What do you feel about guys wearing nail polish and make-up?

I don’t see anything wrong with it.

Go for it. Nobody else’ business.

Metrosexual darling, go for your life girlfriend XD

Okay by me.

I don’t think it is weird (and in the circles I entertain, it’s rather normal).

Plenty of dashing male musicians wear makeup (and not just eyeliner and nail polish—I’m thinking more along the lines of David Bowie during his Aladdin Sane and Ziggy Stardust years. Ah, glam rock…)

Who cares what anyone else thinks! If that’s what you like do it and be happy! Maybe it these thoughts of wondering how people perceive you that are also keeping you up at night, in reference to your most recent question posted.

I wanted to look like this dude when I was a kid. Proper Prince Charming :¬)

It’s a turnoff

Ooh, Adam Ant. So hot.

I’m ya dandy highwayman, so tired of excuses.

Do what you want. I have no opinion negative or positive. I’ve worked with men who wore make-up, nail polish, earings, whatever. Especially in the music business, seems people would be very accepting.

I think eyeliner or guy-liner is sexy as hell, but anything more than that is a turn off. As for nail polish, the darker the color is, the sexier it is.

Sorry: for me it’s right up there with long hair: hates it.

If I got to know someone, and really liked them, I’d probably tolerate it as it’s their body and their business. But it would be a very bad first impression on me; and you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression, as the cliche goes.

I don’t think everyone can pull off the look. It’s attractive on some; on others, not so much.

Personally, eyeliner is all right, and sometimes eyeshadows as well.
I think it’s the brighter-colored makeups that I would be unsure of, but then if I spoke to someone wearing them and got to know the person, I would be okay with it.
With the brightly colored makeups, my initial thought would be, I don’t want him to look prettier than me! Just kidding…. :P

I associate it with show biz—- whether actor, tv commentator, fashion mannequin, or musician. However, outside that venue, say, as a woman being hit on, I would find it off-putting, even so far as to wonder if you were a lesbian cross dresser or a gender-changer. It is part of sexual signalling and confuses. The facial makeup more than the nails because people meet face to face, after taking in general cues of dress and carriage. It would also be very upsetting to any conservative males you come in contact with for whatever reason and may prejudice them against you.

I feel fine about it. Do what you need to do.

I think it’s fine on musicians and others in the artsy/showbiz industry. It’s kind of a turn on to me. But not in the business world.

If I had a cute boyfriend, and I knew he was straight, I would find it fun to paint his toe-nails and help him/watch him apply makeup. In private.

@chyna has it right, though. There’s a time and place for men with makeup and nail polish, the artworld welcomes it, but if would be very off-putting in a church, in a business setting or amongst a group of mostly elderly people (who I think would find it shocking and offensive). The same thing goes for tatoos and piercings, other than standard ear piercings on women.

Do what you like, none of my business.
That said, a lot of Goth dudes look totally hot with all that stuff on. :D

It’s hot.

It is very common in the entertainment industry, successful business men have been doing it for years.

For me, musicians and other entertainers can get away with wearing whatever they like and a few of them actually look fetching but for the most part, not for me.

I personally find it appealing on some men. It has to be in an appropriate situation for others. If my fiance were to put on make-up for the first time without warning, it might require therapy.

Idfc, imo,wgas. lol!

@Pied_Pfeffer Therapy… for him, or for you?

Do whatever you feel comfortable with.
I love it on Johnny Depp!

@downtide Since it would be completely unexpected and out of character for what I know, the therapy would be for me. It would only require one in-depth conversation with him. This isn’t a deal-breaker…just a shock.

Each to their own. I don’t usually find it very attractive when guys wear make up but that’s a personal preference.

Wow u guys are great, this is a real confidence booster. I have worn nail polish (black/purple) and make-up (black) for years. And there are so many people who have given me so much shit for it and you guys have just made my day. Thank u all, even the ones who said they didn’t like it. I wanted complete honesty so thanks.

@TrkReznor You might be interested in Tony and Tina Cosmetics, I assume they are still around, I launched them at Bloomingdale’s back in the day, when I was a cosmetic buyer. Anyway, they, Tony and Tina were into shakras, and definetly marketed to men and women. Had nail polish in all sorts of colors. They believed you gravitated towards colors you need. Like, someone who likes to look at blue, might suffer from headaches, and having blue on your nails, there at the ready, when you feel you need to see blue will help align you. Something like that. I might have the color wrong for headaches, but that was their basic new agey idea. They were a very nice couple, very young when I met them.
