Hope they love you then, too (whether your a man, woman, gay, straight ...etc)
There are a couple lines designed exclusively for men:

A Lot of men where bronzers or selftaner with color which is very close to foundation to give a healthy look.

EVERY MAN you see on tv , news, programs, movies wears make up. Many get use to it and incorporate it into daily use.

A lof of professional corporate men an men in fashion are now starting to use foundation

It is REQUIRED for any and everyone who is in front of the camera. The studio lights create "hotspots" that must be eliminated, so studio makeup artists use it for all in front of the camera. Its a required part of the job.

I am a professional corporate man and have been for many years and have NEVER seen any of my peers wear makeup. This is in the banking/securities/investment field. Men in fashion? Duh. They are all gay, so of course they would use makeup.

Neither do I but is it possible that it's subtle enough not to be noticed?

If you want to see some scary television guy makeup tune in "The Ed Show" on MSNBC in high definition.

Also...today...what people don't realize...is for magazine covers...and with digital technology...many celebs, or just people sending photos use what I call 'digital make-up'....

That would be various photo shop type programs that allow one to smooth over skin, fix blemishes ect ect....

If you appear on a magazine cover, it's almost a must today...whether male or female...

But in a way it creates standards in beauty that can't be matched in real life, accept by a few...

Tutorial on it:


HOW TO: MEN'S MAKEUP - YouTube

It just looks polished to me. Not like a girl's makeup in the least.

It's hard to judge from a video, because he might look "made up" in person, but I think this looks OK. I can't picture my husband wearing it, but objectively I can't really fault a guy for wanting to look like he has healthier skin or more defined features--that's the same thing that I want. A man wanting noticeable stubble is not really different from a woman wanting to look like she has plumper lips--we're just accentuating our masculinity or femininity.

I don't think I would like visible makeup on a man, and I think lipstick, eyeliner, eyeshadow, and rouge/blush make a man look feminine. At the same time, it's unfortunate that men have to deal with splotchy skin, blemishes, large pores, shiny skin, or other imperfections that can be minimized for many people with only a little intervention.

The last time I went on camera, the makeup lady told me I had beautiful skin and that I needed next to no makeup. I was happy to hear that.
