I only saw one there that I thought "fit", the rest..... give me a break and man-up.
The one that "fit" would be black nails in a heavy metal / goth / dark type look.
Now makeup to cover up a scar, a blemish, dark under eyes, etc. I have no problems with that personally; as long as it looks NATURAL. When you look at a guy and can see he is wearing makeup, sorry, unless it is for theater or a concert, or something like that, I tend to think it is a bit too feminine and shake my head. It simply is not for me, and yes, I will instantly draw a conclusion about the person doing it. After all, what we wear is MEANT to send a signal, it is why we wear it.
I am not a lady, but yes, I think it is "uncool". I don't care what actor or performer does it. They are swooned over not because they wear the makeup, but because women fall for the IMAGE they present in their professions. So in this case I believe it is not the makeup that is "cool" it is the person wearing it (if even then); and we often see them (performers/entertainers) wearing some pretty ugly and stupid stuff, but that does not matter... because it is "X" who is wearing it. See that clothing or makeup, or whatever, on some random dude walking down the street and most of those swooning women (IMO) would be ignoring the guy, or not be attracted to him at all, if not avoid him all together.
We have seen trends come and go and look back and say "I can't believe I thought that was cool just because X wore it. OMG we looked STUPID!"
Here is yet another one IMO.
But I am sure some gals might like that look...... there is always someone out there that will like most anything. I personally don't think it is most women though. If it was, I would think we would see that all the time, and honestly I can count the number of guys I have seen visibly wearing makeup like that on less than one hand (again, in "normal" settings).
I know some of you girls like your men totally emasculated, but really, I want my men to look like men! *giggles* oops! hope that didn't offend anyone too much! xx B
LOL! The mega-trend men and makeup. Hey, follow the money - throw some celebs into the picture, pay them a fortune, and watch your cosmetic stocks go up - Cha-Ching!
Sometimes I wonder if some guys may be wearing makeup but we just don't know it? Like if it's a bit of concealer under the eyes and it's out at night, you might not be able to tell. It would be weird though, admittedly. If a guy had some random zit he wanted to cover up though, I doubt I'd care much. Do what you need to do to feel good, I always say.
As far as the man-polish and guy-liner - I'm not into it, unless you're legit in a rock band or an urban artist or edgy celeb and even then it might be a bit of hit or miss - depending on the guy. Some like Dave Navarro and Russell Brand can pull it off - it vibes with their look, but yeah, the average guy should probably stay away from it. It can go from edgy/cool to feminine and fussy very quickly if you're not careful.
Those looks are too metro for me. For me straight leg jeans or cargo shorts with t-shirts, baseball cap or a cowboy hat. Boots, sneakers or sandals. For work a business suit that's not too tight and the trousers are long enough so that it doesn't look like you are expecting a flood. For casual outing, khaki pants (no pleat) , polo shirt or button down with sleeves rolled up and penny loafers, no socks.
My job requires I suit and tie it mostly, sometimes even the tuxedo for social events, etc. My sailing and leisure togs reflect "upscale" though I have jeans and stuff, too. That said, I don't own any yoga pants or jogging suits or any of that sloppy look wear. On the other hand, I don't wear any makeup of any kind and my manners - though gentlemanly - are manly enough, I think. LOL I deal with entertainment types everyday, so I see plenty of "metrosexuals" of all varieties and styles. I don't judge, but neither do I emulate. It's just not me.
Some guys may be able to pull this off, in a few select places in the country, but nowhere I frequent.
