Default Guy's wearing make up now?

What do you think about it.
Zac Efron and Pete Wentz are two obvious make-up wearers; guys are even doing it at school.

Is it a new trend now or what?

I wear the one that is your skin color sometimes...and I wore eye liner once and next week I am going to wear face paint. I think anyone should be able to do what they want with their bodies... and other people "if it's not cute put it on mute"

I will occassionally wear make-up. I don't see anything wrong with it. I mean not tons of it as to where you would look like a prostitute or something, but some is fine to me.

I don't see anything wrong with guys wearing makeup. In fact, I don't understand why girls are basically expected to wear makeup, but guys 'aren't supposed to'. :P I'll never understand gender stereotypes.

Lmao. I agree. I don't wear any of it myself, it isn't my style but if it's one thing that's beneficial from being LGBT is that you learn not to judge anyone for anything. I'm totally fine for those guys who want to wear make up it doesn't bother me in the least.

I don't wear makeup at all, and I never plan to - I see it as one of the most superficial creations in the world, but I don't care if other guys wear it. Some people down here hate it when guys wear eyeliner, which really doesn't happen too often, but I don't see what the problem is.

I don't bother, ever. Once I had to wear make up for a ballet recital (I was forced to take ballet, worst year of my life) and it was so horrible! It can look great on other people though! I have a friend who has been ASKED to work at the mac (?) store here, the only reason why she can't is that she's too young. For the day of silence last year (she's not gay, unfortunately, but really cool) she had the red, orange, and yellow on the top and blue, green, and purple on the bottom and it was SO COOL, it looked amazing.
I have no problem with guys wearing make up.

Were you referring to straight guys? If so, I haven't seen any around here, I think it looks cute on a (gay) guy.

I don't, but I know some who do. Personally, as long as it isn't like Lipstick, I'm fine with it when guys do. =P

Default Re: Guy's wearing make up now?

I don't like makeup.. Both on girls and guys. Too superficial.

Of course, that being said, I don't mind certain stuff on each gender. Like on women I reckon it looks nice when you have maybe a bit of lipstick and blush or something, but when people glob it all over their face I get sick.

Same applies for guys, but I only like small things, lipstick/eyeliner/stuff like that I don't like on a man. Even then, I preffer guys who don't wear any makeup at all.

^_^ Each to their own.

Meh... Personally I don't like the idea of guys wearing makeup... Just seems too... un-guy-y (but that's just my old conservative side speaking up).

Each to his own anyway. It's a whole new world of diversity!

To each their own, I just know at my school a guy wearing makeup wouldn't survive past 3rd period. Literally.

My sentiments exactly. I think make-up can be good or bad, it's just personal choice.
