Post Gothic make-up on men. Yes or no?
Well yeah. Yes or no? I quite like a bit of black around the eyes every now and then but I just want to know what you guys think about it. :mrgreen:

The only limits I put on make-up are related to what I'll be doing whilst wearing it. If I'm going to a job interview, for example, I'll keep it to a foundation and concealer, maybe some pencil to fill out my eyebrows and sideburns. If I'm going out to a club, well, depending on the club, sky's the limit. Same for a party. Out for the day, no workplace, depends on my mood.

I would say yes. I like men who can not only wear Gothic make-up, but wear it proudly and confidently.

Guyliner - Ooooh yes! Men in drag are awesome too although anything in between is questionable. It really depends upon the situation! I mean, Kiss had a hell tonne of makeup on, but he's a performer. My ex used to wear makeup, he entertained eyeliner and mascara occasionally, but if I ever saw him put lipstick on I would have seriously have had to question our relationship.

I love makeup on men. It is more about the style and technique matching the look, but that applies to everyone, no matter what their sex! I especially adore eyeliner and mascara. Nail polish is also cool, especially black.

Depends on the style, for an old postpunk the natural dark rings around the eyes are enough, for a new romantic there could be tons of white, red and black colour. I think black lipstick for men is possible.

Oh yes, I love the look of makeup on men. I wish more of them cared to wear it!

I strongly agree. :D

Depends on the guy. If he's a skinny goth boi of frail features, yes.

If he's a stompy-boot wearing, facial hair having Industrial type - then definitely no.

I still say the stompy-booting rivethead can benefit from some heavy smoky eyes. I don't like the look of lipstick on bearded and/or moustachioed men, but sideburns or even well-groomed muttonchops can pull off almost anything.

Definitely not, but thats just my personal taste. Makeup can look good on men, especially if they have a well defined facial bone structure.

Hmmm (@bloodspit: hey again!) see I quite like a bit of black nail varnish. So long as its on the right nails it looks good. I aggre with what you said about the make up. Does anyone know where you can get some realy good white whole body make up? E.g make up powder?
