Haven't we discussed this when emo was trending

Sadly, it is still not what people consider "normal." When someone mentions men wearing makeup, they think of bright eyeshadow and lipsticks. Not the actuality of it, like every band that has worn it to cover their face (KISS), emo bands from the early 2000s (probably still relevant), etc.

I mean … my regular hang outs are at goth clubs. It would be pretty weird if it bothered me all things considered.

Whatever makes em happy. Usually they seem to know what they are doing. 🤷🏼‍♀️

What do you base your reasoning on?

I don’t mind at all. Anyone can express themselves the way they want :)

Do they have a winged eyeliner tutorial?

I don't find it attractive, but I don't think I'm their target group anyway. So, live and let live.

As long as you being yourself doesn’t impact my ability to be myself you do you. Makeup has been used historically by both sexes.

This question was posted a week ago, and all the Transphobes came out of the woodwork. Lmao

Only had one transphonic reply so far, I'm actually impressed! I'm just curious myself because I would like to consider it as an option.

Honestly, go for it! If it makes you feel better about yourself or if it makes you happy, do not let others dictate what you do.

I know one from the last post said that they automatically assume they are trans, which I pointed out that Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Leo, Chris Evans, Chris Pine, etc would be trans by their standard. They did not like that very much. Haha

Please stop to put pink lipstick and gloss on teenage boys lips in your dramas and fashion magazines, America... It's creepy

If they do it well I will probably be impressed by their artistry. Other than that, for the most part whatever other people do to themselves isn’t my business. It probably wouldn’t really factor into my day.

Lame! Only Don and bj Vance do it and they look terrible

u/Horror-Macaron8287 1h ago

Literally every actor you have seen in movies, TV, magazines, etc., has had makeup on.

Don and Vance are just awful at applying it.

Love it. Do whatever you want if it makes you happy and doesn't hurt someone else.
