If you find one let me know. I'd like to marry him so I could get him to do my makeup every morning. :)

Of course their are some. Not all are, that's a stereotype. Ahaha. Silly. But yes! I look at tons of makeup blogs and try to meet people working in the beauty industry and stuff and I've 'met' a few straight makeup artists that were men. Theres a blog I think.. 'confessions of a straight makeup artist'. ahah.

There are a lot of straight male makeup artists in the film industry. It's a male dominated industry with very few gay men.

Yea I know of a bunch of straight makeup artists, although most of them tend to specialize in prosthetics and special effects makeup. 

most are. although there are alot of special FX/prosthetics makeup/tv and film makeup artist that are males that are not gay at all! all very very talented 

I know a handful but they work with special affects makeup.

He puts his actual answer on silent, but ends it with "and frankly, I think she's really hot" XD

I remember there being a straight mua in that reality tv competition show that used to be on.

I think Goss Makeup Artist was kidding around. He can say he's straight but that shirt tells a different story.

I am a makeup artist and I am not gay at all. I love females too much! If I was a female, I would be a lesbian.

Not all male makeup artists are gay. Max Factor, Ben Nye and a lot of others who are in and were in the industry for many years are far from being gay.  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001964/

Calling a male makeup artist gay is like calling a female truck driver a dyke. Not true at all. never assume a persons career or job is a sexuality choice.

Kensie L. Well, I can say a lot about you but would any of be true? Don't assume.

Gabbi D. You mean. "HE's really hot." Just because he can d makeup, does not mean he's gay. Also the clothing does not make a person gay. Do you wear jeans? Are you a lez?

Theresa G. True, but there are a lot of female makeup artists who work with special effects too. I am also not going to say they are lesbians either.

Brianna G. You are blind. The makeup industry has many male AND female straight and gay who do beauty, fashion and special FX makeup. I do ALL and I am far from being gay.

Not all females can cook or sew and not all male can fix a car or cut grass. Males can do anything a female can do and females can doo anything a male can do. Stop being closed minded.

I don't drive and can't fix a car to save my life and I also hate sports. I love women as much as a lesbian!

Erica H. Good luck! I have had MANY woman ask me to marry them. I was also married to a female and now have two daughters. I still never did nor do their makeup. Who has time for this? Not me. I can teach them. Do you think a guy would marry a women just to have her cook for him all day?
