  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

Have you ever worn makeup?

Yes, and still do.

But not in a beauty sort of way.

When I was a teen with terrible acne, my neighbor, a sort of foster mom, connected me with her cosmetics lady. She sold me a yellow concealer, and I had it for almost 30 years, it was used so sparingly. But, it went a long way toward blunting the appearance of red spots on my face, and helped immensely restore some sense of dignity.

People really treat you differently when you have visible signs of disease or deformity. I just wanted to pass for normal.

I still have intermittent problems with my skin, so still use something from time to time. But I don't use anything to mask age, like using anything under my eyes or dong anything other than blocking red spots.
 
Only if cherry lip balm counts.:)

I have no problem with men using makeup for any reason, not just drag.

But, they should keep in mind that eventually, like a bald man's hat or hairpiece, a nearsighted man's contact lenses, a toothless man's choppers, or even pouch enhancing underwear, it will have to come off--- hopefully by their choice.:)

Generally speaking, most people don't much care for even a little deception.
 
I just up for a drag show that the small university that I worked for in Westerville Ohio had them twice a year during the school year. I wasn't part of the show, but we were asked to dress up. So there's a picture of me with the student it was in the shower and did drag and downtown Columbus to make money. He has a red wig on and I have the blonde wig that I got for my mom. My partner is my hair and my make up he did the make up amazing he did transform me I have had make up on

I'm not sure that's true.

Also, I don't know if deception is an accurate description of makeup. It's more like a convention, an accepted cultural practice, which varies widely across the planet. No one hitting on a pretty woman imagines her to not be wearing makeup in most cases. And, if people are using it for acne, etc.,. I'm pretty certain the vast majority of observers would rather see it mitigated than to see the acne.

Plenty of men want their wives to look nice, and there are too many comedian monologues including jokes about women appearing without makeup to count.

The number of women, of people, who have perfect skin is incredibly few. I believe most people understand and accept that people, women in particular, want to look nice, and if blemishes, age spots, scars, or illness makes them self-conscious, then we accepts cosmetic intervention.

There are, of course, a whole range of what that means. Some people hate face paint, and particularly hate using a foundation and an entire makeover to mask the entire face and neck. Others seem to enjoy the over-the-top look.

In an era in which people tint their hair purple, I'd hardly think the trend is away from cosmetics.

Friend, I love your sharing. But, I think yo have a couple of typos in there you want to correct for clarity, else we all want to see the shower pics.
 
@ plenty of men want

Plenty of men want their wives to look like a fuck trophy.

And, plenty of men are attracted to women who paint themselves up to let the world know that they are an easy fuck.
 
Never have, but I have been interested in trying some.

I have a skin issue that bothers me. Little bumps grow over my skin pores on my face. They are not that noticeable, but they make me self conscious.

Yes, but that doesn't really cover the majority of makeup use by most women. Some do adopt that look when young or bar-hopping, but the majority do not whore up the style and try to look like inflatable sex toys. Most women simply enhance their features and mask their flaws, especially as age takes its toll.

Not too many mature married wome looking like fuck trophies. Of course, celebrity egos like Donald Trump are prominent, but their example isn't the norm.

Ok, I didn't watch the video earlier, so I doubled back. Apart from the appalling equivocation and rationalizing away the desire to seduce a neighbor's boyfriend as a trophy, I was curious to what effect the subject was attempting and achieving with makeup, so I took a still of him at the beginning, and another at the end. Here they are, side by side:

Makeover.JPG

My observations:

He has a theatrical makeup approach to his use, perhaps even a professional cosmetologist's background. But, his goals seem frankly to feminize his face.

His pupils appear to be covered in contact lenses that create a surreal gaze. He shapes his eybrows noticeably. He applied mascara to further feminize his eyes. some men DO have longer lashes withotu looking feminine, but his use of mascara added a feminine aspect to him.

His various ointments and powders paved over a ruddy, but not noticeable complexion by lightening it to give him a "dayglow" appearance, matting the shine and then restoring blush to the cheeks to imitate youth and vitality. His cosmetics didn't make him more attractive unless softer and more feminine equals attractive.

He also seems riddled with incongruity, not only in his attempts to justify outing a closeted bisexual or gay man, but in his obsession with facial "beauty" while ignoring hair. His haircut looks like it was a product of Briggs & Stratton, and his beard copied from a Minnesotan batchelor farmer. To top it off, his thumbnail looks dirty, not bruised.

One would think the obsession would extend beyond the face.
 
No. Not feminine, nor masculine. I have a rather basic facial routine to look ok (cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, occassional gentle scrub or mask).
 
I've done bronzer or light guyliner a few times, but I hate the way bronzer transfers to other surfaces with the lightest touch.

I've done stage makeup for several shows, and I've done drag countless times.
 
Doesn't makeup make your face feel dirty?

I'm a bit of a clean freak, so maybe it's just me. I think it would drive me insane(r).

I can only speak for myself here, but no. Using it in light spot treatment, you don't even know you're wearing it, feeling-wise.

Remember, that's been an advertizing angle for decades now to women, "you'll forget you're wearing it," and similar tag lines.

And, let people look at spots on your face noticeably, or avoid looking at your face as you work with them, and you'll find quickly why a man would use a concealer.
