. As long as you stay out of my make-up stash." I've seen him rummaging around in there and I don't like it.

I don't mind it. I don't think I've seen any of my guy friends wear makeup.

Wearing makeup and sexuality are mutually exclusive in my mind.
I don't have a problem with men in makeup, I've learned plenty from many of those who choose to do so. LOL
I think the level of personal care comes down to the individual in question. Everyone has their own style and if a guy can integrate makeup into that, why not? Not to mention, I know the feelings that come along with angsty skin - so it'd be obnoxiously hypocritical to deny the balm of skin care/cosmetics to someone else.
I've seen plenty of guys that I feel could have used a lesson (or three) because let's face it, chapped lips and ashy skin isn't cute on anyone. >_>

As long as you have the confidence to pull off whatever look you are going for you can rock whatever look you want. :)
If people assume you are gay because you put on make-up and don't actually talk to you, then do you really want to talk to them anyway?
