Hi.
So, there's been some discussion recently online and such about more and more men starting to wear at least basic makeup. I'm not talking about mascara and blush and eyeshadow or lipstick, but just basic things like concealer/foundation and powder, maybe bronzers to help even out skin tone and cover up any blemishes. There are a ton of brands out there that market themselves as "Makeup for Men", but their prices are typically inflated by a shitload, while generally offering the same product as "womens" makeup. I imagine a lot of the reason is to prey on guys who are new to it and don't realize it's essentially the same stuff that women use, just with a different branding. One of them is seriously something like "Tactical Makeup for Men" and it's all black branding with military dudes, etc and it's just so eye-rolling lol
In any case, do any of y'all gents wear this? If so, do you go for the "made for men" brands, or just stick to whatever? I've considered it, particularly when I have important meetings or interviews to go to, but also even for everyday use. I'm curious to hear some of y'all's opinions.
