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

    -actors
    -clowns
    -Glam Metal artists
    -dead people

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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?

    Ive never seen a "real" man wear make up. Unless...... there is always an unless. It was for TV.

    Guys shouldnt wear eyeliner. It looks silly. Nor should they wear any other type of make up.

    OR Tinted moisturiser!!!

    My opinion on it is: make-up on men.. wtf?

    But I suppose I can see the other side to the coin, from a girls point of view I'm sure It would be great when your periods sync up, saving you a fortune on tampons :D
