    What's your view on men wearing make-up?

    When I was in college the other day some dude had more slap on than most of the girls in here.

    I'm of the view that make-up is very feminine. I might be old fashioned saying that but I don't have a massive problem with it. Just think it's very feminine.

    Unless they're in front of a camera or in drag it just looks silly.

    Make up is for girls.
    Just like pink clothing is for girls.


    There is no grey area here, men..stop turning into fúcking women.
    It's sickening at this stage.

    Too many of these threads:

    Men who wear make up - ghey

    Men who cry - ghey*

    Men who are feminine - ghey



    *(except if kicked in nuts)

    Depends on the makeup, I suppose. Lipstick, blue eyeshadow, nail varnish, that sorta thing, hopefully that's not what he was wearing. Heavy eyeliner, whiteface, Goth stuff like that? That's fine, not particularly effeminate in my book unless it's trying to be.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,555 ✭✭✭Gillington


    Its passable on TV,in real life I would shun any of my mates if they wore it!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 138 ✭✭iamthe43


    Make up is for girls, and any guy wearing it just looks stupid, but each to their own.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 84 ✭✭el oh el


    no, just no! NO!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,399 ✭✭✭Bonito


    As it says in the option on the pole















    WTF????

    What happens if a group of wimminz kick him in the nuts then while he's on the ground crying they put non waterproof mascara on him?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,534 ✭✭✭SV


    who the fúck voted 'yay' ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,698 ✭✭✭Risteard


    I'd find it weird if a guy was wearing make-up, unless as was mentioned it was some goth thing or whatever but each to their own. If they want to wear it, leave 'em off, I still find it unusual though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,349 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    Men do not wear makeup. Human males may, but they're not men.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,092 ✭✭✭Le King


    I mean girls make-up.

    Mean Girls Make-Up?

    Is that a Lindsey Lohan line or something?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,345 ✭✭✭Dunjohn


    Well then, I'd be wondering. What makeup, specifically?

    I'm not gonna shout "gay" because even the gay guys I know in real life don't wear makeup, at least in the normal course of the day.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 80 ✭✭SubrbanOblivion


    Some guys used to wear eyeliner in the 80's and I've never thought it looked bad.

    I prefer to be the one in the relationship wearing the makeup though, I'd hate to have to fight my man for my eyeliner! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,221 ✭✭✭BluesBerry


    I know a man that has a scar very red nasty one on his face and he is very self conscious and he wears this specialized make up to cover it up it makes him feel better facing the public with this and not having people stare at him

    OP the person you were referring to could have had the same or a port wine birthmark and feels the need to cover it up


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 873 ✭✭✭InKonspikuou2


    I voted yes because i like to feel sexy

    Guyliner is very sexy.

    Couldn't give a crap.

    Bizarre really that people bother getting their knickers in a twist about what's on someone else's face.

    it's a pity they're probably gay then.

    Men wearing make up are either..

    The gay in the village

    or

    Getting ready to go on stage.


    If they are neither of the above then they are emo.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,783 ✭✭✭Hank_Jones


    I voted WTF men wear make up?

    That's generally because I've never seen a guy wearing make up, at least not to the best of my knowledge.

    Are people really that insecure that a guy wearing make up is making you all uncomfortable?

    Don't think it would bother me, nobody is forcing me to wear it.

    I've seen males wearing make up before, only a bit of foundation so it seemed, bit weird but in this day and age . . .

    Personally, I don't understand the trend but I don't scoff at those who do. If that is how they want to look then power to them. There were loads of people/idiots who presumed I was some weirdo .because I was a guy with long hair until they talked to me and I confirmed I was a weirdo (but that is beside the point):o

    A nice long term in the army would sort that lot out.

    I voted no because I barely even like make up on women. I like the natural look :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,493 ✭✭✭DazMarz


    The only men who should wear make up:

    -actors
    -clowns
    -Glam Metal artists
    -dead people

    apart from that... just, no. WTF?!?! NO!!!:eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,252 ✭✭✭Dr. Baltar


    One of my friends (he's straight, yes seriously, no I mean it, oh because I've seen him with girls and stuff, no he's not bi, he's straight) wears make-up and it doesn't bother me.

    Unless it's 1972 and you're the bass player with Sweet, then no.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,812 ✭✭✭Precious flower


    I'm not all for guys wearing make-up though I think the names for them are quite funny e.g guyliner! I'm more interested in the Colin Farrell and Johnny Depp types!;)

    No as people have been saying makeup is for women. I don`t have any problem with men wearing it,let them do what they want but its very wrong imo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 64 ✭✭tomdeere

    It's called homosexuality, but you shouldn't judge him for it. That would be very wrong of you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,893 ✭✭✭Davidius


    I'm not going to stop somebody if they're wearing and it's great that they feel they can. However I still think that really falls within the realms of "What the ****?". I simply cannot see why a man would do that.

    It seems like you are the one doing the judging here. Men have worn make-up for centuries, beginning with the Egyptians and though it has been sometimes unfashionable & "not the norm", it still continues to today.

    I wear foundation - not a heavy one, so it's not even noticable, but it does cover up any redness in the skin & gives my skin a more toned appearance. I'm not gay, but I'm comfortable enough with my sexuality as to not give a toss what people think about how I dress or what I do to 'preen' myself. I also have manicures.. I like to look after myself & I look good because of it.

    I understand the 'macho' reaction however to male make up - it reminds me of a story that David Bowie told about how his Spiders from Mars tour, where he started wearing feminine / androgynous make-up & costumes. The band he played with were, in his words, "hard, northern types - brickies with guitars", so trying to persuade them to 'glam up', wasn't easy, until they realised that he was the one getting all the attention from the female fans & groupies. After that, it wasn't hard to get them to put on a bit of slap.

    You can call male make up gay, or even say that wearing pink is just for girls, but what are you really saying.. that you are a real man, or just a prude?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,971 ✭✭✭we'llallhavetea_old


    i dont think i've ever seen a man wearing make up in real life.

    i wouldn't date a man that wears make up. i like manly men.
