No. Male skin is different from female skin. I also think that men have the job market cornered in so many areas, that they do not need to corner the market in products for women, too. I'm sure women could use those jobs, and they would be better at it, since they are female.
Male fashion designers don't make sense to me, either. They don't have the natural ability to design for a female body, since their body is so different. And same thing for female designers of male wear. Not that they can't do a good job. But I think women do better. Men have to be trained to know certain things, like not making the hips look larger and such.
Jenner takes hormones, and has had facial laser and such done, so his skin is not male like it was before, but it is not like naturally female skin, since his skin was formed male. His top layer is thicker, and he has less fat under the skin. He has more collagen in his skin, because it's male skin. It's different. His cosmetics would be for a man who is trying to look more feminine/female, which is not the experience for females, who already look female. They use cosmetics to make the eyes look more prominent (men already have thicker lashes and brows, etc.), and such. Makes no sense.
Not sure of the thicker lashes part but Brooke Shields and Audry Hepburn used to have rather thick brows. When I was much younger, I did as well.
This early AM, I had seen an ad for makeup that was supposed to superbly cover all kinds of facial scars and blemishes, even tattoos. At this time, unfortunately, I can not recall the name of this product. It could have been advertised by both a male and a female and/or the product developed by either one for all I know.
I mean there is more and more men starting to use make up due to gay community. It's perfectly normal that now we have men who are brand ambassadors. I would buy make up from a man, if I saw that he actually knows what he's talking about.
i don't care either way. If it looks good and it's a product i'm interested in, i'll buy it. Don't care if it's a man or woman being used as the advertisement.
This thread reminds me of an old friend. About 15 years ago we were sitting in an airport bar and a guy walked in wearing eye liner and I suppose other make up. If not for the eye liner I would not have noticed but my friend, who is a gay man looked at me and with complete sincerity said, "I respect a man who knows how to wear make up". I choked on my drink I was laughing so hard but, he was dead serious. Back then, you didn't see a lot of men wearing make up. Today, I imagine there is quire a market for it.
I don't really use make up so it doesn't effect me. I see many make up brands are using men to sell make up. Like Bruce Jenner. Would you want to use make up that used men as models/spokesperson?
Applying make up properly and making it look natural or however you want it to look is an art. Even if the guy making/selling/applying it doesn't use it doesn't mean he isn't an artist with it. Do you think Tiger Woods golf coach is a better golfer than he was (when Tiger was good)?
I think we will have made a lot of progress on the whole "gender" thing if we get to a pint where straight men can wear makeup too and no one will wonder if he is gay!
