    I just found this forum and decided to give it a try.
    I am a guy and probably like most people a mix of masculine and feminine.
    I do not want to be a woman, but I enjoy wearing makeup, and as I get more confident with make up, I wear it every day, including to work. It evens out my face and I enjoy trying out different looks.
    Usually to work I just use 3 in 1 foundation after moisturising and also mascara, sometimes a little eye shadow. I don't know if anyone even notices, because it is not that obvious.
    At times I also wear lipstick, blusher, highlighter & setting powder.

    I don't really care if it is or not, but is this "normal"? I have always liked makeup, but when I was young I would be scared in case anyone caught me wearing it. Now I don't really care.

    So, this is my main thing in this area. Wearing makeup as a man. I know it is not the taboo it used to be, but I would be interested in how people feel about men wearing makeup & how much you think it is accepted in society today.
    Love
