Makeup? - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

This one applies to just my LGBT brothers here...I am curious how many of you wear makeup regularly? I wear only blush (rather a lot of it though

). Considering how much of it I put on, Chapstick could also be considered makeup in my case

. But in all seriousness, I am curious.

I don't wear makeup...well chapstick, but I only use a normal ammount of it, I don't like when my lips are too shiny

ErikPinkLovesU · 24th Mar 2008, 08:02 AM

make up: a shield for my ugliness

The only makeup I wear is chapstick (

) and sometimes a bit of toner if I have bags under my eyes.

sexyalex · 24th Mar 2008, 10:37 AM

i wear makeup very regualrly but not many can tell cuz i put it on very light.

1. airbrush foundation

2. a hint of vanilla toner

3. eyeliner (liquid and dry....QueenColelction Volume line is great*it's waterproof too

*)

4. Mascara (DiorShow is ok, i use it)

5. lipgloss

(chapstick occasionaly. lipglosses scratch after awhile)

btw, VivaMac or Revlon FTW

Covergirl is ok too but they got allot of sented stuff so i don't use their products much.

sounds interesting

i dont wear makeup myself but have been always amazed at what they can do.

I do wear make-up every now and then but not too often. When I do I wear eyeliner, blush, foundation, eyeshadow... sounds like a lot I know. Lol.

jroakwood · 24th Mar 2008, 02:09 PM

i dont wear makeup.
and honestly, i dont think i could be with a guy who did.

Wander · 24th Mar 2008, 03:03 PM

No, I don't wear any kind of makeup, and I don't really want to. Superficiality annoys me too much, even in the smallest doses.

24th Mar 2008, 03:18 PM

I don't wear makeup. Though I might wear some if I have a huge random pimple in the middle of my face (to hide it) before going to work, but otherwise... no.

MonsieurGodiva · 24th Mar 2008, 03:27 PM

I'm too broke to run out and buy a ton of cosmetics, hence the reason why I never wear any.

Paul_UK · 24th Mar 2008, 03:30 PM

I don't wear any makeup.

I think I have a confession to make....lol
In that case, I do wear some, too

CelebrityHead · 24th Mar 2008, 05:24 PM

I sometimes wear a little bit of foundation to hide my acne if it flares up. But that's it really - if you don't count the drawn-on moustaches I've put on my face for various fancy dress occasions.

young92 · 24th Mar 2008, 06:34 PM

i dont really wear make up.
except chapstick and some concealer for when i get acne. but thats pretty much it.

Kenko · 24th Mar 2008, 06:57 PM

I don't.

Micah · 24th Mar 2008, 09:01 PM

It's pretty acceptable for a guy to wear make up these days, particularly with the new ranges of make up for guys available

The difference between male make up and female make up is usually the level of subtly applied. But male-makeup is becomign more part of fashion trends.

For example, in the indie/emo/goth/punk/alternative groups its far more acceptable and fashionable to wear eyeliner/eyeshadow/mascara.

While a preppy sort of guy might just have a light layer of foundation or tan to make his skin look brighter/more even.

24th Mar 2008, 09:04 PM

Just Chapstick for me

SadConfusedBandGeek · 24th Mar 2008, 09:43 PM

I normally dont wear eyeliner ever, because I'm too lazy, and I already have to spend 15 minutes straightening my hair in the morning.

But when I am bored I will put on eyeliner and then take it off, so i get a little bit of a black fade under my eyes and it looks sweet =D

But my eyelashes are really long and my face already looks like I wear some make up so I'm good

24th Mar 2008, 10:11 PM

No makeup for me, I don't see the point unless it's for pimples or whatever etc.
