Crossover post with the Beauty Thread:

Some fans took to the comments to praise Rodriguez for helping to normalize the idea of men wearing makeup: "I don’t see anything wrong with men doing their thing to look good," one fan said. Another added, "Looking goood," and yet others declared, "Thats awesome!" and "I love it! Normalize men wearing a little something make’m look hotter!!!"



Others, though, were not at all excited about the idea. "When did men stop being men ?" someone asked, with another adding, "Make up for man whats next?" 

Despite the negative comments, men wearing makeup has been moving into the mainstream for several years now. In 2019, of over 2,000 men surveyed by Morning Consult, 30 percent of men ages 18 to 29 said they would be open to trying makeup, while another 30 percent of men ages 30 to 44 said they were also open to it. Another survey from the same year found that the top three most popular cosmetic products among men were lip balm, blemish concealer and foundation.

Personally I don't see lip balm as makeup. Chapstick isn't the same as the Anastasia Modern Renaissance eye palette. Keeping your lips moisturized and flake free is an important part of keeping healthy, as well as keeping the person you kiss happy too.

Tell me all about it, I was in the Supermarket this morning and just a tiny section of men's stuff, the rest of the aisle, 20x the area was for women and those who so identify.

 

How about some equality?

Biden seems to prefer sniffing it than wearing it.
