Men & MakeUp!!!
Discussion
Every man on tv wears makeup, every man you see in a magazine is wearing makeup and every man in an advertisement is wearing makeup. I hate to break it to you, but it's been going on for quite some time boys..
A little concealer under the eyes hides dark circles/bags and makes you look fresher and younger. It certainly doesn't look like you are wearing makeup in the way most are assuming on here if it's applied well, more like live photoshop. Women use makeup in a completely different manner, more to transform themselves. Granted, some people might get a little carried away with it and take it a little far IMO with eyeliner, but there's nothing wrong with making yourself look a little less haggard and a little more presentable.
All this talk of not moisturising being manly on here makes me laugh, it's simply good basic skin car, keeping it healthy by not letting it dry out. You brush your teeth, you comb/style your hair, you cut your nails, you wash, you shave and you workout to keep in good shape, there's not really a big difference. By the sounds of it, I'm sure there are people on here that take more care of their cars than they do themselves
I exercise daily, drink lots of water, wash my face with a scrub, moisturise and put on sunblock if the weather requires it. It's nothing special and takes barely a few minutes to do. If I suffered dark circles under my eyes, I honestly wouldn't hesitate to use concealer. Even if you have a face for radio, for god's sake take a bit of pride about your presentation gents. 
Here is perfect example of what difference a tiny amount of concealer makes. It might not be for everyone, but I defy you to tell me you could tell without being told.

Exactly. The concept that people in films and television wear make up is no revelation, do you really think anyone is dumb enough not to realise that? Second, mtfu
As for the rest of us, it's just vanity, if you want to preen yourself if front of the mirror and smear gunk all over yourself then go ahead, it's a helpful sign to the rest of us to steer well clear.
Ok, ok, I'll bite. I'm quite manly enough thanks. If you equate something as trivial as covering dark circles under your eyes with your masculinity.. sounds like you need to MTFU dear chap.. 
As for the pictures, the difference is obvious, being deliberately obtuse doesn't make you look clever. If it's not for you, it's not for you. Some people wear deodorant, some wear aftershave, some people get tailored suits, taking pride in ones appearance is vanity, and a degree of vanity is a good thing. Do you not cut your hair, shave, brush your teeth, cut your nails, wipe the crap out of your eyes in the morning?
PH: Being unkempt matters
I knew I should have kept my beak out of this one, it's was only ever going to go one way on here

It starts with make up and then escalates to this????Look, for me there is a level of personal hygiene that everyone should ensure that they meet, that includes keeping yourself clean, non-smelly and reasonably presented. Beyond that there are all sorts of things that you could do that are purely cosmetic and, IMHO, for me, are not worth bothering with. But if you want to do it go ahead, it's your choice.

Totally agree with the hygiene aspect TBH.

Bukkake.... don't google it
Ah, my clean and innocent mind didn't make the connection!Some ingredients of products people do smear on their faces are a bit dodgy though, particularly the use of animal parts in makeup, the cosmetics industry uses a surprising amount of the bits of animals that slaughter houses can't sell as food. That doesn't particularly bother me, but I wonder how many people using makeup have any clue what goes into it.

Is this thread to counter the 'only wash in engine oil and wear tescos jeans' brigade?
Tesco? Ooh, get you Mr Fashion label.Asda boot cut, 32w 34l, £6. Protected under a Dickies boiler suit. Safety boots with steel toe-cap exposed and the sticker peeled off a banana slapped on your back somewhere. Anything else in vanity.
Make up? Blood, mud, grease, oil. Don't forget the snot & biscuit crumbs in goatee.

I don't think this thread is for you fella. Get out now while theres still time. As for the pictures, the difference is obvious, being deliberately obtuse doesn't make you look clever.

Personally I think all of this metro-sexual stuff is just a clever ploy to get inside girls knickers by showing a softer side to their character.
Its all been done in the 80's. Its just kinda coming round again but in a more subtle but lasting everyday form.

So I'll get shot down for this, but do I look like I care.
I met the current 'Mrs' Digger just over a month ago. A couple of weeks ago we were fooling around one evening, and yes, some alcoholic beverages may have been consumed! She proceeded to get me to sit still (not easy), found her bulging bag of makeup gubbins, and proceeded to apply some concealer around the eyes, then threw some powder on. I was quite shocked as to how natural and healthy I now looked.
I now find that most days I slap on the above prior to going out. Unless I tell them, nobody knows I'm wearing it, and whenever I do mention it I get complimented for it.
Anyone else 'man' enough to own up to similar antics??!
not read the thread at all other than the post quoted but IMO you will end up 'outing' yourself in a few years I met the current 'Mrs' Digger just over a month ago.

Wow. I now find that most days I slap on the above prior to going out. Unless I tell them, nobody knows I'm wearing it, and whenever I do mention it I get complimented for it.

They know. And they laugh about it.
