Imagine If Guys Wore Make-Up

That's interesting. Depends on the animal I guess because some animals the male really doesn't play a big part of bringing up the youngs.

 

i think it's more like everyone in that profession is more middle aged than they're made to look. the 20-somethings playing teenagers is a famous phenomena, but there's a lot of old characters played by middle aged people in makeup too.

how would you know if you had seen it?

it can't really decide, but there is a lot of clothing that is specifically designed to fit a particular gender's body shape. bras are the obvious example, jock straps seem pretty one-gendered too. even tight jeans will probably fit pretty awkwardly if you put them on most people of the wrong gender.

 

Even children wear make-up in the industry, even in local productions, it's necessary. It's the lighting on stage and on film that requires this. If you look at yourself close-up and blown-up or from very far away with stage lighting, it looks very different. Also older people playing younger people is more that those people look younger and that is really sought after in the entertainment industry. They're also often very short. I know I got a lot of attention because of this very fact. I'm very small, my face also looks young. I could play a 12 year old and I'm over 30. That isn't likely to happen in film, but it could easily happen on stage or print...and on film I could easily play a teenager. Director's like that because they are easier to deal with and often understand a role better than a younger person playing the same role.

 

imagine if murder was legal..

 

It is if you can get away with it

imagine if people weren't retarded enough to invent ignorant excuses for prejudice, like those based on gender, which aren't even the same from one culture to another.

 

What would it be called?
Gaykeup?

In the 1980s some types of (ahem) "male" music followers had makeup.
Likewise today with some weirdo rockers and their eyeliner shit.

Its extremely weird.

 

The Wodaabe tribe in Africa are like that. The men get dressed up with beads, feathers, and makeup, etc. Then they line up and do some dancing
and singing to attract a wife (or even just a date).

The Women then inspect them for the best makeup, frills, whitest teeth, biggest eyes, etc. Just like birds do in nature.

 

I love drag so much. This shit is fucking ART.

That said, I LOVE making a man up in the bedroom. It's not my absolute favorite thing, but it's up there. With my last boyfriend, I liked to give him a classic smokey eye, black mascara and a red lip. Yum.

I will admit he might have looked kind of silly to an outsider as he had dirty blonde, curly hair and a beard at the time, lol. But I liked the contrast.

 

I love wearing makeup. Usually I just do eyeliner and lipstick but when I can I'll go all out. I'm fucking beautiful.

 

The only time I really feel good about myself is when I'm dressed up and have my makeup did. My sisters always did me up when I was little and told me how pretty I was. I had bad self esteem issues cuz the girls would tell me I was ugly and gave me shit for being fat. It helped so much and I'm glad my wife is okay with it. She told be I'm beautiful shortly after we started dating and it made me so happy I wanted to cry. Little things make a huge difference.

 

What if everyone just did what they wanted and nobody thought it was noteworthy?

 

Isn't this the definition of chaos...

 

I'll rephrase:

What if everyone just did their own thing, without harming anyone else, and no one found it noteworthy?

 

Not sure, there's always someone that finds other people doing their own thing noteworthy (probably because it often is ). I find guys with make up noteworthy wether I like it or not (so far i'm indifferent, just not used to it). I wouldn't make a problem of it because I find it noteworthy

 

I think times and views are changing. There are far more products that are male targeted from moisturizers to hair products.to tanning and manicures. If a man wishes to wear makeup, there really should not be an issue.

 

I've only noticed them wearing Khol, never full on lipstick.

Khol around the eyes, like the actor on Diary of a Wimpy kid.

 

One of my gay, male friends wears a tinted lip moisturizer. He might think it looks natural but it looks like lipstick to me. That's all I've ever seen that particular man wear.
