Thanks to macho products such as concealer, powder and, yes, mascara, today's man is taking his grooming to new heights.
Experts say it's only natural that men would turn to makeup to look their best. Grooming, after all, has never been more acceptable. Last year, $4.8 million was spent on male grooming products in the U.S., a 7% increase over the year before and a whopping 42% increase from 2001, according to Euromonitor, a London-based marketing and research company.
And while still not the norm, makeup--including products from
**Clinique,
**Clarins
**Jean Paul Gaultier (their line of mens makeup includes --eyeliner, conclear, lipstick/tint, foundation, face powder, self tanner, etc)
--has become a more common part of the male beauty routine. Walk into megastores like Sephora or Macy's and you'll find a variety of masculine beauty products including bronzer and face masks. Clarin's Self-Tanning Gel for Men, for example, amps up skin color while evening out skin tone.
What do you guys think about this new trend of men wearing makeup???
Me personally i wouldnt want my man covered up in makeup, since i hardly wear any i dont want him all tarted up and looking like a barbie doll!!....conclear is ok for covering up a zit or somthing...but eyeliner, lipstick, foundation, or even mascara is a big NO NO!!

A future where men use make up for grooming? Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. No way, I don't think it will pass. Homosexuals will love it, heterosexuals would hate it and never even think twice about using it. There will always those borderline ppl though, those who use it but deny, or use some or little of it. Regardless, make up for men fails miserably.
However! Grooming as in taking care of nails, hair, skin with regular (and not beauty) products is ok.
n.--i couldn’t agree with you more…when it comes to male grooming I believe in taking care of nails, hair, skin, etc. since its part of hygiene…but makeup is just pushing the envelope!!
:)
LoL
I can c a potential for it seeing the current generation and what they're into
but naturally men wouldn't bother.. not b/c of the look.. it's literally we can't be bothered.. every freakin time u wanna go to work in the mourning u have to reapply ur makeup?
gimme a break.
