I found this online and thought I needed to share it with the world. Many men do wear make-up and we just don't know it! This is a funny and entertaining tutorial for all those men who may be interested.

As a survivor of the glamrock era, I can say from experience that most men (in the rock music business) wore makeup in the 1970s and eighties. Not just on TV and for live shows, but also socially. It wasn't considered alternate lifestyle behaviour. It was and integral part of the pop culture. I've done TV appearances lately where I didn't wear makeup and I can tell you that the bright light does wash out features and gives a ghostly appearance overall. However, wearing makeup in a social setting (such as going out to a club) in this new millennium might send off the wrong signals and one might find oneself in an awkward position, as I'm sure many people today in their 20s would consider makeup on a male either a gay or goth statement.
